John Crempa was no longer the underdog last week. For eight years the gaunt Polish tailor had fought the law and P. S. C. singlehanded because, hating the huge utilities company, he had demanded that P. S. C. pay $150,000 for the privilege of stringing its wires over one corner of his tiny truck farm at Scotch Plains. Refusing a State condemnation commission's award of $800, he had served six months in jail for malicious mischief, defied an injunction ordering him to cease tampering with the wires, resisted repeated attempts to serve him with a warrant...

Men would no longer leave the Houses to live in quarters which, repugnant in themselves, are employed only because they assure congenial living companions...
Under the management of Walter H. Page, '37, the football managerial competitions will no longer, as in the past, draw all the candidate's efforts away from scholastic pursuits. Freshman managers, starting a five-hour-a-day competition at the end of September and lasting until the second week of November, very often found that they had failed to make the hurdle of the dreaded hour examinations. Every year there were Freshman who had gone on probation at midyears as a result of getting behind in their studies during the football competition. As President Lowell used...
