...student to engage in athletics, whether during term time or vacation, as the representative of an organization not connected with the university, under such conditions not at variance with the spirit of the rule as it may approve. It may also decide cases involving unintentional, technical or trivial violations of the foregoing rules, which are intended to prevent discrimination either for or against a student because he is an athlete...
...communication column of the CRIMSON is designed to afford a free discussion of any not too trivial question. Serious articles on either side of a question are always welcome. When two or more articles take up an identical phase of a problem in a similar manner, however, the CRIMSON feels justified in only printing the best one of them.

The latter attitude is not only fallacious but dangerous, because it is a negative attack upon representative government as a whole, of which college politics are a fair sample. The habit, therefore, of taking an interest and feeling a responsibility in the choosing of the men who represent you in one activity or another cannot be cultivated too soon; and at least one good will be accomplished...
