...Forums already serve the purpose proposed for the Union. House Forums are admirable both in intention and results, yet they have limitations hinted at by their very name. They are House Forums and not centers of debate embracing the college as a whole. Audiences at such meetings draw their bulk from the particular House which happens to be playing host at the time, and only a few habitual lecture-goers represent the remainder of the college. Furthermore the functions of the House Forums differ from those of a political union in that the former provide a speaking opportunity for members...
...bulk of last year's team will be back, nevertheless the crack kicking of Dave Caldwell and the drive of Sheldon Diets will be lacking, and the loss is a vital one. Another cause for worry is the fact that the ruggers have had only two practices outside of the Cage this spring. That means that the team will have lacked sufficient training in open field kicking.

The yield on long-term Government bonds dropped from 3.68% in 1932 to 2.21%, on short-term Treasury notes from 2.77% to 0.5%.

It receives most of its Nazi-needled news by short-wave radio. Some is relayed to the German-language press in the U. S. Bulk of Transocean news is consumed by Latin America, where many a small paper depends on it almost entirely for its foreign news (Mexico's foreign news is 25% to 30% Transocean). Reason: Transocean "news service" goes on just as regularly when papers do not pay for it as when they do. Transocean output...
