THE flRING LINE
a column of student opinion
Several articles for this column, some
making various complaints about the
Mood Hall grub, others commenting on
various phases of the Honor System,
had to be rejected because t*ie name of
the writer was not signed. In two cases
the handwriting and initials identified
the writers. But the full name of the
writer must be signed. Ihe Firing
line is open to everyone, but its regular
rules must be observed.
