One way we can all
push together
The DAILY'S policy
It will need support
The first attempt during this presidential election year to organize- tu
ticnt sentiment is under way, following the authorization of Democratic cam
paign headquarters to a university student to organize supporters of the New
Deal campaign.
This paper, representing many different points of view if a poll of its
staff members represents its total policy, will play a non-partial role in the
coming campaign. Its influence would probably be too small to sway anyone,
but it is an organ that may well serve its readers by urging them at least to
do something about exercising their rights as American citizens and as voters.
The organization which the Democrats hope 1o build up on this campus
may well he ihe initial organization (if its kind. There are many Willkie back
ers among Ihe student body and an organization started by them would be wel
comed, just as the Democratic group in welcomed. Those of you who are inter
ested at all in what's going to happen in this country would do well to affiljate
yourselves with groups whose ideas are the same as your own.
This is a student newspaper and it one policy, foremost in the minds of
those who edit it and determine its future, is to promote the welfare of Alili
university students and faculty members. Just how this policy is to be carried
out we cannot at present say. From time to time during ths year, the DAILY
will inaugurate projects in avi effort to solve problems that arise or that are
present in our system as it is now. order to work toward this end, the
DAILY needs and asks the cooperation of all campus leaders; of all students,
fraternity, sorority, and Harb; of faculty memWrs; and of friends of the uni
versity. In the near fulure, the DAILY will initiate an important campaign de
signed to aid hundreds of students who at present are troubled seriously wits
Ihe problem of how to live comfortably within the meaiiR at their disxsal. At
this writing we are not in the position to discuss details, but are attempting t
arouse interest which will blossom inlo support. I'ntil adequate ami accurate
facts and figures are obtained, the matter will remain one more or Urn
shrouded with secrecy only because there are those whose selfish interest may
interfere with the work proposed.

Writing a daily column shouldn't
be so hard, do you think?
Or do you?
Heck, the way we look at it,
anybody can write a column.
Trouble with most columns is that
they stick to one subject -like
sports or news. Consequently
they're limited as to material.
Now our idea is just to write
about anything, whenever we have
an idea -which ought to bring
this column out about once a year.
For instance, one day we may
decide to write about the interna
tional situation. Anybody can
write about the international sit
uation. Anybody can write about
that these days because nobody
understands it and anything you
say goes, xou can say Miuer is
going to grab Brazil or Green
land or the Bronx and, whether
he does or not, you'll be put down
as a wise seer. Hitler being the
guy he is, the chances are you'll
be right sooner or later.
Then, the minute you get in too
deeply, you can switch to another
subiect - fashions, football, the
movies, the modern eanopener
This keeps your readers from
catching on to the fact that you
know only what you read in Wal
ter Wine-hell's column.

When Oscar Wilde was touring
America, the story goes, Harper
A Brothers sent him a telegram
offering $.r0,000 for 50.0(H) words.
Oscar wired back: "I don't know
that many words"
That's the way we react to doing
this column. Looking at the white
paper to be filled in the weeks to
come if we're still here in the
weeks to come we feel like Ad
miral Byrd battling the Antarctic
wastes on behalf of Grape Nuts.
Gosh, think of it! Five columns
a week, 500 words or so each day.
That makes... hey, anybody etae
want this job?
After a thorough analysis of
way too many newspapers, con
ducted by a fourth cousin of Dr.

material used.

When it's one minute until dead
line and you're still in a state of
panic, you can always rill the
column with remarks like." "Who

Well, the old whirl is stalling again, kids, to the tune of the s(hool
bell, so don your jodhpurs and hold on tight for a grandstand finish
in June. A tip from one who has ridden for nigh on a year confi
dence in dress spells collegiate success. Psychology backs me up, for
when a gal feels confident that she is putting forth a good ap)ear
ance, she can devote her thoughts to higher learning and things.
