Politics rule the world — and Butler is included. Whether it be getting a grade or getting a date, politics always rears its head. Many of us found an outlet simply by sitting over the coffee cups, fanning smoke, and expounding our theories on what would have to be done in Washington if the perpetual turmoil were ever to unwind. Still others of us occupied ourselves with politics en the Butler scene. It may now seem unimportant, but once it was uppermost in the minds of many. The Student council supervised those trying encounters called elections. Floods of propaganda, crowded polls, beautiful girls bearing election day smiles and sandwich boards, contrasted to sober, passive faces on adamant students who insisted that it was all nonsense, characterized a typical election day. The confused ordeal had beccme more confused as the independents showed strength for a second year; then the tradi- tional caucuses joined, and the battle rolled on. Remember the Ware voting system? It left in ' 48.
