...rest of the league, only Dartmouth and Princeton seem to offer much competition for the varsity: the Indians because, according to Barnaby, they are "better than anyone gives them credit for," and the Tigers because the Crimson must play them at Princeton.

Contrary to a New York Times story, the State Department is not encouraging students, quietly or otherwise, to have anything to do with the Festival. There does exist a feeling among many lower-echelon officials of the Department, that a group of well-informed and intelligent Americans would help the United States and serve to counter-balance the Communist propaganda activities. The Administration, however, maintains its policy that anybody who has contact with Communists will be contaminated, and upon return pollute...
