With the arrival of Orientation Week, we upperclassmen realize that the football season is once again upon us. The Brandei? Judges begin their fifth varsity season Saturday against a powreful B.C. eleven at Alumni Field in Newton. As this issue of the Justice will primarily reach the freshme*, this writer is attempting to fill the newcomers in on what have been the fortunes of the Brandeis gridmen these past four years. The first varsity season, 1951, saw the Blue win four, and lose four. Many of the games were 'in the bag/ only to be lost in the last few minutes due to inexperience. The second year saw the team winning five, losing two, and tying one to compile the best record in Brandeis* short history. The Judges were unbeaten in their first four games and were heavily favored to beat U. of Mass. in the fifth encounter only to be upset 26-6. This proved to be quite a dampener on what otherwise appeared to be an unbeaten season. That upset, by the way, occured on Homecoming Day, 1952, and the Judges have never won a Homecoming Game since; sort of a jinx, 912 A M a in St perhaps. Guess who Brandeis plays on Homecoming Day, (Nov. 5) this W a lth a m year? You’re right — the U. of Mass. Two years ago, the Blue had a four and three record; the season ending dismally with an upset by lightly regarded New Haven State, Student's 7-6. Last season the team posted a five and three slate, losing to pow Favorite erful B.U., Temple, and New Hampshire. O P E N AROUND THE CLOCK The outlook for this season is fairly bright, Jim Stehlin, Larry Glazer, and Ed Waldron are back from the service to bolster a squad of 19 re turning lettermen. With a few breaks here and there,. ,this could prove to be the best season in Brandeis history. New Hampshire looms as the only favored team, besides B.C., that the Judges will have to face. In two pre-season scrimmages, the Blue came out on top against both Tufts, which is touted as one of the best small college teams in the area, and Fort Devens. r WEST END JUDGES' JOTTINGS

Page Six ______THE JUSTICE______October 21. 1955 Treasurer Explains New Budget
A few words of explanation are probably necessary to accompany the presentation of this budget. Past experience has taught us that the present form of the budget is the most workable. The deficit listed is the total amount of money owed by all clubs subsidized by Union funds. Contrary to rumors circu lating at the end of last year, the budget for 1954-55 did not balance, largely because of the steady stream of bills that flowed in all summer. The figure listed here is probably not a final figure sinec outstanding money may come in at any time. This also holds true for outstanding bills. The Student Council this year has decided to accept the responsibility for club deficits. This simply means that all of the outstandin g club debts will be paid in one lump sum rather than granting additional allotments the difference between the total of the club activities except lec to the clubs, so that they can tion.

The essays consist of their thoughts at a particular moment — the moment of birth from the cloister in which they have spent four crucial years, into the world of "making-a-living.” They write with hindsight of the structure from which they emerge and with foresight on the one they are about to enter. They criticise an existence which they know well, perhaps too well, sometimes lov ingly, sometimes bitterly. They speak of an existence they are yet to know with insight and naivete. Their words may not be pro phetic, but always informative and, we hope instructive. We thank Miss Isler and Messers. Goodman, Shore, and Walzer for their interest, effort, and honesty.
