Successor to the Free Lance, Established 1887 VOL. 37—-No. 99 Political Leaders Enter Last Lap In Vote-Getting By ROSS B. LEHMAN Political fervor will reach its zenith this weekend as Campus and Independent cliques polish up flaws in their campaign tech niques and prepare for the vote getting drive for All-College elections nekt Tuesday, Wednes day, and Thursday. In' a local theatre last night, both parties staged a brief pol itical rally, featured by a Campus hill-billy orchestra and an In dependent group of speakers. Gerald F. Doherty ’42, All- College vice-president nominee and chairman of the Independent party, discounted a rumor last night that Robert D. Baird ’42, his presidential running mate, would be called by the draft this summer, thus creating a vacancy in case he would be elected. “Baird has received assurance from an officer in the United States Marine Reserve,” Doherty stated, “that he has an exception ally good chance for acceptance in a platoon leaders class’, which is exempted from the draft. “This eliminates the draft issue in the present campaign,” Doh erty added, “because only sum mer training is necessary for a second lieutenant’s commission which will be effective after graduation.” A final itemized list of ex-; penditures and receipted bills must be submitted at Student Union by Mon Monday, the Elections' Committee, has stipu . lated. The'committee also warned over-zealous .party workers that -campaigning in Old Main is for bidden and destruction of plac ards will not be tolerated.

Every member of our commit tee, past or present, with whom I have talked hopes' that some class will devote its gift to this purpose because we have seen vividly how serious is the need of so many of our students and how sufficient are the.-funds of the College available to aid them.

Prof, of Fine Arls Next week the Class of 1941 will choose for its class memorial either a student loan fund or murals for the balcony of Old Main Lobby. It scarcely seems necessary to present the case for the murals to those who have followed the Collegian this year, but for last-minute consideration it may be' well briefly to explain the project. The large mural over the stairs in Old Main has always been con sidered as the first of a series of paintings,-the rest of which will be carried Completely around the balcony walls. Following the theme-set by the first picture, which dramatizes the origins of the College and the ideals under which it was founded, the pro posed new paintings will be brought down to our own times, presenting a contemporary sum mary of all the various functions of the institution and its services to the commonwealth.
