...Here, there are no fraternities to coordinate individual activities. The houses plan separate small weekends, but none of these approaches the large financial scale of the freshman effort. And the large weekend does have its advantages.

It is a unity not unlike that generated by a football game or a freshman riot. Second, Jubilee is a great release from the pressures of the freshman year. And third, it's probably the last...

Military personnel have defied orders against taking part in off-post demonstrations while in uniform.

...Tibetan Book of the Dead, edited and announced by Timothy Leary, Richard Alpert, and Ralph Metzner. Written as a manual for trippers, this adaptation of the teachings of Tibetan mystics is fun to read but shouldn't be taken too seriously. The guide outlines the stages of an acid trip and tells you how to react at each point. You'd probably be better off finding your...
