...keep silent on Russia's invasion of Finland, the Harvard Student Union will make a decision at tonight's meeting which will shape the future of its policy. It can look no longer to the Soviet with dreamy idealism. Red aggression against a tiny Scandinavian country has snapped the last possible tie with America. To dodge this reality is weakness. If the Student Union is to continue its liberal advance, it must realize that America and Russia have nothing more in common...
There will be other graduate performers present as well, but their names can rarely be predicted in advance since business, wives, and other ties make heavy inroads on the veterans' time. Some of them come to the meet as the result of a last minute impulse; in fact, it was only last year that Don McKay '38, redheaded sprint man, was drafted from the pool balcony where he had been content as a spectator and a n escort...
Unexpected occurrences seem to be in order at this particular type of meet. At a recent Alumni vs. Ulen affair the last event on the program was a 200-yard relay, consisting of four men on a team, each swimming 50 yards.

Hutter, Kendall, Barker, and McKay were then Hal's disciples--a potent enough aggregation for any sprint record...

Bach concerto which is much too fussy for any but a first rate orchestra, there was very little of the struggling with notes which one might expect from a group made up of amateurs even to the conductors. The outstanding job was done by the Radcliffe Madrigal Group in the three carols for women's voices, but the execution of the whole program was on a surprisingly high level. The concert and others like...
