II 85!:a---uu 1959-1960 by Albert Ritchie II YALES two hundred and fifty-eighth session began on September 17, 1959, with the arv rival of 1030 members of the Class of 1963. Freshman Week was a study in contrasts, be- cause the only figures on the campus were con- fused newcomers and the wordly-wise upperclass businessmen who were selling everything, includ- ing social acceptance. The choice of New Haven police Chief Francis V. McManus as one of the speakers at the matriculation banquet was more meaningful than the freshmen realized. The upperclassmen who returned on the 24th found no major change in the appearance of the university. At least one Of the mystic sanctuaries of the senior class had been renovated and recon- secrated, and Mother Phi had a new bar, reputed to be the longest in the Western XVorld and the pride and joy of DKE's all over the earth; but there had been no progress in the construc- tion of the new colleges, and the geology build- ing was still a dream. New Haven, on the other hand, had changed markedly over the summer. The Oak Street Connector was finished, and a number of the buildings in the redevelopment were almost completed. Rumors that the Co-op, which had expanded a little more over the sum- mer, was dickering to buy Sterling Library tit was to be run as a rental library, with patronage refund toot were squelched. As Classes began, however, Yale students found that there were more innovations than supposed, for Noah Porter Gate was permanently Closed, and there were campus police at the corner of College and Grove battling jaywalkers with an electric megaphone. September entertainment doled out by New Haven movie theaters spoke more than mere words could of their joy at having the Yalies back; the offerings included Brigitte Bardot, Sophia Loren, and Lady Chatterly's Lover. Football was the biggest news in September, how- ever, and Yale had both a new bulldog, Hand- some Dan X, and an experienced Call of it
