...Pundit Frank Kent wrote in The Great Game Of Politics: "He is the bone and sinew of the machine. He is its foundation and the real source of its strength. If he does not function, the machine decays. If he quits, the machine dies. He is the actual connecting link between the people and the organization, and he is the only connecting link-the only man in the machine who has any point of direct contact with the voters, who knows anything about them, who has any real influence with them...

...ferment of Labor activity which, with the President fishing and Congress loafing, continued to make most national news, reached a pipsqueak peak last week in Manhattan when, in effect, Betty Boop and Popeye the Sailor went on strike.

Freshmen, who have that famous "transition from school to college" to make, may be expected to be the chief beneficiaries. It would be a grave mistake for them, however, to regard this new man as an actual substitute for the more or less theoretical Freshman Adviser, and to pester him with all sorts of questions about courses of instruction. A great new servant, one hopes, is about to be acquired, but the old deficiency, the lack of genuine scholastic counsellors for the new men, still stands, and must...
