Clean Sweep
Of Elections
State Street Barely Beats
Washtenaw In Literary
College Soph Voting
Independents Give
Leaders Stiff Fight
Fred Osberg Is Elected
Sophomore Engineering
Leader By 15 Votes
A quickly organized independent
party made a clean sweep of the.
sophomore engineering class offices
in the election yesterday, while in
the literary college the State Street
Party beat out the Washtenaw Coali-
tion Party by a small majority, with
strong third party voting by inde-
pendents.
In every office the Sophomore In-
dependent Engineers gained an ad-
vantage ranging from one to 22 votes.
Fred Osberg, S.I.E. candidate forJ
president drew 15 more votes than
his rival, Charles Kettler, to win,
64-49. For vice-president, Bob Hart-
well won over Don Siegel with a seven
vote margin, 62-55, whilePeter Ipsen,
also S.I.E., took a 15 vote lead over
Leonard Orr and won the election
for secretary by 64-49.
Hird Battles
Tim Hird, Independent Tech hope,
put up the hardest battle of the day1
when he lost by one vote to Don Per-
cival by 69-68. The other Independ-
ent Tech nominees, John Parker and1
Bill Worthing were outnumbered by
13 and 22 votes respectively as Ed
Lebeis was elected to fill the three1
year Engineering Council job by a
64-51 ballot, and Harold Spoden
took the decision by a 68-46 count
for the two year Honor Council post.'
The election of a straight inde-
pendent ticket is the first in a num-
ber of years and came as a surprise'
to both parties concerned. The S.I.E.
party was hastily organized late
Tuesday afternoon, and handed in its'
list of candidates just in time for
the 4:30 p.m. deadline.
The results in the Literary College
were unexpected only in the number
of votes cast for the independent third
party, as the State Street and Wash-
tenaw Coalition parties ran a very
close race.
Hook Wins
For the office of president, Wally
Hook won over Frank Husemen by
143-135, with the independent can-
didate, Dan Smick drawing 97 votes.
Betty Lyons won the vice-presidency
with 144 votes while Harriet Pom-
eroy, Washtenaw, drew 138, and El-
izabeth White, independent, drew 82.
In the race for the secretaryship, the
141 votes cast for Rebecca Bursley
outnumbered Jenny Petersen with
134, and Elizabeth Spooner with 100.
John Jordan, who polled only 132
votes and John Thompson, who
polled 99 votes, were defeated by
Stuart Low, whose 145 votes repre-
sented the highest number cast for
any of the officers-elect.
Though the voting machines, sup-
plied through the courtesy of the;
Automatic Voting Co., were not ready
at the opening of the polls, they were
soon placed in operation, and the bal-
loting carried through smoothly to
the end.
Announcement of the date of the
senior elections to be held in two
weeks was made last night by Mil-
ter Shrwood, '37, president of the
Men's Council .
Triangles Initiate
Seven Members
The initiation of seven new men
was announced last night by Tri-
angles, honorary engineering society
for juniors. A banquet was given last
night in the Union as the concluding
portion of the initiation.
The men added are Fred Boynton,
Edward Kirar, Mather W. McLean,
George Marzonie, Fletcher Platt, Ed-
ward Replogle and John Staple.
At the dinner Neil Levenson acted
as toastmaster, Hubert C. Fones,
president . of the society, welcomed
the new initiates and Prof. H. C.
Anderson, head of the mechanical en-
on behalf of the faculty.

ern poets should find a source of in-
spiration in machinery he said, al-
though machinery should be treated
as a symbol of our way of living.
Engle discussed the use of slang in
poetry briefly, saying that slang lends
an essential feeling of spontanity to
verse.
Interspersed through the lecture
were readings from the speaker's own
Nworks, which he used as examples of
development of an inspiration or
theme. In this connection he re-
counted an experience from his Eur-
opean travels, when the report of the
abortive Nazi putsch in Vienna of
two years ago came over the radio.
Hurrying to the Austrian capital from
a border village of Bavaria where
he was at the time, Engle found the
inspiration for an entire volume on
the prevalent spirit in Europe, which
he wrote in the Tyrol a short time
later.
After the lecture, Engle was present
at a tea in the Hopwood room, where
he discussed his recent European tour
briefly, stating the opinion that while
a great mass literature may develop
from experiments now being carried
on in Russia, chances for a similar
movement in Italy or Germany are
extremely remote. "Culture is a word
of contempt in the fascist countries,"
he said.
Between puffs on a short briar pipe,
Engle described recent attempts at
mass literature by Gorky and others,
the results of which will not be ap-
parent for some time.
He expressed himself as opposed
to "propaganda poets," as "defeat-
ing their own ends," saying that
poetry should be an expression of
the writer's self rather than of his
convictions. Political beliefs which
are so strong as to become a part of
the individual's character, however,
are not, properly speaking, prop-
aganda, he pointed out.

