Vatta Aai't Business Manacer Milton Hetti-aw Circulation Menag-er We find upon reflection that we have not said anything about the main topic of conversation at the present time football. Everybody is talking and thinking about it and here we have been trying to interest students in the student council, the need for traffic lights, froj-or treat ment of freshmen and the like. But what can one say about foot ball now? We can tell of the spirit of expectation that seems to electrify the campus, we can discuss the sched ule, tell of the hard work of the coaches and the squad, commend the "wonderful spirit of the reserves" and so on, but everyone knows all that. It seems to be the popular thing for editorial writers io lamont the fact that football hns taken such a hold on the public, thnt the college world is becoming crazed with foot ball, and that the main ambition of most colleges seems to be to turn out a winning football tam. But we can't seem to get excited over the situation. We realise that "some of us get highly evxited at a football game, that we often act very undignified, that we spend a great deal of time before and after the games in discussion of the games, but we somehow fail to see the danger. We confess to an u inexpressible feeling that goes up and down our spine when "that big red team comes on the field." We find it impossible to remain in our seats when the whis tle blows and the ball soars in the opening kickoff. When we leave the game we are as tired as if we had actually played in the game our selves. But wherein lie the danger? These things to which we freely confess seem to be the symptoms of the "football craze," that terrible dis ease which threatens to "gobble up"i our modern universities, but we have always managed to get through the season with no dire results despite a defeat or two. And the University seems to get along just about the same during football season as after or before it. ACTIVITY MADNESS (Syracvse Daily Or an fa.) Activity Madness, the Campus de mon, will soon be shaking off his sum mer lethargy and beginning to take his annual toll among' the members of the entering class. This week of fers a sudden but welcome release from the pressure of continually "do ing something," but with the immin ent reorganization of all Campus as sociations the new-found leisure is already doomed. Members of the entire four classes are acceptable prey to the demon but toward freshmen he bears particular malice and the havoc he wreaks in variably assumes serious and alarm ing proportions. Charmed with the prospect of a "college career." prod ded by energetic sisters and brothers, with an eye to the reputation of the house, into an organization in which they have little or no personv inter est, it is not many days before fresh men are victims of Activity Madness and an interminable nightmare of meetings, practices and sessions be gins. Blame for the conditioa is difficult to place. Personal amfnticn. genuine interest, competitive spirit, the prim itive desire for h nor and fame er pressed in terms of Campus publicity all share in the contributing caus es. The Chapter is not wholly at fault either. Some students need the en couragement of group backing in or der to help them r.it their poten tialities; still cihers need group re straint to prev.-nt the over indulgence of selfish aspirations. A common sense point cf view. with a recognition of the relative alue of activities to other college in terests, will do more toward the sup- Company K, Commanding Officer, Captain John B.

BJ78 llllllliiillllllllllllllllllllllHlilllllllllN We notice that the fall elections are going to be held soon and look forward to a day of real pleasure. There probably have not been more than two or three names filed for positions yet. About Friday morning there will be a big rush for the Student Activities office and out of the rush will come two candidates for each office, excepting Honorary Colonel, of course. ' Just about now "political bosses are getting their heads together and picking their candidates. Perhaps they are already picked. If not, they soon will be. At any rate there is always that mysterious number "two." Non-fraternity men hardly ever file any more. There isn't any use they have no organization and no chance of being elected. The women seldom try to compete with the fra rnity factions. There are a few of fices to be filled by women, the main one being that of Honorary Colonel, and they are usually content with running for those offices. Some day the non-frrternity men and possibly women sre going to get organized and then the fun w;il start. But at the present time it is just f i ht between two fraternity factions. 7 bese factions are very evenly di- vW?d, but no one seems to know why tSe division is as it is. There are no f-n.-fs, no reasons why one fraternity should vote, one way any more than other, except that it has been doTie that way for years. Fach fac tion swim to be organized to beat t .e other faction. Tke peculiar thing about these fj r:s is that they are not sup- ; e l to exist. The administration r.ot recognize them, in fact we v.n f.-rssaod that there is some harsh : for such swapping of votes is tjj,e by the factions. So the i-.fs and all transactions are con i., p j eircrtfUj and to the peer in t pcllic, the best man wins. R. O. T. C. Officers Assigned to Units (Continued from Page One.) Captain John T.
