Kow that nominations have
tame off for the various student
rfkes we are again ready to listen to all the ballyhoo of the
tampus poUticians. It seems that
jiere is something inherent in
the American system of politics
which makes it impossible for
anyone to accomplish anything
without having friends and supporters on the firing line shooting irrelevant campaign talk at
the innocent citjien. The result
ii that the public usually becomes so befuddled that it places
the man it doesn't wsnt into office. We can't think of any way
that this can be changed unless
we scrap the whole system, but
since this is impossible at the
moment, we can only hope that
those who connect themselves
with the oncoming school elections will let the students themselves judge the merits of the
various candidates without be-
Johnny Said, the student
president, reports that the ninth
annual convention of the National Students Federation held
at Washington was a grand suc-
een. It may have been, and we
hope it was. But we can't tell as
yet what tangible benefit has
been derived. In the present
order of things, what college
students, nay, even what college
professors think, is not considered to be worth very much. As
a matter of fact, the pastime of
many of our people is to make
fun of everything that some pro- [,
feasors say, or do, or think. So,
aa far as the practicalities of the
convention's success go, there
•ren't any apparent. We may

The Christmas holidays came
just in time to postpone discussions on one of the hottest questions thst have come up this
year ... that of the Mu Alpha
Delta tangle and re-zoning. The
fraternity members have a good
case on their side. Everyone
knows that. Today, because of
the rather foolish ordinance
which prevents fraternity members from living near the college,
the Mu Alphas are scattered all
over the town, and don't really
Imow where to go. We hope they
*un't give up the fight for re-
«aiiig. It is their fight and the
f-ilege's fight, and to carry it to
ih conclusion would be to put a
uefmite end to the bickerings and
