...demand for seats at the Yale game has been so great that there are now no $2.00 seats left on the sides of the field, the applications from old players, coaches and members of the 'Varsity team, and the applications from season ticket holders having used up all except those reserved for Yale.

The people from Southeastern Europe have not benefitted the country. They have overstocked the unskilled labor market and lowered the standard of living, especially in the mining regions where English-speaking miners have been forced into destitution and misery. The affirmative does not present a capitation or an educational test alone, but an alternative one which will allow skilled laborers to enter. This will satisfy the economic need...
