BUT IN THE MEANTIME
It’s the same subject, handled in
the same old, way, but we have a
feeling that it, will fit in now as
well as it has on former occasions.
We are wondering what has hap-
pened to the underclass rivalry,
‘True itis that the spirit. of rivalry
fhas been kept alive in various ways
this year. Iirst there were several
hazing episodes, Then there was
basketball, and lastly, there were
class days and class debates. But
just at present there seems to be a
lull, [t may be that it is the quiet
that precedes a storm, Perhaps
both sides are storing up energy
for a grand outburst.

And, frosh, there are many. little
ways in which you can show that

task of the younger students to put

men must" put their noses to the

ABOUT STUDENT
