...last night's 6-3 hockey victory over the University of Vermont Catamounts, the line of George Hughes, freshman Tommy Murray and Gene Purdy proved themselves to be a fiercely potent scoring unit. Everyone this side of the Mississippi knows that George can put the puck past any goaltender. Last Tuesday Hughes fittingly scored Harvard's first goal of the 1977-1978 campaign. Last night the mustachioed junior twice beat UVM's goaltender Tony Frost with wrist shots seven feet from the crease, for the first two tallies of the contest...

That the male gnome remains potent until about 350 years of age or that the buxom females, unencumbered by gravity, go braless may be of greater interest to parents than to the very young. The rest of this oversize book, with its bounteous legends, its wealth of robust humor and lavish illuminations, deserves a resounding G rating...
Student polls provide the UCS with a potent weapon for swaying the administration. "The tradition in the past is that before we do anything, we take a poll," Michael L. Mael, vice chairman of the UCS, says. Past polls have questioned students on subjects ranging from their opinion of Brown's health service to whether the members of a student-faculty committee should resign in protest of the body's ineffectiveness...
