Wife Linda and the two Lionettes have joined him and together they've hit the slopes for schussing at Garmisch (nary a Dartmouth man in sight!) and made the Paris jaunt.

INKADENTAL INTELLIGENTZ
Last month we suggested you might be interestedin writing one of our classmates inJapan regarding your tutoring tasks to helpin an exchange of such information, and nowPhil Chamberlain reports from Elsinore, Denmark,that he is a visiting lecturer in philosophy there:
"During the week of August 30 to September 5 I was a USA delegate to the NATO study conference in Copenhagen. This conference recommended the establishment of a Cultural Center of the West in order to promote international understanding and goodwill, particularly between members of the Atlantic Community. The International Board, appointed by the conference to control the project and insure a non-political development, designated me as the co-ordinator of the drive, and it is my task now to enlist support of all kinds. We need suggestions and imagination so that concrete steps may be planned and the very nature of the Center itself defined."
Any of you who have some contributions to make in this regard, drop a line to Phil at the International People's College, Elsinore, Denmark.
