With a somewhat disturbing energy and bounce, Calkins has spoken in House dining halls and appeared with SDS members on panel discussions. A few other Corporation members have tried the same thing on a smaller scale. But now, at the beginning of May, there are probably no more than five or six undergraduates who could give an accurate description of what any of the other Fellows looks like...
...social institutions at Harvard are themselves unique. Here, there are no fraternities to coordinate individual activities. The houses plan separate small weekends, but none of these approaches the large financial scale of the freshman effort. And the large weekend does have its advantages. First, hundreds of people from a basically homogeneous group all bent on having fun are, of themselves, bound to create an experience which no committee can plan fully.

Malaysia, which has a continuing problem with Communist guerillas on a small scale, is now having its national parliamentary election campaign. In this campaign the various opposition parties are freely campaigning for votes and publishing very strong criticisms of the present government. There is no indication that anything like this will happen in any Communist country in the foreseeable future...
