October came, and Yale took Brown 9-0, with some very good ball-carrying by second-stringer Bill Leckonby. King Hussein of jordan, in this country for the UN-Khrushchev circus, watched the game. Erich Fromrn addressed a capacity audience in Woolsey Hall on the meaning of socialism, saying that only a humanistic socialism could embrace the ideals of Wfestern civilization. And Glenn Gould played the piano, also at Woolsey. On Columbia weekend, 100 of Yale's most eru- dite alumni gathered in New Haven to kick off the fund drive. The day was also the tenth anniversary of Wlmitney Griswold's tenure as President, and the football team saluted him by rolling over Columbia 30-8 in the beautiful fall sunshine. The next weekend, Advise and Cowen! gave a Saturday matinee at the Shubert, but most Yalies were at the Bowl to see if Yale could take Cornell, during the pre-season one of the two Ivy teams to beat. Yale's line walked all over the Ithacans, leav- ing them downless in the first half. The final score - 22-6, making jordan Olivar's 50th victory at Yale and double that as a head collegiate coach. The night before, Jonathan Edwards held its annual singing jamboree, with the Oversextette and the Duke's Men stealing the show. Richard Nixon came to the Green on Monday and spoke to some 27,000 supporters and hecklers. After two weeks of rush, the fraternities selected their chosen many, and 40413 of Yale got back to work. One of the chief leaders of some 100,000 Black Muslims in the U.S., Malcolm X, confronted Herbert Wriglut, national youth secretary of the NAACP, in a standing-room-only debate. Malcolm X, a Negro himself, advocated segregation but sug- gested forcibly taking over several states and start- ing a black colony. And Dean Wluiteman sparked a mild controversy by suggesting that talented seniors in honors programs be allowed to receive a Master's degree. Capitalizing on Colgate's mistakes, Yale took the Parent's Day game 36-14, with the Red making their two touchdowns in the fourth period against the Eli's third string. The Newt came out and en- dorsed Nixon on the editorial page, while damning him on the f1rst. Then John Kenneth Galbraith, James MacGregor Burns, and Mayor Richard C. Lee appeared before a nearly full-house audience at Woolsey Hall to utter platitudes about Kennedy. The high point of a rather dull evening came when

Some political buffs, unaware of what they were letting themselves in for, started watching the returns at 7:30 P.M., vowed to watch until a candidate conceded. Some people were discovered asleep in front of the tv sets before breakfast the next morning, a good five hours before Nixon gave up. The election was a horse race, if a tedious one, all the way. Early in the evening Kennedy won the East fincluding New York statej, gradually took the South, and kept a small lead in popular votes, but the key states - outside of New York - see-sawed all night long. California and Iillinois were not tentatively decided until the next morning, and by then both candidates had gone to bed. The trend, however, had been es- tablished by midnight, and major papers, the wire services, and the networks, computers had given the race to Kennedy. Nixon finally sent congratulations to the winner shortly before one the next afternoon. Yale's first big gift of the year came from Smith, Kline, and French's f the drug producersj Mahlon Kline, who donated ten million dollars to build three new science buildings. The Giving Fund was in full swing. Meanwhile, the election was forgotten in the mounting excitement over the Princeton game. The holiday rolled around on Friday, with a dual concert by the Yale and Princeton glee clubs. Fenno Heath led the Yale group through high point of the even- ing with his arrangement of John Donneis Death Be Not Proud. '918' pitted up the mile! paper.
