It will be either great or gross, a noble experiment or a failure. The step is a logical one, but its sudden deve lopment, bringing an answer which stu dent political idealists have long sought, was about as expected as if cornstalks were to grow 20 feet high in front of Johnson hall. The birth of the idea is a simple example of the effectiveness of necessity. Stuck for interested, capable material for the Dads’ Day chairmanship, the committee was at its wits’ end for which way to turn. They had no leads at all. 'flic only sensible solution was to ask for bids. course they could easily name some one. One can always be found to fill the bill. Hut 1 he appointment is rare in which the eom bittee really knows who all want the job. Drawing names from a hat works about the same way. This new way there seems to be a chance lor a better deal all the way around. Not only will the committee know the field it has to choose from, but the candidates will be uble to put forward their own names. What this will do to the “gravy” system is Another story. The bid system is not new, however. At the first of the year John Dick asked living or ganizations to round up their activity names, persons interested in this type of work and capable. Some of these lists came iii padded beyond reason, others skimpy and incomplete. It did not take long to exhaust what was at hand, while at the same time there was plenty of other material around unlisted. The trouble with any volunteering is get ting up ambition to go out and do it, and this is the key to the success or failure of what the executive committee is trying to do. It the crop of bids is light or nonexistent it is a foregone conclusion the committee will waste no time scrapping its system. As a matter of fact, the whole thing probably depends upon the first tryout, which is for the Dads’ Day chairmanship. This will be decided Monday, and if the committee finds no response' to its offer tile death of the plan will be swift and I sure. Jobs have gone begging before for the lack , of takers, but if the new system is allowed to die this time it will have a long, rough road back. One thing which makes itself felt with this move is that the executive committee is striv ing to progress.
