...were especially distraught yesterday at the news of their kidnapping in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, by the CIA. Apparently in an effort to blacken the Mime Troupe's image six CIA agents put on a performance last night at Sanders Theatre that had fake written all over it. It was vulgar, unfunny and at the first act's end a rather uncomfortable pom-pom girl conducted the audience in a chorus of Stokely Carmichael's chant, "Hell no, we won't go." The CIA's plan backfired, though, because the audience was so determined to like the widely-touted Mime Troupe...

Helen Gurley Brown's guide for swingers, Sex and the Single Girl sold about 2,500,000 copies In each case Gais, assisted...
...decided long ago when the masters initiated parietals and when Mrs. Bunting allowed Radcliffe girls to sign out overnight. That fact signified that the university, although concerned, did not see fit to interfere in the private affairs of its students. The whole problem of parietals is a distasteful and vulgar tug-of-war which challenges the university in an area where the greatest possible concession has already been made. The university is wrong to limit parietals for reasons made explicit above. The student body is wrong to operate under a control which is permissive ... but just so much...
