This "Farrago" Business.

During the year "Smad's" efforts to start an exchange with "Farrago" proved unsuccessful. This extract from "Proletariat" explains the reason.

"This year 'Farrago' has been, to all intents and purposes, non-existent. Two negligible issues have appeared in the eleven-week term (excluding the pre-term Freshers' 'Farrago'). . . The Labour Club pointed out in 'Student Affairs' that a situation had been reached in which students were entitled to demand from the union an account of the money said by the, part of which was supposed to provide a weekly 'Farrago.' It became obvious almost at once that the Labour Club was voicing the opinion of the majority of students.

"On May 14 an open Forum was held, at which the strength of the student feeing became apparent. Then the Students' Representative Council called a general meeting of students to discuss the question. . . the meeting forced the election of a student committee of four to investigate the situation. . . This committee has, we understand, investigated the union's finances and has made certain recommendations. . . . One suggestion is that a plebiscite should be held on the desirability of 'Farrago' continuing to exist,"
