Lets Vote
For what we fervently hope will be the last time this
semester, we remind all junior students who registered last
Thrirsday and Friday to vote today for their president.
This election will bring to an end the childish bickerings
of campus politicians so that we all may settle down to what
is, after all, our primary business here studying.
Tht does not mean however that any eligible junior
should neglect to cast a ballot. College is a training ground
for community living after we leave the comparative seclu
sion of the campus and a prima requirement for good citi
zenship is voting conscientiously in every election. That is
the main purpose of student elections, to make everyone
conscious of their voting responsibility.
As long as every junior votes today, the winning can
didate will know that his class is behind him and the policies
he stands for. If only a few votes are cast, there is ample
opportunity for the defeated candidates to assume that the
balloting was the work of a few whose only interest in the
election is making their particular group appear strong in
coming elections.
Polls in the Union basement will be open today from 9
to 6 for all juniors if they registered last week or bring
credit books as proof of jnior standing. No matter who you
vote for, VOTE. S. J.
To Whom it may Concern:
Break out the last bottle of Scotch we'll all have a big
time. In any other country but this I would use "The Hat's"
favorite expression and shout "Comrade".
For once o nthis campus, this year, I have come face
to face with an, honest man, and I wasn't looking in the
mirror either. Congratulations and also admiration are the
menu for the day. Yes, its time, no longer will it be Greeks
eat Barbs from now on school politics will not be under
handed, from now onn the sale of knives will drag and those
people who need to sneak in and out of the Crib, through
the windows.
The Beta Theta Pi, have gone a long way in cleaning
up th? foul odor that he hung over the organized houses
this fall.
It is sad though that there is only one ' Frat" and not
any sorority that will put its neck on the block and fight
faction politics on this campus.
If the Beta Theta Pi were publicly assisted by those or
ganizations who silently claim to think the same way as
the Betas then the students on this campus can spend their
energy electing good students instead of using all their
energy sitting o nthe fence, shaking with fear that they may
fall off the wrong way.
Dake Novotny, Beta Theta Pi, Anti-Faction, is the
candidate for Junior Class President. If any of you are
interested in expressing your disgust of baclc room back
sobbings in politics use your ballot to vote for clean
politics, and Novotny.
This isn't a Barb-Greek issue being a barb myself I
would gladly support any Greek Letter candidate that makes
his intentions plain and honest Novotny is the only candi
date with an expressed purpose and his purpose is bring
school politics out into-the open and stop scaring the little
children by threats of "You wan't have a Queen or an Inno
cent if you don't play ball."

Hermann Goering's suicide
takes top place in the news of the
past 24 hours, as army authorities
remain baffled as to how Goering
managed to get the potassium
cyanide which helped him cheat
the gallows. Col. A. B. Andrus,
security chief for the Nuernberg
jail, said, "An investigation is
now going on to learn how he
could conceal the poison when he
was subject to daily and rigorous
searches, both of his clothes and
his person."
The te'i other Nazi leaders were
hung, ra scheduled, with Julius
Streicbir, arch Jew baiter, the
only I la n going to the scaffold
with "ileil Hitler" on his lips. Re
porter J present remarked on the
fact that none of the men col
lapse! and their apparent calm in
the f.ce of death. And so ... if
the mn at Nuernberg were right,
Monday marked the end of the
Nazis, for all time.
Political brickbats are flying
fast and steady since the an
nouncement by President Truman
that all controls will be removed
op production and business as
soon as possible. Truman's state
ment that 'certain congressmen'
were to blame for the present
meat shortage, through a stubborn
attempt at breaking the OPA, has
from GOP - chairman Carroll
Recce.
Reece did not restrict his criti
cism to the handling of the meat
situation in his nationwide broad
cast, but rather made a blanket
condemnation of all democratic
methods.
With both sides assuming a
holier-than thou attitude and sing
ing a refrain of 'He done it,"
prices are taking spectacular leaps.
Expected rises; according to butch
ers, will be from 10 to 30 cents
per pound, and the obvious aban
donment by both political parties
of any ideas of public welfare will
lead to a rapid spiral of impossible
costs.
The Paris Peace conference dis
integrated in the 11th hour, with

every sense. Delegates left Park

Wives of veteran students at
the University of Florida have or
ganized a club of their own called
Veterettes.
And speaking of the University
of Florida, it stopped fretting
about the housing-classroom
building shortage this week when
announcements came thru that
the state was sponsoring a
three-quarter million dollar build
ing program on the campus, and
that the U. S. Office of Educa
tion had approved the school as
the recipient of additional tem
porary units from the federal gov
ernment Some of the temporary
dormitories and classroom build
ings will be ready by Feb. 10, 1
when new semester begins.
Toils and surveys conducted on
the Kansas State campus recent
ly show Interesting things about
Kansas State students. For in-
stance, the counseling bureau
finds, thru a survey, that women
students worry more than do men
students about things. There is
one outstanding exception to the
rule. tho. One of the questions
in the survey was, "Do you worry
about what to talk about in com
pany?" Only a few women an
swered "yes" to that one. Women,
at least those a Xansas State, al
most never worry about what to
talk about in company!
Another poll at Kansas State,
this time about retail liquor in
Kansas, reveals that 73 percent of
the students believe that it is time
that Kansas went off the water
wagon. A large number of the 73
percent gave, as a reason for their
belief, that every year Kansas
loses thousands of dollars revenue
under the present "dry" system,
and that the state cannot afford
to lose that much money.
A pre-fabricated student union
is to be put up soon on the Syra
cuse university campus.
Indiana university is one of the
few schools thruout the country
that does not have a shortage of
text books. The campus book
store beran the semester with a
total of 85,000 books on its ,
shelves, and other bookstores in
Bloomington report that they have
a suoply of texts. However, due
to the 10,000 enrollment, the
campus bookstore was forced to
enlarge its staff.
New York, where the United Na
tions general assembly will meet.
The assembly will convene with
a big strike against it, as the split
between Russia and the Western
powers becomes wider. Big Four
ministers will confer Nov. 4 and
that date will probably be one of
the most important in the world's
history. The four ministers will
have to settle their differences or
be responsible for an irrevocable
break in international relations.
Pittsburgh labor has settled its
differences, at least temporarily,
but the maritime unions march
on! The negotiating committee of
the CTO-marine engineers served '
notice to Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach that its members
will leave Washington, if satisfac
tory arrangements are not made
by noon today. The committee put
the entire weight of the shipping
tie-up, which has paralyzed the '
American merchant fleet since
Oct. 1, on the owners w hen it said,
"prolongation wof the strike, with
its terrific toll, rests squarely with
the ship owners."
