Monroney told the Senate dur

noon Monday have completely ex

The temporary shutdown
knocked out the lights and elec

House restaurants, stalled some
elevators, and silenced the
quorum call bells. The Senate
chamber itself, fed by a dif
ferent power line, was not af
fected.
While weary senators lunched
by candlelight on salads, sand
wiches and lukewarm soup, the
clocks that were still working
ticked off a new record for an un
broken Senate session.
At 1:39 p.m. the Senate had
been sitting without a break for
54 hours and 11 minutes, sur
passing a record of 45 years
standing.
The previous record of 54 hours
and 10 minutes was set in 1915
during a successful filibuster
against a ship:purchase bill pro
posed by President Woodrow Wil

was broken by one 15-minute re

Lucky Strike's Dr. Frood is asked
Why Are Today's Students More
Serious, Dedicated, Industrious?
Dear Dr. Frood: In your day, college
students were all rah-rah and raccoon
coats. Today's student is more respon
sible, more dedicated, more industrious.
What accounts for this big change?
Dear Stu: Today's world is more com
plex, more challenging. Ideologies clash.
Our planet grows smaller. The cold war
strikes fear into our hearts. There is a
shortage of raccoons.
Dear Dr. Frood: I am disgusted with
my classmates. All they think about is
women and parties. How can I get them
to talk about important things?
Dear Serious: Throw a large party.
Invite plenty of women. Then, around
midnight, say something important, like
"We're out of beer."
Dear Dr. Freed: Modern girls go to
college for four years. Then they get
married and don't even know how to
change diapers. What is this leading to?

Dear Old-Fashioned: Self-sufficient

Dear Senior: Your question brings up a

with interesting technical ramifications.
Having given the matter much thought, I
