Another Nuisance

After 329 years of sparsely attended Friday-after- Thanksgiving classes, the University has decided to give its students a four-day holiday this weekend. Gratefully, we suggest that Thanksgiving be set aside in the future as a day for doing something about those problems no one has ever gotten around to.

Number of on this list of nuisances is the swimming requirement. Every year several students wind up on probation because they can't navigate the IAB pool twice, and there is always the threat that a student won't be allowed to graduate because he cannot swim fifty yards. The swimming requirement has been a bother too long both for students and administrators, and it should be abolished.
