Seniors Approve Simple Class Day

Seniors questioned over the weekend were practically unanimous in backing the curtailment or elimination of Class Day exercises, a move which William G. Morse '99, purchasing agent for the University, advocated last Thursday.

Morse had said that the Stadium Exercises would be a waste of money and valuable defense materials. He is particularly opposed to the confetti battle, in which last year's Seniors used up $450 worth of paper-in ten minutes.

In support of Morse, Loreu G. MacKinney '42, president of the Student Council said: "I certainly don't think we ought to have anything that will put us into debt."

Eliminate Stadium Exercises

Eugene D. Keith '42, ex-president of the Student Council, made the following statement: "It certainly seems desirable to make Class Day a less elaborate affair the year, perhaps dispensing with the Stadium Exercises entirely and using the House quadrangle instead.

"The Senior Spread could still be a financial success, but the informal House dancing might be eliminated. Very probably the students would like to see Class Day held immediately after final exams, or during them, on the day of the baseball game. As for confetti--torn up newspapers are a possible ersatz.

Coles Phinizy '42, ex-president of the Lampoon went further than Keith, saying: "I think it's foolish to go through with any Class Day this year. I don't see any reason for it."
