Report Card

P: American University in Washington, D.C. took a hard look at reality in the nation's capital, announced a new course in ghostwriting.

P: After a "spot survey" of Oxford students, the undergraduate Isis concluded that modern Oxonians are as poor as church mice. The average student gets -L-336 ($940.80) in income and allowance, pays out -L-230 ($644) for college fees, has only -L-106 ($296.80) left for clothes, travel, incidentals. As a result, says the Isis, two out of every three Oxford men must now work during vacations.

P: To reduce the "unhappiness and disappointment" produced by its fraternity system, Williams College announced a sweeping set of reforms of the whole rushing system. From now on, said President James P. Baxter, students will be rushed only after their freshman year, until then will eat with the rest of their classmates. The college also intends to build a new student union building, with dining halls, lounges, and library--centrally located and, unlike the fraternities, "open to all."
