Take it easy, all along, and if the upperclassmen want you they'll come after you. They'll probably take up a good bit of your time till you do give in. But stall 'em off until you are satisfied that you have made up . your mind. ,There is not a thing to lose by mak ing sure. If you have any questions to ask, ask them now if the upperclassmen have made any attempt to bid you. Ask about house finances, dues, initia tion fees, ask all you want. . And one more thing, remember that if you-do go frat you haven't entered the kingdom; there are just as many sorry fellows who pledge frater nities as there are good men who can't. ' u tt. Frosh Elections ' - - , - "i Set For Thursday (Continued from first page) organizing, they are doing so without party support. (The Student party leadership is composed chiefly of non-fraternity men, and the University heads are chiefly fraternity members, though both parties have at times endorsed an "out sider.") Cole readily admitted a few days ago that the Student party will make itself felt during the campaign, and declared, "The Ionia Tn-tmnpn rvF tho STilrionT no T 4-T Ainiiiil tmavaItt nrnnrari rr can Yna CAT fT o I Of r tile vajuiiiii mcicij vvautcu wv vj. v,v. .

The council pulled this quick freshman election on everybody. The first thing that came into the minds of the fraternity men who usually take particular inter est in these fall campaigns was that Brother Bob Magill, swept into office on the Student Party ticket last spring, was taking this opportunity to help out his old crowd by pulling the freshman elections before pledging time, before the frater nity men could possibly organize effectively. This is not what happened, of course. Bob and ti-tt :.v.. ;v. V6 v "r- 1 . m 1 41 Mir r; 'Vs.-- v-ll i ..aa FT " ' - -- ,;. :.

The ates were withheld from publication until this morn ing for that very particular reason. But from Bill Cole's statement" in Friday's naner it anDears that the Student party, unham- JT . . pered by any rushing rules of silence before now or by the necessity for "pledging" before the vote Thursday, is going to enter the campaign very definitely. The frat boys say they are at a disadvantage. The council's reply would be, of course, that the Student party, if it does enter the race, will be running men who, by the end of two weeks, might be fraternity: pledges! Anyway the coun cil which decided upon the quick election was made up of only three out and out Student party men, two University party men, two hold-overs from the year before, and three representatives of the professional schools. What's Your Address The fraternity men might attempt to go. ahead with their regular plans, for in their approach to the freshmen these first few nights of rushing, they can explain that, after all, regardless of which way the' freshmen pledge they'll have a common interest with fraternity men and should cooperate right now even before they arrive at the full status of a particular pledge. For the fellows who can never join a fraternity but want to cast their lot with the old political machine also, now's certainly a time when they can insratiate themselves with the .fraternity men by "helping out" in this week's campaign. And there is one more ace in the sleeve for the fraternity men (to help them over the difficulties of the situation) : they can now run a prospective pledge "for president of the class when heretofore they have been forced, by the rules of good poli tics, to head their ticket with a non-frat man. You see there will be no fraternity freshmen this week, rushing isn't over. Any fellow can run for president, even if he might go f rat-man "in fortnight." Murnick's stand was that "The University party never has participated in freshman elections and has no intention o taking part in this one." Cole made a plea that there be no Universitv party controlled "John Doe" party in the elec tions. "Let's brine: the whole thing out in the open," he said. President Magill of the Stu dent council expressed the hope yesterday that by moving up the time of the election the freshmen will be able to enter into the spirit of the campaign, nominate their own choices and elect them on their own records without intervention from the upperclass politicians. In elaborating on the coun cil's introduction of the new method of balloting, Magill said he believed the, preferential bal lot would prove more satisfac torv than , the old style. Last year's election and previous ones had a small number of candi dates, usually not more than three, but this year, due to the absence of party control and party backing for particular candidates, there will probably be a larger number of aspirants in the field, making necessary the preferential ballot, said Ma- gill. ,v:...... The technique, of the new bal loting system was explained to the council by E. J. Woodhouse of the political science depart ment and adopted by the stu dent governing body.

