...read and think about the issues mentioned by Mr. Rorer--not laugh at them. The CRIMSON would better have met its responsibility by discussing some of these issues rather than wasting space elsewhere in the issue with that ridiculous disclaimer (we all know where you stand) and the space-filler about the four flavors of serving ladies. Clark R. Chapman...
...Franklin (64-0), Loyola of Chicago (80-0) and St. Viator (116-7). In 1913, casting around for games. Coach Jesse Harper hooked a whopper Old Rivals Harvard and Yale had dropped off Army's schedule because the Cadets refused to sell tickets to their games.

Mrs. Caldwell's drawings are of high school yearbook caliber, and Caldwell's interviewees are a strangely faceless lot, given to some of the most doubtful quotes outside the fine print of a New Yorker filler. A folksy old lady called Aunt Martha, of Riverhead, Long Island, moans over "this creeping menace of real estate, these acres and acres of housing colonies, shopping centers, garish neon lights blazing all night long, and every other kind of desecration of beautiful Long Island."
