Sunday night the whole American continent
stood up and listened
The radio suddenly boomed out that New Jersey
been invaded that gas i'alS rising from the
Jersey swamps choking offevery bit of humanity
in its wake, that 7,000 soldiers had been annihil

STRAWS IN THE WIND
LAST WEEK, after completion 01 the imoor
plehmtnmies, the fieshman political campaign got
into full swing nith the 042 Campus Chque's ap
pointmeni of two vitally important committees—
one to te,ommend nominations fogy class offices, the
Mlle', to recommend a platfoi 111
Nest week; these committees are scheduled to
present the results of their studies to then rem e
seatatzves
New a few years back this matter may not hay.
been of much importance to any of the students
other than those whn wcie membeis of the commit
tees or of the clique itself
Today, houevei, it is of panic impoi Lance not
only to committee member., not only to the elima,
but to every member of the freshman class and
even to the student body as a whole
For today time exists on this campus a new and
an enlightened student attitude toward student pro
blems, an attitude which has aided matettally in
lifting campus polities to a mac decent and more
sensible level
And it ik, because of this fact—because of the
great mini ovement noted in campus politics dui lop
the past two yews or so—that the matter becomes
of such importance
It is Impoi tont, most of all, because it will show
just %%hid' way the political %tin& are blowing in
the Class of 'l2
If the committees choose to follow the prevailing
political thought and dwell moie on issues than no
personalities, then all is good and well
if the conmuttees choose, however, to shun issue , ,
and dwell instead on pet sonalities, then the time
will have come to move quickly and foicefully to
citi , ,h the iebuth of gutter politics and insuie the
continued betterment of student welfare
HMMM!
USING THE logic employed by some pfople
hereabouts, the Collegian is expecting to see any
minute a concerted drive to oust Ossie Solem as
coach at Syracuse University. Any reference to
persons living or dead is purely coincidental.
