$4QChris Peterson
With the fall elections out of the
way we can all lean back and
heave a mighty sigh. That much
of school life is settled for an
other year.
The way things were boiling be
tween the progressives, liberals
and barbs, a traitor in campus
politics was a fellow who left our
party and went over to the other
party. When a man left the other
party and came over to our party,
he was a convert.
It seems to me that the campus
ideal in politics is to do nothing
yourself and investigate every
thing that the other fellow does.
At the progressive rally: "I see
many new faces here tonight with
whom I would like to shake
hands." Odd greeting.
At the liberal rally: "Now be
fore making my speech. I would
like to say a few words.
e
Which reminds me. There was
a politician who after hours of
blaaa asked if there was a watch
in the house. A voice in the back
of the room answered, "No, but
there is a calendar right behind
you."
But believe it or not, many u
candidate has spoken a true word
through false teeth.
So the campus political pot
boiled over. Too damn many
cooks brewing the broth.
Artist Elma Pratt
speaks tomorrow
Elma Fratt, Internationally
known figure in the art world, will
be the guest speaker tomorrow at
3 p. m. in Ag hall 306 at an all
ng campus convocation. Classes
will be dismissed nt the option of
instructors.
Miss Pratt, who has spent most
of the past ten years in Kuropean
countries and has a broad under
standing cif conditions there, is the
founder nnd director of the Inter
national School of Art, which lias
schools in many Kuropean coun
tries.
Recently awarded a gold cross
by Poland for outstanding work in
developing art in that country, Bhe
is expected to bring students on ag
campus a thorough insight into
European conditions, both In art
and economic conditions.

Democracies
take dictator
for action
Herteler considers
only sick or weak
states susceptible
Sick democracies or democracies
that have never achieved strength
have been willing to accept dic
tatorship as a means of getting ac
tion, declares Dr. J. O. Hertzler,
chairman of the department of
sociology, in an analysis of dic
tatorship causes which has been
published in Sociology and Social
Research.
The university educator, who
has completed a study of 35 dic
tatorships in past and present
times, believes that in the present
totalitarian states, postwar condi
tions and the treaty of Versailles
have been great contributing fac
tors.
After Versailles.
After the World War, Dr. Hert
zler explains, there were 30 sov
ereign states instead of eighteen;
35 customs systems instead of 26
and 3,750 miles of new customs
barriers, and 27 monetary sys
tems instead of 13.
The study has also indicated
that dictatorships have flourished
best where people have had little
experience in popular government.
He believes that this is applicable
both to the cases of Hitler and
Mussolini in Germany and Ihaly.
Dr. Hertzler also believes that
in countries where there are many
small parties, the executive pow
ers must of necessity seize powers
which do not belong to them, in
order to get things done.
Another reason given for " in
crease of dictatorship is the quick
and decisive action required in in
ternational affairs, and the cum-
bersomeness and inefficiency of
the parliamentary system in times
of emergency.

The Student Council made good
its promise to conduct a clean and
honest election. All factions con
cerned termed this election as the
fairest in years.
Bob Klory, a member of the
progressive party, said, "It looked
like a clean election Hnd shows
the comparatively even strength
of the two major factions which
will have to bo decided in the
spring balloting. John Mason, a
lilxTal, stated, "It was the fair
est election I've seen .since I came
to school. I think this was due
only to the vigilance of all parlies
at Ihe polls."
Marian Kldd, president of the
.Student Council, expressed the
view that this was the "most fair
election we've ever had. Any
complaints, I hope, will be reg
istcred with me."
Ellsworth Steele, us a repre
sentative of the Barb Union, was
the only one who expressed a nog
atlve view of the election. He said
wun iacuny cooperation we
would be able to give them (the
students) a cleaner election. Were
the campus sure of a truly hon
est Student Council, it would be
more sure of a truly honest elec
tlon."

"I cannot see how you Amer
ienns get so many things done in
so little time. All the time you are
going some place or doing some
thing. At home we do not hurry
so much. We take our time, and
do not rush into things."
Won't talk politics.
When asked about Mussolini and
the government she expressed the
desire not to discuss political ques
tions. However she did say that,
I like Mussolini, because I like
every great man." The greater
majority, she stated, like their
leader and desire peace and noth
ing else.
"I think they (the Kappas) arc
right when they call me 'Miss Mar
cella Comfottunate' because I do
not like war and I am so hnppy
that I can be here where there are
no guns," laughingly commented
Miss Comforto.
Supper at 9.
In Italy they eat their meals At
the same time as the Americans
except for supper which is eaten
at approximately 9 p. m. All the
meals are started with a sandwich
of sonic kind and then invariably
mncarom, followed by the main
dishes. She said that "We do not
drink milk at meals; wine Is the
national favorite mealtime drink."
When asked about football she
expressed her dislike for the game
and said that in Italy the games
were not sponsored by tho univer
sities. Football, she stated is the
prefcrcd game In Italy but all
me teams arc profess onal.
Accompanying Miss Comforto
where ever she goes is a small
pocket dictionary and a notebook
in which she writes down all the
new words she hears. Hop fnunrit
pastime is collecting slang words
unu trying io ngure out what they
mean. She proudly Baid that she
knew what "O.K." meant and ex-
pressed her liking for the favorite
nusKer drink.
