Big-time Battle
When the special junior class election was
first authorized by Cabinet, campus politicians
were pretty generally of the opinion that it would
be a rather mild affair,
Acting accordingly, the •Elections Committee
'recommended—and Cabinet passed—regulations
forbidding the usual campaign expense accounts,
eliminating the traditional Elections Committee
posters, and shortening the campaign period and
)ength of time for balloting.
After all, they maintained, the term in office
for new class chieftains would be less than two
Toonths, and preparations for liovember's All-Col
•lege elections would require most of the poli
.tico'S attention. Anyway, the Junior. class presi
dent's appointments between •now and the All-
College elections would be practically negligible,
7zo party ward-heelers will be far less anxious to
:1 - . )ound their beats.
The bang 7 up batte that has developed within
the past few days has proved the political dope.
;tern to be wrong. For, no matter what was hoped
for or expected, junior class politicians took a dif
ferent view of the coming contest.
The very nearness of November's All-College
contest accounts for a good deal of the importance
placed on Friday's battle. Members of both junior
"cliques know that a win now will help develop a
"victory tradition" that brings with it the support
*of that sizeable bloc of floating-voters who like
to ride along with the winner.
They feel that the winning candidates in the
.present contest will make ideal victory material
in the All-College battle—fresh in the minds of
the voters and with a excellent chance of remain
ing there in the period between now and mid-
November.
Final assurance that the battle would assume
*major proportions came when both junior parties,
apparently realizing the importance of a win
now, tried for a surprise knockout by nominating
four top-flight candidates rather than saving them
:for the full-term election.
The so-called "minor addition" that was spliced
'on the regular freshman elections has gone strictly
"big-time"; from a political standpoint alone, it
rates the attention of every junior. —L. T. C.
The Axis Hitch-hiker
In line with the "cut corners" policy, national
s, rap drives, conservation of essential war ma
•torials, and rationing of tires and gasoline, this
paper would like to be put on record for making
the suggestion that a certain group of students
save both tires and gasoline by walking to class
•instead of riding.
' There is a decided distinction in being able to
;bop out of an automo bile while other students are
walking to their 8 o'clock class, but how much is
this distinction worth in terms of the war effort?
.A.fterall, Axis hitch-hiker now rides with the non
essential automobile driver,
Ws easy enough to see the necessity of riding
to class when the student lives out of town and
joust commute, but if other boys in the local fra
-I,,rnity or boarding house, and other people in
your neighborhood can walk to class, then there
no reason under the sun why a non-essential

Concerning Wolves
We were too busy last week organizing the
CTGCSD (the Committee To Get Campy Some
Dates) to have much time for gossip. In fact, we
didn't even bother to investigate' the rumor that,
chio Mary Thompson had returned Art Christ
man's deltachi (We've always suspected that these
whirlwind conquests don't last long.)
, But just as we had decided to run a lull column
of white space,an Irvin Hall frosh slipped this
poem under our door. It isn't very filthy, but we're
printing it anyway because it's unique—it actual
ly has meter.
If he parks his little flivver
Down beside the moonlit rives
And you feel him all aquiver
Baby, he's . a WOLF!!
If he says you're gorgeous loOkin'
And your blue eyes set him cookin'
But your eyes aren't where he's lookin'
Baby, he's a WOLF!!
If he says that you're an eyeful
But his hands begin to trifle
And his heart pumps like a'rifle
Baby, he's a WOLF!!
If by choice when you're a-kissin'
You can feel his heart a-missin'
And you talk, but he won't listen
Baby, he's a WOLF!!
If his arms are strong and sinew
And he stirs the gypsy in you
And you want him close agin you
Baby, YOU'RE THE WOLF!!!
Gripe 01 The Week
Nearly every time we drop' in at Student Union
to get the real lowdown on 'the second front,
skirts, politics, and life in general from George
DonoVan,f we see a number or students repr6ach-fully (even indignantly) berateing StUdent• Union.
'for failing to find the bok, raincoat, or false teeth
they have lost,
We can forgive these studes for.walking around
in a ,daze and leaving their belongings scattered
all over the campus; maybe they're in love. But
we wonder how those stupid, lame-brained . . .

get theft lost articles back if they don't have

The Story y Of 'La Boheme'
Editor's Note: Because so few
students are familiar with the
story of Puccini's opera, "La
Bo'heme," . The belly Collegian
is here publishing the first of
two installments of a condensed
outine of the plot.
The outline appears as it was
explained by Laszlo J. Hetenyi
'43 who will illustrate and ex
plain many of the themes in
121 Sparks at 7 o'clock tonight.
Characters of the story are a
representative group of Bohem
ians who live in an attic in the
Latin quarter of Paris. Included
among them are a poet, Rodolpho,
and a painter, Marcel, around
whom the plot centers. ;Wually
in dire financial straits the group
almiays has a celebration when
they come into some money
through some odd jobs.
The incident takes place at one
of these times as most of the group
has gone to the Cafe Momus to
celebrate Christmas. Rodolpho,
