YALE-BROWN -- When Yale's elite secret society. Skull and Bones, tapped the mythical Eli football hero, Dink Stover, in 1911, he said it was the biggest thrill of his life. When Skull and Bones became liberal in 1948 and tapped Yale's great black halfback. Levi Jackson, he rejoiced. "Thank heavens, my name isn't Jackson Levi." But in 1971 when Skull and Bones tapped Yale's present hot shot half back. Dick Jauron, who broke Jackson's all-time rushing record two weeks ago, Jauron told Skull and Bones to buzz off. "They don't even have...
...Committee announces it has hired Otto Preminger to produce a new Harvard promotional film to replace "Experience," entitled, "Tell Me That You Love Me, Derek Bok". (Informed sources report this is in reaction to a Yale announcement that it has hired Ken Russell to produce a movie of "Dink Stover at Yale" starring Twiggy as Dink Stover at Yale" starring Twiggy as Dink and Glenda Jackson as Kingman Brewster.)

("I knew soon enough though that he was a sell-out"), told the farm workshop about the plight of the small farmers being bought out by agribusiness. "It's almost as bad as the Hoover Depression," he lamented...
...years, you don't damn Wasserman for playing the regular game. Taxes haven't been frozen. Similarly, $400 a month for the Mandrake store must have been el cheapo cheapo, considering that we were paying $250 for much less space two floors up. Skip, the manager at Billings and Stover, has moved to another Dow building, and is briskly in business opposite the Brattle Theater. It was a lousy corner for a drug store. Maybe Bill Turtle will do better than the Maudrake did. But that's up to the gods and his business sense...
