Thursday at assembly will be the last opportunity for cam dates to make known their ambitions unless they choose to enter the lists later via the petition route. No candidate need fear defeat if he follows a few simple campaign rules. Here they are: JL Don’t seek an office unless you are confident of your ability to fulfill creditably the duties of that office. 2. Don’t throw mud at your opponents, 3. Don’t believe people when they tell you terrible stories about all the nasty things your opponents are saying about you. 4. Remember that if you are defeated, two weeks after elec tion no one but yourself will remember your adverse fortune. 5. During election don’t take yourself too seriously. 6. After election (if elected) live up to your campaign promises. He or she who observes these points, winner or loser, will not regret his entry into the political field. Politics, if taken with a grin instead of a growl are good fun. Perhaps the most lamentable aspect of campus politics is the ever present temptation for the candidates to boost their own stock at the expense of the other fellow—commonly known as mud slinging. This gentle practice, rather absent the last several years, can do more than any other factor in bringing ill-feeling into a campaign. Obviously the logic of the mud slinger is wrong, and his tactics are futile. The candidate who seeks to ride into office upon the demerits of his opponents is trusting his fortunes to a flimsy craft. He will find many listeners but will gain few votes by virtue of his ill-mannered practices. Concerning the Results of The Student Questionnaires On the front page of today’s Emerald is given a portion of the results of the questionnaire distributed on the campus last week. Several interesting conclusions drawn from the ques tionnaires are pointed out, among them being that students are finding fault with the Romance languages department, the edu cation department, and the school of business administration. Before eondeming these departments too heartily we should take intoi consideration several factors which may be said to be somewhat instrumental in bringing about this state of affairs. The Romance language department probably comes in for the largest panning, not only in the two lower classes but man ages to receive a healthy vote in the upper classes. .A. lew moments thought will bring to mind several reasons why this department should logically and honestly be disliked. In the first place the enrollment in the department is large _very large—lending itself by the laws of chance and prob ability to receive many votes. In the second place, most stu dents take foreign languages, not because they wish to, but because they are compelled to. In the third place, language study, a mere play with words and syllables, for the first two years at least, is devoid of ideas, and consequently through no fault of the student or the instructor is not interesting to the adolescent or post-adolescent youth. Lastly, the language de partment has recently been under fire, everyone knows it, and bence everyone is delighted to assist in th good work that some one else lias started. The education department is handieapped in the popularity contest because all students who wish to teach by state law must take a liberal dose of education courses, no matter where their interests lie. lienee that department also is laboring under the difficulty of teaching people who are not partic ularly anxious to be taught. The business administration school, one of the largest single schools or departments in the University likewise comes in for a large vote by the laws of chance and probability. However, even though taking into account all the extenu ating circumstances, this much we must sav: Where there is amoke there is usually fire; and these departments and a few others, to be mentioned later, will do well to indulge in a pro found bit of introspection. Perhaps a few senior majors might be induced to donate suggestions of real value. Congratulations Due the Members of Kappa Delta Phi ” To the members of Kappa Delta Phi, mens’ local fraternity, the student body will extend congratulations upon their receiv ing a charter of Sigma Phi Epsilon, national social fraternity, the goal of the local fraternity for the past several years. Sigma Phi Epsilon is to be congratulated also in securing Kappa Delta Phi as its Oregon chapter, and may be assured that “Spee,” as the fraternity is known in Greek circles, will be ably represented on the University of Oregon campus.

April, with its flowers new risen Under the magic of his fond caress, And yet Death takes him from them. Why could he not have gone in autumn sere, Died as the blossoms of his heart Faded, drooped for the winter’s rest, So friends could go together! But though the angels of the flow ers must go When earth is in full tide of spring, And though he doubted Resurrec tion Day, The friends that stay are buoyed by knowledge sure That every spring and every day between, in things he did The man will live again. And while the world is flounder ing for an abstract truth to be shown to prove that religion lives, one of the most religious men of all times died and lie was called an infidel. Shortly before the death of Bur bank, a newspaperman, friend of the writer’s, had a serious discus sion with the botanist. Recorded with a certain amount of second hand inaccuracy, the following is an excerpt of the conversation: “I am alive to the mystery of a Diety,” he said,“But there is some thing behind the mystery. Per haps the nature of my work and endless research has- allowed me to see behind the mystery. Religion is the mystery, often cold, often meaningless. In my work I seem to get behind the mystery. Research into the Kingdom of Flowers is not a religion, an abstract, that is in their kingdom; it is a positive, a living, a real thing; divinely real real and divine. To me it is the positive faith that satisfies, as the evolution of the flower or the beast is a positive faith.” And we sort of believe that Bur bank’s face and life prove that it was the positive faith that satis fied. The fumbling search of this generation for spiritual meaning in life is portrayed by a strange para dox by this man who was called an infidel. CAMPUS ! j Bulletin!'

Business Men Slow To Admit Superstition Did you ever stop to realize that it might he unlucky for the sales woman attending you, if you ask her to show you black gloves and Bhe is forced to show them before bringing ont gloves of another color. Or perhaps it never entered your mind that if the first custom er in a grocery store is a woman, the groceryman has bad luck the remainder of the day. At least, these were a few of the testimonies received by Franklin E. Folts, as sistant dean of the school of busi ness administration, after making an investigation for the Bureau of Business Research of that school. ! Professor Folts returned from, Med ford Wednesday evening where he spoke to the Jackson County Retail Merchant’s association on “Super stition in Business.” The address was based upon in vestigations made among business men, regarding their superstitions. Invariably, according to Professor Folts, they would reply in the nega tive but a more definite question ing would find them possessing some of the wildest superstitions imaginable.
