The upperclassman entertaining his date in his room tonight is taking advantage of the next-to-last Saturday night permission before chilly December. Soon the House Dances will be upon him, and he must join the throng.
He would do well to consider the injustice of it all, and seek a restoration of popular government. The Masters' Council stands upon a shaky mandate when it thwarts the popular will on parietal rules, and if it would retain office under democratic procedures, it must seek a vote of confidence. The student should impress his local representative that the Government has no majority on the issue, and would quickly be set down by the Right Honorable Opposition if the issue were taken to the people.
This vote, undoubtedly, would go against the Housemasters and they would be forced to resign. Of course, some might be retained in a coalition ministry, but only if they would go along with the peoples' delegates on this vital issue. Abramson, Scher, Brachman, and Hofeld must dominate this new ministry; they must not be the unwilling dupes of a rejuvenated and rampant conservatism.
