Nevertheless, before the suggested remodeling can be effected, funds must be acquired to finance the project and space must be found to store the books now located in the Bibliographical Reference Room. There is no reason why the University's unrestricted funds could not be used for this purpose, since the sum required would be less than three per cent of the money already provided to make up the annual Library deficit. The question of space is a more serious problem, but the ultimate solution lies in the re-allocation of shelves in the General Reading Room and the removal...
...part. While labor has demonstrated its democratic faith, the government through its decree laws, which promoted the strike, stooped dangerously close to dictatorship. Blum is justified in calling a "shadow parliament" and in rebuking Daladier for refusing to convoke the French Parliament. Putting these laws into effect without consulting the people's representatives violated the spirit of democracy. Such uncalled-for methods will no more serve to produce the unity which that country so badly needs than constant rebellion against the forces of rule.

The number of the scholarships appears to be sensible; it approves assistance without basing assistance on an impractical and overemotional scheme; it condemns the Nazis with caution. Moreover, it points the course for other colleges in this country to pursue. For a widespread assertion of our faith...
...want to involve any of the other members. We believe that the movies are fine amusement, without that possibility of feminine involvement which has such a detrimental effect on college men, who go from one affair to another. We're not interested in the equal-rights-for-women question. And furthermore, I haven't any ideas on two-piece bathing suits." After denying that he had ever seen Deanna Durbin, Hearn hung...
