...flat removal of all charity choices beyond "political" influence is an unwise move. The Combined Charities Drive is a Harvard charities appeal and students should have the opportunity to advocate that legitimate charities of special interest be included. The new Student Council organization provides channels for this sort of request through the House representatives. Until either the new Council or the present system proves incompetent there are sound reasons for retaining them...

At the level required, the subject matter is necessarily restricted to archaic absurdities that can no longer inspire the young mind, if they ever could: "The sailors sacrifice the bull on the altar of the immortal gods!"

As Martin said Tuesday, "You don't give the other fellow a crack on the jaw... when he has more votes." Halleck was elected as the jaw-cracking type...
