P:For the first time since the peak year of 1949, the U.S. Office of Education reported, college & university enrollments are slowly rising. This fall's total enrollment for 1,900 campuses: 2,148,000, up 1.5% over 1951.

P:Gadget of the week: a "student reaction meter" invented by two professors of engineering at the University of Tennessee. Henceforth, a student in the college of engineering will be able to protest that he doesn't understand what the teacher is saying by merely pressing his own special button, wired to a meter on the professor's desk. The more buttons, pressed, the more the needle will quiver, and the more it will behoove the professor to make himself clearer.

Next three in line: sex, being understood by parents, finding the right job.
