P: In Tokyo the Exchange Student Association, an informal group of students who have studied abroad, decided to publish a few words of wisdom for the benefit of the 1,000 young Japanese who will spend next year in the U.S. Sample advice to the girls: "When an American man starts behaving wickedly to you, don't hesitate to slap him in the face. This works instantly in the Land of Ladies First." Advice to the men: "It's ladies first, of course, when you enter a car or a door or sit down. But on a stairway, be sure to walk ahead of the lady. This is because the skirts are getting so short." Advice for all: "Americans consider a train coach a parlor, and pandemonium will result if any Japanese strip to their underwear, as on Japanese trains." P: The national organization of the Sigma Kappa sorority notified its chapters at Cornell and Tufts universities that "for the good of the sorority as a whole," it was expelling them both. Though headquarters gave no specific reasons, the chapters had a pretty good guess: last spring, the Tufts chapter pledged two Negroes, the Cornell chapter one. P: At the request of the privately supported Asia Foundation, whose members include Author James A. Michener, Paul Hoffman and Eric Johnston, the International Correspondence Schools World Ltd. opened up special operations in Hong Kong and on Formosa to provide low-cost courses in mechanical engineering for Chinese students living outside of Red China. Reason for the move: each year Red China is inducing thousands of young people on to the mainland by offering educational opportunities not available elsewhere.
