Oracle readers praised steel columns magazine and humor

The note thanks Tom Perryman and Albert Reece of Carnegie-Illini for a copy of Steel Columns describing it as a mighty interesting and beautifully edited magazine. It also mentions new friends Lets Poke About Town and Since Thursday and compliments Burke R. Meade for his droll humor.
