According to a census conducted last night in one of the House Dining Halls, the average upperclassman has $.22. Forty men were interviewed during the dining hours. One man confessed that he had two dollars but didn't remember where he got it. Four happily owned to being penniless. Three were able to amass two cents after delving among keys and cigarettes. Despite the poverty there was general optimism. In the Union, however, there was great wealth. Five men produced more than five dollars, one revealed a twenty dollar bill saying that it was available at 20 per cent interest...
...spend your evenings at home? Not if you're an Upperclassman and live in one of the Houses; on the other hand if you're a Freshman you probably study more than you go out. Last night the CRIMSON's Walter Winchell poked his nose through the keyholes of Danster, Lowell, and Leverett Houses, together with half the Halls in the Yard. He found that: 46 per cent of the natives of the Dunster go out on more than half the evenings in the week, 43.8 per cent of those in Lowell, 47.6 per cent of the members of Leverett...
...number of meals per week which each Freshman will be allowed need not be as great as is allowed each upperclassman who takes 21 meals. As a tentative opening, each man might be allowed one meal a week in any House he chose. Authorities, moreover, have small reason to fear a demand for a reciprocal agreement, allowing upperclassmen to eat in the Union. In short, a move allowing Freshmen limited inter-House dining privileges would be well advised; it could scarcely lead to the abuses which its opponents fear...
...bang and lights flash on all over barracks. The plebes (first year men) have started to dream. Gradually more lights wink on over the snow covered area until at three minutes of six every light in barracks is on. It requires a piehe ten minutes to dress, while an upperclassman can do it in two minutes...
Nevertheless, the inability of the upperclassman to eat, and pay for his own meal, in another House than his own will be as inconvenient during the coming year as it has been in the past. The argument that relaxing the ban would cause a severe strain on the dining rooms of some of the House to the neglect of others is beside the point, since, as the CRIMSON pointed out last year, it would be quite possible to limit the number of meals which a guest could sign for. The increase in the cost of bookkeeping would be so slight...
