OCTOBER
President Pusey "accepts with regret" the resignation of Dean Monro, who has been named the new president of Southwest State Teachers College. Announcing that he will become acting Dean of the College, Mr. Pusey comments, "I'd like to find out what's really happening in the College." As a Hallowe'en boax, the Lampoon distributes a parody of the Harvard Lampoon, which is, however, instantly spotted as a fake because, as one student says, "it was funny."
NOVEMBER
Johnson and Wallace sweep to victory at the polls. Margaret Chase Smith, in tears, promises to carry on the fight for the women of America. Goldwater says simply. "I am convinced the youth of America want me."
On a warm Thursday night, thousands of Harvard men turn out for an Architecture Riot to protest the design of the tenth House. The vibrations of so many people running through the streets cause the giant steel framework of the Sert pyramid to topple into the Charles.
DECEMBER
Charles de Gaulle is said to be "irked" by attempts of President Johnson to lure Pope Paul VI and the Holy See to Johnson City, Texas. Johnson refuses to comment but announces an executive order directing the Bell Telephone Company to drop ZIP codes "because I can't remember them." Richard Nixon calls a press conference to disclose the report of his advisory staff. Its conclusion, he says, is that "I should not become a candidate for public office."
President Pusey, inspired by his experience as acting Dean of the College, says he is writing a book of "advice to undergraduates in this troubled age." The Harvard University Press declines comment.
