...analysts of the recent CRIMSON presidential poll. Mr. Nolder's letter states something which many would like to believe; namely, that the average American undergraduate does know and care something about politics.

Her body (the first article is on The Republican Case, the second is A Preface to Socialism) is unshapely. Her hands at least are lovely (there is some good poetry in the issue). But as a whole Mother Advocate today resembles some mythical monster whose limbs lack all harmony...
