Last night the aboriginal inhabitants of Cambridge and the nerveless Freshmen of Wigglesworth Hall had the somewhat dubious pleasure of hearing a highly vocal NRA demonstration. From the standpoint of noise produced it was a roaring--not to say deafening--success, and the inclusion of the bands.
That there is any justification to such a display of vulgarity or that I will in nay way bolster the NRA I difficult indeed to see.
