Undoubtedly, that is a difficult code to live by, and lew try to. But living by a lesser code can be difficult too, as is shown by tne almost frantic attempt of sociologists and psychologists to give people something to hold on to without falling back on traditional rules. Typical of many is the effort of Lester A. Kirkendall of Oregon State University, in his recent book, Premarital Intercourse and Interpersonal Relationships: "The moral decision will be the one which works toward the creation of trust, confidence and integrity in relationships."

Staunch members of our Association will not be bothered a tiny bit by the hypocritical efforts that are being made to present us as "the bad guys." All of us know that if we wanted to be thought "nice" we should...
...have cost Harvard the Ivy Championship by forcing the Crimson to exhaust its precious supply of timeouts on illegitimate substitutions during the second half of the Columbia game. Harvard fans recall with some displeasure the frantic efforts of quarterback Mike Bassett to get the ball in play at the end of that game with only a short distance to the endzone remaining...
