Report Card
P: Enrollments have reached an alltime high in both Protestant and Catholic elementary schools, according to a survey made by the National Council of the Churches of Christ. In 15 years, enrollments in the nation's 3,000 Protestant schools have jumped 61% to 186,000; Catholic enrollments are up 35% to more than 3,000,000. Leading Protestant group: the Missouri Lutheran Synod, with 1,164 schools and 95,474 students. P:A red-faced Los Angeles school administration reported that it would cost the city $1,389.50 to correct the misspelling (langauge for language) on the school system's new report cards. Cried the L. A. Examiner: "What's Rong With Skool Bored Spelling? It's Costing Munny!" P:At the University of Nebraska one night last week, 400 spring-feverish students poured out of the fraternity houses and the men's dormitories to stage a mass invasion of Sorority Row. They knocked down one house mother, swarmed up ladders and pillars, smashed windows, made off with 250 souvenir panties, girdles and brassieres. Next night, armed with pots of paint to daub their victims, they decided to re-enact the Rape of the Sabines, in the process thoroughly doused Dean Theos J. Thompson. "This has got to stop!" cried the dean. It did--after $700 worth of damage.
