R'n'R Response Feeble

Returns from Monday's CRIMSON rock 'n' roll quiz reveal the pressing urgency of a course in this important subject. Harvard has always been considered a barren field for this corn, but each succeeding year that it is allowed to lie fallow the prospects of a respectable harvest will diminish. At one time and in proper places almost all the songs referred to in the quiz were commonly played, and often prayed to. But with the trend toward younger generations, a whole culture may soon be lost.

Partial credit goes to Leverett House's hard-rock corps of Harold Pulling, Chris Mortenson, John Beaulieu, and Ric Multhaup, who earned a "good" rating with 53 of 75 right. But the overall showing boded ill for the future and neglect of the past.
