Both Encouraging YESTERDAY at the student body meeting, two candidates for presidency of the ASUO made five-minute speeches stating their plans if elected. One was Fred Hammond and the other Craig Finley. Facing uncertain problems of administration, complicated by the reorganization plans of the student body, and confused and tired by the intense pre-election preparations, both men offered highly commendable and constructive platforms. Although necessarily limited to generalizations by the five-minute rule, the candidates were surpris ingly lucid in the presentation of their ideas. And it was significant and encouraging that both men not only willingly supported the indefinte plans for reorganization but also directed their remarks toward IMPROVING THE UNIVERSITY'S RE LATIONSHIPS WITH THE TEOPLE OF THE STATE. Craig Finley's plans are apparently based on more effectively correlating the student body and laymen in the state by establishing a medium for expressing this school’s hospitality both to visitors and prospective students. This has long been a real need at the University and would affect a greatly improved layman opinion of this school. # * * Fred Hamomnd hopes to unite the student body, eliminate petty political bickering, and strive for an active, cooperative, and interested student body, capable and willing to represent the true feelings of the students on matters of import to the University. Again a solution to one of the school’s most pressing problems has been offered. Both candidates expressed interest in a broad distribution of campus jobs among both affiliated and unaffiliated students. It is probable that the plans of these two very likely candidates will overlap in their efforts to improve the student body. AfLer all, U*nr main objectives include student body and University improvement. * * # With two men, both promising and progressive, it will be difficult for the student electorate to choose their president. The week preceding the election offers both candidates ample time to formulate the specific platforms on which they hope to be elected. It is on these platforms, their concreteness, their practicality, and the manner in which they are presented, that the best man should be chosen. It should be the end of the run that counts. 1936-37 Publications In Good Hands A T the same time that the student body was nominating its student officers, the publica tions committee and the executive council selected tlie heads of the major student publications on the campus. hied Colvig has been selected as editor of the 1036-37 Emerald. The selection of Colvig from among the capable aspirants was not easy. Eut the choice of this man places the Emerald in good hands for next year. Prior to the last two years not much has been heard of Fred Colvig. With the exception of his prominence in the school of journalism, necessary outside work and a concerted attack on his studies (resulting in excellent grades) has kept him from general campus circulation. Recently, however, he has become acquainted with a large part of the' campus and has become a prominent figure in administrative affairs of the student body. He is learned, sound, and energetic. He is ver satile, likeable, and cooperative. The student body is fortunate to have him as editor of the Emerald. « ■* * Walter Vernstrom, by steady, sincere, and effective work, has built himself into the business managership of the sheet. He, too, will contribute greatly to the success of the sheet. As editor of the Oregana, Don Casciato should be highly successful. Not only has he proven him self able as a journalist and student of journalism, but he possesses a personality that is engaging and stimulating. Ed Morrow, the selection for business manager of the Oregana, is not without experience. His work on this year’s book was very commendable and has been a contributing factor in the promised success of the venture. * * * Thus the year 1936-37 will find the student publications in fine shape. Miscellanything Brin# Stuff From Ifrali and Theuli EVILS OF MODERN MATRIMONY Hampshire Gazette, May 29, 1799. (Editor's note: The following excerpt is taken from a bound volume of issues of the Hampshire Gazette for the year 1799, which was found by school children in an abandoned house in Port land, and given by them to a teacher, who sent it to Prof. R. C. Clark, head of the history department.) OEETNG that the present state of matrimony ^ hath lately been taken into very high consider ation, and very severe remarks made thereon, al though no remedy hath yet been proposed, except some small additions to the undergarments of certain public dances; I have bestowed a consider able portion of time and attention on the subject, and having flattered myself that I have found out both the cause and the remedy for matrimonial infidelity, I now send you the results of my labors. It has never been well with matrimony since a lover could visit his mistress by the house door. When there were windows und garden walls and rope ladders, and when it was an even chance whether a man saluted his mistress on the hard ground, a man learned to set a just value at what had been achieved at so much risk. And young ladies, too, permit me to say, would naturally be much more attached to a man who had ventured his neck only for a five minute conversation, than to one who had come (juietly in at the door, in the presence of the whole family, und without the smallest danger. Ah! These were happy days, when every step to gain a meeting was attended with the most delightful palpitations; and when the terrors of the blunderbuss prescribed a tiptoish caution, that is not known in our time. Then, sir, a courtship was a regular siege, and the lovers were acquainted with all the stratagems of war. To be known to be in love was to be known to be in danger; and when a parent discovered his son’s passion, he locked up all firearms and other hurtful weapons; and when uneasy in his absence, instead of the present vulgar mode of sending a servant, would have ordered the ponds to be dragged. These were happy days. Marriage, sir, is greatly too easy, and what is the consequence'! We have lost the noble passion of jealousy, that great preservative of a man's honor that watchful spy and informer, who was always ready to give notice of a plot before it was hatched, and could cook up a most admirable conspiracy without the help of conspirators. No man can tell what are the comforts of jealousy, and what the security it affords, but the happy few who possess it in its original and uncomipled form.

