Group Fails
In Attempt to
Revive Clique
Another attempt to reorganize
the pre-iwar Campus clique' fell
flat again last night as a' group
turned out last:night in answer
to a call from Alexander Petrow
ski, a former member •of the
clique
The plan to revive the former
l'aternity4Llacked clique was dis
carded after it was pointed out
that a clique must present a
complete preliminary slate of
nominations Sunday night.
The small size of the group
turning out last night and the
large job ahead if the clique was
to present a slate for the coming
elections was given by Petrowski
as the reason for abandoning the
project.
This was not the first time that
groups have .E,ttempted to revive
the Campus clique, it was learn
ed. All other efforts have ended
in the groups, attaching them
selves to• the two established cli
ques.
