...YOURSELF is at its best when the characters are defined and the jokes as intimate as the Lowell House Junior Common Room. One of the advantages of a student-written production is its access to unique student jokes. General Education marshalling his committees to take over the University in The Long Day's Task, a supercilious emissary from the Financial Aid Office visiting a delinquent bill-payer to repossess his Harvard education and a review session with two nervous would-be lovers strike home during reading period more than broad gags that could just as easily be from the Tonight...
...horse, and my moped (you can't forget the moped--have you bought yours yet?), I can't resist the urge to wax a little nostalgic, to be a little self-serving for once. I remember the first break I got here this fall. I was just another junior--a regular sort, interested mostly in tutorial papers and chasing mopeds.

In central Harlem, 87 per cent of elementary and junior high school students fail the standardized reading tests. But this book is neither apocalyptic nor despairing. Hentoff says, "My main interest all along in writing about education has been finding ways in which certain schools can and do work for all kids, or for a larger percentage of them than...
...this suicidal inconsistency would disappear as the young players gained experience, but you can stick with that line only so long. Many of the current sophomores have been regulars for almost two full seasons now. Tennis sat on the bench as a reserve middie until the middle of his junior season, but by the next spring he was the team's big gun, playing best in the closest games. Are the two situations that much different...
