CHEERFUL GIVERS
MIDST ROUSING CHEERS emitted by mo
ponents of the Reciention Lodge, the fate of the
$5,000 allotted fat the Serum Class gift was de
cided And sIY votes would have swung the sum
the °the! way.
Let it be undei stood, the Collegian has no
cliciee, no favoute in the two-way struggle for
the class donation The Lodge has its advantages
Murals tan match these
But when such a sum of money Is at stake, Is
It right that a simple majority, of 10 votes should
determine that fate of funds accumulated over a
period of four years',
No effort has been made to conceal the obvious
fact that both physical education students and
art students were-excusecl from classes to attend
the meeting and support one or the other as pre
viously instiuctcd It so happened that the ha
te' group was slightly outnumbeied and a Lodge
victory was recorded by a count of 128 to UR

The Great Man Votes:
It's all over now but the shouting and the
