Cheerleaders and Cheerers
Why Not Cheers? '
In the midst of the great show of interest and
enthusiasm over the past elections, one man
was elected unanimously. This was a rather
strange event in an election which saw majori
ties as close as eleven votes. Either the new
cheerleader was a man of such extra-ordinary
ability as to discourage any competition, or the
student body took such little interest in cheer
ing that it offered no other candidate.
It takes but very little research to determine
which of these is the truth. Fortunately the
new cheerleader is a very able and conscientious
one, but the real reason for the unanimity of his
election was a lack of interest on the part of the
students. Not one. of more than two thousands
students had enough interest to get out and op-

for the classes to take a real voice in the manage

There is still time to procure a far more rea
sonable orchestra within the state and save some
half a thousand dollars. There is still time to
reduce the outlay for decorations and avoid the
chance of additional expense to members of the
two classes. There is still time to free the Uni
versity from the apparent hypocrisy of crying
for alms and expending huge and profligate
sums on unneeded luxuries. There is still time
to show the executive committees that there are
limits to which their abuse of power and trust
may go. Immediate action is demanded on the
