...writing this review as long as I could, because I'm not sure how to do it. Moonchildren is as funny a comedy as you are likely to see for some time, and like most good comedies it's also serious and strong. Michael Weller wrote it about the people he shared a house with during his senior year at Brandeis (that was 1964-65), people he compares in a program note to walkers across a desert strewn with unmarked patches of quicksand which they can only avoid by signaling to one another in curious and incomprehensible ways...
Number one man and captain John Thornton couldn't get untracked at all against Tiger star Jeff Oakes, and lost, 7-5, 6-3. Tim Black lost to Weller Evans, 3-6, 7-5, 1-6, at number three, while five man Jeff Weigand dropped straight sets to Mike Crost...

Eliot, the former Chancellor of Washington University, and George Weller '29, whose thoughts on The Crimson we have already read, in making the last half of the decade the brightest period to date. News flowed in from the hard working editors and the hard-worked candidates. In November 1928, a light plane narrowly missed exterminating the Harvard Band in a freak...
