'r ...Thru U.S. government. Kennedy, in March, accepted the idea, named Yale man Sargent Shriver director of the project. The Pierson College newspaper broke the news that the Pierson courtyard was a likely candidate for the site of next year's bladderball game, following this year's unfortunate debacle fafter the Baumer had wonj on the Old Campus. Quincy Porter be- moaned the idea, thinking of the beautiful French doors lining the common room. Under Timothy Dwight's exceptional Chubb Fellow program, slightly left-wing New York Timer editor Herbert Matthews came to promote the implausible notion that Castro's government was not Communist. Hollins College ffor women, in Virginiaj an- nounced the appointment of Assistant Professor of History John Logan, jr. as the fifth president of that institution. Then Yale truly proved to be the mother of presidents fat least the educational varietyj, as Associate Professor of Economics and European economic historian John E. Sawyer was named the eleventh president of Williams College in Massa- chusetts. On the second Sunday evening in December, it began to snow and did not stop until the next after- noon. The result was over a foot of snow, 170, and 30 mph weather. New Haven, which perenially acts as if it had never experienced a snow storm before, was incapacitated all day Monday, but Mother Yale i U! r 1 1 , - Q- , ' 5 x ' ' fe , Z -.M , K f' 4... 5 b .Q X- .

Then, as Yale's Christmas present to its students, the Financial Aids Office announced that effective next year, Freshman bursary students would work ten hours a week for 35400, Sophomores and Juniors ten hours a week for 33450, and Seniors nine hours a week for 53450. This was the long-awaited an- nouncement of changes in the system, and the novel way in which the board renovated the bursary sys- tem was applauded by everyone. The day that most people left for vacation, it was snowing again. In the fog over Brooklyn, a United jet collided with a TWA Constellation, causing the nation's second-worst air disaster. Most parents and girl friends were more than glad to see their Yalies get home that day. But vacation was short, and tragedy was soon forgotten in cups of Christmas cheer and Yuletide parcels and parties. The day after vacation, the Yale Daily Neufr an- nounced in screaming banner headlines that the Yale College faculty had extended upper class cut rules to Freshmen and Sophomores, although many old-timers said they would go right on reporting absences. And they did. Yale tied Harvard for top honors by sending four students to study next year at Oxford on Rhodes Scholarships.
