To me or you or any

know how to conduct themselves
as gentlemen. Such is not the
case. Instead, they think it fun

which is neither yours nor mine.
They are the lowest of the low.
What is a sense of humor? Ask
the man who owns one. Any
man on the street has it. A
sense of humor is a sense of pro

the deadly quiet of a study hour

ought to be done about it. There

Along with the rest of the
general illiterate electorate,
weve been following the cur
rent political rodeo from the in
nocuous mouthings of the near-
y-Throttlebottomed Mr. Smith
to the munificent platitudes of
the present incumbent. Not
quite being twenty-one, ; on No
vember 8 we can throw over the
whole business and do a George
Jean Nathan. But despite our
electoral reticence, we have been
looking the situation over with
open eyes.
We've noticed particularly
that the younger generation has
put its oar into the troubled sea
with delicately phrased chalk
exhortations on Chapel Hill side
walks and board fences. The
best of these, we saw Tuesday be
(By Vergil J. Lee, Tar Heel Editorial Board)
The recently completed presidential poll conducted by the Daily
Princetonian has created quite a stir. This is especially true
among those persons who believed that Governor Roosevelt would
keep up his good work' as exemplified by the Literary Digest's
straw vote. The efforts of the Democrats to scoff at and belittle
the figures showing Hoover leading the New York executive by
a vote of 28 180 to 17,712 will remain impotent until cold igures
are brought to light which challenge the validity of the tabulation.
Attacking the problem from the non-partisan standpoint, we
come upon some interesting disclosures. At the outset, we might
say that the survey included 46 colleges and universities m all
parts of the country; twelve in New England; seven in the East
proper (N. Y., N. J., Penn., Del., Md., W. Va.) ; nine in the south
(includes the so-called solid South, with addition of Kentucky and
the exception of Texas) ; nine in the mid-west (O., 111., Ind., Iowa,
Mich., Wis., Minn., N. D.v, S. D., Neb., Kas., Mo.); three in the
south-west (Texas, Okla., Ariz., N. M.) ; two in the west (Mont.,
Wy., Col., Utah, Id., Nev.) ; and three on the Pacific coast (Wash.,
Ore., Cal.) . . ,
A glance at the accompanying table will immediately show the
greatly over-balanced character of the poll. New England, for
example, (which is solely and exclusively Republican in the Lit
erary Digest's survey) exhibits' a percentage of fifty seven in the
number of students canvassed relative to the total number of stu
dents in the New England section. Contrast this with the other
sections of the country in wrhich Roosevelt sentiment is strong
est; East, 23 per cent; South, 23 per cent; Mid-west, 33 per cent;
South-west, 31 per cent; West, 18 per cent; Pacific Coast, 49 per
cent. "
Furthermore, when we consider the various manners in which
the student bodies were polled some voting en masse; others
voting individually and at will we can state rather conclusively
that, although the Daily Princetonian meant well and deserves
great credit for its efforts, the way in which the survey was con
ducted lead to a greatly distorted and partially fallascious picture
of American college students' political preferences.

And along this same line,
since politics rules the day, we
have jotted down here several
little lyrics from a political sa
tire which we wrote this sum
mer and worked all Fall to have
published. It is here apparent
that our efforts were negative.
The first was in reference to
slurs cast on one of the prin
cipal characters a year or two
after 1928 and ran:
"Humpty-Dumpty sat on a plat
form, But he didn't risk to fall on his
flatform,
He straddled it tightly, kept still
as a mouse
And now he's th' incumbent up
at the White House."