We find as follows: 1. The School has no liabilities, either current or con tingent. 2. Current assets are many, turnover of working capital and inventories having been rapid in past few years. 3. The School is not over-capitalized and has been paying large dividends, partly due to its exceptionally good management. •1. Its current assests consist, in part, of accountants to keep track of the score in Saturday's softball game, salesmen to put over this drive, and financial men to “'bring home the bacon."

But when it comes to dropping a bomb from a bombing plane, and then fol lowing the bomb to its target . . . that’s real spirit. It seems that an air corps ca det, attached to a bombard ment squadron of Hamilton field, joined the farpous cater pillar club a short time ago. The tale goes that this ca det's job was to sit in the bomb ing bay, which is the part of a bomber where the bombs are carried, and release the eggs. After each release, the cadet's curiosity would rise to fever pitch, and he would lean over the edge of the bomb trap to see how good his marksmanship was. Unfortunately, however, he leaned too far. He released the bomb, then lost his balance and fell through the bomb trap. So there was the bomb, hurtling earthward, and there, right be hind the bomb and gaining mo mentum every second, was the cadet. After dropping about a thou sand feet, the cadet decided he couldn't beat the bomb to terra firma anyway, so he pulled the ripcord of his chute. The bomb, which, fortunately, was a prac tice dud, came to rest with a good solid thud. A moment lat er the cadet arrived, rolled in his toadstool, and made his way to field headquarters, where horribly embarrased, he report ed that he had fallen out of his plane. The field officers were not alone in their surprise, for the report came as something of a shock to the pilot of the cadet’s plane. The pilot, it seems, had not missed his companion. At any rate, the aforemen tioned cadet is now a member of the Caterpillar club. Well, kiddies, the political big guns really open up now. The annual battle of the gravy bowl is about to commence, so take to the trenches and hope for the best. There is a miracle town in up per New York state.

L. Lewis, superintendent of the physical plant. At the present time the lawn is torn out in front of Friendly near where one of the events is to be held. Work around the infirmary should be well along by Junior Weekend so that machinery and rubbish around the oustide can be removed. Fourteenth street, how ever, will be closed between Uni versity and Onyx for construction of the tunnel to the new gymnas ium. No cleaning up can be done around the new library or gym nasium because construction is not far enough along. and Kay Larson, Delta Gamma; Marie Rasmussen and Helen La Follette, Delta Delta Delta; Mar jorie Smith and Peggy Hayward, Gamma Phi Beta; Jayne Bower man and Bernice Healy, Kappa Alpha Theta; Dorothy Rinehart and Marion Dryer, Kappa Kappa Gamma.

At any rate, the town council had to have a meeting to decide what they were going to do with the $12,000. One gentle man, a chap of undoubted He braic antecedents, suggested the purchase of a new fire en gine. Unfortunately he was voted down, and the board decided to buy a new clock for the town hall. Well, tne ciock was installed, and a large section of the citi zenry rallied around to- watch the dedication ceremonies. And at that precise moment a great cloud of black smoke billowed out from the building, and the town hall was on fire! “Vi!” commented the non Aryan. “The clock vas a good idea. Now you can seeing vat time the fire started, and how long it’s taking to get it out.’’ THE BEST CLEANERS • Press While You Wait • 15% Off for Casli and Carry OPEN TILL ON SATURDAY EVENINGS Phone 740 821 13th St. Keep Fit on a Joicyele BICYCLES FOR RENT Open Till 10 P.
