...course there's no anti-Semitism in the clubs," the chairman of the Daily Princetonian told me last week. And nearly everyone else at Princeton agreed. In fact, they were indignant that, I should even ask such a question. The year of the anti-Semitism scandal at Princeton was 1958, when the wire services made it front page news in every paper in the country. But that is all over now. At least it is all over according to club rhetoric...

It didn't take them long to find out that the club system with its 90 years of tradition was not about to be moved...
...campus, of course, it would be the news that adults are doing it too. West German Playboy Gunter Sachs, it was noted, married Brigitte Bardot in Las Vegas last summer with his socks off, and already there are signs of backlash. "Socklessness is a cultural leftover," fumes one Princetonian. Sock sales are even rising in some areas. Still, as the first snowstorms swirled across the Midwest last week the purists were standing fast. "If I could get a pair of lined desert boots," said one, thinking onward in Wisconsin, "maybe I could get by all year without socks...
