Pods on the Stream. Almost since it was written, in 1824, this grim, mocking little book has lain like a corpse in the cellar of English literature; people forget it is there until some literary busybody begins nosing around, gets a staggering whiff, and cries for everybody to come see what he has dug up.

A fine rhythm section-Baby Dodds, drums; Pops Foster, bass; Ralph Sutton, piano; and Danny Parker, guitar-make the base for all of these pieces.

The organization will work for legislative action against schools which perpetuate discriminatory policies...
...train and is welcomed by a special committee of sophomores. He sees a big sign in the station "Welcome Freshmen." He is guided to the campus, where his first days contain welcoming speeches, a big dance, meetings with advisers, exchange dinners with the girls' dorms, a tour around the "Farm," a varsity football game, and a barbecue supper for all new students. Thus he is introduced to the Stanford way of life...
