...correct or turned with much style, is supposed to be uncommonly frank. Witness the current explosion of four-letter words and the explicit discussion of sexual topics. In fact, gobbledygook and nice-Nellyism still extend as far as the ear can hear. Housewives on television may chat about their sex lives in terms that a decade ago would have made gynecologists blush; more often than not, these emancipated women still speak about their children's "going to the potty." Government spokesmen talk about "redeployment" of American troops; they mean withdrawal. When sociologists refer to blacks living in slums, they...
Liquor, drugs, and sex are by far the most exciting problems the freshman faces, although usually not the most serious. The Dean's Office itself points out that University interference in the individual's private life is considered a serious violation of the unofficial "Bill of Student Rights...
Liquor and sex are left up to the individual as long as the student adheres to a few very general rules. Parties must be kept at a reasonable level so that Cambridge police don't need to be called, and practical regulations (rules governing the hours girls are allowed into Harvard rooms) must be upheld.

Perhaps a little too thin, some cultivate a mysterious, ethical, or merely composed look. They are most conscious of their sex and often the most beautiful of the girls. They decorate their rooms with taste, and generally have more concern for art and individuality than do their fellow students. And a search for self-expression, for eternal, almost mythic verities, is implied in the adjectives they use to compliment another girl...
...then we tend to blame Harvard too much for our difficulties. For honesty's sake, a few other rituals that are hardly of Harvard's doing must be mentioned. Around New England, sex is, as they say, pursued with a passion. Every weekend, Dartmouth boys, rubbers firmly in hand, hitch out of Hanover, while Yalies go off to visit their pill-swilling neighbors. Meanwhile, Wellesley girls, in tweed skirts and cloth coats, arrive in Harvard Square by the busload. Only Harvard men manage to sit relatively still. Of course, freshmen do tend to panic. For them, Radcliffe...
