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

OCTOBER Fraternity rushing begun in early October, but the various brotherhoods could no longer look forward t0 relieving the tensions of the rush by swinging :1 puddle at the posteriors of the new members, for all pledging was banned. This de- cree was not so suggestive of the situations of fraternities at Yale as the fact that two houses attracted Virtually no rushees. Ynleys social life was moving in a new direction; New Haven's first espresso shop opened in October. Actually social life was moving in :1 number of new directions. but the administration impeded progress by send- ing 21 campus policeman t0 the public poker party being held in the freshman lounge. The Undergraduate Lecture Committee, which was responsible for bringing Henry Ford, Walter Reuther, Martin Luther King, and Barry Gold- water to Yale in 1958-59, announced that it was joining forces with Yale's newest public affairs organization, Challenge. The first Chubb Fellow at Timothy Dwight was Senator Stephen M. Young. Democrat of Ohio. Master Berginys cup seemed to be running over, for TD introduced a new gift, the Timothy Dwight Fellowship in Arts and Letters, which brought authoress Iris Murdock t0 the college. Yale ate high off the athletic hog in October. for the soccer team emerged as a contender for the Ivy League championship, and the harriers won the Big Three Championship. Yale's foot- ball team was the basis of the real excitement, however, for it had ridden the tide of four straight shutout victories after UConn t0 thir- teenth place in the national rankings of the A550- ciated Press. October 31 began, like the last Sat- day in October has always begun, with the Ban- ner thrashing the Bnbbitts of a few of Yalehs other extra-curricular organizations in bladder- bnll, although perhaps with rather more carnage than usual. Dartmouth beat Yale in the min that afternoon, 12-8, and Yale plummeted from the polls permanently. Damn. Aim: Senators Jack Kennedy and Prescott Bush . . . Representative Charles 0. Porter . . .
