Thus Congress handed President Kennedy his first major legislative defeat. That done. Charlie Halleck's Republicans and the hard-shell Democrats figured it would be easier to rally future opposition to such equally contentious Kennedy proposals as the education bill and medical aid to the aged.

With only four returning lettermen, competition among the oarsmen is unusually strong this year. Love notes he is depending on the returnees, led by captain Perry Boyden, to provide a strong nucleus for the shell. The other lettermen are seniors Luke Breckinridge and Ken Gregg and junior John Higginson. So far, Love said yesterday, he has not attempted to put together a varsity shell, but will begin testing combinations soon.

From her devastating rendition of I'm a Red Hot Mama to the hearty parody of Plant You Nog' Dig You Later, she showed herself a remarkably skilled comedienne. It was an increasing pleasure to see her bounce onto the stage, wiggle her nose, etc., and let go with that big voice...
