...yesterday's editorial it was suggested that the H. A. A. lacked undergraduate support, that if it wished its coffers full again, it must take action. There have been a number of attempts to capture student interest, not one of which can be described as a dazzling success. There is, for instance, a Minor Sports Council, comprised of minor sports captains and managers. It met once this year, once last year, and failed to meet the year before.
