They may be even more than justified in asking students to walk three-fourths of a -mile or more for their break fast, who knows!

We wish to extend our thanks to the writer for saying something which had to be said. Yet we, with what might be termed apathy thought only to mumble to ourselves and forget the miserable matter. It should not be forgotten. For getting disappointments an d failures is what causes this type of apathy. . - It is our belief that bctter plan ning could have been used to in sure a larger turnout of girls. Mix ers and socials are lots of fun, but only when held with girls. --James Schneider, '6l Richard Tessitore, '6l Edwin Smith, '6l TO THE EDITOR: In reference to the letter of Mr. Pollack, pub lished in this column on Decem ber 13, we feel that a few items are in need of clarification.

' Thursday, at the University Senate special meeting which Was called to discuss proposed calendar revisions, Peter Fish burn, student representative on the Senate calendar committee, was to give a report to the Sen ate regarding the students' viewpoint on revising the pres ent calendar. But Mr s . Fishburn did not do this. Instead he very bluntly an nounced that the students had no viewpoint! Certainly, the distin guished Senators got a chuckle out of this, but just who were they laughing at, Mr. Fishburn or the entire student body? It was implied that the students simply didn't care and actually had no opinion whatsoever. Well, you're wrong. Mr. Fish• I burn; the students do care.
