Another Latin contest

Cave, Latin skolars;* time for another contest. Quid est pabulum:

Guare attended Georgetown University and Yale University. His education clearly paid off because in 1968 he won an Obie (Off-Broadway Theater) award for his one-act play Muzeeka.

What's going on in this paragraph that we'd rather not have going on in our pages?

*For bonus points: Name the 20th-century work of British fiction in which "Hogwarts" first appears.
