Although I may sound prejudiced,
I feel I must say something
about the invitations to the
Freshman and Sophomore Mixer
to the various schools in the area.
Why was Virginia left out? For
years they have extended gracious
invitations to the students of Madison
to their football games, dances,
opening week-ends, etc.
The Virginia Cavaliers are
gentlemen, an image the men on
our own campus should look up
to and try to imitate. Could it be
they don't want Virginia taking
the girls away? Any guy who
makes himself pleasing in a girl's
eyes will have no trouble getting
a date, and the beating up of boys
from other schools doesn't help
the Madison men's image one bit,
in fact, it shows their immaturity.
I probably won't attend the
mixer, but, if I did, I would be
pleased to see a gentleman among
the crowd. It isn't fair when
gracious invitations are extended
to us, so, why leave them out?
