With the bands and the comics, the smoke and the noise, the old Gothic jazz orchestras will furnish the music, structure must have seemed very much like a convention hall. Yet these were not delegates, but only enthusiastically partisan students, who were more, removed than they liked to believe from all national affairs...
Politics, along with cigar smoke and talk of sweaters, pervaded the air around Soldiers Field. The Band presented its quadrennial poke at both parties. Saluting the advantages and disadvantages of the Nixon-Lodge ticket, the Band formed a UN, which evolved into a U-2; and in honor of Kennedy, the boys played "Younger than Springtime."

The boilermakers' delegate said it with metaphors mixed: "America and Russia are like two grizzly bears trying to get at each other. Let us pull out of this bear garden. Let us act as mediators between these...
