It Is reported to us, via Annabel
Abbott Wilson, former embryo so
cial worker in this institution,
.about one of those unfortunate
naming after deals. Fred Ware,
busy World Herald sports editor
and brother-in-law of our inform
ant, was interrupted just before
press time one day. The offender
was a 60 year old broken down
pug who had been much im
pressed with both Mr. and Mrs.
Ware through occasional contacts
In boxing circles. To Fred's dis
may he waxed garrulous.
"Guess who had a baby today."
"I'm sorry : I'm busy writing my
column. I can't take time to guess
with you. If you want to tell me,
all right."
"Okeh. I did."
"You? (Mrs. Pug is a grand
mother of 50l.
"Yes. And I'm going to name
her Clara Louise after your beau
tiful wife. 1 decided on that over
Biffine, for Biff Jones." 1
Weather Man Note.
Our most prolific and courtly
contributor ptoposed a slogan
for the weather in the midst of
those two-day downpours: "In
A E's Letters to Mininlabain'
just published by MacMillan, the
following sentence may interest
you 'The skies wept as if their
heart was broken and then they
went on sniffling like a child
which has cried its utmost and
goes on softly weeping just for
momentum's sake'."
More, on the Sally Situation.
When one campus menace gets
mixed up with another, the weaker
Inevitably gives way. So when

about Sarah Sally" Wolf he
blushed deeply and completely as
furiously as an S. A. E. All Amer

Peace and Plants.
We should know by now that
whenever spring fever or what
have you slows down the old
grey matter. Max Schnitter is
inspiration. His bouquets and
commentage on the world situa
tion can disbefog the muddiest
pate. Yesterday afternoon it
was his just blossoming Lily of
the Nile, direct from California.
This hyacinth blue flowered
member of the iris family is
lovely enough to make anyone's
handle-bar pete moustache qui
ver with pride."
But Max is more than a
workmanly career for plants, he
is a philosopher. And so he
saw fit to criticize the setting up
drills of a band of conscientious
objectors. "Look at those fel
lows," he exclaimed, "they don't
even drill to the count. If I were
the drill master, I'd show them.
When the bottom of our rabidly
pacifist heart we commented
that we felt all young men of
similar stripe were just lazy
good-for-nothings, trying to get
out of a little work, he added,
"Just let me have them for a
year. I'd teach them to drill or
else paddle their sitdowns."
And so. expressing the con
tention that they were probably
Communistic anyway, we de
parted. It's a bitter cross peace

POLIJIC CALLS
SHOTS ON IVY DAY
Council Opens Season on
Speaker Balloting So
Watch the Fun.
By Politicus VII.
It's a nice day today, but I
don't like the looks of that cloud
in the north. Wouldn't be surpriser
if it might blow up a storm to
night or tomorrow. There's always
a little bit of a storm after every
election but this looks like it might
be a real storm, like the ones we
have back home.
The Ivy day orator election was
thrown open to the entire campus
late last night. Previous announce
ments had declared only junior and
senior men eligible to check out a
ballot. The powers that be in the
student council called us last night
to tell us that after talking to Mr.
Lantz, council advisor, it was de
cided that everyone should be al
lowed to vote.
Let Women Elect Their Candidate.
President Arnold Levin justified
the unexpected declaration of a
campus-at-large election, in his
statement that "as long as the
student council accepted the nom
inaticn of a woman for the ora
tor's position, it deemed it only
just that the women on the cam
pus should be allowed to vote".
The sudden move is not entirely
without precedent, since eligibility
for voting for Ivy Day orator has
had a way of changing every year.
At times only seniors in the col
lege of law have been eligible,
largely because only legal seniors
have applied for the honor. In
other years, only junior and se
nior men have been issued orator
ballots, while again all men would
be declared eligible. Last year as
will be the case this year, the en
tire campus voted for the orator.
Might Be Vital Move.
Coming as the surprise that it
was, the opening of the election
is very apt to play an important
part in the outcome of the voting
when the ballots are checked to
night. With one woman, and that
woman Sarah Louise Meyer, going
to the post against three senior
lawyers, Charles Ledwith. Frank
Landis. and Miles Johnston, this
might have been a vital move. The
progressive faction had already
endorsed the candidacy of the
Meyer girl, and if the women on
the campus get out and vote it
looks like the one office on the
campus that heretofore has been

Council Declares Women
Eligible to Ballot
for Orators.
Today may be the last day in
which women on the campus will
have a hand in the selection of
Ivy day orator. Following the
precedent established last year,
Arnold Levin, student council
president, has thrown the election
open to the campus at large.
"In the past." Levin explained,
"the election of the Ivy day ora
tor has varied considerably in pro
cedure. In successive years the
Ivy day orator has been elected
bv the campus at large, by junior
and senior men only and by law
college only.
"Due to the precedent estab
lished last year when the entire
campus voted for the orator, the
student council this year is throw
ing the election open to every qual
ified voter on the campus.
"However, in order to set a
definite rule for election, it will be
proposed at the next student coun
cil meeting that 'only men will be
eligible for the position and that
only junior and senior men will be
eligible to vote.' Today, however,
the entire campus may vote for
the Ivy day orator."
