A good start has been made with an article on the library, and others on such topics as bad lighting, inadequate facilities in various departments, examination standards, etc. Continuous attention to these problems may result in some activity. Some decent book reviews not too long and not too one-sided, would be welcomed. More comment on national affairs of a less destructive tone would be well complemented with articles about international affairs which do not consist of the vices of the Marshall Plan. WFDY. China. Greece and Indonesia.
