Editorial . . .
To the Innocents
Yesterday the men oC this campus selected their nominees
for your successors. Today, tomorrow, perhaps next week, you
will select the final group who will wear the red rohes in 1940.
If you truly deserve to show your lmdge as an Innocent,
if you truly qualify as a member of that organization, you will
have the courage to choose these twelve men:
Roger Cunningham
Adna Dobson
Richard DeBrown
Merrill Englund
Orval Hager
Harold Niemann
Roy Proffitt
Ralph Reed
Edwin Rousek
Irvin Sherman
Fred Stiner
Grant Thomas
Innocents, to make this selection will take more courage
than has ever been displayed by any group of your predeces
sors. These men are advocated without reference to political
affiliation or regard to social fraternity.
From the vantage point of view afforded the editor of the
DAILY NEI.HASKAX, these men have proved themselves most
fully imbued with the admirable qualities sought by the men
who founded your organization. They have shown leadership.

Mystery of the day What hap
pened to the Kosmet Klub's "Alias
Aladdin"- banner that has hung
over the front door of the Temple
the first days of the show? It's
not a "pick up" that souvenir
hunters might want for the wall
nor is it Beta property that the
Phi Delts might carry off for
spite. Yet this 15 by 20 foot can
vas with a 2 by 4 nailed, glued,
and wired to the bottom has
somehow disappeared.
The thiefs, presuming that it
was stolen, must have wanted it
badly to climb to the third floor
balcony, loosen chains and tear off
the eyelets fastening the canvas
to th top and lower it to the
ground. More surprising than this
is the fict that no one saw the
thugs at work, since the canvas,
if the reports are correct that it
was hanging tight this morning,
must nave been thuggd in broad
daylight.
Anybody knowing of the ban
ner's whereabouts or who may
have clues as to the manner in
which it disappeared ate requested
to report to the Kosmet Klub de
tectives at once.

I voted yesterday.
No bombs or cr;;s marred tin
peace of the polls as I stepped up
to cast my meager ballot. Not a
club was wielded; not a fist
threatened me. In fact. I guess, no
one gave a damn whether I voted
or not.
I'm kind on the sly side, so I
went in backward thinking that
they might think that I was com
ing out and hence I could vote
twice. But I was fooled. I got in
all right but when I went up to
the desk to get the ballot some
father's child says, "Where's the
identification card, bud." Well, I
don't like to be called "bud" be
cause it reminds of roses, and
roses remind of thorns, and I don't
like thorns, and I was going to
tell him so, but I didn't. He evi
dently was having a hard day of
it for he I Hiked the part.
I handed him the identification
card aft.-r I turned the photograph
upside down because it looks more
like me that way. The fellow took
