In times like these it is of vital import that his responsibility for his individual opinions...
...tables will be reserved exclusively for the clubs. Two applications have already been made, all others must be made this spring or early next fall. The arrangement has been made possible by the fact that the Staplers' Club, which has rented the room for some time, will soon move to another building. In the main dining room the Union will provide a more varied a la carte menu, while keeping prices at a low figure...
