LEFT in 1940. That is the significance of Tuesday’s election to the present generation of college students, most of whom will cast their first presidential ballot four years from The Republican Party may not be dead; parties have been counted out before, only to outlive their mourners. The Hoover landslide of 1928 comes to mind. But if the countless transfusions that the DuPonts, Mellons, and Grundys pumped for four years into the debilitated hulk of the G.O.P. elephant couldn’t revive it, it seems likely that they will give up the job. Any day we may expect to hear cries of “Bury the Dead.” That they gave up before the end of this campaign was fairly evident. The newspapers kept up appear ances, the speakers continued to talk, but several weeks ago the interests behind Landon got off the hearse and onto the bandwagon. The nature of the new party alignments will de pend a great deal upon Roosevelt’s course during the next four years. If he accepts this vote as evidence of approval of his sometimes liberal policy and turns to the left, there will likely be a coalition of the various con servative groups into some sort of a reactionary—pos sibly fascistic party. If, as has been the case with ev ery other president elected for a second term, he veers to the right; if the forces that in this election supported Landon succeed in capturing the present Democratic Party; then there will probably be, in 1940, some sort of a Popular Front combining most of the present lib eral, or I’odical groups—probably a'Farm-Labor Party. Something else, of course, may happen. That is axiomatic in American politics. But at present it seems very likely that our next election will be funda mentally Left vs. Right. Party labels will have more meaning than at any time in the century. And it will depend a great deal upon the students now in'college in which direction the trend will be. With that responsibility it is the clear duty of every person in Bchool to learn something of the political and econo mic complexion of our present system, and to follow closely the events of the next four years in both these fields. There are a few courses and a few instructors here that try to present economic, social, and political facts in what they honestly believe to be the true light. Any one who is interested can find out what those courses are and who teaches them. Newspapers, magazines, and books are all here and most students can read. 1 An informed electorate can be built up. If that is done it may sometime be possible to have in this coun try an election in which reason and rationality will count for more than mud and a machine. AWAKE AT LAST Three o’clock permission for Saturday night of Houseparty was the issue which finally aroused the House of Representatives from its lethargy. That was discussed and passed with vigor. The other more important suggestions they passed immedi- ately with no discussion. W. S. G. A. had planned this year to make the House of Representatives a more active and functioning body. To date some of the houses have not reported. The representatives who have attended acted as if the meetings were borosomc ordeals. There are thirty members of this body, made up of the president of each fraternity house and dormitory. Meetings are held twice a month under the leadership of the vice president of W. S. G. A. The House could definitely be made a strong active body.. Power is given them to use in all major issues. They could put into being all the suggestions for a bet ter W. S. G. A., which they have no doubt complained about in the past with friends. . An excellent representation of the women is em bodied in the House. No better opportunity could be had to bring forth opinions of the women and carry back to them first-hand knowledge of what W. S. G. A. is doing. The representatives should go to each meeting faithfully and with the feeling that they are a definite part of their government. They should consider each issue seriously, so that none are regretted when carried out. It is up to the representatives alone whether or not they make the House worthy of its existence. —M. A. R.

