Viewpoints.
Student Activity Ticket.

To the Editor of the University Missourian:
would like, tc express approval of
viewpoint recently published in the
Missourian upon the subject of a stu
dent activity ticket. 1t is surprising
that the students do not take more
action in this matter 1t may be that
the new students are not thoroughly
familiar with the nature of student
activity ticket and the older students
deem it hopeless task to attempt to
get such concession.
Why should not the matter be
brought up in a mass meeting and ey-
planned tc all the students? Members
OF the University activities that have
from lack of support should
especially take an active interest in
this matter. Lets do something. -.
