Birth Control is no longer a "crusading" movement. Gone are the days when Nurse Margaret Sanger languished in jail for "obscenity," or when her sister Ethel went on a hunger strike to attract public attention. Birth-control clinics are still illegal in only two States; contraceptives may now legally be sold in all but two.* According to a recent Gallup Poll, 77% of U.

Thus, Mr. Freedman suggests that the Editors of the Advocate make no attempt to secure the best undergraduate writing available at Harvard; the facts would indicate otherwise. In addition to three competitions held during the course of the year, which attract upwards of one hundred and fifty candidates, the magazine makes a further canvass of competition courses, seeking out their most capable work; and is responsible also for the Story Magazine fiction contest, which this year, for example, attracted some fifty contributions.

This is and will attract men this way more than it will appeal to philosophy concentrators...
...nasty comment than "Technology? Good school," would be heartbreaking, but the myth is as yet undisturbed. Their continuous guerrilla warfare, consisting of such minor pranks as neckties draped around John Harvard and abortive attempts to weld the gates, has gone unnoticed. Last year, however, Rochester's abduction did attract some attention, but Harvard failed to grasp the idea that it was only part of a rivalry of long standing...
