Pound's Death Began Summer on Somber Note; Bickford Arrests, NASA Decision Highlight Events

Vorenberg Gets Justice Post

Vorenberg will head the office on a part-time basis so that he can continue to teach here. The inequalities of the bail system, the parole system, and rehabilitation procedures will probably be among the first issues considered.

At the Summer School itself, little out of the ordinary occurred. Despite the new ruling permitting Summer School students to form their own political clubs, only two organizations were formally organized. Only the Civil Rights Coordinating Committee and a chapter of the Students for Democratic Action were formed by summer students.

Walter H. Clark, dean of Men at the Summer School, said the Summer School Committee on Student Organizations had not vetoed the aplication of any political club. He admitted the Committee had refused to recognize two or three clubs with "primarily entrepreneurial aims" because "what the clubs wanted to do would not have been of use to the Summmer School."

The Loeb Drama Center concluded its Shakespeare Centennial with three productions by the Summer School Players. Love's Labour's Lost, The Winter's Tale, and Richard II were all performed in their entirety on the main stage.

The Summer School fell victim this summer to a popular hoax: the non-existent student. A group of Harvard graduate students, several holding junior positions on the Summer School administration, created a Princeton junior, Barton Durstine Osborne, and engineered his admission to the Summer School.

Osborne remained in School for only four weeks, however, and didn't even stay long enough to take his hour exams since the pranksters were unwilling to pay the tuition for their charge. As bills began to arrive at Osborne's Cambridge address in increasing numbers, his creators became uneasy and finally turned themselves in to Summer School authorities.

Leonard Holmberg, registrar of the Summer School said, "They wanted to see if they could beat out system, but they found out they couldn't." No disciplinary action was taken against any of those involved.

Brandeis announced on July 14 that it was abolishing all parietal hours. The directive announcing the decision came from the dean of students and gave so reason for the move. It is apparently the result of several scandals which rocked the Waltham campus last semester. At the same time, however, the school announced it would permit more students to live off campus.

The City of Cambridge had one of its most enjoyable summers in a long while. Its Water Department workmen ripped up nearly every street and sidewalk in the Harvard Square area during a pipe cleaning operation. Cambridge water mains are over 100 years old, and William H. McGuinness, superintendent of the Cambridge Water Department, hopes the present cleaning and relining operation will make them good for another hundred years