NEW YORK, Oct. 28.-(UP)-Gov-
ernor Alf M. Landon arrived in New
York today for two days of cam-
paigning xn the metropolitan area
for the state's 47 electoral votes.
A few minutes before his arrivall
he spoke in Newark, N. J., empha-

In his first personal appeal for

fore entering New York, the Repub-
lican nominee told a throng over-
flowing 4,500 seats in the Mosque
Theatre in Newark:
"I would like the workers of Amer-
ica, whether they are organized or
unorganized, to understand clearly
that their problems are familiar to
me; that I myself have worked with
my own hands; that I have earned
wages, and that I am in deep sym-

The annual meeting of the Coun-
cil at Dean Bursley's home was in-
tended to be an informal meeting
presenting an opportunity for discus-
sion and getting acquainted, Bursley
said. Rushing was the first topic
to be discussed but no definite pro-
posals were framed to improve the
present system.
The discussion inevitably turned
to dormitories and Dean Bursley ex-
pressed the attitude he has had for
the past 15 years on dormitories for
men. "There is no question about
the need for men's dormitories and
that they will come sooner or later,"c
he declared, "and if the students1
can accelerate the movement sol
much the better for the future stu-
dent body."
In the ensuing discussion the gen-
eral sentiment expressed by most of
the men present was in favor of"
building a freshman dormitory and
in getting the impetus for that proj-
ect from the student body.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28.-W)-
A shipping paralysis crept slowly over
West Coast waterfronts tonight with
the approach of midnight-zero hour
for a long-threatened maritime strike.
Employers met with representa-
tives of two unions in a "final" but
fruitless effort to get together on
pending peace proposals, and police
in some cities took preliminary steps
to preserve order in the event of a
walkout which might involve 37,000
workers.
Union leaders privately expressed a
belief that only the intervention of
President Roosevelt could avert the
strike, destined to start at midnight.
(3 a.m. E.S.T.) unless a last-minute
peace is effected.
Plans Meeting
Assistant Secretary of Labor E. F.
McGrady declined to abandon hope,
however, and was reported planning
to ask the unions to meet separately
with the shipowners in a final peace
effort.
The postoffice department trans-
ferred 200 pounches of Honolulu-
bound mail from the Matson liner
Maui to the Japanese liner Chi-
chibu Maru to prevent delay in case
of a walkout.
Along the San Francisco waterfront
ships were .diverted or cleared ahead
of schedule.
Only 16 vessels were in dock here,
11 of them having arrived last night.
Nine were scheduled to leave and
eight to arrive. The normal aver-
age is 50 movements daily. The
schedule for tomorrow called for the
arrival of only five and the depart-
ure of eleven. Six of the eleven
moved up their departure schedules
today.
Ships Tied Up
Employers reported six ships al-
ready tied up by "quickie" strikes
of unlicensed ship's personnel with a
variety of small demands.
A strike of longshoremen against
all vessels of the Luckenbach Steam-
ship Lines was called, but theco-

H.J. McFarlan, Weinstone
And Heiss Represent
Parties At Forum
Just how much the American sys-
tem of government should be changed
and by what means, was in spirited
discussion last night when represen-
tatives of the three minor political
parties in the 1936 election campaign
spoke at the Union in a forum spon-
sored by the Student Alliance.
Prof. Harold J. McFarlan of the
college of engineering took the So-
cialist position, with William Wein-
stone, state secretary of the Com-
munist Party speaking for that group
and Byron Heiss, instructor at Mich-
igan State Normal College speaking
for the Farmer-Labor faction, to a
half-filled ballroom.

He accused the Socialists of min-

the United States.
"The devil of fascism appears as

itself the American Liberty League.

sented by William Randolph Hearst
who is unquestionably one of them.
The most chauvinistic group of cap-
italists is connected with Hearst and
the Liberty League and support Lan-
don. His election would open the
door for fascism."
Professor McFarlan, answering the
Communist's thrusts, said:
"I do not minimize the dangers of
fascism. I saw it in Tampa and
Terra Haute, and in Ann Arbor here,
when the only newspaper says in an
editorial that an intelligent person
will choose fascism over commu-

one vote in this group, Lemke one,
and Browder none.
Governor Landon held a two to one
lead in the slight voting Tuesday
mostly from science departments in
the literary college, but it was wiped
out when returns came in yesterday
from the liberal arts departments of
the college where the President was
expected to pull his heaviest vote.
The Republican candidate con-
tinued to maintain his lead in the
engineering college and the science
departments of the literary college.
A part of the vote from the engineer-
ing college has not yet been returned,
but Governor Landon is expected to
maintain his advantage there.
Voting Divided
Voting was fairly well divided in
returns from the School of Business
Administration, School of Education
and College of Law. The dental
school went heavily Republican, while
no returns are available yet from
the College of Medicine or the School
of Music. The vote by departments
in the colleges will not be released.
Voting will continue today and also
tomorrow, if necessary, to get in
all the ballots that are voted. All
faculty members who have not yet
voted are asked to do so today. Bal-
lots may be obtained from the sec-
retary of each department or by call-
ing The Daily. If ballots are not
collected, The Daily should be noti-
fied.