Bottom: A watercolor sketch entitled ."Landscape" by J. L. Smith, professor of French m the University, and student in the art department. Second prize went to Annie Tucker, and the third place was divided between Miss Hodges, Irmy McCurdy, and Wautel Seldon. The reproductions were made through the courtesy of Ken neth W. Whitsettof the Picto rial Engraving company of Cha'rlotte. Smith Says Professor Russell Smith, head of the art department, plans an other exhibit at the end of this year. "The new department has . become less of a curiosity and more of a serious business now," said Professor Smith, referring to the increase in enrollment this year and the larger number of students who are majoring in art. Twenty-two students entered the exhibit which totaled 81 pieces. Subject matter was dis tributed between portraiture, landscape and still life in the varying media of oil, water color, pastel, charcoal, pencil drawing, and linoleum cuts. Professor Smith expressed pleasure in the work of the stu dents last year, the large per centage of progress evident throughout the year, and in the general enthusiasm and coopera tion" shown to this new depart ment. I In 1894 Sir Anthony Hope Hawkins wrote the "Prisoner of Zenda" and 'founded what was known as Ruritania romance, or the school of the mythical-kingdom novelist, which in turn founded the musical-comedy stage, then Holly wood. - The story is of spirited adventure and intrigue in high places. It set the pace for the novels, plays, and musical comedies of the nineties and" has fascinated readers for years. David O. Selz nick maintains that it still does. "The picture is to prove his premise," says Beverly Hills in LIBERTY, "and the result is great entertainment from any viewpoint. There is somethings reminiscent of a forgotten but good cinema era in the clank of sabers, the melodramatic hatch ing of plots in shadowy forests,, the castle dungeons, the lovely court women." Picked by many publications as the best picture of its week of release; with photography which makes it Madeleine Carroll's most 'beautiful' pic ture ; and with Ronald Colman in a sword-fighting romantic role there is every reason not to miss this show on Thursday and Friday.

MILK IN ICE ' A mixture of water and skimmed milk sounds rather weak, but it doesn't seem to apply to the opinions expressed of Sonja Henie's new picture "Thin Ice." If it had suited, the reviewers would have been furnished an opportunity for some swell punning. Real ice photographs murkily. It soaks up all the light. Therefore Hollywood makes special ice by the above recipe and Miss Henie's 80 ballet skaters are furnished with a glittering and icy background for the three elaborate skating ballets. i The "One In A Million" girl is costarred with Tyrone Power this time. "This lacks the. sheer novelty of Sonja Henie's first skating film, but it has charm, brightness and the romantic, teamwork of Sonja and Tyrone Power,' writes Miss Hills and LIBERTY places three stars (excellent) opposite. A drop from the four stars (extraordinary) of "Zenda." Movie fans are supposed to get an extra thrill out of the love scenes, according to Hollywood publicity, as they say the two are that-a-way in clined. Plays Sunday and Monday. From the maid in a million we come to the million dollar babe." Dolores Del Rio for many years was considered too beautiful to be wasted on anything but a million dollar production. But by soine freak of the box office results the mil lion dollars were usually wasted to the producer's sorrow.

After several years the producers decided that perhaps the "million dollar babe" might go better on her own merits without the elaborate sur roundings. Since then her beauty has been sur rounded by every type of story possible. "Lancer Spy," her latest, may be the one which makes her a great star.

Frances Dee and Olympe Bradna, the latter fresh from Paris, are the girls. "Bad editing has robbed the picture of its proper clar ity, but pleasant playing makes it more than satisfactory." And of "San Quentin" playing Salurday with Pat O'Brien STAGE says: "That never-named collaborator, Coincidence, raises a heavy hand to provide plot fare and" succeeds in jamming up what might have been another expert Warner melodrama.
