Charles Flood's fantasy is a much more skillful job. Starting with an item in the CRIMSON'S Notice Column, which threatens absentee glee club members with drastic action," he sees a glee club police carrying off a negligent member. Flood has a talent for picturing undergraduates wryly. For this reason a Harvard audience ought to enjoy the story...

Admissions director, Marie Bovard explains this with the remark: "If a girl's grandparents have had no education, then all the more power to her." But this and the statement that a good looking girl has a better chance for admission are the condemnable parts of Sarah Lawrence's policy...
