‘T am so thankful to be in America,
the land of the free. Sometimes I think
it is ju.st a wonderful dream, but then
I realize that I nm really here and
can thank God for such happiness.”
AA’ith this statement. Dr, Beale Berwin,
research worker and lecturer, began
her talk on her escape from Germany
to F. E. Thomas' history T classe.s,
Monday.
Mi.ss Berwin was horn in Germany
and lived there until the outbreak of
the war. She then registered with the
American consul and waited two and
a half year.s before she could come to
the T’nifed States.
Dr. Berwin declared. “.After the
hardships the German people suffered
after the first AVorld War, it is easy
to understand why they were eager to
fry a new system of governimuit that
promised so many wonderful things to
its followers, but if only they had been
able to look into Hie near future, they
would have stamped out this thing
called Nazism.”
She spoke of her personal (‘xpm-ieiices
in Germany, and said tlrnt because of
growing dilliculties, it wa.s almost im-
liossihle to live there. “1 myself, travel
ed a great deal and went hack only
when it wa.s necessary (o see* my rela
tives,” she* explain‘l.
Decided to Come to I'. S. A.
('onelitienis continued to greiw weirse,

Would Move Polls
To Main Building
Election plans will be radically
changed in the major spring campaign
this year when innovations, suedi as a
nominating convention, registration in
the main and science liuildings, and a
broader campaigning program will be
introduced, revealed Edwin Gentry,
chairman of the election-planning com
mittee, after the student council had
passed this bill, February 21.
Walking Across Stage Eliminated
Explaining the situation, Gentry de
clared that, unlike previous presenta
tions of candidates, students will this
year sit on the stage during the entire
program and rise only when their
qualifications are read by the presiding
officer.
Home Rooms to Weed Out Candidates
After the candidates have been pre
sented, a list of the various offices and
those seeking the berths will be sent
to the homerooms. There, the students
will choose the persons whom they wish
to nominate and a delegate to repre
sent the class at the nominating con
vention, Chairman Gentry continued.
Using the method of electing the fed
eral executives a.s a model, one dele
gate from each homeroom will be given
a number of votes in proportion to the
population of the room and will vote
as he is instructed liy the class. While
carrying a banner designating his home
room, this representative will rise and
reveal his homeroom's choice and num
ber of votes, when the .secretary calls
the roll at the iioininating convention
May 15.
Polls No Longer to Be in Gym
“SiiH-e the r‘gistration and votitig in
the gym has liecm unneces.sarily low in
the past two years, places of r(*gistra-
tion will he located at *ach eml of the
halls in the main >ind science hiiildings,
under the new scheme. However, only
two polls in the main tmiiding will he
ventioi!, cliiiii'inan Gentry continiierl.
After the nominating convention, in
which all hut two camlidates for the
tirincipal offices will be eliminaterl, those
stiKhTJts remaining in the race will
make a brief, snappy speech at the end
of an assembly program.
