Doubtless the objection is valid, but it has been used so often that it is becoming a means of preventing further controversy, rather than of a convincing argument. It is difficult to understand why, if there is a large number of Freshman who would use the Union between eighty-thirty and nine, they should not be entitled to as much consideration as upperclassmen.
