While the club was in Bermuda last spring, seven team members were blamed for about $2,000 in damage done to the two houses in which they stayed. In view of this ungentlemanly conduct, the Faculty committee has labeled the club unfit to represent the University.

Varela calls himself agrarian reformer and has even got himself elected to Colombia's Congress on the votes of poverty-ridden peasants (3,741 Colombians died of starvation and malnutrition in 1958; 1,300,000 are landless today). But Varela's real job is keeping Communism's flag...
