Regardless of the reason for his ragged literary display, this Savit character, who I can't help but pray is as typical of the average Harvard undergrad as is "Gorilla Monsoon" of the typical Dartmouth student, was very blatant and irresponsible in his editorial accusations: 1) Harvard must be beaten by Dartmouth so that these New Hampshire "preppies" can "justify spending the rest of their lives in a cow pasture"; "Dartmouth fans, obnoxious at best and crybabyish the rest of the time. . ."; "Harvard's victory was so terribly depressing for the Dartmouths. . ."; "you have to wonder how they can stand...

If the new monsoon is normally heavy, if public order prevails, and if she can be absolutely sure that she and her party will be returned with a handsome majority, Mrs. Gandhi will call free-and presumably democratic -elections late this year or in the spring, and these elections will undoubtedly be accompanied by a relaxation of the strictures imposed during the emergency.
