...CRIMSON regrets deeply to admit that error like a foul, cankerous growth crept unnoticed and uninvited into its editorial sanctum to contaminate, if not totally infect a comment labelled "Let Them See" in the issue of October 14.

A. is argus-eyed and the CRIMSON can claim no immunity from a righteous protest, To be brief, it has tilted with a windmill, bayed at the moon, shied at a clothes horse. In short, it is not true that undergraduates are included in the draw for football tickets...

Richards v. LaCoste. Richards pulled off his sweater, made two errors, was aced twice by the small Frenchman, whose face showed all too clearly his partiality for the vices that infect his country and capital city.
