The extreme conservatism, ap- proaching over-pessimism, that hasj followed the stock market crashes is such as to warrant stinmulant~s, even if they be only a psychological nature. They are at thiis time necessary to the continuance of prosperity. They should, however, be served with caution. Inevitable danger lies ahead if the: country I is worked into an over-optimistic state.

Gentry ,ATURJ-AY, NOVEMBE4~ 30, 1929 THE QUESTION The question of whether or not the mlerit system. is to be estab-I lished in tihe selection of officers of the Union lhas been previously dis- cussed pro''and conl from almost every angle. All students who are interested in seeing the Union rte-c moved from the hands of an incom-i peteni and uninformed electorate are well acquainted with the sub- ject. Their memories need no stim- ulation. The real problem which will arise In passing an amendment effecting the selection of officers lies not in changing negative votes to positive, ,for the opposition to such a worthy and necessary measure is negligi- ble, but in arousing in those num- erous apathetic and disinterested persons somne definite opinions, which will be powerful and con- vincing enough to bring out the vote. This is not the first time the merit system in the Unton has come before the campus for a vote. Yet, each time it has been defeated because of lack of interest. No one will deny the value of the merit System, but on the other hand, no one will do anything to remedy the existing situation, except for a! small and vitally interested group. No definite proposals have as yet been formulated to place before the members of the Union, but such a tplan is expected to be forthcoming= In the .near future. When- it does,1 Its fate will 'est in the none-too- * gentle hands of the voters; its suc- cess - will depend on the interest of the student body. The Union should be a real nmen's club in fact as well as in name, but until a spirit of warmth and a tra- dition grow up around it, it will remain nothing more than a build- ing where one can waste a few idle moments.
