Most undergraduates are employed in nearby Cleveland and Dayton, in department stores, landing fields, newspapers, advertising agencies, factories...

Besides, the caging not only protects the Athletic Association but also must to some degree appease that adolescent craving for publicity. What more equitable justice is there than that which satisfies not only the prosecutor, but also the punished...
