...H.A.A. won't give itself a chance to be nice. The Bolyston St. boys announce on the cover of the booklet that they will never, never replace it is "lost, stolen, or mislaid." While both Frank O. Lunden and Thomas D. Bolles concede that they would like to replace lost books, they say they don't know how. They ask advice and seem predisposed to listen to the Undergraduate Athletic Council, which meets for the first time next Monday...
While on the subject of exams, a new gripe might just as well be added. Proctors put the time a student finishes his exam on the cover of those blue books which are handed in early. The rationale is that this gives the instructor an idea as to how difficult his exam was. In reality, the time listings serve to prejudice the grader against the student who finishes early.

Boats leave conspicuous wakes by mixing warm surface water with colder water from below...

Thus Columbia Records several weeks ago launched a new pianist-singer team on an album entitled The Piano Artistry of Jonathan Edwards, currently the liveliest sleeper on the market. In the album's cover picture, two right hands linger over the keyboard, but the unwary buyer who fails to catch this subtle warning is in for an ear-jolting shock...
