who realized that the State cadets, rs
beneiicarics Of the state, had no right
TO complain OF the food.
We do not like that saying. The vr-

ton, and the State cadets go there with
the same privileges and ilnmunlties that
other cadets enjoy. If complaints are In
order, they have as much right ms other
students to make them. The lntlmation
that dltnctions are drawn between State
cadets and pay cadets Is very rcpulsve
tous. Are such distinctions rcnily made?
Do State cadets occupy a position OF in
3ferior influence because they do not pay
their way? We ask for information.
