We hope our editorial of Tuesday evening is not to blamed for the pres ent dearth of candidates for some of the most important Student Body of fices. Perhaps our denunciation of the office-seeker who banks on pop ularity and pull, rather than on worth and real fitness, went home to more consciences than we expected to quicken. The situation reminds us of the venerable story of a minister who an nounced from the pulpit' that the per son who took the umbrella from the ante-room was known, but that if he would replace it the matter would be dropped—and the next Sunday the room was filled with umbrellas. However, we suspect that there is another reason for the drought. When offices like the two Executive Com mittee memberships and the Vice Presidency do not attract competi tion, while important places on the Student Council and the managership of the Emerald actually go begging, it is time to look for a lack of pub lic spirit nnd willingness to serve in the Student Body. It is a tendency which we huve noted before during the present year. We cnnnot believe there is an actual shortage of ma terial in the present Junior and Soph omore classes; the cause must be an under-development of leadership. A special Student Body meeting has been called by petition for three o’clock Friday afternoon, when fur ther nominations may be made. For the sake of an interesting campaign, ns well as of efficiency in Student Body administration, the Emerald hopes to see a sufficient reinforce ment of candidates so that there shall be a contest for every position. INTELLIGENT ACTION The Emerald considers the open fo rum held by the Student Council last evening one of the noteworthy events of this collegiate year. The earnest and rational manner in which the participants in the discussion present ed their opinions and arguments, is a distinct advance over previous meth ods of procedure in such cases. Last night’s meet in"' confirmed the Knu i ald in its belief that the students are almost unanimously opposed to the cumulative cut system, and that their opposition is thoughtful and well founded. Fortunately, champions of both sides of the question were present, and both pros and cons were fully und fairly stated. An unprejudiced critic would, wo believe, pronounc the case against the syste mmuch the stronger. New evidence and unique arguments were advanced by the stu dents to fortify it further. As we see it, the salient counts brought against the system were not answered last night, and indeed they are un answerable. The Council voted to present the students’ views to the faculty in the orderly form of a brief. Such a pro test, we trust, will not be lightly dis missed. *«***•*•*•# t • * EXCUSE ME • * By DeWitt Gilbert. * * • ****♦**•*•• Trainer Tommy Boylen is no easy task-master.

Smith, head of the Geology Department, will leave about June 16 for a two months’ trip over the territory west of the Cascades to work out a special problem connected with the mines located in that part of the state. R. N. Parks, director of the State Bureau of Mines, will accompany him. Dr. Smith says that the trip will probably cover the territory from the Columbia river as far as the southern boundary of Douglas County. The Daily Princctonian has adopted a system of fixed salaries for mem bers of both the editorial and busi ness boards. Salaries range from $600 a yeaer for the chairman of the board to $100 for news reporters. The business board shall receive 60 per cent of the paper’s earnings, to be divided as they see fit. Special pro visions are made in case the earnings fall below the average yearly surplus of $3,300. : :Jy ‘■r ■■Jtejl® k\ 1 : - :k\, ,'ij; 6' Myvw M0l|PONS; Cull value for coupons and tags from IJggrtt & toKuin anti cigarettes. bis- stock of . .

ADMISSION Adults 10c, Children 5c I.- .-4 CO EDS NHL PLAY HOCKEY HERE MM 13 Team for Return Game With O. A. C. to be Picked Later; Admis sion 25 Cents A return game of hockey will be played by the University women’s team with the O. A. C. team, on the hockey field south of Kincaid Park, on the afternoon of May 13, at 4:00 o’clock. The team will be selected May 12. “The team,” said Miss Frieda Gold smith, Assistant Director in the Wo men’s Physical Training Department, “will not be the same as the one that met the Corvallis team in April. At that time the women here had had only two weeks’ practice, while the 0. A. C. women had been practicing all winter on a smooth ground floor. I The University women held the Cor vallis team down to a score of 0 to j ?, however.” I An admission of 25 cents will be charged to cover the expense of the trip from Corvallis. The team will provide for the entertainment of the visitors. ‘There was a good turn out of stu dents at the Corvallis game,” says Miss Goldsmith. “The women on the team show real sportsmanship, and may for their interest in the game.” “Take it back day” is a new institu tion started by the Student Council at Gettysburg. On this day all stu dents are to return borrowed articles. aBMBMHBMMaRBSaSIBBMBB! waagBaatam a—B—ceaM——Ml RADNOR SPECIAL LOG ROLLS 29 cents the pound Varsity Sweet Shop —~y>i They Stand the Wear l-P Loose Leaf Fillers and Note Books ftfSCi’S BOOK STORE II VIII NIb Vlart Hartal Ci MAILING USTS GUARANTEED cvtvuvf all tliiiv •! frvfvaaivEt. trt4«t •i ta4ir14»AU.
