*feJE FOUR We, The Women — , Three 'Musis' Tor i Your Dale Calendar President Hetzel praised stu dent government here and urged the faculty to encourage student self-responsibility in his talk 'Thursday night. The president has always been the outstanding pr<s - student - government influ ence on our campus. For this we are fortunate. But, while the faculty and ad ministration go on fostering stu dent government organizations, there is still a great deal to be done by students. To bring crit icism to light can’t be done too soon since within the next two months groups responsible for setting student government pol icies wilt face the problem of replacing their clientele with new Mood. It is with women's elections that we are concerned. Undoubtedly there can be changes which could strengthen considerably the groups which regulate the dives of coeds here. The responsibility for naming qualified candidates from the floor of the WSGA-WRA mass meeting has been lightly felt in the. past. What should be an or ganized attempt to nominate women whom the nominating committees may have overlooked Iras often been turned into a f.orority free-for-all. Though we are fortunate not to have sorority politics as such on our campus, >io one can deny that combina tions do exist—be they only in spirit. Personal prejudices often re ject a desirable candidate while a popular but unqualified woman' "makes out.” Too often we fill responsible positions with women who lack tlie initiative to find out what their constituents think about problems which epneern them. The sparsely attended mass meetings last year and the year lie tore attest to the lack of in terest in self-government shown liy too many coeds. These, and other present de fects, can be corrected by think ing now of competent possibilities for offices and by marking Feb ruary 25, February 27, and March 5 (mass meeting, primary and final elections) as “musts” on your calendar.

She will then mark a “1” beside the soror ity "of her choice, and if she wishes she may indicate second and third preferences. Rushees are warned, however., that the noting of a second or third choice indicates complete willingness to join that house if a bid has not been extended by the first choice. Ballots are to be returned im mediately, Miss Charlotte E. Ray, dean of women, urged last night so that bidding may be completed quickly for the benefit of sorori ties and rushees.. When all bal lots have been returned and lists for each"house compiled, rushing chairmen will be notified to call for them.