Anyway, Sunday chapel after houseparty was at tended by an unusual number of collegians who The Free One is survived by the Occasional Bag of Chips at the Hofbrau, the Cushie Chair at Dog gie’s, and the Short One at Husko’s Taproom. . The Free One, son of The One on the House, is greatly mourned by all who sip the Paid for One. Re ports circulating around town that the Free One died from temperance were denied by his friends who hinted darkly that the Free One had been murdered by the insidiously bulky and wealthy Mr. Alexander, Spider, his right hand man, and Dangerous Dan. Prevue: The Maniac promises to expose the ugly truth concerning the intricate and diabolical schemes whereby Collegian columnists earned their way through school and a trip to Greenwich Village every other week-end by accepting graft from the key be decked campus politicians who pay and pay in order to keep their names out of this column. Sore spots will be touched from the A. A. vice president, to Junior Prom, on down to Hezzie Halprin. Souseparty: It may have been a coincidence but it is our firm thought that it would he fitting and proper to take their imports, mostly girls from back home, to chapel and thereby make up for anything that might have happened on Saturday night. The boys and their im ports sat silently through Dvorak's “Goin' Home" and there was awakened in themYhe thought of part ing. No sooner had the melancholy strains of “Goin’ Home" died away than the organist struck up “Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow." Dr. Runkle, the eternal philosopher, struck the attitude that we like to see taken in those last hectic moments before houseparty. Although there are about sixty seniors in his philosophy class the total attend ance numbered a mere five for the 3 o’clock Friday afternoon. Dr. Runkle surveyed the skeleton of his class and then emitted the gem: “Well, I guess the epicurean overcame the stoic." The Phi Kappa Sigs do things in a royal way. When one of their alumni ran out of liquor and he couldn’t find another drop in the house he promptly called up Lewistown and ordered a case to be deliv ered at the house. One-fialf hour later a long low black car, accompanied by a police escort, screeched to a stop before their manse. Out of the car jumped the Lewistown chief of police, still partly in uniform, and delivered the drinks. | THE FREE ONE | Obitchuary Died: The Free One, late last week in Mr. C. C. “Doggie” Alexander’s den of beer hounds. The Free One had been ill for some time, having suffered a bad fail in Doggie's joint when that beer baron Clipped the Free Pretzel one and threw him out of town. The Free One had been in bad health for some time. A short stay at Arnie Kalin’s Hofbrau during the summer months had greatly revived the health of the Free One but the rush of business with the open ing of school so wore down the deceased that his pass ing was merely a matter of time.

Knew him pretty well. His brother played with Bix, and I’m a son-of-a-gun if I didn’t have a 1926 band picture with Hassler’s brother standing right next to our legendary god—as close as this. Ah fame, vicarious but with no waning. Mr. Hassler will permit all Bix disciples to touch the hem (no, cuff) of his coat —just once. The records are: Columbia: Frank Froeba’s band; Organ Grinder's Swing-Rhythm Lul laby, It AU Begins and Ends with You, Whatcha Gonno Do When There Ain't No Swing? Bunny Bergian is the trumpet, Joe Marsala, the clarin et, Froeba on piano, and Cosy Cole from StufF Smith's band is the drum mer. That’s a real* layout for proving that we don't have to be afraid of when there wpn’t be no more swing— not while those guys hang on. Organ Grinder gets Bergian and Marsala when they are right, and the back ground is free-enough of ’hurdy-gur dy tricks to keep the job from dating as soon as the novelty wears. Ber gian’s best, though, is his low-regis ter work in the trio of clarinet, trumpet, and tenor. This is on Rhythm Lullaby. Here are real col lective guts. The remaining two sides have their spots, despite excess vo calizing of the Helen lYard school. Froeba is nice background for the lady, but his own solos suffer a lit tle from an over-facile right hand. With Cole and Froeba in the rhythm section, however, no fear of the sap’s running low. Joe Marsala’s sixteen bars of dixieland clarinet in Ain’t No Swing are subtle but dirty (sale, as the French say.) Decca: Louie Armstrong with Jim my Dorsey's Orchestra; Skeleton in tho Closet (Pennies from Heaven) — Hardy Gurdy Man. The Skeleton lyr ic is good for Armstrong’s vocal style; lots of vowels to roll and the speck of the dramatic which Louis can always rise to. And if only the trumpet artist had left off the high note business, near the end, his chor us on the horn would be getting back to something like his great days. The tone was sure and the phrasing fresh —if only he’d cut the stunting. The coupling is Hurdy Gurdy, in which Jimmy’s orchestra gives Louie ef fective