...were a cross between the travelling tent-show and the camp-meeting. They were the country relatives of the Lyceum lectures where Whitman exhorted and praised the "common man" and Emerson taught him philosophy. Pirsig's harking back to this old American institution, his one man revival of that vein of democratic oratory is not sentimental. Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance offers intellectual challenge, a real critical education in the philosophy of science that sounds the concrete language and experience of contemporary "common...
...jazz standards. The two numbers which lingered longest in Sander's hot summer air were, no doubt, Ray Brown's "Is There Anything Still There," and Duke Ellington's stock favorite "Satin Doll." Brown's eloquent tune featured a deep sax solo in the Coleman Hawkins vein by Jim Scales, who unfortunately had to battle a couple of over-zealous trumpeters to be heard.

These can't even be graced by the term "righteous indignation" because there is so little of substance offered to be rigteous about. Like its predecessors, the work degrades The Crimson because of its frenzied attempts to create an issue out of pettiness when this university is confronted by issues of its purposes, programs, and style far more significant than five years ago, issues that are being met with silence. These articles have demeaned your...
