...other poems, "The Body Vigil" and "Im Herbst," although both are rather weak in organization from stanza to stanza, show that Kershner has developed a poetic vocabulary. He speaks again and again of the seasons, of ice, of wind, of worms, of fire, and these images come to define, not merely describe, feelings...
Allan Vogel '65, co-winner of the Orchestra's annual Concerto Contest, played Telemann's E-minor Oboe Concerto. Vogel has an enormous, full sound. Although you can never cover oboes up entirely. I used to think of them as being the delicate members of the wind section. I had no idea that Sanders could ring from the sound of a single oboist. His tone was pleasant, and his technique nearly flawless. I wasn't bowled over, but his phrasing and musicianship were equally good.

Blue-water yachtsmen who have made the 1,200-mile thrash from Argentina to Brazil are convinced that the triennial Buenos Aires-Rio race is the most infuriating test of men and boats yet devised. The prevailing northeasterly head winds often hit 40 knots or more.

Because burns are among the most common disfiguring, crippling and fatal accidents, physicians and surgeons have tried almost every imaginable therapy. In the 100 years since Lister discovered asepsis, practitioners have hopefully tried phenol, boric acid, picric acid, iodoform, tannic acid, sulfa drugs and ACTH, only to wind up, after a few years, disappointed in all of them. Now another new and seemingly miraculous treatment has been discovered, and once again doctors are hopeful-this time with better reason...
Harvard's quintet hosts Yale in the IAB at 8 p.m., and no matter what happens, the Crimson will probably wind up in the second division of the Ivy League for the 18th consecutive year. Harvard stands in fifth place in the League with a 5-8 record, while the Elis hold down fourth with a 6-6 mark...
