APRIL and MAY At the beginning of April, the underclassmen returned from their vacations, and the seniors, having finished their comps, left on theirs. The New Haven weather fmally began to get fairly good, and the courtyards 0f the library and the colleges became crowded with sunbathers and scholars 1nd combinations of the two. The spring athletic season got into full swing, and the track team developed into one of the greatest that Yale has ever had. Fraternity XVeekend and College XVeekend came and were enjoyed and passed, leaving only examinations between Yale and the world of the summer. The Dramats spring musical, Tom Jones,n was one of the highlights of the spring in New Haven entertainment. The freshmen were no longer allowed to walk on the grass of the Old Campus, and then suddenly they were not f reshmen any more.

Paid Hindemillz, mmpmer-mlzdilclar MARCH Challenges spring colloquium was held on the second weekend of March, and it was even more successful than the hrst. More than twelve hun- dred students attended the meeting on The Chal- lenge of American Democracy. The same format of panels, informal talks, coffee seminars, and four major speakers which was used in the fall was followed. Harold Taylor, former president of Sarah Lawrence College, A. Phillip Randolph, Negro labor leader, Senator Barry Goldwater, and Thurgood Marshall delivered the principal addresses. A folk music concert with Odetta and Pete Seeger was sandwiched in the weekend and drew more than 2500 people. Another important group of speeches was given by Sir George Mac- Leod, Scotch leader of the Iona Community, who held the Danforth Fellowship. Concern with the civil rights fight was maintained in March. A meeting to raise money for aid to Southern Ne- groes arrested in the controversy was held, and a large group of divinity students staged a silent march of protest down Elm Street to the Green. March was a good month for entertainment. The appearance of a company performing a Chinese Opera provided some of the year's best theater. The Drama Schools production of He XVho Must Die was another exceptionally fine piece of entertainment, but for many undergradu- ate a more significant break-through was the years first triple feature. No summary of March entertainment would be complete without a men- tion of the election of the Secretary and the Treasurer of the Class of 1961. The Newt even abandoned its policy of disengagement to join the fray, which was as angry as it was assinine. Athletically March was a good month also, for the swimmers beat Harvard in uthe greatest dual meet in history ; the hockey team also beat the Cantabs 3-2, thereby alleviating the pain of a previous 5-0 loss; the track team, although finish- ing only second in the IC4Als, showed up very well; and the polo team won the national inter- collegiate indoor tournament. A heavy snow called forth the latent creative powers of the undergrad- uates, but when the weather warmed a little, all thoughts turned to Bermuda and Florida and comps.
