They find solace in the presence of others their age who have not yet tried marijuana-or listen spellbound to a youngster who claims he has. They display as much interest in girls as anyone else their age, and so they ponder the mysteries of love. A few wise guys have smuggled in copies of the latest Playboy, and these are assiduously examined under blankets by flashlight...
Harvard fields other intercollegiate squads in the fall, but, with the possible exception of a perenially terrific woman's soccer team, they draw little fan interest. But whether you're watching the crew boats--Cambridge's most popular way of doing nothing--jogging, or sleeping, it is wise to do it outside in this area's most beautiful season.

In the U.S., the cost of the camps ranges between $300 and $400 per week. Though these campers may be more computer-wise than their peers, they have not entirely abandoned tradition. Epidemics of short-sheeting coexist with robotics and PASCAL. And, like campers everywhere, eleven-year-old Evan Katzman of Homestead, Fla., is quick to give a visitor the classic rating of camp food. Says he: "It's the pits...
