It's That Time Again!
The campaign is on!
The opening whistle sounded at midnight Sunday and,
according to the Elections Code, the battle for All-College,
Junior and Senior class officers has officially opened.
During the next week, the candidates and clique work
horses will be making the rounds of the dorms and Greek
les*er houses for the purposes of lining up the votes. Eadh
party be claiming that they have aid the best candidates
and urging a straight party wAe.
In campus politics, a straight slate is not needed for
the individual candidates to do a good job. After the elec
tion, party affiliation is usually forgotten. Members of one
party usually don't work to spite the other clique's elected
offieens. So it comes down to the fact that individual quali
ties are the most important thing to consider before casting
the bullets.
When the candidates come around to you foe your vote,
talk to them! Ask them questions! If they say they support
the Student Union ('and it's a tradition that they always
dee, tad out just what they plan
to do, how they plan to do
it, and if It can be done.
Another thing to -find out when you talk to those can
didates is where their first loyalty lies. At the clique meet
ings Sunday night, the large majority of office-seekers
wornisexi that their first deity was to the party. You know
that's not true. Their primary responsibility is to you—the
voter. gigues are merely the instruments set up to select
the best candidates.
Ibis election shookl be more than just another popu
lent* race. Quite a few of the candidates on both slates ail
newcomers to student government. It should make no dif
ference whether a candidate comes from a fraternity or a
campus dorm as long as he has the right ideas in which you
believe.
Find out aix>ist each of the candidates before you de
cide. The money he will be spending will be yours and the
rules he makes will affect you.—BlF

Carnegie vs. Sparks
TO THE EDITOR: If these two
i.uiklings were to have an argu
ment. I feel certain that Carnegie
would be victorious.
All one has to do is to take a
class in the Carnegie side of
Sparks to know what I am driving
at. I auspeot that Carnage is using
the horn-blowing tactis of Gideon.
the Biblical General. a s h e
swooped down upon the enemy
under the fanfare of raucous and
inconsistent horns—l don't won
der that they were routed.
I'm sure that the Administri
t:ve Officials would regis'ce: a
complaint to the Music Depart
ment if they were to try to do
their daily chores in the offices
situated in the Carnegie side of
Sparks.
I realize that the Music lovers
must practice: but also, the great

A Job for John L.
TO THE EDITOR: Apropos the
Russian problem and the coal
strike I cannot contain myself...
The U.S. Government can save
the country plenty of grief sim
ply by recognizing and putting to
use the obvious attributes of John
L. Lewis. John L. is a natural for
bolstering our forces in negotia
tion with the Russians.
Washington seems . to be having
tremendous difficulty not only in
understanding the Russian mind
but in effecting a strategy to cope
with Russian tactics. Therefore I
suggest that the government Lring
Mr. Lewis into the State Depart
ment where his redoubtable suc
cess .s a negotiator might cause
some demcsalization in the
Kremlin .
In a direct test with Joe Stalin
himself the odds are all with Mr.
Lewis. for Lewis could °Aber
gain, out-yell, out-confuse, anJ
out-live 'Uncle Joe. Besides he's
bigger and as stubborn as any of
the Russians.
As one last Parting gesture
his faithful followers, he would
magnanimously, with Shake
spearean phrase. say the magic
words which would send them
back to mining coal. The govern
ment can't lose!
