laat forty years has been In the print- ^ ■

Gold this week by kindly consent
ing to do the linotype and production
work The college paper was left
stranded as a result of Allen Colen-
da's departure, and coupled with this
fact. It was Impossible to secure lob
nrinters elsewhere to do the work.
Roy Mansfield was coerced into doing
the make-up for this Issue, but Mr.
Robinson will probably take over alt
producUon duties in succeeding la-
sues.
AI a called meeting of the Pan HeU
lenic Council earlier this week, ban
quet dates were set for fraternltlea
and sOTorities.
Dae to the fact that Araiy reserxes
will be called to active duty at the end
of Ififs quarter, two fVatemities re
quested and were* laafgned dates In
Febrwr. thus aKting a precedent.
Heretofore, banquet dates have ranged
from fate March to early May
Kappa Psi leads off wt February 8
