...bales in loan stocks the Government had lent farmers an average 8.3? a pound. Since cotton was last week selling at about the current loan rate of 8.3?, it was obvious that the loan was pegging the price. It was also clear the farmers could not get their cotton out of hock. Let the Government make them a nominal payment of $1.25 a bale (about ¼? a pound) and take clear title...
...conclusion. I can only say that I am sorry that the Crimson took it upon itself to print such an obvious diatribe. The new show has its faults but few of them--I might almost say none of them--are the fault of its director. No, the "ungrateful criticism" is by no means a reflection on anyone but the reviewer.

To pay for such orchestras it is necessary in the first place to raise the price of admission beyond the reach of many members of the House. This is a patent injustice and ample reason in itself for abolishing such dances. Secondly and consequently, it is necessary to initiate an expensive advertising campaign and lure in outsiders, usually Freshmen or members of other Houses, but too often out and out ringers. Thirdly, the House dining-halls (with a single possible exception...
