...been a concurrent upgrading of university standards across the country. Stanford and Chicago, Antioch and Duke are the second choice of many an Ivy Leaguer's son. And Westerners' hearts swelled with pride when, in a recent survey of graduate-school faculties, the University of California at Berkeley was rated the "best balanced" in the country, edging out Harvard...
...Broadway theater in which it plans to open in November. It presents the President and Lady Bird as latter-day Macbeths, murdering anyone who gets in their way, opposing "the Wayne of Morse," and chattering in very blank verse. Heaved together by a 25-year-old former Berkeley student named Barbara Garson, the play and its message are exemplified in Macbeth's lines to his chief of war, Lord MacNamara...
Somewhat grudgingly, Chancellor Murphy concedes that U.C.L.A.'s sister campus at Berkeley is "more prestigious"-but then he will reel off a host of statistics to prove how much the gap has narrowed.

But new coach Rocky Carzo has been brought to Medford from Cal. at Berkeley, and this year's freshman team is the product of Carzo's campaign. The Tufts varsity will get better and better in the future. Maybe the HAA will have to take them off the Crimson schedule...
