Taxes, "In relation to tax changes, three things should be kept in mind. First, the total sum to be derived by the Federal Treasury must not be decreased. . . . Second, abuses by individuals or corporations designed to escape tax-paying by using various methods of doing business, corporate and otherwise-abuses which we have sought, with great success, to end- must not be restored. Third, we should rightly change certain provisions where they are proven to work definite hardship, especially on the small businessmen of the nation...
Last week, Mr. Biggers' figures were complete enough to be presented to the President. Total number of people who had voluntarily returned questionnaires listing themselves as unemployed and willing to work was 7,822,912. Door-to-door census covering 1,950,000 persons indicated, however, that this was only about 72% of the people who, when ferreted out and interviewed, classed themselves as unemployed.

Mr. Biggers proposed that his census be further checked...
Which brings us to the subject of the dive, and Rusty Greenhood. The latter has chalked up a nice 113.4 early-season point total in the Alumni meet. He probably won't be touched in competition this year; that is, if the judges can figure out some of the fancy curleycues he's been doing off the high board. Lothrop Forbush will be right behind him, and George Dana, sophomore diver, is expected to turn out to be a star. Bob Snyder looked pretty well in the Alumni meet...
...chapel or at the stadium, which are deemed of too honorary a nature for a paid hand, could be performed by members of the Student Council or of the House Committees. The number needed for the position is certainly small, and by no stretch of credulity does it total 47 good men and true selected by a more or less random rippling of the pages of a three year old Red Book...
