...their exemption from the draft, which is a serious guilt. All too many who now go to college have little interest, ability, and use for what constitutes a college education. They would be better off with a high level vocational education which is closely linked to a work program which gives scope to; their needs for physical activity and visible, tangible achievement. The complaint of many of these students is that nobody needs them. They feel parasites of society, and hence come to hate a society which they think makes them feel this...
Probably another reason for the program's failures has been the lack of space devoted to the contests in the CRIMSON. This difficulty arises from lack of space and, especially, a scarcity of people to do the writing. The erstwhile Mr. Sherman, consternated by the situation, sent the CRIMSON a scathing letter in the fall. In replay to a subsequent request by this newspaper, he sent us a list of athletic secretaries, double-spaced, to facilitate communication with these valuable sources of information. I imagine we regret the fact that after that we were still unable to increase coverage...

Wigg. West and Massachusetts, under the direction of Emile Godfrey, captured most of the other titles, but as Sherman said, "After we won the basketball, we were pretty sure no one could stop us." It is reported that Sherman "goes wild dragging kids out there," and this probably accounts...
...Floyd Wilson, and Rufus Peebles. And somehow interest must be stirred up. Perhaps more promotion, including press coverage, would help in that direction. At any rate Wilson and his advisors, if there are any, had better take stock of the situation and then take action because a good intramural program is worth having...
