...communication column of the CRIMSON is designed to afford a free discussion of any not too trivial question. Serious articles on either side of a question are always welcome. When two or more articles take up an identical phase of a problem in a similar manner, however, the CRIMSON feels justified in only printing the best one of them. All articles should be signed by the writer's real name. The CRIMSON also feels at liberty to suppress armless, hopelessly written, trivial articles on any subject.

By extending the recess this cutting could be avoided, and the time lost would gladly be made up by all men in somewhat increased assignments...
...brings eager throngs from all over the East, it is fitting to consider for a brief moment the calamitous suffering now being endured all over Europe. Those happy thousands who today will pack the Stadium, with thoughts centered solely on the great football battle staged before them, may well afford to think also of the greater, sterner battles being fought elsewhere, where the yard-lines are trenches, and where even victory brings untold suffering...
