Stan's band played a swing concert last year at Sanders Theater. Between ourselves, it wasn't too good. In fact, it was even less. But shortly thereafter, the outfit was completely reorganized and enlarged. So vast was the change that when Benny Goodman auditioned the band "sat-in" and played with them for fifteen minutes, breaking the clarinet player's reed in the process. And shortly thereafter, Fitch Band Wagon evinced considerable interest in having them on their program sometime during the year...
Best point about the band though is the easy style with which it swings, its excellent special arrangements, and best of all, the fine dance tempos that it plays. This is nothing short of rank plugging. As a matter of fact, the proceedings paragraphs should have "advt." written after them. But it's about time that something good at Harvard got a little publicity...

Even if the College as a whole will have enough middle-groupers at some time in the blushing future, that does not help English, Government, or Biology now. The recent dismissals have hog-tied and rolled these departments. And the fact remains that--regardless of figures--this blow to education could have been avoided by a measure of flexibility in the appointment of associate professors and a willingness to appoint associates in some cases where predictable vacancies in the full professor rank are not ahead. The blow can still be avoided by acceptance...
Last Saturday, when Harvard lost to Dartmouth, probably even the dumbest Betty Co-ed in the stands realized that the Crimson team hadn't even started to roll. The sad fact was that it had not made one first down. As a Monday morning answer for the Dartmouth rout, Boston sports writers launched an acid personal attack on the leaders of the H.A.A., Harlow and Bingham especially. In fact, a typical mid-season bout of asparagus-throwing has followed Saturday's game. Some carping alumni are even criticizing the spirit of the players, and yelling for Harlow to turn...
Obviously this treatment is humane, and completely satisfactory to the waiters involved. In fact Bill Bingham's regime has been ever marked by a personalized sympathy with needy athletes, tempered only by his conviction that Harvard athletics must remain on an irreproachable pedestal...
