...advocate is pleased by the attempt to compromise on a "three-quarters good" orchestra. Were a single Junior prom, similar to the Jubilee, to be held, the ever-recurring demand for a big name would be satisfied; and at the same time there would no longer be any legitimate protest against the simple, "atmospheric," restricted dance. Jitterbugs would have their big time, the girl from Cleveland or Atlanta could be imported, and Harvard would yearly have a taste of the elite of swingdom...
...wish to protest against a distortion of fact in Monday's Crimson concerning the athletic secretary for dormitory men. While the Student Council committee was indispensable in obtaining this program, the bulk of the work was nevertheless done by a committee of the Student Union, consisting of the following residents of Claverly Hall: Kwyn Abrahams '41, John Finn '41, and Paul Woodman '41.

WPAdministrator "Pink" Harrington went up to the Capitol to testify in detail about his needs, armed with State-by-State figures on the impending layoffs. These maneuvers worried many a Congressman. On others they had an opposite effect. Apostles of Economy were goaded into balkiness. The first skirmish...
...light of this, it would seem that Yardlings have in the past been driven to the polls against their wills. Just as the Communists would force the workers to be free, the Student Council has forced the Freshmen to be "democratic", and has met all protest with investigations which followed the same lines and reports which repeated the same formulate. Year upon year the Freshmen have indifferently exercised their democratic prerogatives, realizing all along that the forms were a farce...
