Queens Again! It seems a shame that the men of J.B. could not pick their queen for a day. Once again, a student project that would ease the ten- sion of continual studying was blocked by our conservative ad- ministration. When a student body advancing rapidly in knowledge and maturity perceive at last how far their "venerable machinery" is lagging behind them, what then we ask is to be done? What then but to ask the administration to meet us half way. We only have this to say to the men who inspired this plan, "Good-by, free-thinking."
