Today, there are three main opinions on the food situation. The administration attitude is that the food is the best possible for the price paid, and that this best is good enough. Every student pays 58 cents a meal for 21 meals a week, and the average cost to the University of each meal served is 75 cents. The dining halls rely heavily on the fact that many do not eat every meal. Present complaints, according to the administration, are nothing more than the usual gripes...
...best individual matches of the afternoon appear to be the 145 and 155-pound contests. Smith's opponent at 145 will have a decisive height advantage and is heavy through the shoulders, but he comes up against a man who knows a great deal about wrestling. If Carter can stay with John Hansen, another New England freshman champion, the 136-pound fight should be an interesting...

Both Reginald Bunthrone and Archibaid Grosvenor, the Fleshy and the Idyllic Poets, played by Bradley M. Walls and Richard M. Murphy fitted about the stage with true aestheticism. Walls' face was a delight to behold as it changed to meet the mood. But credit for the best single performance from a list of many excellent ones must go to Elizabeth Spencer, who was suitably padded with pillows to play Lady Jane. Her aria in the beginning of the second act-done with a bass fiddle-brought down the house...
