...first official act was to void the appointment of 21 state officers installed by Hummon. Then he began looking over the laws, including the white-primary bill, which Hummon had got the legislature to pass. When it was rumored that M. E. might veto the white-primary bill, the word got to the legislature. At week's end, the legislators quietly adjourned the session without passing the 3% sales-tax bill that would pay for M. E.'s road, hospital, education and old-age benefit program. A new legislature would not convene until after the general election...
...precipitous time. On its sheer rock walls, as the eye of the spectator adjusts itself to the somber light of human history, are seen the bodies of climbers. Some, prone and inert, lie on the ledges to which they have hurtled to death. Some dangle, arrested, over the void as they cling by their fingernails to cliffs too steep for their exhausted strength to scale.

Such a catholicity of interest, while probably not realizable within the confines of a monthly twenty-page publication, at least demonstrates that...
...Lampoon have offered to help the magazine to its feet once again in any way possible, and at least one group in the University deferred indefinitely a projected magazine of its own when the news was announced that the Advocate was to be resumed "shortly." Still the exasperating void remains--in the face of the most favorable possible situation in both the advertising and circulation fields...
