He Who Hesitates . . . Can't Vote
Campus political activities will start out in
low gear Sunday night with praminary nomi
nations for clique officers, but many students
are probably planning to wait until the band
wagon is rolling in high before hopping aboard.
It will be too late then.
Any good citizen realizes that it is almost as
important to vote in the primary election as it
is to vote in the final election.
In order to vote in the primary a citizen must
register as a member of one of the political
parties. By doing so, he does not necessarily
obligate himself to support that party's candi
date, but he does assure himself a voice in the
selection of the party's candidate.
Attending and voting in the clique meetings
can be compared to participating in primary
elections.
In order to have a voice in selecting a party's
candidate for class office, a student must attend
one of the two meetings preceding the final
nomination and election meeting.

Who Do You Know?
Prospective Centennial Committee members
beware! If you are a member of a fraternity
or sorority hide that fact, travel incognito, if
necessary.
For the Cabinet Personnel Interviewing Com
mittee is on the lookout for you. It has issued
a warning to all candidates for the six avail
able positions on the Centennial Committee
that fraternity or sorority pins may not be
worn at the Tuesday night interviews.
CPIC members are evidently concerned over
the fact that they may recognize members of
their own sorority or fraternity and thus be-
come biased in their choice of committee mem-
Of course if candidates do not wear their
pins then no one else will know if a candidate
is affiliated with a member of CPIC.
What a dilemma.

would be wise to voice their opinions through

France Suffers .
Colonial Crisis
By WILLIAM L. RYAN
AP Foreign News Analyst
Less than three weeks before the scheduled opening of
he four-power foreign ministers' conference, France is amid
a full-blown crisis that can knock Western strategy into a
cocked hat.
What is happening to France seems not so much the up
rising of nationalism in her empire, but civil strife involving
the French diehard colonialists in
North Africa and their support-'
ers in metropolitan France with
those Frenchmen who sought and
still' are seeking desperately. for
ways to end the strife short of
disaster.
Much French business and much
of France's very economy de
pends upon the North African,
protectorates and Algeria. which
Paris says is part of metropolitan
France. Therefore there is stub
born and powerful support in
Paris for the firm-hand colonials.
But there are many -French inside
and outside North Africa who
favor even more far-reaching re
forms than those proposed by.
the Faure government. Among
these French are those who see
only two alternatives—significant
home rule concessions or total
loss of North Americ'a
Separation of North Africa
from the French Union would
be a major disaster for France.
It could lead to chaos inside
metropOlitan France herself.
Yet in the midst of the bitter
quarrel over what is needed to
pacify North Africa, time is
rapidly running out and
France's authority continues to
slip in the pattern established
in Indochina.
The effects already are being

France's troubles in Algeria are
