POLITICAL BATTLES
RAGINQ HOT TODAY
stnricnti Will Decide Winners In
To-
day's Election Many Close
Contests Expected
The long weeks of gum-shoeing
have ended and the candidates at to
day's election have only to wait a Tew
hours longer to loam the results. The
class elections are probably the most
interesting because of the larger num
ber to be voted upon, yet it is thought
that another contest will bring out a
sharper fight. The candidates have
been active for some time in soliciting
support and by reason of longer ac
quaintanceships, Btrongcr organiza
tions are possible than at the elections
last fall.
The only name ou the Freshman
ballot is Raleigh LeBas. LeDas is a
member of the Delta Tail fraternity
and has taken a keen interest in the
affairs of his class.
A. R. Swenson and Byron Hayes are
contestants for the Sophomore honor.
Hayes is a prominent member of the
Agricultural Club, is senior corporal of
Company D, and is a Sigma Nu. His
opponent, Swenson, is a student in the
College of Arts and Sciences, is a
member of the Palladian Society, the
Tegner Society, the German Dramatic
Club, and is president of the Scandi
navian Club. Last year Swenson was
gn the debating team that won the
inter-class championship, and is this
year a member of the Sopbomore
team, besides being a member of the
honorary public speaking society, the
Phi Alpha Tau.
In the Junior class, Percy Spencer
is running against Ruth Sheldon.. This
conter' is unique in that for the first
time In many years a girl is an aspir
ant for class honors. Spencer is a
Phi Delta Phi, a member of the jour
nalistic fraternity, Sigma Delta Chi,
and was managing editor last year of
the Daily Nebraskan. Miss Sheldon
is at present a member of the Nebras
kan staff, and has been prominent in
athletics. Year before last she was
given an "N" for winning the hurdle
race and for membership on the girls'
basketball team, and this year she is
an assistant in the department of
physical educatiou.
Sjogren and Zum winkle will divide
the vote for the Senior leadership and
the race is expected to be close. Both
have been prominent in class .affairs
and have many friends.
The closest fight of the election is
the Ivy Day oratorship. Hewitt and
Mann are the contenders for the palm
which the Seniors have to award.
Mann is a Senior of the law college
and has been interested in debating
and public speaking throughout his
course in the University. Hewitt has
also been prominent among the
school's debaters and public speakers
and is an Innocent.
In addition to the class officers, the
Sophomores have the selecting of the
Cornhusker offices. For editor-in-chief,
Jake ''(maybe Jacob, who knows)
Schwab is having a ilttle party of his
own. and Jake bids fair to be the
original "Flying Dutchman." Frey
and Claar are the would-be managing
editors, and each has worked up strong
support. Babson and Lahr are the
candidates for the business manager's
chair.
On the whole, the election promises
to be an interesting, though quiet, af
fair. Daily Kansan Now Has a Fair Play
Bureau
To stop inaccuracies and to give
redress to persons harmed by mis
takes in the Daily Kansan, the Kan
san Board has insta'led a Fair Play
and Accuracy Bureau, which will re
suit in the suspension of a man from
the Kansan Board after he has made a
certain number of mistakes, or if he
is not on the Board, will keep him
from working for the paper. A scale
of demerits has been fixed by the
Bureau for mistakes according to
their importance. When the number
of demerits totals fifty the man goes
off the Board for three, months, or Is
kept from writing for the paper dur
ing that time.
The Daily Kansan Is the first col
lego paper , in the United States to
adopt such a bureau. Several metro
politan papers have a similar plan.
The New " York World was the first
paper to work out the Idea. pally
Kansan.
DRASTIC MEASURES
AGAINST DISHONESTY
Number of Students Dismissed on Ac
count of Underhand Methods In
Class Room Work
The Council of Administration is
tightening up on dishonesty in all
forms. It is attempting to impress
upon the student body of the univer
sity the fact that they are being edu
cated for good citizenship and are not
kept in the institution to learn mis
representation.
As a result of this crusade it has
disciplined fifteen students for crib
bing, lying, and such offenses. The
opinion of the council is expressed by
Dean Clark in the following letter:
Cases Unusually Numerous
'Editor Daily Illini:
"More cases cl dishonesty than
usual have come before the Council of
Administration recently for considera
tion. During the examination period
just passed, and just previous to it,
the council has voted to discipline fif
teen students. The penalties imposed
ranged from dismissal for one semes
ter to permanent dismissal from the
university. One young woman was
dismissed until September, 1915, for
presenting a false excuse in order that ;
she might extend her Christmas vaca
tion. A young man was dismissed for
one semester for securing an early
examination through false statements.
Twelve students were dismissed for
one semester for giving or receiving
help in examinations. A junior who
had previously been dismissed for dis
honesty in class work was permanent
ly dismissed from the university for
receiving help in a final examination.
and a second junior was permanently
dismissed for dishonesty.
Desire Good Citizenship
"There has been in recent months a
considerable amount of gossip as to
the frequency of students obtaining
an extension of their vacations by pre
senting false excuses. The council
will severely discipline such students
when they are discovered. Any case
of cribbing in examinations is likely
to result in dismissal from the univer
sity, and In serious cases the dismissal
will be permanent. The university is
trying to educate Its students for good
citizenship, and it feels strongly that
honesty and truthfulness are neces
sary characteristics of the good citi
zen. THOMAS ARKLE CLARK."
A butler in one of the large New
York hotels says that the wastage
connected with the operation of a hotel
de luxe is appalling. For reasons that
it 1st not necessary to explain the em
ployes are not allowed to carry food
away from the establishment The
consequence of this rigid system is
that half of a fowl that would make a
perfectly satisfactory meal for a fam
ily goes into the garbage can along
with other broken food of great nu
tritive value. But even this waste is
not to be compared with the cost of
the luxuries installed in every build
ing devoted to hotel use. The guest
pays four times as much as lodging
ought reasonably to cost and yet the
landlord does not make an excessive
profit. The money goes into huge
rents, into expensive service and into
the interest cost involved in lavish
decorations and sumptuous appoint
ments. Compared with the wastage
involved in excessive luxury in build
ing, furnishings and decorations the
loss involved in maintaining a culinary
department is not.a serious matter.
