ing from Hudson River Boat-rides to Education for Wfoinenf' and he has covered them interestingly. Editorially we have boosted the various campus functions from May Devotions at the Grotto to the Senior Ball, and we have lambasted educational bias and promis- cuity in co-ed colleges. VVe have had differences with various people on various subjects, but no really serious differences. We have worked pretty hard, and like to feel that we have accomplished something, although we know only too well that we have plenty of room for improvement. Best of all, the Quad staff is still the most unique group on the campus. XV e have engineers, artsmen: ASB-men and BS-men, we have a mad genius of an Irishman, john B. VValsh, and several equally wild ltalians: we have Marines, Army men, and n1en from the Air Force, and everyone has a grand time . . . except the man who has to clean up the Quad office.
