Bias, R ah Feature Semester

An eventful semester, marke I
by discrimination squabbles, the
return of rah-rah, and hectic up
and downs by 'M' football and
basketball teams slid into oblivion
today with many an exam-cram-
ming student too busy to give it
more than passing notice.
On the educational scene, the
semester will be remembere,
chiefly for the new literary col-
lege curriculum which was inaug-
urated for entering freshmen this
fall. The sweeping revision which
is still underway is directed to-
wards producing a broader but
better integrated study program
for future University students.
