POLITICIANS
Some Candidates
Deserve Votes
This editorial is primarily an
open letter to freshmen, but it
applies to all students of any
classification wary of the cam
pus politician the back-slapper
around the YMCA, or the lad
who's suddenly become friendly,
after his candidacy has been an
nounced.
It's easy for this politicking"
to become too obvious, and the
result is often a general wave of
revulsion to all politicians and
all politics.
Nine times out of ten this at
titude of revulsion is un-de-served.
The establishment of the two
party system on ths campus in
1935 has resulted in a constantly
increasing effort on both sides
of the political fence to nominate
capable men for office.
It's an old political maxim that
"if you run a good man, you'll
win." The provision, however,
doesn't provide for the case of a
good man versus a good man
but the voters gain anyway.
It is quite possible that politics
and its discussion are over-emphasized.
This field gets a far
greater proportion of newspaper
space, both local and state-wide,
than any other subject except
crime.
But the argument is quite
good: each citizen is controlled
by politics. Legislators elected
by him make laws respecting his
living conditions, insurance, even
his business.

Wednesday night. The story goes
that a certain professor on the hill
was called on an errand in the village
early that evening, and leaving his car
parked outside with the lights on,
went in to take care of his business.
On coming out, he walked home and
went to bed, having forgotten that he
had come in his
car.
"Next morning
the professor arose
with five minutes
to get to class.
Hurrying out to
get his car, he na

it had been stolen,

back he remember

Engineering students are famous
for their mathematical approach to all
phases of life and University of Min-
Inesota engineers are no exception.
They've started a move to publish a
list of all jokes used by their profes
sors, a list that will classify and num
ber all wise-cracks and favorite stories
of the pedagogues. Chief reason for
the project is that it will be a time-
saver Sot all concerned, for in the
future professors will merely give the
number of their joke when they feel
the moment has arrived to spice their
lectures with a touch of levity.

Professor Seba Eldridge, University
of Kansas sociologist, gets the plush
gonfalon in the race to determine the
most absent-minded professor.
A few nights ago he left his home,

police to search for him, for she fear
ed something dire had happened.
At 9 p. m., however, Professor Eld
ridge calmly walked into his home, en
tirely unaware of the search. He had
merely neglected to mention he was
going out also to attend ' a dinner
meeting of one of his classes!
