...Communists, John Lewis is no more than a slick labor politician. But Miner Lewis has worked in Illinois coal pits, has his own ideas about the Labor Front. Disgusted was he, therefore, when the executive council, controlled by Green & Co., gobbled at the bait offered by the American Legion, proposed to alter A.

He disposed of the coal crisis quickly: "On Oct. 8 the unencumbered balances of the University amounted to $1,023,172.26. Why are they unwilling to transfer some of this surplus to necessary items of maintenance?" Warming up, he continued: "As far as the football season is concerned, we are all extremely interested in its success. We recognize the fact that football has become the supreme purpose of higher education. We have...
