...were presented with a rather unappealing list of recommended charities to which to give. Having already given roughly $2100 to the World University Service during the Hungarian relief drive, many students were faced with a choice between WUS, PBH, the Salzburg Seminar, the American Field Service, and the Red Feather campaign.

The dancing, to the Prokofiev score and with few differences from the ballet film now showing in the U.S.. was heavily larded with emotion-laden pantomime. But fragile Ballerina Galina Ulanova danced lightly as a wind-wafted feather in spite of her 46 years. Most critics were ecstatic.
