To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

There is posted in your columns today a notice to the effect that it has been found necessary to extend the time for receiving applications to the 1909 Union dance. This is the second time that an extension has been granted owing to the negligence of Junior members of the Union to aid the committee in its work. It seems to me that Juniors should show enough class spirit to support to their fullest extent the only event of the year of its kind. There are still very many men in the class who could easily afford to join the Union and come to the dance, but who are unwilling to do so chiefly because they do not think that the Union dance will be sufficiently amusing. Of course it won't be amusing if they are determined that it won't be. The Union dance should above all be a class affair, and every man in the class should be willing to help to the best of his ability to make the dance a success. The former Union dances have been highly successful, because the committees have had the support of their classes. Has the class of 1909 less class feeling than the others? It unfortunately appears so from the present outlook. W. G. WENDELL.
