...Rosie" and O'Connor have been nursing leg injuries for the past week, Pratt hasn't showed up yet, and Gurley, Captain-elect of the track team, is definitely out for the current cross country season because of a heavy academic schedule. Additional time trials will be held next week, but according to Jaakko, the ten or twelve top men in the Handicap race today will be the ones who will face Holy Cross and M.I.T. a week from tomorrow...

They then told me that they would let me know what the Republicans were paying for votes that year, and that if we would add a small amount to the price, we could probably elect the Democrat. A few days before the election they . . . told me that the Republican buying-price was a dollar and a half a vote, and that if we could raise the ante to a dollar seventy-five we would be successful. It is hard to admit that I was as gullible...
