Manners & Morals at Oxford
Whatever else can be said about England's Oxford University, it does confer on its men an icy calm in the face of undue provocation. Items: >Oxford's Track Star Adrian Metcalfe. 19, was dumfounded at a suggestion that he join Arizona State College's track team. "I have written," said 1961's fastest 400-meter runner (45.7 sec.), "that I am at a university which was founded when their ancestors were in the trees. I have no idea what they might suggest I should study. It's probably handwriting." >Oxford's student magazine Isis was appalled when St. Hilda's College expelled a girl undergraduate found in bed with a man. "In or out of Oxford, girls will be girls," said Isis, and "no amount of petty restrictions" can possibly "deter any girl who wants to notch a string of seductions on her garter."
