...Crimson, which compiled a 16-0 record last winter before being eliminated from NCAA playoffs because of the NCAA's 1.6 page ruling (Ivy League papers do not abide by the league's requirement that a paper publish 1.6 pages of NCAA drivel each year), is returning only three lettermen from that squad...
...subject. The author approvingly quotes her friend as saying, among other embarrassing maxims, that "It's hard for you to imagine, when you're in love, ever being in love with anybody else." So, I guess, it is-but, if you're in the market for this kind of drivel, you might as well dig out your high school yearbook and get the real thing...

It was hard to know how to explain our position, although Schelling put on a great performance with his Monster Speech when Packard was finally through. Later Packard started talking about Stanford-he said it is infiltrated by a hard core that will have to be climinated. He said tension in this country will have to come to a head some day, and it might as well...
