...taken off the shelf, dusted off, released under its third title, The Kid Comes Back. Less realistic than Kid Galahad, which focused on the chicanery of the fight racket, The Kid Comes Back concerns itself with an aging trial horse of the ring (Barton MacLane), whose sole remaining barrier to the championship is his own protégé (Actor Morris). In setting the stage for the old trial horse to have his day at last, the story permits itself a few trenchant observations about heavyweight champions who retire to Connecticut farms to read Shakespeare, titled Hollywood hangers...
...foreigners. Last week the 569 deputies of the Council of the Union and some 3,000 other people who had acquired special permits surged into the Hall of St. Andrew (Throne Room) of the Great Kremlin Palace. The seats for the spectators were separated only by a small barrier from those of Russia's elected representatives.

For this progress, credit is due to Widener's receptive administration, which has done its best to meet reasonable demands. To the undergraduate, however, still remains the Library's greatest barrier--the lack of permission to use the stacks. To advocate that this permission be granted is not the purpose of this editorial; there are sound arguments against flooding the stacks with an over-abundance of students. A much more workable solution might be the creation of a student contact...
