Interestingly enough, Porter's "Kathy's Date," like his November "The Devil Will Spank" and "Grandfather," ends in a cemetery. Lest anyone suspect a graveyard school at South Street, Michael Hancher explains in a pompous and unnecessary editorial on "Advocate Policy" that there is no Advocate policy, that it prints anything that "achieves," and that the oversupply of cometeries and childhood recollections is purely accidental. "If the Advocate is not always a constant joy to read from cover to cover," he apologizes, "it is because writers and editors learn from mistakes." This issue should provide more than a modicum...
...true, restrict their activities to pasting football programs all over their walls, but others are eager participants. Co-ed volleyball is gaining in popularity, and this year the 'Cliffe produced a hockey team. Its record against even such mediocre competition as the Lampoon was dismal, but we suspect that as the girls gain experience they will improve. Mixed softball is now an established tradition in the Quad...
...have, I must confess, serious doubts about the efficacy--or even the integrity--of the "classic" exam-period editorial, "Beating the System," you reprinted on Monday; I almost suspect this so-called "Donald Carswell '50" of being rather one of Us--The Bad Guys--than one of You.

There are now five times as many cars for every 100 people in Europe as there were at the start of the postwar boom. The Common Market economists suspect that this means that auto sales in Europe will soon begin to level off, and they predict that if the automakers continue to expand they will find themselves in 1965 with the capacity to produce 6,500,000 vehicles, but only 5,300,000 sales...
Fighting Injustis. In conservative Portland, Reed was suspect from the day President Foster descended on it with his pacifism, social conscience and simplified spelling (dout, injustis). His students were soon questioning everything from the effect of vaudeville on children to anti-German hysteria in World War I. Reed is still that way. Portland cops once jailed a Reed student for reading Shelley by moonlight on campus; next night 20 Reed students did the same on a Portland street corner. Hardly a strike goes by in Portland without some Reed student getting involved and even arrested...
