The once? happy freshman is arguing wifh fhe insisfenf senior fhaf, in fhe firsf place, he has only one dollar which is fo lasf him all week, and sec- ondly, his friends are definifely nof baskefball fans, and are going fo fhe movies Safurday. Buf, fhe senior does nof give upg so, before fhe lafe-bell has rung, fhe poor vicfim is frudging fo his fyping class muffering under his breafh, and wondering how in heaven's name he allowed a brainless senior fo sell him a ficlcef fo a game he has no infenfion of seeing. Some members of fhe sfudenf body have cerfain fechniques which fhey exercise fo gef rid of fhe salesman before fhey break down and buy of him. ln February, fhe Square Deal announces fhaf our G.