backing .The slower tempo al lows Armstrong to chant morosely of the vanishing grinder and his monkey, a lament in the vein of Louie’s fa vorite song moods. (Remember his I Can’t Give You Anything but Love, Blue Turning .prey Over You, etc?) Dccca: Jimmy Dorsey’s Orchestra; Parade of the Milk Bottlv Caps;— . Don’t Look Now. The Parade number is cleverly scored and sounds like some of the Vain Epp arranging that distinguished the Honeysuckle Rose version done several years back when the two Dorseys were together. It’s good to hear George Thou’s trumpet again—not terrific, but spirited and clean. The orchestra Was the class to do this fancy business without let ting the sweat show on the wax. Victor: Benny Goodman’s Alexan der’s Ragtime Band is on the way. I haven’t heard it yet, but you and I know it will be as good as any mod ern attempt we’re likely to get. The Casa Loma’s job on Okeh early in the decade is the only good revival I know of. Any other nominations? Brunswick: Teddy Wilson’s Orches- : trb; The Way , You Look Tonight — Easy To Love. Red Norvo’s Orches tra; It Can Happen To You—When •is a Kiss not a, Kiss? Ben Pollack’s Orchestra ; Song of the Isl ands—Jimtoum Blues. These ai’e just being released and ought to be avail able in the next day or so. You know Teddy Wilson is good and Billie Hol iday sings for him. You know Red Norvo is good and his wife, Mildred Bailey, sings for him. You aren’t sure whether Ben Pollack is good or not, and neither am I; but his. clarinetist from New Orleans, “Fazoln," is sup posed to be something, while Pollack himself is a former great. Did you known that Benny Goodman, Jack Tea garden, and Ray Bedous (now Bob Crosby's drummer) were several stai’s in the Pollack lineup of the mid dle twentiese? So Jimtown should be worth a going-over; we’ll discuss the results next time.

JEn seallpv*' ECONOMY Employment Facts (This article, dealing with the number of graduates who have found work , with, the present em ployment conditions in the field of dairy husbandry, is the third of a, series. Other articles, pertaining to the same problem in other depart ments and other schools here, will appear in luter issues.) * * * “The situation of almost 100 per cent employment of graduates in dairy husbandry has existed all through the years of the depression,” said Prof. Andrew A. Borland, head of the department of dairy husban dry, in an interview last .week. “Prac tically all of our graduates have posi tions upon the completion of the course or very soon thereafter. “Of the forty-one graduates in dairy husbandry last June, all but three ha'tl definite positions' before graduation,” he continued. Pointing out the various vocations in which graduates are engaged, Pro fessor Borland explained that the ma jority are employees in general dairy products plants, proprietors of mar ket milk and dairy products plants, employees in market milk plants, and employees in ice cream establish ments. Still others find work as supervi sors of dairy herd improvement asso ciations, teachers of vocational agri culture in high schools, graduate as sistants in colleges and universities, county agricultural agents, salesmen for dairy companies, and bacteriolo gists in city dairy laboratories. “The average salary is between' $3O and $35 a week or its equivalent,” he said, and went on to show that al though the wage has dropped slight ly, a few find exceptionally good posi tions. Commenting on the future outlook in dairy husbandry, Professor Bor land concluded, “There is an increas ing demand for trained men in both! the field of dairy husbandry and that of bacteriology.” Gay oilskin umbrellas to match in a plain or floral pattern are being fea tured at Egolf’s this week for only $1.95.

RINGER The 3 o’clock permission on Satur day night of Houseparty proved so successful that some of the girls came in long before the allotted time. It is now up to the House of Re presentatives to vote upon this per mission for the big dance week-ends. I. F. Council and W. S. G. A. have passed a vote of agreement concern ing the following hours permissable to unchaperoned women in fraternity, houses: “On Friday and Saturday nights until one o’clock, except that on week -ends of I. F.. Ball, Senior Ball, Jun ior Prom, Sophomore Hop, and the fall and spring houseparties the clos ing hours may be three o’clock,- and on Sunday nights until ten o’cloc. During the period of registration between semesters and' on the night preceding vacations and holidays un til eleven o'clock. On all other nights until eight o’- clock, with the understanding that later permission may be obtained from the Dean of Men or the Dean of Women in exceptional cases involv ing out of town guests.” W. S. G. A. has appointed an acti vities committee which will select all committees for all forms of enter tainment sponsored by W. S. G. A.; throughout* the year. These committees are selected from the preferences for types of work which they put on their personnel cards.
