...petition for voluntary prayers, now before the college, those interested in the movement have decided to make an important change. There are many who would be glad to sign this petition, but who hesitate on account of what they call "revolutionary language," and the pledge "to concerted action." To succeed we must have everybody's signature; therefore the objectionable preamble has been torn off, and the petition stands alone, as presented in the CRIMSON for Nov. 21st...
...rusher was told to back up' some other individual rusher, and if he was not there, he was 'cussed.'" Now I do not advocate the "cussing" part, but it seems to me, that much of the recklessness, and uncertainty in play could be done away with provided some such action as this should be taken.

But this sudden awakening of the Committee, just before the great game of the year, seemed uncalled for, if not absurd...
...reduction in the number of forensics has been signed by a very large number of seniors and juniors and will be handed at once to the gentleman who has charge of the forensic department. We would like to point out to him the advantage of an early action upon the petition. In just a week from today the first forensic will be due and we think the total number of forensics for the year should be definitely decided upon before that date. Many men would modify their choice of their first subject if they were sure that only three...
