VOTING IS CAMPUS-WIDE
Rules Governing Selection
Of Heads Changed by
Council.
Evelyn West and Evelyn Simp
son have been named candidates
for presidency of the reorganized
Big Sister executive council and,
according to the new constitution,
will be elected at a campus-wide
election of all women students ot
the university Thursday at social
sciences. This announcement was
made public yesterday by the nom
inating committee composed o
present senior members of the
council.
Nominees for senior member
ships on the board are: sorority,
Aleen Neely and Mildred Dole; one
to be elected; non-sorority, Juliene
Deetken, Hazel Powell, Betsy
Benedict, Ruthalee Halloway, Ar
dath Pierce, Opalle Duhachek, of
which three are to be elected.
The discrepancy between the
number of sorority and non-sorority
nominees is accounted for by
the fact that since the constitution
provides that the ratio between
the two groups remain equal, and
since both candidates for the presi
dency are members of sororities,
and the defeated candidate re
mains a member of the board, such
procedure is necessary to abide by
the constitution. The senior rep
resentation on the board is fixed at
six.
Junior Nominees Named.
Gertrude Clarke, Margaret Up

for the two Junior positions to be
filled by sorority women. Delores

Eichelberger Gases Opinion
On Failure of U. S. to
Join Court.
A declaration that If war should
come tomorrow the nations of the
world will blame the United
States for the disaster, inasmuch
as America is the only important
nation that has refused to enter
the League of Nations, was mad a
by Clark M. Eichelberger, Friday
morning in a special university
convocation at the Temple.
The League of Nations, he said,
is hampered by the uncertainty of
the attitude of the United States,
and according to the speaker we
have a definite responsibility
toward our International obliga
tions to which we must open our
eyes.
"The problem of treaty revision,
and the problem of disarmament
are the two major international
problems that will have to be
solved tn the next ten years, and
I predict that the League of Na
tions will meet both problems and
solve them successfully," said Mr.
Eichelberger.
In illustration, Mr. Eichelberger
pointed out that after seven years
of work, the disarmament commit
tee of the league has called an in
ternational conference or Feb. 2.
1932, at which time representa
tives from all the nations of the
world will meet to discuss means
of limitation, and reduction of
armaments. ' "Limitation must
come before any definite means
of reduction can be undertaken,"
