Of all the spontaneous burstsof enthusiasm and wit, that whichissued forth at the Athletic Asso-dation banquet was one of themost genuine. 'l'he Faculty, ar-rayed in jaunty caps and daintyaprons, made charming waitressesand waiters. Dr. Leib, to be sure,aid slightly resemble a chef butwith the aid of one's imaginationhe also made a11excellent waiter.Table vied with table in cheeringand singing to their ,rbutler" or"maid." The precarious positionof De. l\Iorris' cap, if it might becalled a cap caused much 8urmis-ing, for it most ecrtainly was notthe law of gravity which held it011.

WHY NOT MORJii FORE_THOUGHT?

During the past few weeksen.'ry organization has held elec~tions to sdcct the new officers forthe ('ominer year. Elections arellsually ratlH',l' interesting ar..dcall fort h a lat'ge attendance. Bntthis year is a shameful exception.Stud~nt Government, ServiceLeague and class meetings havehad to be pQstponed becanse therelws not bcrn a b'1.l.fficientnumbe],present. 'fhere must be some ex-planation for thi~ unaccountab~f'slackening of interest. Sm'ely itmatters who has charge of the va-rious organizations.Perhaps it is because we han'

become hored ,nth the manner ofelecting that we fail to respond.Certain ly the nsua! procedure isalarming. When the ehair is opento receivp nominations, usuallythere occurs a silence which wouldlead one to think that the matterof a president for the next yearhad come to the public mind forthe first time, Forethought is ap-parently not essential to the hap-

py selection of .. just the r ghtpet-son. I'

Nominat ious occur by acclamat ion : this. method is much thoquicker wav. After the fir"nomination is seconded, the nom i-nations are clo en. to prevent the»ecessitv and bother of balloting.Besides this way is quicker thanballoting. Therefore just votell:v neclamation.
