'If the junior class approves of the assessment of $2 for each st.nrlpirf: " Vpjkipv anirl "flipn there is a D0Ssibmty 'that the fee will be collected by the ad- ministration, although I have had no definite promises made as yet." "Now that we have reorgani zed," Veasey continued, "I be lieve we should get busy and it i . reany ao something with our class. This will be the first Ju nior-Senior prom since the war began, and I hope the class will be interested enough to express its opinion on the assessment in a favorable way so that we can start making plans for the first project of the class of '47.

Tickets can still be pur chased for tonight's fun-feast at Ledbetter-Pickards or any mem ber of the organization for 60 cents apiece. Praise must be given to the en tire staff of Furious members for their hard work in getting this show to the campus as scheduled, overcoming a thousand and one breakdowns during the last week of rehearsals. The skits went off well but honors must be given to the chorus which stole the show especially in the first ten rows. Tonight's presentation of the joke-packed, pace-setting, re view will begin at 8 p. m. and ac cording to the S&F cast will in clude, "everything we couldn't get in last night." Again, the hall is fast selling out so the business staff can only promise a limited number of tickets to be put on sale in the foyer.

Professor Accuses Social Fraternities Of Grand Larceny (By AC Press) ' Professor Holmes of Bow doin College has accused fraternities-of being anti-intellectual and guilty of grand larceny of the freshmen's time. These in temperate demands upon his time not infrequently mean fail ure to pass one or more difficult courses." He praised the fraternities be fore the war when they boasted of abolishing "Hell Week" but now this problem, he said, is more flagrant than at any time for 20 years. A very slight exercise of in genuity could yield a formula that would fulfill the purpose of all initiations (which is not the instruction of the young but the amusement of the almost as young), and that this purpose could be served without ruining a crucial month of the initiates' college career, are the opinions of Professor Holmes.
