Almost every piece in the Fall issue lacks a sense of life or relevancy which only vivid language can convey--strong verbs and taut imagery are prominently absent. The Advocate too often wallows in flat prose and free poetry, modes that were once, long ago, refreshing but are now, in less expert hands, stale and tired.

The man entered using a passkey and students who were in their suites at the time commented that the fellow seemed ill at ease and either waved his hand idly over the radiator or picked up the telephone and replaced it and left as soon as he could...
