...characters are somewhat exaggerated, and the most interesting of them is Falco, "the boy with the ice cream face," portrayed by Tony Curtis. Falco wants to climb the "golden ladder," to arrive "way up high, where it's always balmy." "Nice to people where it pays to be nice," Falco is assigned by J.J. to break up Suzy's romance. Since he won't get space in J.J.'s column until he does, Falco resorts in turn to blackmailing one rival columnist and procuring a prostitute for another in order to have an item smearing Dallas printed in the papers...
...Masters' recent request that graduate students be allowed to move into rooms made vacant by the construction of Leverett towers is the logical solution to a somewhat unexpected problem. If contributors to the Program had realized that by the spring of 1959 the College would be wondering what to do with its newly acquired rooming space, they might have been slightly amused at the pleas for more rooms.

Although occasionally awkward and at first somewhat limp, both the male and female choruses soon found their stride and by the climactic scenes of the second act, successfully projected their spirit to the audience. Their singing and dancing of such numbers as "Swing" and "Conga" was not only circusy but buoyant. Jim Fadiman's Valenti, the sleezy operator of a Village nightspot, was perhaps the outstanding member of the chorus...
