TO THE BATTALION: UNDERHANDED POLITICIANS LNDKR \ HANDED I T I What has seemingly turned into s hot political issue had Hts beginning when the Tuesday failed, intentionally or otherwise, to carry count whatsoever of the annual ball of organisationswell known to have been the Infantry Regiment for the simple reason that It has been the only organization to hape been completely neglected in the Tuesday Battalion. That week u representative of the paper asked for a writeup of the affair, which was promptly pre pared and together with pictures of the Orchestra leader sent to the Battalion Office well ahead of "going to press.” A satisfactory explanation has been given for the omission of the pictureaj but, as yet, none for the story. . That issue of The Battalion may have been tight, but it eras tightened with a wedge of an announcement of the candidacy of a candllaU for editor which received as mi^ch space as wap finally allotted to the dance in the Friday issue. The “clique" is not inierestod in whether the omission was due to the inability of the Upe-col- umns to stretch or to the deliberate action of the editor; the fact remains that the Infaatryj Sophomores, and Freshmen have suffered pn addi tional assessment to cover u substantial lorn caused by the omission of a very important announcement especially for the benefit of day students, causing an unexpected and hard-felt slump in tklert sales. r At this pqint we wish to plagerixe a bK on the wonderful Tmeday editorial by stating that the laid clique is not 'well-defined—AND ANY RUMORS j THAT IT IS SET IN ITS POLITICAL P0UC1ES ! ARE BASE XIES USED AS UNDERHANDED CAMPAIGN MUD-SLINGING IN THEM$ELVES. But we also want to add that it is possible to build up a political sentiment as powerful and a? far-reaching as any begged for by the recurrence of articles such as Tuesday’s editorial. —Thomas F. met^ord , ; Earle W.
