Students in the College's School of Business and Civic Administration have no great love for its dictatorial dean, Dr. Justin H. Moore. In 1934 he suppressed an April Fool issue of The Ticker, student weekly, for "obscenity." He once censored the Monthly, has suspended editors for sauciness.

Last week Wall Street traders seemingly fought to see which could get the highest batting average before the holiday. As brokers raced from post to post, the ticker day after day fell behind.
