page .four Campus Sweeps Elect! Except All-College Po Loan Fund Selected As Class Of '4l Gift (Continued from Page One) clinching the sophomore presi dency and vice-presidency, along with Margaret L. Campsey as secretary and Thomas J. Good win as treasurer. A record vote of approximate ly 1650 yesterday (for the day' ravelled the total to 3.175 ballots for the All-College office, as compared with 3,348 last year. Penalties of five votes apiece were deducted from the totals of aIL ’42 Campus and Independent Candidates and from ’44 Campus candidates. All penalties were assessed for failure to turn in ac counts of election expenditures on time. * * * BUM Coed Interested! lifii Campus Elections Outstanding recognition for in ix-rest in All-College elections goes to Kathryn M. Youorski ’44, blind student, who voted in final balloting yesterday. With 3,175 voters this year, the total fell 183 short of last year’s 3,358. Two students from Buda pest, Hungary and one from Con stantinople, Turkey checked in at the polls. Interest in voting increased as the weather cleared and the rush during the last few of the 24 hours the polls were open .warnped members of the elec tions committee. Charles H. Ridenour ’43 who voted when paper ballots were used Tuesday, when handed a slip for junior officers, looked, scratched his head, and returned asking. “Have you run out of sophomore 'ballots?” One query (mainly from fe males) swamped committee members “No, Pm not stuck, .but how do I get out of here?” Little Gerald P. Doherty ’42, new All-College vice-president gets the prize for conscientious remarks. When he ordered three eggs for particular Atherton Hall misses last night at dinner, he nonohantlv requested, “Three votes, please.” s|: * * College Backs Tribunal k Elections Fraud The penalty levied by Student Tribunal Wednesday night on two students involved in an elec tion vote fraud was upheld in a precedent-setting action yes terday by a three-man commit tee of the administration. As a -result Philip Martsolf '42, who tried to vote illegally, and Ernest F. Marshall '42, who lent his matriculation card and AA hook, will be suspended from classes one week and suspended permanently from extra-cumc ular activities. Future penalties should be checked by a student-faculty committee, the administration committee suggested. The com mittee included A. R. Warnock, dean of men; A. O. Morse, in charge of resident instruction; mid H. P. Hammond, dean of the School of Engineering, in -which the two students are enrolled. f wish to thank everyone who had any part in electing me to the All-College presi dency. I don't believe i could have run against a finer gen tleman than Charles Mattern. ROBERT .BAIRD lew Vice-President Gerald P. Doherty ’42, (I), was elected new All-College vice president as elections closed last night. He polled 1,671 votes to 1.504 for Peter B. Krones '42, (C), his opponent. Viewing The Draft By JOHN A. BAEH If passed by Congress, the plan to limit compulsory military training to men between the ages of 21 and 25 would undoubtedly hit college students harder than any other single group. The plan, as broached bv Se lective Service officials, would make it possible to reorganize the entire draft setup under the Eu ropean system—calling all men for service when they reach a specific age. It is based on the theory that the United States will remain at peace but that a large trained military reserve will be necessary in case of an emerg ency. If the plan is adopted, about 1,100,000 would register annually. The actual number of draftees — allowing for deferments —would be about 800,000 a year. After the system had been in effect a few years, the United States would have a reserve force of between 4,000,000 and 5,000,000 young men. The plan is closely connected with the “American Legion" bill to set the limits at 18 and 21 years of age. For all practical purposes there is no need to dis tinguish -between the two plans. The limits might be anywhere between 18 and 25. If any specific age between tiiese two limits were set it would probably have one of three ef fects on -colleges and college stu dents. 1. Young men just graduated from preparatory schools might decide to forego college until after their year of military train ing. If 18 were set as the specific age for all men to start training, this -course of action would prob ably be preferred by the great majority. 2. If the specific age were set at 20 or 21, college students might be, permitted to defer training until after graduation. This, however, would probably be op posed on .the grounds that it grants a certain class of people rights not accorded -to others. 3. There is a remote possibility that students might be allowed to substitute four years of ROTC, summer training or a combina tion of both for one solid year of service. This has been pro Dosed before and has been defeated be cause Army officers say that men trained bit by bit are not as fully prepared as those who see continuous service.

We, The Women A Progressive Senate Steps Aside One of the most progressive WSGA Senates stepped aside re cently to make room for a new group of women’s leaders which had just been elected. Progres sive because: 1.. Exactly one year a Senate committee has been working to produce an infallible point sys tem. Almost completed, the system will go into effect next year and will apportion coed ac tivities. 2. In face of the tragedy which struck the campus last Spring, members of Senate re mained calm and recommended only minor revisions in coed reg ulations. The most important of these was that women students must sign in their dormitories at lip. m. at the close of vacations. 3. Junior Service Board. which members of the past Sen ate boosted, conducted numerous worthy service projects. 4. When 1.800 of their male classmates registered for the draft, Senate recognized the part women must play in the natiqnal emergency and distributed wool and needles to coeds which were turned into clothing articles for the British army and navy. 5. In the All-College relief campaign, women’s contribu tions totaled more than men’s, due, in part, to efficient canvass ing-by women. 6> Senate encouraged partici pation in student government with the result that a record number of votes was cast in the primary and final elections.- 7. Early election dates were set so that old Senate members could work along with the new group in an advisory capacity. 8. All problems were intelli gently discussed and efficiently handled to the best interests of the entire women’s student body. The new Senate may look at the record of their predecessors as one of efficiency and intelli gence—it will be hard to beat.
