...John L. Lewis, so is Browder. Each and every one of them has on occasion clawed and bitten and beat the stairs, yelling foul, when thoughtless "liberals" have sought to divide up their powers, perquisites and glories. If there is any meaning left in the word "liberal," 1938 style, it signifies someone who is eager to divide and disperse something belonging to someone else, but just as conservative as the next man when his own store of hard metal, political pelf or public glory is invaded...
...Main reason: the Southern Pacific's auto ferries shuttle cars across the Gate at 30? per trip. The bridge toll is 50?. Last year the ferries made more than $50,000.

...Professor Post whose widely cultured background includes a Professorship here in Fine Arts. This course also suffers from Einarson's definitely poor teaching. The Elementary Composition course, Greek 3, described as "tough but rewarding", assists the student both to a knowledge of the language and an appreciation of Greek style. Either this or Latin 3 is required for honors. Plate and Aristotle and a survey of Greek Philosophy from Thales to Aristotle are handled in Greek 8. In spite of the statement in the University's Course Register, little attention is paid to the subject matter of the authors read...
