TURKEY CUTS

Under the new lenient regulations, students will undoubtedly cut their classes before and after the Thanksgiving holiday. Let us hope this will not mean the return of stringent regulations on vacation cuts, of monitorships, and of the other accoutrements of schoolboy disciplinarianism. The solution lies not through the chastisement of students, through turning the colleges into a concentration camp, but through the remodelling along modern and logical lines of the vacation itself, making it last from Thanksgiving through the next week-end.

There is no doubt that sooner or later, if not five, then ten years from now, the college authorities will come to this conclusion and change the length and limits of the vacation. But the impatience of youth is extraordinary, and probably excessive, so it makes us very sad to see another class go by laboring under the enforced guilty conscience of cutting between the Thursday of Thanksgiving and the following week-end.
