...Delmar Leighton '19, former Dean of the College, died of a heart attack Thursday at his summer home in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. He was 69 years...
...berates himself just before the bandit attack with: "What kind of man was I, to get my wife pregnant at a time like this?" As the wife, Betty Field runs the risk of menopausal pregnancy, while the other girls crank up enough trauma for several melodramas.

A cocaloony bird struts around on stage looking rather like a giant pelican with a Ph.D., and an Indian in a red, white and blue monokini war-whoops things up. The locale is "the Big Dormitory," and on the porch of this flophouse rock two marijuana-smoking harpies, a slatternly clown (Kate Reid), who runs the joint...
