"AMICUS CERTUS IN RE . . ."

People attending the football games at the Stadium are forced to put up with sanitary facilities which can best be described as barbaric. The gentleman's rooms, for instance, consist of a twenty-foot fence with three-foot wings on each end; for them, and, presumably, for the ladies', the drainage arrangements, other than those provided by Mother Earth, are nil. This state of affairs, obviously, possesses certain more or less serious drawbacks; among them are its potentialities as a seventh heaven for bacteria.
