This paper proved to be so successful that it was decided to continue it thru the fifth term. But this plan did not prove feasible and the project was dropped. Since a class paper would serve to create an undesirable distinction between classes, the matter of a term paper was laid before the sixth term, with these reasons for its existence: It would bind the term together more firmlyg it would be an impetus for the literary talent of the sixth termg and, finally, it would supply the Argus with material for publication. The idea 'met with the hearty approval of the term and each' class sent a maximum of three girls to the first staff meeting. The paper is typewritten and copy is posted on each bulletin board on the fourth Hoor, where it is on exhibition for sixth termers and anyone el'se who is interested in it. 66

T H E A R G U s Glraitir Equah Chairman-Jacqueline McNaughton The Traffic Squad, that noble .band of girls, has, thus far, performed its multitudinous duties without due recognition and praise. We hope, in this inadequate way to make up in some small part, at least, for the unintentional neglect. Since Hunter's halls are somewhat narrower than one might expect to End in a structure of such imposing appearance, we must choose one of two courses: either we must admit only girls of' prescribed dimensions or we must have a Traffic Squad. Needless to say, we chose the latter alternative. The Traffic Squad has functioned extraordinarily well this term, particularly in view of the fact that the bell schedule has suffered rather frequent changes. An efficient chairman, is the answer to that riddle. We trust that we have atoned for the sins of our predecessors. . TQ. 01. 15. No, it is not, the High Cost of Living. But it is the Low Cost of Reading. The Hunter Circulating Library, under the management of the seventh term, is renting modern fiction at the extremely low rate of two cents per day. The shelves are open for inspection every lunch period in the 108th Street gymnasium. Turn to the left as you enter. However if you find it inconvenient to .go to the gym- nasium, consult the list of books posted on the third floor and put your reserve slip in the box provided for that purpose. Books will be delivered free of charge. Incidentally we forgot to tell one of the most important things. The sevenths are doing this for the benefit of the Student's Aid Fund and are trying their level best to make a success of the venture. It is up to you to co-operate by doing yourself a favor. That is, by reading some really good books at the lowest cost that they can be obtained anywhere. 65
