...entertainment Committee of the Senior class has decided to have a Schandegaff Night next Monday at 9 o'clock in the Dining Room of the Union.

There is room for greater promptness and better form in the reporting of regular news. There are neglected fields for legitimate and useful journalistic enterprise. And above all there is room for a more vigorous editorial policy, in short for more of initiative and leadership...
