Even more disturbing than returning to Harvard after a year off and finding 60 per cent of the Freshmen proclaimed pre-med majors and the Young Republicans politically prominent, is returning to the stadium to hear the inanity of a once-clever band. Do they reek of censorship or stupidity? Anyone who slept through the first half of the BU game on Saturday must surely have recoiled upon awaking to the half-baked family jokes and TV tunes of our once-distinguished family of musicians.

Last week those who had been waiting in Argentina were able to fly into Santiago, carrying with them salamis, hams, chocolate and liquor. How easy a time they will have is uncertain. The junta hardly seems hospitable to the press, foreign or domestic. Even after censorship was lifted, three journalists, Marlise Simons from the Washington Post, Georges Dupoy from Le Figaro and Pierre Kalfon of Le Monde, were arrested for stories they had written. They were later released. And, of the nine Chilean papers published before the coup, only three were permitted to appear last week...
