The CRIMSON further allows that "by avoiding musical comedy or the re-hashing of box-office successes, the Dramatic Club escapes the stigma" of producing "amateur theatricals;" at the same time, however, the editorial ventures that a "Liliom" would not be amiss.

"The repudiation was and is unconstitutional from the Federal and State viewpoints and the matter can never be finally closed while the bonds remain unredeemed. In the case of the State the stigma of repudiation is perpetuated during the existence of the dishonored issue which bears the seal of its sovereignty.
