...existence in an attractive but expensive goldfish bowl. Decorated in the stately manner, the Oval Room offers good Marshard music for a large dance floor and what is usually the best revue in town. While the food is fair, the prices, particularly the $1.50 cover and $2.00 minimum on weekends, do not rest lightly on undergraduate stomachs. Most noticeable of all is the impression inevitably generated by the atmosphere that to tell a funny story, hold a fork incorrectly, or worst of all, hold hands under the table, would be distinctly out of place in this sanctum of respectability...
Turning next to the Camellia Room of the Lafayette, we find Friday and Saturday evening dancing on a good sized floor well-stocked with university aged people. A small Marshard unit is the reward for the $2.00 minimum, and as the room grows increasingly darker, the music, through sheer coincidence, becomes increasingly slower.

Monroe Fields "to spend the rest of his natural life at hard labor," the minimum sentence possible under Kentucky's armed robbery...
...Republicans and Democrats in great detail. Taft defined the Republican Party as the party which can handle foreign affairs with realism, reduce Government controls, lower taxes, encourage business enterprise, keep labor happy, but in check, and administer the nation's affairs with a sense of sureness and a minimum of confusion. Taft defined the Democratic Party as the party which, because of its alliance with labor and leftist groups, never knows precisely where it is going, is thus given to fits & starts in foreign affairs, to bumbling at home, to the encouragement of inflation, to the suppression of initiative...
