...that ivy doesn't grow on. They were desolated when blue jeans became acceptable attire at Old Nassau's eating clubs, and they were appalled two weeks ago when state cops broke up a ring of marijuana-smoking undergraduates. But not everything at Princeton has gone to pot. Last week Princeton's basketball team caged Harvard 90-46 for its twelfth victory in 13 games - and became the first Ivy League squad in 16 years to be ranked among the nation...
...whatever name, the goal is the same: to sneak out in the dead of night and shroud the victim's house from chimney pot to privet hedge with yard upon yard of toilet paper, preferably the tinted or floral varieties. The antic is performed by boys or girls, but always in pairs or a group. As Sue Simms, 18, a senior at Silver Spring, Md.'s Montgomery Blair High School, points out, "You need someone on the other side of the tree in order to fling the dwindling roll back and forth." And there are rules as well...
That looks like pennies compared to what lies ahead. The University of Chicago is seeking $360 million over ten years, and even though the campaign started only in October 1965, Chicago already has $80 million in the pot. Columbia is after $200 million in three years, Northwestern $180 million in five. Duke hopes to raise $100 million in less than four years, while Yale and Long Island University are pursuing the same amount in a decade.

Acid-heads and pot smokers feel that they can ease the weight of the Sisyphean stone by drug use. "LSD is like Ban deodorant," says a University of Michigan acidhead. "Ban takes the worry out of being close; LSD takes the worry out of being." The National Student Association's Chuck Hollander...
...major population centers of California, the use of marijuana (alias "boo," "grass," "tea" or "Mary Jane") is so widespread that pot must be considered an integral part of the generation's life experience. Insiders say that no fewer than 50% of Los Angeles high school students have tried marijuana at least once, and that 25% use it regularly once or twice a week. At Berkeley, marijuana has given way to acid, which costs $2.50 per trip v. $2 for a milder marijuana kick. In fact, though, the great majority of Now People shun the traditional opium derivatives-heroin...
