Last weekend was club weekend at Princeton and an amazingly impressive group of girls from all over the Eastern seaboard were bussed in to trim the horns of the Princeton boys. But as clubbies and their dates splashed through the three inches of beer which accumulated on the basement floor of one of the clubs, few probably stopped to realize that Harvard's victory over the highly-touted Tiger lacrosse team Saturday was the third major upset of Princeton by the Crimson squad this year, all before Princeton crowds...

Judged by any criterion-age, dress or deportment-the student body that recently turned up for the opening of the Navaho Community College at Many Farms, Ariz., was as varied as could be found on any campus...
