P: The regents of the University of Wisconsin issued an ultimatum to all undergraduate organizations: no racial discrimination. Joker: the ultimatum's deadline is July 1960.

P: Ohio Northern University, feeling a "distinct responsibility," announced plans for placing its entire faculty at the service of its new Project A: "Investigation of Phenomena"--i.e., flying saucers.

P: Recalling his days as headmaster of Andover in the September Atlantic Monthly, Claude M. Fuess (rhymes with peas) had some tales to tell of visiting clergymen and their sermons: "The patience of a schoolboy congregation is often sorely tried. One winter three successive clergymen took as their theme the parable of the Prodigal Son. Again, three visiting clergymen in a row ended their sermons with a stereotyped quotation from Sir Henry Newbolt, beginning, 'There's a breathless hush in the close tonight,' and concluding dramatically, 'Play up! play up! and play the game! . . .' On one painful morning a clergyman of national reputation preached a sermon identical in text and argument with that used by an eminent divine the week before. A little Sherlock Holmes investigation disclosed the unfortunate fact that both were 'canned' sermons, evidently from the same source."
