It will satisfy our needs, if the contest board feels that we have
enough sense to decide amongst ourselves what we want, and adopts that
attitude that "that government is best which governs least." I hope
so. I also feel that this is a band-aid approach that, for the present,
is necessary. I also hope that I'm wrong, and that it is, in fact, a
long term solution. Remember, we are dealing here with a group, (the
CB) that was willing, (and did so) to hold all the classes hostage for
the sake of their deleting one "offending" maneuver.
