...first group before the second ever arrives. It is very probably this skimming off of much of Boston's dance money that is the cause for the incredibly small audiences seen in the Opera House since Monday.

Almost unanimously, the present hit-or-miss method of Council contact with the student body at large was condemned as being inadequate, while the "grievance committee" idea received nearly as large an affirmative vote. If the Council has not previously considered this tenuousness of contact as a major problem, it would probably do well to reflect on the absolute weight of the majority...
