PRINCETON GOES COMMUNIST

Prospect Street in Princeton is a shady avenue lined with 16 impressive clubs where upperclassmen live and move and have their meals. For 62 years now Tigertown has annually indulged in the pageantry of Bicker Week, when the clubs cull over the palpitating Sophomores for new blood-a stately procedure which the Dally Princetonian irreverently calls buffalo and twenty-three skidoo. From how on, the trustees have rules, every academically eligible Sophomore must be allowed to become a member of a club if he so wishes."

This is a dangerous move which threatens to undermine our institutions. God knows what would happen if the Harvard clubs were required to take in all who applied for membership. Already there are signs that an insidious levelling influence is at work here. Even the Stag Club isn't as exclusive as many os us would like to see it, and there are some pretty seedy looking characters in Mike's club these days. One thing leads to another. If vigorous steps are not taken, national scholars will soon be granted automatic membership in the Porcellian, Hasty Pudding will be holding competitions, and Harry's Club will be the last refuges of the scholar and the gentleman.
