is a plain business proposition.
It is necessary to elect officers in
order to organize the classes and it
is necessary to organize the classes
that they may carry on their inter-
class and social activities during the
year. The J-Hop, Sophomore Prom,
smokers and the spring and fall
games require the serv'ces of an effi-
cient group of business executivesI
and it is the duty of class members
to see that such officers are duly el-
ected at the appointed time-which is
today.
On several occasions in the past
Councilmen have sent home a handful
of students who came to the meeting
place, because an election held by a
two or three per cent representation
would be nothing short of a burlesque.
Had this small body of interested
students been elected to officially rep-
resent their class at all future gath-
erings, as a recognition for their in-
terest, there would have undoubtedly
been a storm of protest. However7
such a condition would be justified for
the absent members positively indi-
cate the low value they place upon
the right to vote by their absence.
..The action Governor Walton will
take now, after his defeat by the
people of the State of Oklahoma, will
definitely show his idea of "repre-

ment. Please consider the following
poem as a bit of additional proof. It

The Song of the Blue Spruce
They stand-those towering spruces
So sturdy, straight and tall,
Wind-swept by many a combat,
Storm-wrung from spring to fall.
Yet each straining struggle streng-

While the lashing, slashing branches

To the Editor:
In a reception to new students,
President J. 'B. Angell of Yale UIni-
versity recently sa'd, "You cannot
under the Federal law and you can-
not under the University law, bring
intoxicating liquors into any building
of the University. Whatever you may
think of the eighteenth amendment or
of the 'moderate use of liquor, this
rule holds". Ile further stated that
violation would mean d'smissal. He
gave his warning as follows: "The
University will not qPermit dissipa-
tion. No man can come to any great
success at Yale who is known to be
a dissipated man."
While this message is intended for
Yale students, it should be borne in
the minds of students here. The
rules. laid down by President Angellj
are intended to eliminate profligacy so
often indulged in by a certain number
of students. I need not cite any nci
dents of happenings in this Univer-
sity. Suffice to say that we all wish
for their extirpation.

SUCCESS TO THI 1'OINTER
(The Cornell Daily Sun)
The recent appearance of the Unit-
ed States Military Academy's student
publication, "The Pointer", with its
wide variety of topics, interesting in
general, although with a tendency to
be pertinent to things solely West
Point in their application, compels
the admiration. of anyone faimliar
with the trials and time atendant up-
on producing such a paper, and es-
pecially when it is considered the in-
tensive and rigidly programmnied day
which the cadets are forced to spend.
Leisure is at a premium, and is prac-
tically the only opportunity which the
editors have for doing their work. he
paper is in no ways a means of avoid-
ing strict adherence to the curricu-
lum.
Whether or not a graduate of the
Military Academy would be any less
efficient as a commanding officer had
he been allowed a little more latitude
in pursuance of such activities is a
question hardly worthy the argument.
But West Point has this to its cred't:
what it does, it does thoroughly, and
with little temporizing. It is, then,
to be hoped that the new publication
can look forward to a long and ever
increasing success, and not become a
martyr to honest journalism, as did
its predecessor several years ago, for
daring to question or erticize a su-
perior officer.
