The Battalion welcomes all. We trust that the Old Boys are glad to get back to College, and that tha ctraiigers will get nsed to things in a week or two. The Old Boys know that The Battalion belongs to the students, and must be supported by them. It is all right to talk About revenue from advertisements, but the sub script lops are the starting point. Every advertiser knows that ad vertising in a paper without a bona yi'firsubscription list is very nearly worthless. As our subscription list lengthens, we oan raise our adver tising rates: as we lose subscribers we must lower the rate. Every one should therefore come up promptly with his subscription.
