ELECTION The student elections held each spring at the University are wonderful things for many rea- sons. First of all, the loser needn't feel bad when he's been badly defeated because in the long run the office didn't amount to much anyway. Sec- ondly, the elections do permit one to know just who is behind him when a showdown comes. It is said that the best way to find out just who your friends are at the University is to run for an of- fice. Then when the votes are all counted, and you wonder who the other person was who put the X side of your name, you will know that dear old ma came out to school for the day and voted somehow. Election rules and methods have changed since the class of 1940 started at the school. In its freshman days, there were no rules about elec- tions, and this was bad, because no matter what you did, it was all right, and true politicians can- not operate on a basis such as that. Therefore, rules were made which prohibited campaigning in front of the Student Council office or in the room itself, and mailboxes were no longer to be used for campaigning literature. All of which was grand for now the students had some rules to break. QSee picture on this page of students cam- paigning beyond the neutral zone.j To go into the individuals and groups which play important parts in the elections, we dare not leave out Psi Chi Phi sorority. They spend more money each year for campaign material than Alpha Phi does for beer, and they make almost as much noise. The Psi Chis are usually lucky and get a couple or three candidates elected, which makes them top electioneers on the campus. Many in- teresting personalities have cropped up in elec- tions here. First we had Bud Littin who was elected senior class vice president on a no meat loaf in the cafeteria menu platform. And we had John Landwehr, who lost more elections than Henry Clay. Landwehr has run for everything but May Queen, and for a while last spring when he was letting his hair grow, the Alpha Kappa boys were afraid he was even going to try for that. On the page opposite this are some election scenes showing just how important this business is. First we see a Psi Chi with a campaign sign on her back in the Student Council office tallying a vote for another Psi Chi candidate. Next we see on the right the secret ballot, or, don't print too plainly, we'll throw it away anyhow. Next we see the ubiquitous Psi Chis standing around a dummy. That squinted look in Jerry Chase's eyes is not because of the sun. She's trying to sight another vote. And the other pictures are more propa- ganda, evidence of what goes on at the University on election day.
