Collegian wishes it had broached this matter before any question of personalities could confuse the picture. It didn’t. The next best thing is to propose -it before the personalities affected are definitely chosen. v To anyone who looks at it the system of com pensation for student officers is cockeyed, nothing Jess. Strictly speaking, it is a hangover from the days when there was no such animal as an All- College president. When there was no such animal as the All-Col lege president, the senior class president got the highest student government compensation—about r !; 00. Two years ago, when the first All-College president was invented he was paid $5O. In his first year he definitely proved himself as import ant. and as burdened as the senior class president Who still got all he could grab or about $5OO. . This year. Cabinet intelligently set definite compensations but unintelligently continued the policy of paying the senior officer most. While the All-College president gets $250, .the senior class president gets $350. Collegian suggests that next year these figures be leveled so that each officer will get $3OO, Tfie Record-Breakers Record-breaking boys of the type Barney Ewell i.-i expected to be give us pause. Every year men get just a little better, it seems, and run a little foster. For years the race has been improving. The physical products are better. They grow taller so they can run faster. They specialize" at one distance so they can run it faster than anyone else. Other men, experts too, work day and night so that these runners may have the equipment that will give them the fastest-possible sendoff and dash. All the time we are increasing our speed. Every year the record drops just a little. Some day a sprinter will do the 100 in nothing flat. The race after that is the race we dread. We dread the position of the sprinter who that day must step to the starting line knowing full well that to set a record he must cross the finish line before he starts. We dread even more the awful position of the timer who must clock minus time. We couldn’t bear to face it ourselves. Our only hope is that perhaps the world will end just' in the nick of time. Fines For Charity The All-College Cabinet’s acceptance of the plan to turn student traffic fines over to Mrs. Heteel’s Emergency Fund is pleasing to all people concern ed: It may even be a pleasure to pay a fine in the knowledge that the money will eventually go. to help some needy, student over a crisis.

Campuseer Exiled 2 Omsk, Siberia, March 6—(special to the Col legian) Closely guarded by a band of vicious Cos sacks, the sinister figure of the Campuseer, erst r.vhile collegiate columnist, leered horribly at neighboring peasant women through prison bars here today. This lecherous figure, convicted last week on counts of libel, slander, high treason and illegal parking, was flown to his exile here yesterday via special Clipper. When interviewed by local re portoskys on his arrival, the Campuseer smiled into a sub-zero game and said: “This here place is warm compared to the chill in State Collich last week!” We Present A New toiyum— Boosters Oif The Week This week we should like to boost . . .

That’s what we call pluck! - Lloyd Parsons, who blazed a new trail in experi mentation last weekend by mistakenly imbib ing a good solid swig of Fixit from a bottle in a dark roofti. Fixit is an appetizing liquid made up of banana oil and charcoal, used for spraying art work. Mr. Parsons found it somewhat dis agreeable but refreshingly potent. * * * Private Correspondence Dear Gajeck: .The list of BMB men at senior ball is being compiled and will be released in the near future. Saare We Drink, We Say AUSTIN, Tex.—Although college students are as a whole not teetotalers and a majority may be classed as liberals on the question of drinking, there exists today on the campuses of America a good amount of conservatism regarding liquor. Two years ago this March, Student Opinion Sur veys of America conducted a nation-wide poll that for the first time provided a'complete picture of drinking habits and sentiment among collegians. The survey has been repeated, and besides pro ducing a new set of figures on this topic, the study brings proof that the sampling procedure used by Student Opinion Surveys is of such stability that its results may be interpreted as an accurate barometer of college thought from coast to coast. In summary, these were the results of the sur vey, taken through the cooperation of the college press, including The Daily Collegian: 1. Six out of every 10 believe that college stu dents do not drink too much. 2. Nearly seven out of every 10 men, and nearly five out of every 10 coeds, admit they drink alco holic beverages. 3. Eight out of every 10 are opposed to the re turn of prohibition. The 1939 survey and the present one, taken in identical manner, reveal figures that are almost parallel in every respect, giving'new basis to the fact that by means of sampling it is possible for the Surveys to gauge what the total enrollment of nearly 1,500,000 thinks. Prohibition and drinking in general are rather static questions on.which sentiment is not expected to vary considerably for long periods of time, and that is what this com parison shows: 1939 1941 Believe students dont drink too much .65% 61% Admit they drink (both men and. women) Opposed to prohibition THE DAILY COLLEGIAN u» * *» 60% 61% 78% 81% Letters to the Editor — Who Was Checked Off In 'The Checkoff'? Dear Old Maniac At two different periods in my own career, I have been respon sible for columns such as yours. I know how difficult it is to keep such things alive. Thus, I bear no grudge because your little “Checkoff” in the March 1 Col legian contains a mere trace of truth with a great deal which is misleading. I even understand the value of sarcasm and so for give it. Unfortunately, there really were two final examination blue books bearing the same name. I am still looking for an innocent explanation of that peculiar fact. I had hoped that the young man involved was try ing to help in the matter. Mean while, the grade of -2ab has nothing shameful or permanent about it. Apparently, you are less tender of the good name of the student than I am. You put him in an unfortunate position by • mentioning his name in connec tion with the strange pair of blue books. I would certainly not have done such a thing. While I am hoping for the_ innocent explan ation, I very ’ much fear that practically all of your readers will first get a good laugh out of the matter and then assign an obvious explanation which may be most unjust. Going to your last paragraph, I am happy to say that we don’t have any “similar ones.” Frank C. Whitmore, Dean of Chemistry and Physics Maniac Misinterprets The Military Law To The Editor: In the column of “The Maniac” in Saturday’s Daily Collegian there appeared an erroneous statement which is, I believe, of sufficient import to all Ameri can citizens to warrant public correction. The writer of this column as serted that in court-martial pro ceedings of the Army and Navy of the United States, the accused is assumed to be guilty until proved innocent. Although, this remark was purely incidental and without intent to mislead, it seems possible that it might leave in the minds of the readers a lasting impression which would be highly prejudicial to the mil itary services of the nation. Actually, quite the reverse of “The Maniac’s” statement is true, the law on the subject being as follows: ‘ln order to convict of an offense the court must be sat isfied, beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty there of.’ (From A MANUAL FOR COURTS - MARTIAL, . U. S. ARMY). Let no one have the impres sion, therefore, that should he ever become subject to military law, he will forfeit any of those inalienable rights to individual freedom and justice which he is preparing to defend.
