PETITIONS UM BASEBALL FANS Cribbino During Exams Is Symptom of Common Disease, "Cribbing on the pait of college students is a sytnpton Of a disease which afflicts people in all walks of life," said Dr. C. H. Patterson of the philosophy department in a talk at a joint meeting of two Y. M. C A. groups, the Freshman council and the Engineer's Huddle, which was held in the Temple building, Wednesday evening. "The disease is none other than that of a self -centered life, in other words, an attempt to get something for nothing or to get out of life more than is put into it."

DEFICIT OVER MILLION Declaring that warrants may have to be registered by the state for navments from the general fund, Deputy State Auditor Harry Parsons issued a warning Wednes day that expenditures from the fund mu6t be cut down. Such war rants which are issued in lieu of cash payments bear interest and are payable by the state as soon as the general tuna is re-esiao-lished. University professors as state employes would be subject to pay ment in such manner in au proD ability, according to Chancellor Burnett. The possibility of such a state of affairs was minimized, however, by the chancellor, who declared that since the legislature is to meet in such a short time, measures would likely be taken for meeting the emergency. Even if such warrants were is sued in payment, before the legis lature meets, the chancellor said, in all probability they would be paid up in a short time after the legislature had met Have Been Issued in Past. Warrants have been issued in times past to pay state employes, at one time such warrants only be ing received by banks at a dis count. Parsons declared that the pres ent or "term deficit" in the gen eral fund amounts to $1,610,077.17, based on the difference between re ceipts of the general fund, mostly tax collections, and expenditures for the period July 1931 to Nov. 1 of this year. Explaining details of the audi tor's report. Parsons pointed out that the balance at the beginning of the biennium was $2,103,665.22. Deducting $1,610,077.17 leaves a balance of $493,4S9.05.

And they all try to justify themselves by saying "everyone else does it, so why shouldn't I? As tho any voice might become a virtue if only enough people would do it! "The remedy for this disease lies not alone in making it difficult for the individual to get by, altho pro hibitive regulations doubtless help a great deal. But to get at the root of the trouble it is necessary to go deeper. Not until Individuals be come socially minded instead of self-centered will they cease trying to gt from Roriety more than they rightfully deserve," Dr. Patterson concluded.

The open forum and discussion held jointly by th three organized political groups on the campus, was a lively meeting in which not only the three representative speakers explained the stand of their parties on present problems but into which 1he audience en tered, bringing out views and ideas that have gone unvoiced hereto fore. Charles Gray, 3ocialfst, was the first speaker recognized by John Gepson, who presided as chairman. He gave a very pointed talk in which he did not stick to any set procedure, delving immediately into the heart of the issues being debated at the present time. The second representative, who presented the democratic side of the discussion, was Howard Holtz endorf. After calling attention to the fact that prohibition was not an issue in the present campaign, he proceeded to criticize the gen eral farm board. "Farm Board Success." Ignoring the socialist party and slating it has no place in the pres ent campaign, Charles Steadman confined his address principally to the protective tariff, pointing out that a high protective tariff is in dispensable for the good of the country.

AFFECTS OLDER PEOPLE That the various newspaper straw vote polls, including the Lit erarv Dieest roll, show more ac curately the trend of the ideas of the citizens than do those staged by universities was expressed by J. F. Senning, cnairman 01 me co litical Science department. "This," he said, "is due to the fact that the students voted on an ideal standard. They think abstracted ly, while the older people vote ac cordine to the way their immedi' ate interests are affected by polit ical conditions. That is, they think in the concrete. When the students actually become affected by the immediate results of the election then they will also think in the concrete. "Also manv students vote as their father votes. They are per haps voting for the first time for a president and many are partici pating in the poll who do not have the right to vote in the regular election. This is probably the rea ann Tt-hv there is a difference in the results of the university and other polls." ! As to the chances of people! changing their minds immediately before the election, Mr. Senning said, "It is my own belief that the great amount of enerpy that has been made by political parties in campaigning "has had very little effect in changing the minds of tne people in their intentions to vote. "The vote next Tuesday for many people is more in the nature of a nrotest vote rather than a vote for a candidate and those who desire to protest have made up their minds long ago any iKu- ment is ineffective. Otherwise " would be hard to explain tne re sults of the straw votes. I believe that the largest vote that has ever been cast will be cast this year. This is due to the fact that the 'economic pinch' is so acute that people fiid their only hope through ballot" According to Jir. benning, results of the universities pons will not affect the opinions of peo ple out of school in any way aue to the difference in opinion.

Mrs. Green stressed that she was talking to girls who were sincere in their work and who be lieve in the work of the organiza tion.

W. has had a long and glorious life here, and it cannot die." Her speech was concluded with the statement that the city Y could do its duty much more easily if the university 1 did its pan.

W. work had exactly $50 over and above her tuition, on which to live one semester and she maanged to give $10 to the Y. W. C. A.
