Even those who have maintained membership on a CRIMSON board throughout their undergraduate years agree that their six to eight weeks as candidates were among the most valuable they spent in Cambridge. After-dinner pool upstairs in the Union or demi-taste in the House common room may have to be dropped for the duration of this intensive training period, but academic work need not suffer...

Like Ernie Pandish, Rod Serling, 34, became famous overnight with a TV play (Patterns), four years later went to Hollywood from his home in Westport, Conn., bought a house with a swimming pool, and made big money (more than $10,000 a script). Like Ernie, he fired his old agent, although the separation was more or less amicable. Unlike Ernie, he is still happily married. Perhaps like Ernie, he feels harried by having to live up in every script to his first big success. Says he: "One of the basic problems in this industry is that it never trains people...
