TEMPLE UNIVERSITY MUSIC FESTIVAL, Ambler, Pa. During a six-week festival of music and dance, the emphasis will he on chamber music, solo recitals, and the smaller-scale symphonic works of the masters-from Beethoven to Bartók performed by such artists as the ubiquitous Van Cliburn, Soprano Elisabeth Schwarzkopf, Tenor Richard Tucker, Cellist Leonard Rose, Clarinetist Benny Goodman, and Anshel Brusilow's Chamber Symphony of Philadelphia. The Pennsylvania Ballet will take over the Greek-style amphitheater on four consecutive Thursdays beginning June 27. Ella Fitzgerald (July 12, 13) and Duke Ellington (July 25) will add a touch...

After giving up on the Crimson, the Lampoon kidnapped the president of the Gargoyle, a rival publication, and then the president of the Mountaineering Club, whose ability to scale great heights was admired, feared, and suspected.
