How much reason can anyone dig up for two campus political explo sions so close together? The poli ticians have hardly time to wash their hands after the major event, when along come the class elections like an ill-timed dud. What’s the excuse ? We are told that there has to bo some occasion for tossing crumbs to tliq lame ducks; then too, the suc cessful A. K. TT. O. candidates must „ take care of their army of ward heelers and henchmen. But any capable, politician can capitalize appointive posts—of which there aro plenty—-for paying his legiti mate debts without recourse to class offices; we would rule this consid eration out. Merely as a conveni ence to politicians, the second elec tion is not justifiable. The most damning testimony against the way class elections are conducted is t ho count-contesting that seems a ubiquitous accompani ment to class activities of this kind. It is not strange, where so many loosely organized groups, responsible to no one in particular, try to deter mine their officers in a spontaneous, casual way. They seem to overlook the patent fact that there is nothing either casual or spontaneous about the election of class officers. The student body’s business is not run for vote jugglers primarily, and the less temptation offered these worthies, the more clean-cut our campaigns will be. An obvious in ducement for aspirants frozen out of chances for student body posi tions is placed in the hands of poli ticians by the present system. No one can estimate the number of house feuds born of disregarded contracts for reciprocal support in the two elections; they must run High. A good job for the new adminis tration to begin on is right before its members. If they will do away With all this haphazard voting and incorporate the entire electoral pro cess under the scrutiny of a board of competent seniors, they will have left something to be remembered by. Our elections, us they arc, have not been corrupt, but they arc slipshod; and in effect, carelessness may even be worse than corruption. Hurrah! The i World Is Safe (World-Herald) A BOUT the time a co-ed finds ! university life getting too complicated, what with dates, sor ority obligations and the unreason able insistence of the faculty that she toe a scholarship mark, she is liable to get a curt summons from the dean of women. And the dean, if she be the right sort, thinks Miss Anno 'Dudley Blit/ of the University of Minnesota, won’t waste much eentiment and sympathy on her but will just tell her “to buck up and take a manly attitude toward her job.” Maybe she (the dean) gives her (the co-ed) a robust thump be tween the shoulder blades just by way of manly emphasis. Miss Blitz I (loose’t say. And so the co-ed who had just about decided to let it grow out again stops in at the barber shop and gets her hair shingled shorter than ever. Then she goes back to the sorority house, lights a. cigaret, says “fell with the dean,” and wonders if she had better give up bridge and go in for football in stead. O well, maybe she doesn’t do just that, although it is justified by the customs of the age as representative of her effort to buck up and be manly. The co-ed editors of the Daily Nebraskan undertaking to in terpret themselves, deny that there is any pronounced masculine type of girl on the campus in spite of the prevailing fashion in clothes and hair dressing—and we believe them. The difference lies in this, that no matter how many feminine taboos she breaks to adopt a petty masculine vice or enjoy a masculine comfort she remains prettily femi nine in the doing of it. Bobbed hair but served to accentuate the soft curve of her cheek, and a cigaret only calls attention to the dainti ness of her lips. Co-eds will be girls and girls will be flappers notwith standing feminism, bobbed hair and the advice of the dean of women. And the flapper, we doubt not, will continue to be altogether charming just as she is today. Library Has New Hook Of Darwin's Life Work “What is a species?” This ques tion, asked by a college professor, startled Charles Darwin into making his life studies which have caused him to be known all ever the world. A new seven day book at the li brary, “Charles Darwin the Man and His Warfare,” bv llenshaw Ward, gives a vivid account of the man's life and works. “Andrew Johnson,” by Robert W. Winston, is another new seven day book about a great man. Mr. Win ston, tlirough the courtesy of the grandson of Andrew Johnson, Mr. Patterson, has had recourse to John son \s scrap books, newspaper files and letters, and has been able to wander at will in Johnson’s old home and examine the heirlooms there. There are two new books on the rent shelf at the library, “American Mystery Stories,” and “American Detective Stories,“ selected by Caro lyn Wells.

Frosh To Make Merry At Saturday's Picnic Freshmen, now that their initia tion stage has passed into history, will journey Saturday to Swimmers* lVlight where they will celebrate joyously in the annual frosh picnic. Arrangements for the outdoor af fair, which will last from mid afternoon till the curfew tolls just before midnight, are being complet ed by a number of committees under the general chairmanship of Bill I’ittmann with George Christensen as his assistant. A treasure hunt is being sched uled for prize seeking freshmen to head a program that includes swim ming, horse shoe tossing, a ball game, and dancing. Everything (including the food) will be tree, and every membe^ of the JD.il class is urgently requested to be present at the outdoor cele bration. The picnic will be a “no-date” affab according to Fittman 1 __ WELL, DID YOU GO TO THE CIBCUS YESTERDAY?

UNIVERSITY MAY BEGIN STRICT MILL RACE PATROL Swift Cutters and Bright Spotlights Among Suggestions Believing that there is a notorious gang engaged in smuggling p'ipe cleaners and French pastries into Eugene from Springfield by means of the Mill race, local, police officers are considering the idea of keeping a close vigil on that body of water. The University, hearing of the proposal, offered to raise fees and hire another cop if the city of Eu gene would purchase a suitable pa trol boat and install spotlights. Such a joint venture by the city and University would go farther than guarding against smuggling. It. would check up on parking limits of canoes, one arm paddling, four in tile front seat, etc. * # # • “Can’t we park here just a second in front of the library?” “Ferris the cop?” II EIGHTH OF MISFORTUNE: possessing; only a shower BATH AND THEN RECEIVING BATH SALTS FOR A jBIRTHDAy PRESENT. .,* T . j FROM A SATISFIED EMERALD READER— 1 was at once aurprised, astound ed, and “gratified” when I read the name of the “good looking” ball player in Tuesday’s Emerald and found that it was myself! —HARRY DUTTON MORE CARE WILL CERTAINLY HAVE TO BE TAKEN.
