THE MACHINE AGAIN.
In last Tuesday's paper we sought
briefly to show that under the exist
ing syBtem of social life for students
there is nothing wrong sith machine
control of class politics Since the out
come of last Tuesday"s election our
position has been variously assailed
Tho opposition comes mainly from
three BOurceB; those who really mis
take potatoes for principles, those
who have a growing but inmate f,i
raillarity with the actual operations nr
class politics; and finally, those ho
collaterally assert that while the con
elusions presented were true, still the
publication of those conclusions on
tho very day of election contributed to
tho defeat of this class of objectors
for tho offices they were seeking, and
that tho publication of these conclu
sions was from their standpoint high
ly inexpedient. Since these three
classes of objectors are fairly repro
Bentative of tho groups into which stu
dent opinion on a political question
naturally divides Itself, It Is only
right, not that wo should qualify our
position which we simply know the
facta sustain but that for those who
aro unwilling to study a brief state
ment of the position, we should make
our exposition more simple, more ele
montary, more intelligible We do so
now.
We mean that under the
system of providing social
University students, machnu
of class politics is natuial,

The object ol class orgam.ation i
primarily social The expeudituie of
money and the expenditure ol tune m
class affairs other than social is al
most negligible The big thing in class i
politics is to get up the dance
And what all must by this time have
observed about the dance is this; THE
DANCE IS FOR THE FEW It is
made just as extravagant as the bank
account of one or two hundred of our,
richest students will afford Witness1
the recent Nebraska Cotillion In otb-
er words, the price of a dance under
our present social system is deter-
mined not by tho student who Is least
able to pay but by the student is beBt
able to pay. Included within the raiks

Justifies machine control, and makes

What wo should do is not to deny
machine control What we should do
is not to deny that under a social syB i
tern which forbids the participation of i
tho many in events held in their name,
machine control of these events is
right What wo should do is to create

are least able to pay for it We can
do this very easily by perBuading the
Unnersity to refloor the Armory and
