a large number of meals in the center is to keep them here for the weekend dr lawrence whitcomb arcadia adviser called these statements erroneous and said that the uni versity merely wants to provide

stated that all officers of living groups were interested in providing the kind of houseparty the university was interested in bill collins arcadia president backed up mooney in this respect collins
