...member committee of overseers that does for the unmotivated unemployed what Alcoholics Anonymous does for the overly motivated drinker. When one of die newly hired slum dwellers misses the whistle on Monday morning, one of the eleven goes to his house, wakes him up, dresses him, gives him a cup of coffee-and delivers him at the factory gate...
Still, the suspicion exists in many quarters that the Committee has been even more artful than appears on the surface. Despite the apparent efforts of the new system and the one used for the class of '69, Adams House still finishes second to last in the Straus Cup races, awarded for all around excellence in House sports.

The winners will then play a second best-of-seven series, and the survivors of that-if they can still stand up on their skates by then-will meet in still another best-of-seven series of games for the Cup. By then, it will probably be after Labor Day; kids will be back in school and some big-league baseball team will be taking orders for World Series tickets...
