To Editor, Martlet.
While it is true that wet rags occasionally suffer spontaneous internal combustion, it seems no such accident is likely to occur to our council. We have a smoothly running, well-oiled machine in control of student affairs. This is good, but how about a little more elan? We students are, for lack of other amusement, driven to drink and the devil. I see the day coming when my idea of a good time will be driving around in a snazzy convertible with a bottle of rye and a dame. Such an end to the high and pure ideals of youth is surely too horrible to contemplate. The Council sets the tone of this College, and it is surely in its power to improve this deplorable state of affairs. Let it provide interest, not merely efficiency.
