Dartmouth comes but once a year, and the deadline for ticket applications has already passed into history. And so an unfortunate group with fickle memories will do without their free seats to the show at Soldiers Field.

Ten days may not be an unreasonable time for the H.A.A. to work on the mammoth task of allocating by class almost 3000 places at the Stadium. It should of course, make every effort to increase the efficiency with which it handles applications. But for the absent-minded who, memories beclouded by paper deadlines and tutorial appointments, miss the brief eight-hour interval on Wednesdays, student tickets should be available until game time, simply on presentation of bursar's card and coupon.

The possession of a ticket booklet indicates that a student has contributed to the support of Harvard athletics. Many more could also support them vocally if a good memory were not a prerequisite to admission to the stands.
