Tocsin has two purposes, said Peter Goldmark '62, a member: to get its ideas talked about, and to influence government. As an example of the latter, Goldmark told the audience that he and Robert Weil '61, Tocsin president, had been invited to confer with top officials in the Disarmament Section of the State Department. Also, during the meeting, Goldmark publicly phoned Congressman Miller of California...
...opening Sonata, that of Opus 109, Mr. Fischer first demonstrated his strengths and weaknesses.

...beer cans. Only unregenerate wildlife cranks doubt that progress is served in the interests of flood control, irrigation, electrification and the outboard motor industry. Author John Graves is no crank, and from the evidence of his book, he is something of a fatalist. When he heard that a section of the Brazos River valley in the west Texas scrub country, where he grew up, was soon to be drowned by five dams, Graves did not tilt at turbines but said farewell...
