Bob I'helpn FRITZ HIMPSON KDITOR -JJ Meddling With Mellck By M. J. Faculty Members Tell Views On 1948 Presidential Race BY HERB DENENBERG Faculty comment on the election was of a million varieties. Here are seven of those varieties from men found in the Political Science department and I hilosopny department offices: Dr T F Storer, Fhilosophy department: The most significant thing about the elections, in my opinion, is the failure of the recognized statistical techniques to pre dict accurate results. I believe this will be generally the case with all attempts to find laws governing human be havior. As soon as the law, and its predictions, are dis covered, these factors become new, unconsidered elements and thus render the previously discovered laws invalid. C J Schneider, Political Science department: This should teach everybody not to make predictions on football games or elections. G. Krebs, Political Science department: I nope he (Truman) will push his civil rights program. P Spielberg, Philosophy department: It was reported to me' that Winchcll's explanation of the surprise results was as follows: The predictions of the poll-takers con- j - rA,Mano flint TVwev was a shoo-in, SO Yinceu many n.tjuunc.w ......w ... . ., , they voted Democratic. This seems to me like saying that ( lots of people had been yearning to vote Democratic for j years and years and now when it looked safe, they did. j Ivan Pondel, Political Science department (reader) : The : thin that impressed me most about the election is that one man virtually single-handedly through his refusal to j admit defeat could overcome such odds with no support from the party which was morally bound to give him help. I think his position as a man fighting against such odds created his appeal to the American people. . j ti t mr.n Political Science decartment: I think the most significant thing about the election is the fact that the public repudiation of the 80th Congress carried with it a Democratic victory." Dr. W. H. Werkmeister, head of the Philosophy depart ment: The more support the President has, the better it is, because the party program can be carried through and the party can be pinned down for its actions. BY BI D DOWNING. Well, another 'week has "flew" by . . . and what a week it was, what with Homecoming and all. One of Ihe main hifihlighls w.is the party it Barbara Zcnier's Saturday night after the big dance. Everyone was there and everyone had a "whec" ol a time. Jerry Ferguson wishes that a "certain little Lincoln girl" would give up the "Quest" that she has been on for the last couple of weeks. Jerry says that his in terest is now in the Delta Gamma house. Her initials are J. C. (those of his interest, that is). Then there is the one about Martha DeLong and her horses. It seems that Martha took her horses to Kansas City to show them off a few weeks ago, and they con tracted some sort of sickness. Now Martha can really sympa thize with her prodigies because she has the same illness and is taking the same medicine as her belov ed horses. Jack Donaldson came from Wayne on Saturday to help make "Candy" Jones' week-end a most enjoyable one. Nancy Clark wants a date with a Thi belt. ; (Not any particular Thi Dolt, just any old Thi Delt). Interested parties call 2-1926. Wilma "Wimpy" Washington warns all young girls about "the ways of college men." She was on the" verge of going steady with a fellow but was talked out of it by James Irvin. Now she is won dering about her decision . . . James hasn't called her since. GOING: Ann Webster and Taul Hart man. Laura Schcrff and Gene Snooks. Del llolstein and Bill Coffee. Nancy Glynn and Don I instrom (Sorrv. Bob). GONE: Shirley Sabin and Karl Quiscn berry.

Wed like to pavs said commentary along to our readcrs-we can dream, can t wc but most of it cannot be phrased in language which even ap proaches delicacy. - Since we're dealing in wishful thinking here s what wed do. If we were the winners of the men's Homecoming decoration, wed find out what happened to our trophy on Saturday night ' provided it's a mystery. If we weie a women's house in the same competition wed be "spun around" by our ability to wield a hammer-provided we wielded it. If we were certain Kosmet Klub members we'd never be able to figure out how our own fraternities made the show. If we were a Republican we'd be floored we are. If we were the Union that would be tricky we'd close the Crib from 11 to 12 on Friday. . If we were the Cadet Corns we d be afraid to announce price of the tickets for the Military Ball, too. If we were a coed who likes orchids we d go to the ball with a cadet officer. If we were a member of Panhellenic we'd stand on our own two feet. . If we were one of the senior honoraries wed quit shaking and take some action on almost anything. If we were the AWS board wed take the new point system out of moth balls. if we were Lewandowski we'd announce a stadium seating pro gram for nxxt year NOW! if we were the football team we'd win a game any game. if we had less space to fill we'd quit boring you. If we were the student body we'd go to vespers tonight paid advertisement. If we were the ROTC band we d pat ourselves on the back. If we were next year's Homecoming committee we'd shut our eyes and pick the band out ot a hat. If we were the Student Council wed quit trying to raise graduation requirements maybe they want their jobs permanently. If we were one of the "powers that be" we d rent the coliseum to student organizations for less no matter how it hurt. If we weir the University theatre we'd put on a play as good as the last. Tf we were wilting this column we'd quit stealing onr ideas from Les Glotfelly. 475 'Little Sisters' lo Attend Counselor Friendship Dinner Fhalanx will meet at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in the Naval Armory.

Scrimmages will be a part of the dailv work from now till the opener with Northwest Missouri Teachers December 1. The scrimmage was a lively one as the scrap for positions is just beginning. Showing the ferocity of the contest was the fact that three men received injuries. Claude Rcthei ford, leading scorer on last winter's five, ,was sidelined with a badly sprained ankle which he received while grappling for a rebound. He was taken to a hospital for an X-ray, which revealed there had been no fracture. Retherford will be out of action for an estimated ten days.
