All Over. Campaigning coed have departed from the Temple steps; activity men are numng swollen right hands; political bosses are mus ing; the election is over. In the past, elections have been very ex citing little affairs. Boss Jones of the under shirt faction would slip home from the polls at noou with a handful of ballots. He would de ploy a squad of freshmen to mark them prop erlv, and then return them to the ballot box. Kle'ctions were gay old affaira. Throat-cutting was the collegiate pastime and the minority confined its activities to bleeding and howling. Behold, a new state of affairs! Electtons are now operated on the level. Despite a few indiscreet violations of the election code by over-ambitious factionalists, everything in yes terday's battle was square. Student elections are enjoyable events. The sedate senior may ignore them, but the normal students find pleasure in thronging to the Student council's makeshift polls. It is a part of the thing we call college life. Di verting the student mind from studies and cak ing for a moment, It offers a taste of something JL heavy student vote indicatea a general interest in student government and campus ac tivities. That Is to be desired, for no matter how mueli we may ridicule activities, they rep resent an essential slice of collegiate existence. Flashlight pictures, with their gusts of pow der, would not daunt the boy who has waited tabha n a coffee shop. Quarter Up. Quarterly reports are hovering maliciously over tha student body as the first quarter re tires in favor of the second. Some alleged stu dents have picked up a few stray facts during the initial heat, while others are still wander ing around in a dream, guessing at every thing. All students, however, receive practically the same treatment from their beloved in structors. The backward lads and lassies rub shoulders with the intelligensia in classrooms. The latter do most of the reciting, while their colleagues sit back and let their heads swim. Seniors in underclassman courses are given juvenile quizzes along with the rest of the troop. Instructors seem to be baffled by the variey of scholastic material presented them. It was once considered improper for instructors to "turn in" juniors and seniors at the end of the first quarter, but now it seems they may. "What good does it do one to learn study meth ods through his first two or three years, only to be slapped down with the beginners in some general course? In most cases there is no excuse for a stu dent to be delinquent at the end of the first quarter. Carelessness, procrastination, laziness are tn blame for most of these bad stsrts. Fra ternities and sororities growl and roar at their iiii iiiliers, but the down hours continue to float into the scholastic reservoir. AORNINC MAIL .ihm! I ecmu-ork.

Iv-.l-. think it the amart thinir to do. there is one excellent cure to allow smoking in sorority houses. This extinguishes the Inst spark of cleverness from the cigaret. Smoking is no longer smart, because it is too commonplace. What waa once unique becomes rather a bore, and the attractiveness of smoking dwindles tremendously. Institutions which sanction womon's smoking, Byrn Mawr for example, report a notable decrease since tin; ban has been lifted. Girls who enjoy smoking will do so. If not allowed to smoke in their sororities, they will go elsewhere. Girls who smoke to be smart will do so as long as it is novel, ana n win con tinue to be novel until smoking at home low ers its level to the commonplace. The solution lies in allowing smoking in sororities. This will appeal to those fair-minded individuals who want to see the problem settled justly. and it will also appeal to the righteous and holy who want to see this great aoeial evil diminish.
