...would like to take time not to be apathetic. I shall put my views on final clubs and SWAT on the record. First, I do not think final clubs are a healthy institution, but I don't believe they should be abolished or forced to admit women. A private institution, in my view, has the right to control its membership. If a club decides not to admit women, it's no better than a club deciding not to admit Jews.

I believe all-male final clubs are the unhealthy symptom of society's sexism. That is my opinion on the issue. I hope I have proved myself not apathetic. I just happen to disagree. Louis M. Green...
Secondary: It's a shot to centerfield. Charters is going back, back, back. He's up against the wall. Interception. Free safety Tom Charters, the centerfielder on Penn's baseball team, leads the club in interceptions with five. He can hit the curveball...
