Election Surve Still Shows
Average Student

Students continued to show their lack of knowledge con
cerning next week's student election in the second clay of an
infoi mal Daily Collegian survey.

Next Monday, on the eve of
spring elections, The Daily Col
legian will conduct a survey
similar to the one conducted in
the past two days. The survey
will attempt to determine how
much information about the
elections students will be tak
ing into the voting booths.
Only 17 students polled yester-,
day had any idea of what the pro
posed reorganization set-up would
be. This repre
sented 11 per
Collegian cent of the 150
polled. On the
first day of the
survey 25 of 65
polled, or 38 per
Public
cent, knew about
Affairs the proposed
plan.
A total of 29
Analysis per cent of those'
polled during
the two days
knew that the
reorganization issue was included
in next week's election. Yester
day, 46 out of the 150 surveyed
knew about the referendum.
Similarly, in both days of the
survey, 29 per cent said they
would not vote. However, on the
basis of figures from previous
elections it is more likely this
will be closer to the percentage
that actually cast ballots.
Thirty-nine persons said yes
terday they would not vote,
bringing the 2-day total to 64 out
of 215 polled
Everything isn't looking down
however, as the number know
ing none of the present All-
University officers declined in
proportion to the number poll
ed. Yesterday only 17 out of
ISO could not name any of the
officers while Wednesday 16 of
65 could not come up with a
single name.
The knowledge that Jay Feld
stein is the All-University presi
dent declined yesterday while a
great increase in recognition came
with the office of All-University
secretary-treasurer.

number polled the first day were,
~ urveyed yesterday, only six more
could name Feldstein. However,
John Gingrich was named five :
times as often as he was the first
clay.
The total recognition for the
two days, out of 215 polled, was
108 tot Feldstein, 19 for Gingt ich
and 40 for All-University Vice .
President Stephen Garban.
In response to questions only
asked yesterday 10 per cent, or
15, said they had been to an All-
University Cabinet meeting.
There is a good chance that
most of the others will never
see one, due to the fact if the
reorganization plan is passed it
will go out of existence.
Sixty-three persons said they
had read at least one of the ex
planations of the reorganization
plan in The Daily Collegian. How
ever, some of these people were
not able to explain everything
about the plan.
The survey made no attempt to
find out how many articles they
had read or how much they had
retained.
It is interesting to note that
while 24 persons said they had
been in some form of student
government, many of them could
not answer some of the other
questions.

sophomores, 24 per cent and fresh

The other day as I was walking down the street picking up
tinfoil, (Marlboro, incidentally, has the best tinfoil, which is
not surprising when you consider that they have the best ciga
rettes, which is not surprising when you consider that they take
the best filters and put them together with the best tobaccos
and rush them to your tobacco counter, fresh and firm and
loaded with smoking pleasure). The other day, I say, as I was
walking down the street picking up tinfoil, (I have, incidentally,
the second largest ball of tinfoil in our family. My brother
Eleanor's is bigger—more than four miles in diameter—but, of
course, he is taller than I). The other day, as I was saying, while
walking down the street picking up tinfoil, I passed a campus
and right beside it, a movie theatre which specialized in show
ing foreign films. Most campuses have foreign movie theatres
close by, because foreign movies are full of culture, art, and
esoterica, and where is culture more rife, art more rampant,
and esoterica more endemic than on a campus?
Nowhere; that's whore.

I hope you have all been taking advantage of your local foreign
film theatre. Here you will find no simple-minded Hollywood
products, marked by treacly sentimentality and machine-made
bravura. Here you will find life itself —in all its grimness, ita
poverty, its naked, raw passion!
Have you, for instance, seen the recent French import, 14
Crayon de Mon Uncle ("The Kneecap"), a savage and uncom
promising story of a man named Claude, whose consuming
ambition is to get a job as a meter reader with the Paris water
department? But he is unable, alas, to afford the flashlight
one needs for this position. His wife, Bon-Bon, sells her hair
to a wigmaker and buys him a flashlight. Then, alas, Claude
discovers that one also requires a leatherette bow tie. This time
his two young daughters, Caramel and Nougat, sell their hair
to a wigmaker. So now Claude has his leatherette bow tie,
but now, alas, his flashlight battery is burned out and the
whole family, alas, is bald.
Or have you seen the latest Italian masterpiece, La Donna II
Mobile (I Ache All Over), a heart-shattering tale of a boy and
his dog? Malvolio, a Venetian lad of nine, loves his little dog
with every fibre of his being. He has one great dream: to enter
the dog in the annual Venetian dog show. But this, alas, requires
an entrance fee, and Malvolio, alas, is penniless. However, he
saves and scrimps and steals and finally gets enough together
to enter the dog in the show. The dog, alas, comes in twenty
third. Malvolio sells him to a vivisectionist.
Or have you seen the new Japanese triumph, Kibutzi-Saa
(The Radish), a pulse-stirring historical romance about Yamoto,
a poor farmer, and his daughter Ethel who are accosted by a
warlord one morning on their way to market? The warlord outs
Yamoto in half with his samurai sword and runs off with Ethel.
When Yamoto recovers, he seeks out Ethel's flaw% Red
Buttons, and together they find the warlord and kill him. But,
alas, the warlord was also a sorcerer and he whimsically turned
Ethel into a whooping crane. Loyal Red Buttons takes Ethel.
home where he feeds her fish heads for twenty years and keeps
hoping she'll turn book into a woman. She never does. Alas.
