Council Elections
Are Important to All
The balloting in the All-College elections
was good, but could and should have been
.still better. The. voting dulies of the students,
however, are not yet over. Somewhat over
shadowed by the All-College elections are the
elections of the student councils lo be held
in six of the undergraduate schools of the
College next week.
Results in the past few years have been dis
couragingly poor. Last year, for instance, only
29 per cent of those eligible to vote did so. The
year before, an unprecedented 30 per cent of
the students voted.
Perhaps one of the chief reasons why there is
such indifference to the student council elec
tions is that few people realize the importance
of the councils. In the first place, they are one
of the most direct means of conveying- student
opinion to All-College Cabinet. The students
who make up the councils have more of a
chance to mingle with- the general students
than do the class and All-College officers, and
thus can better take the pulse of student feel
ing.
Your vote in the council elections determines,
either directly or indirectly, the president of
the council in your school. He, in turn, gives
you another voice on All-College Cabinet.
In the cabinet budget for the 1952-53 school
year, $l5OO has been set aside for distribution
to the student councils. The councils may use
this money in whatever way they see fit. Most
of them use the funds to sponsor school mix-,
ers or publications like the "Ag Hill Breeze"
or the "LA Angles." but the mere presence
of the money. should be enough to ' arouse
more than a 30 per cent vote.
The councils are also the main go-betweens
for the students and the faculty. The people
elected to the councils are the people who will
be charged with the responsibility of trying
to build better student-faculty' relations. The
close contact between the councils and the
deans of the schools often helps in determin
ing policies which may affect all the students
in the respective schools.
The students who are now being nominated
for council positions may have shown that they
are interested in the work. Surely it is not
asking too much of students to take a few min
utes out to cast a ballot

Nod in Registration
The overall plan behind the new registration
. system set up by the College should be given
a chance to prove, itself, for until . the system
is once in operation it will be impossible to
tell just how workable it will be. Although
resembling the old board of control in some
ways, it is not a duplication of that system.
There is one factor of fhe program; how
ever, which Should ,be changed-'before next
fall!
Under the registration plan, juniors will reg-'
ist&r simultaneously with seniors, A-Ow in
both classes registering, the first day and the _
remainder the second.
Since no preregisfration system will be in
operation the section size will be limited in a
great many cases, which might very easily
mean that seniors, scheduled to. register late
on the second day will find the sections they
need already filled by juniors.
When seventh or eighth semester" arrives
there is usually little leeway for a student
revising his schedule. The closing of a section
to him might very well mean' that he will not
have an opportunity to schedule that course
again. •
A change should, be effected to allow seniors
to register as early as possible on the first day.
Since the combined junior and senior classes
are now scheduled'to complete registration in
a day and one-half, it might be presumed that
the entire senior class could be processed by
2 or 3 p.m. of the first day.

"Like I say, Worihal when you come
in late you disturb . the whole class."
Basic in the human race is the instinct" to perpetuate oneself.
Equally basic in the writer is the instinct, upon the least glimmer
of an opportunity, to become purple. These two urges come together
in glorious misinating when the journalist comes to his Last.
It doesn’t matter what Last is involved; it may be the last time
he will appear on page 28 because beginning Monday , his column
will move to 27. It may be the
last time he will be printed in
seven and one half point type,
because the paper is converting to
eight point.
Or it may even be the last
lime.he will ever write a Bonn
Mot.
In the latter case, though, there
is a renewed operation of the
immortality drive, manifested in
the wish to write something For
Those Who Follow After. .
We’ve mentioned Stephen Pot
ter’s essays on Gamesmanship
(The Art of Winning Games With
out Actually Cheating) before in
this column. For a last rather
superior bow in the direction of
College journalism, we’ve com
piled here a few gambits and
ploys for the aspiring collegiate"
Gamesman.
The first essential section of
this text must deal, perforce,
with subjugation and correction
of the prof.
Of interest to the novice is what
Carruthers, of Drech Tech, has
termed Avoidmanship play. This
consists entirely in avoiding the
chance meeting of the professor’s
eyes with that of the Gamesman,

on the usually tenable-.hypothesis
that the prof’s mind, with that of
Other lower vertebrates, -is in
capable of conceptualizing any
thing not in the direct range of
vision. It is said" that Carruthers
himself was so successful in
avoiding recitation in this way
that, by his seventh semester he
could at will stare intently at a
shoelace with his left eye while
earnestly following the flight of
up to three Japanese beetles simu
taneously with the right. Other
ordinary targets of the Avoid
man’s glance include the lfeft ear
of the man obliquely in fi?ont of
him (but never of the man directly
in front), and any diagonal crack
in the plaster not more than two
nor less one foot from either for
ward corner of the room. .In ex
treme situations, the Gamesman
may even regard a textbook,
though being careful to look at
it, not read it. Bottomley at Pea U.
introduced a promising ploy. He
managed to stare unwinkingly
for 13 weeks at the professor’s
own brief case, which was habitu
ally tossed into the front left hand
