'The campus will answer: Yes or No. The procedure is simple.The student body should attempt to view the matter sanely. On one hand is tradition: there is a groat tendency to declare whatever has been as the right thing. Thatshould not swav anyone. On the other hand, is the tend-* *cncv to abolish everything. Thai should not swav anv-one.Kach student should calmlv sit down and ask himself: “Do I favor card-stunts? Then, after he promptly answers himself, No, 1 do not, he should trot to the election booths and vote for abolition. If lie answers in favor of card-stunts, he should sit and think a little longer.The argument for ending these things is quite clear.
