The Other 3,000
Figures from the Elections Committee show
Uiat more than 2,500 students voted in AU-College
elections during the last three days: That number
jci less than half the student population.

ktnce on the lack of student interest in . every-.

One Man's Meat
"No, Woody (short for Paul I. Woodland), I
won't do it," we told our dogmatic editor with
temporarily assumed bravado.
"You heard me. I mean, you want to get paid,
don't you? I mean, what would you like to do?"
our genial editor asked.
"I just don't wanta write a gossip column, I
want to be like Cassius, and say funny things
with big words like "inauspicious," and "icono
clastic," and anyway I don't like exclamation
points, and fraternity pins. leave me cold.
"I wanta be like Pegler, or Clapper, or even
Cassius. I wanta 'be profund."
Whereupon, an onlooker muttered something
about that "being as apropos as a burlesque chor
us made up of Dean Ray, Pete Highsmith, and girls
don't-have-fun-after-one-o'clock Dotty Brunner."
"Okay," Woody finally agreed, "you can have
the Friday morning slot—that'll give you all day
Thursday to work on them."
The similiarity of the heading of this column,
"one man's meat may be another man's poison,"
"one man's meat may be another man's poison,"
is easily explained. Last Fall Stan PoKempner
used the contraction for a head over .a remark
ably entertaining column. Lacking the adroitness
to steal one ourselves, we'll let Stan do the pla
garizing.
While campus politicians were endangering pas
sers-by in front of Old Main, Larry Chervenak,
of this paper, decided to look in on the proceed
ings.
Don Davis and the elections committee Gesta
po were busily over-looking the balloting.
Noticing that the familiar voting machines had
been supplanted by a quartet of wooden boxes,
Larry thought "what a chance for somebody with
ill intentions"—of course, he meant somebody
else.
Passing unnoticed through the back entrance,
Chervenak picked up the box containing the bal
lo'ts of the '45 contestants, walked out the back
door, and used the box as a seat for a few Mo
ments.
Returning to the poll chambers, our.practical
joker replaced the box unnoticed by the Gestapo
and made his way homeward. •
Allowing our imagination.to run away with us,
we wonder: "What would have happened if, in
stead of Chervenak, the joker had been say, Walt
Price?'
May we extend a loud guffaw to Rube Faloon for
the sarcastic retort thrown his way by Red Smith,
sports columnist of the Philadelphia Record.
Rube took offense to remarks Red made about
the Penn State football team. In his CDT sports
column, Rube .answered the . Record writer in no
uncertain terms.
Yesterday Smith 'answered our Rube. A master
of sarcasm Smith made Faloon—except in the
eyes of local sports writers—look slightly juve-
