Bacall's Coming Nothing but Myth

Lauren Bacall is not coming to Harvard. It was all a myth. A misty myth, made partly of foggy planning. Bad weather prevented Miss Bacall's first coming, but still there was Hope. Engagements at home prevented her second coming, and "difficulties" prevented her third, a Hasty Pudding spokesman said last night.

Thus it is that for the first time in history, the Pudding's Woman of the Year will not come to Cambridge for her award. But all is not lost. There's still the Pudding's show in New York. Maybe they'll catch Miss Bacall there.

It really didn't matter, Paul J. Zofnass '69, assistant publicity director of the Pudding said last night. "It's essentially a publicity gimmick and we're all sold out anyway."

But some of the fans cared. One Cliffie said, "It's just shoddy. Harvard's bastion of tradition is breaking its best tradition." Another student didn't seem to care. "Lauren who?" he said.
