Politicians `Keep it
Campus and Lion Parties for three days now
have been splashing paint on downtown win
dows and scattering to the winds printed praise
of their respective platforms and candidates.
And they will continue to do so until the
spring campaign spree ends on Monday.
But more important, the parties' nominees
are sctrrying from dorm to fraternity day and
night in an effort to pocket the popularity they
need to blast their opponents into "senior slump"
a year ahead of time.
Sometimes however, in search of winning
campaign oratory, candidates for office turn to
the personalities of the opposite party and its
nominees As easy as it is for this negative ap
proach to creep into any campaign, it is a defi
nite detr_rnent to good and responsible student
government.
A certain amount of examination of the posi
tive abilities and experience of each candidate
is permissible and even desirable.
But it is our contention that discussions or
rumors concerning such topics as race, religion,
and personal beliefs have no place in any cam
paign, particularly for nomination or election
to student offices. We hope the nominees and
party politicians will bar all such irrelevant
issues of personality from their oratory for the
remainder of the campaign,
Another favorite poll-pulling device seems to
be informal promises of radical changes in cam
pus institutions and administration policy which
student have about as much chance of ful
filling as they have of ending death, taxes and

Cut That Budget!
More and more people are becoming incensed
these days with the size of President Eisen
hower's federal budget.
The New York Times reported Sunday that
a survey of the mail of congressmen showed
that 75 per cent of the constituents are up in
arms h President Eisenhower because they
feel that his budget is far too high.
Yet, like every phase of running an efficient
government, this problem has many ramifica
tions and one golden solution has not appeared.
Everyone has his own interest and feels that
any money earmarked for other projects can
be sliced from the budget at relatively little cost.
Thus the average working man complains
to his congressman most vehemently about any
rumored increase in taxes. Big business inter
ests evince disgust with any similar hike in
corporate taxes. Some senators oppose foreign
aid while others scream about too much money
for federal cord building.
If a cut has to be made (and it undoubtedly

it is not unusual for him to pick it up again
and begin talking through it. Students except a
certain amount of this "the-sky's-the-limit"
oratory, but should not allow it to cloud their
thinking. . .
Narrow partisan policy and petty politics do
not enlighten the student body as to what their
leaders will do next year.
The All-University Elections Committee has
approved the party platforms as within the
scope of student government, and discussions
on the planks—if objective—should form a
basis for campaigning.
Quite some time ago, President James A. Gar
field said. "He serves his party best who serves
his country best."
It would not be incorrect, it seems to us, to
make an analogy in the direction of student
government.
We have no desire to lose our voter's appetite
by having candidates serving us dirt for dinner
or lunatic promises for lunch.
We believe the nominees can best win them
selves both the vote and the respect of the
students through an intelligent discussion of the
issues and ideas which are of real import and
on which All-University Cabinet can act next
year.
A clean campaign can make the painted win
dows and the' paper propaganda worthwhile.
But not only the nominees, but the entire stu
dent body and the reputation of student govern
ment stand to win or lose through the rest of
the week's political oratory. ,
will be) someone is going to complain and some-
one is going to suffer a drop in popularity.
A very good example of the confusion which
can come from demanding budget cuts on too
many items is a story run Monday in the Pitts
burgh Press.
It seems that Rep. John B. Bennett (R.-Mich.)
is one of 30 representatives in favor of cutting
federal spending in any way possible. Thus, the
story presumed, Bennett would be against such
things as House Bill 91 which asks for two bil
lion dollars for a 2300-mile highway between
Northern Michigan and Everett, Wash.
If this is so, Bennett, becomes something of a
hyprocrite—he introduced House Bill 91.
This only serves to point up, as the Press
story did, that on Capitol Hill "everybody's in
favor of economy—for the other fellow."
No Smell Next Fall
What happened, no smell? This will probably
be the common phrase next fall when the bad
odor around Sparks and the Library is not
evident.
On March 25 the Division of Landscape Con
struction and Maintenance will start spraying
to remove the larvae of the elm leaf beetle
which it has discovered to be the cause of the
horrible odor.
We don't know what the sudden inspiration
to get rid of the smell was. We do know, how
ever, that after years of complaints the student
body will greatly appreciate the riddance of
the imaginary skunk jungle around the two
buildings.
Perhaps the political parties missed a good
bet. Here's something that one could have
backed and have had the luck to have it turn
out successfully.

According to
Moyle
The student press at Stanford is dead!
A university of 7603 students is without its central means
of communication, the Stanford Daily.
On March 7 the staff of the
Stanford Daily walked out
leaving the university without
a student newspaper because of
oppressive action on the part of
the student governing body, the
Legislature (comparable to our
All-University Cabinet.)
We have been noticing all year
the battle being waged between
Dave Scott, Daily editor, and the
Legislature over the matter of
disapproval of the Daily editor.
Stanford's Legislature has been
trying all year to pass legislation
which would make the editor sub
ject to dismissal upon the sub
mission of a petition signed by
400 students and subject to a
vote of the Legislature.
' This means that slightly more
than 5 per cent of the Stanford
student body could get together
and have the Daily editor fired.
On March 6 the Legislature
passed this ruling, and the• next
morning's issue was the last at
Stanford. Screaming banner head
lines proclaimed to the student
body that the newspaper staff had
quit.
The issue was complete with a
front page editorial by the editor
which proclaimed:
"We're leaving. Legislature has
tried to force cooperation down
our throats. We've taken all the
abuse we could and we're sick of
it. The whole staff is walking out
and will not return until the pre
sent legislation is rescinded."
Although the Legislature
spokesman said although he
thought there would be no recall
of any editor for 10 years, the
ruling would keep the editor on
his toes, this ruling is just one
of the restrictions which are being
placed on the student press all
over the country.
Scott said in his editorial, "The
Last Straw," "three days before
the last issue there was an execu
tive session of the Legislature in
which the Daily editor was grilled
for the major mistakes which
THURSDAY. MARCH 14. 1957
by Bibler
by mike moyle
have occurred in the Daily for
the last few years."
If you recall the Collegian was
a subject for discussion a few
weeks ago because it was felt that
it was going downhill and that
too many mistakes were being
made.
Of course, we give Cabinet more
credit than to pass any such
silly legislation as was passed at
Stanford, but the similarity of
situations couldn't help but to
catch our eye.
