Like a spring being sprung, like a reverberating baseball bat, the Harvard Anti-Physics Society today sprang into existence with a manifesto which mysteriously appeared in the mail boxes of Physics 13 students. Its very come-on was a physics problem: "Was this week's hour exam the last straw?"

The Society is open to all former disgruntled, embittered, and exhausted physics majors who have changed fields. "The Society is divided into several grades of membership, based on the purity and merit of their (sic) new major," according to the manifesto.

"All agree that the real elite of the organization are those who now major in Social Relations. Humanities and Social Science majors are also looked upon with favor. Math majors are suspect as possible subversives, but may prove their loyalty by hissing loudly every time a math professor utters the word 'physics.'"

The activities of the Society consist of missionary work among freshmen and enlightened sniping at diehards. "Members also engage in sports, drama, PBH, dating, and other non-physicist pursuits."

Concluding with, "Don't let your school work interfere with your education," the manifesto offers for further information the telephone number of the M.I.T. switchboard.
