Brown 1967
Brown at Princeton
November 4th, 1967
Princeton wins 48-14
Ladies and gentlemen, the Princeton University Band surveys the contemporary political scene. We look first at former Presidential hopeful George Romney, and his recent charge that he was brain-washed on his trip to South Vietnam. Forming a foot-in-a-mouth, the Band wonders if perhaps Mr. Romney’s accusation suggests a new weapon in his politcal warfare.
“Mr. Clean” (Band forms a blob)
We turn our attention to California’s refugee from Hollywood, Mrs. Shirley Temple Black, and we see Mrs. Black skipping hand-in-hand down Pennsylvania Avenue with Governor Ronald Reagan and Senator George Murphy. Forming the sum of their qualifications for office, we ask them where they are bound, to which they reply, “We’re Off to See the Wizard.”
“We’re Off to See the Wizard” (Band forms circle)
Turning to the international political scene, we note Secretary of State Dean Rusk’s recent statement that there are a billion Chinese armed with nuclear weapons are ready to swoop down on an unsuspecting world. Forming a yellow peril on the field, we ask Mr. Rusk what the worst possible effect of a Chinese conquest would be, to which he replies…”Yellow Bird.”
“Yellow Bird” (Band forms blob)
We turn to Time magazine’s recent statement that the Republicans could surely win in 1968 if they didn’t have to nominate a candidate, and note that this stipulation has never hindered Republicans in the past. The Band forms an unnatural union, and asks which of the following it most closely resembles:
a) Nixon-Stassen,
b) Bill Miller-Rockefeller,
c) Gavin-Goheen,
d) Westmoreland-Goldwater.
“Do You Believe in Magic” (Band forms a combined male-female symbol)
We salute one of the brightest lights in the Democratic party, the junior senator from N.Y. We note that, although RFK is rarely on the losing side, he also seems to know when not to take a stand. Forming his political philosophy, we ask Mr. Kennedy how he manages to avoid commenting on such controversial issues as birth control, to which he replies…
“I’ve Got Rhythm” (Band forms 72)
Finally we wish to pay tribute to one of the real dark horses in next year’s Presidential campaign, a man whose valuable though nearly anonymous ??? for government makes him a powerful force with which to contend, Hubert Humphrey. Forming a long shot we ask him for an evaluation of his own political future, to which he replies, “Second Hand Rose.”
