Yesterday morning the CRIMSON took its stand against abolition of winter sports and stated the reasons that have been repeated so often throughout the long one-sided discussion. The unfair discrimination that would follow the passing of this pending vote is further dealt with in communications this morning, and it is useless to dwell longer on that phase of the question...

The very fact that we are given a choice among attractions makes us independent and we do not make unusual preparations for arriving early.
