Shocked

Shocked.

Dear "Smad"—

In common with many students who can claim to have the best interests of the College at heart, I have been surprised and dismayed by the lack of taste displayed by certain members of the tennis club. These members of a club which has arrogated unto itself the right to dictate who shall play on the courts, and in what coloured costume have calmly proceeded to leap about the courts in abbreviated and scanty garb. I refer to these shorts as I believe they are called. Perhaps these people want to distract attention from the weaknesses in their game by their costume. If so they have certainly succeeded as many God-fearing people returning on Sundays from Divine Worship have been disgusted by the display of angular limbs.

The Students Association constitution definitely lays down that—"The field dress and badges of all members of sport clubs shall, before use be submitted to the Executive for approval." Presumably these people know this rule—certainly one frequent offender as a member of the Executive should know of its existence.

I am sure all reasonable people will join with me in asking the Executive to take stern disciplinary steps in regard to the offending club and its would-be smart members and teach them a well-deserved lesson in breeding, and thus remove this slur on the fair name of the College.
