Report Card

P: In a brief ceremony at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis last week, the three midshipmen who had been denied their commissions pending a completed security check solemnly raised their right hands and thus became officers, seven days after the rest of their class.

P:" MichiganState College was having its troubles with members of its football squad. Within a few months, Star End Bill Quinlan has been dropped from the squad after being involved in a brawl outside a sorority house, Fullback Vic Postula got into a fist fight, ended up by knocking some of his opponent's teeth out, and Halfback Gene Lekenta is facing trial for assault on another student.

Last week Freshman Howard Graves, 24, co-winner of a "Most Valuable Player" award this spring, was out on bail after a 19-year-old M.S.C. coed accused him of rape.
