BRIGGS HALL made an admirable assault against arbitrary and unjust tradition when it nominated David Cochran for Dorm President last week. Today it seems that the forces of reaction have recaptured that traditionally conservative dorm. It is well that a female candidate has arisen from the Briggs ranks--no election should go uncontested.
