Throughout the singularly unexciting campaign,.it became at least vaguely appar- ent to voters, that more than ever, the left-over war problems were pressing. And now that the more-or-less empty and bland promises and opinions have served their purpose, it should be reasonably expected that some down to earth work will be done. U.S. relations with the rest of the world, and particularly with Russia will perhaps pose the biggest headaches. The failure to follow a clear, efficient policy in the German Occupation, has brought Russo- American relations to their lowest ebb, helped by the "stop-the-Reds" instead of "help-the-liberals" attitude toward the so- called "potential" satellites. The avoidance of either the too much dis- eussed 30-day atomic war or another full fledged world war rests squarely with the present administration. Only the most skill- ful and efficient administration of the Mar- Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by member, of The Daily staff 4nd represent the views of the writers only. NIGHT EDITOR: DICK MALOY shall Plan, and the most tactful diplomacy u ie nextiour years can allow us to say truthfully that we did our part. Nor will the cries of "Reds in high places" be lessened because the election is over. The headlines may not be so glaring, but the administration will have no easy fight to keep the United States from the totalitarian purge system. On the domestic scene, of course, high prices provide the most immediate problem and cry for the quickest action. Talk has been big and promises numerous in the campaign, but the voters rightly expect deci- sive and effective action. We've heard plenty of talk about housing too and promises from all sides for "federal aid" to alleviate the situation. But the ad- ministration won't be able to move forward on low-cost housing by lifting rent-controls, iiiranteeing rental yields and giving tax benefits to landlords. If the government is nou p epared to stand up against the big real estate interests, the dreams of adequate housing and slum. clearance will remain in their present, discouragingly nebulous state. Similarly, no progress can be made in st bilizing labor-management relations without a concrete attempt to equalize "advantages." The Taft-Hartley Act was a far cry from any sort of settlement, and the labor picture will look even bleaker if things are allowed "just to ride." Whatever the feelings behind the sten- torian cries for unity voiced in the past few weeks, it should be fairly evident that these problems demand at least a united determination to find the best solution. --Naomi Stern. Worth a Chance UNIVERSITY OFFICIALS have provided an office where all seniors, graduates and staff members may register to get per- manent jobs, but it seems to be forgotten. Of the 6,000 seniors scheduled to grad- uate in February, June and August only some 1,000 students have filed application blanks with the University Bureau of Appointments and Occupational Informa- tion. Apparently the other 5,000 students do not realize the benefits that may be obtained from this Bureau's service. The Bureau has a dual purpose in its campus life. It counsels students in choosing a specialized field. And it tries to place every applicant in a suitable job. Each year hundreds of employers write for recommendations of students or come to the campus for personnel interviews. Staff mem- bers find students who fit the employers qualifications, send recommendations of them and make appointments with the stu- dents for interviews. Bureau members stress that students do not realize the importance of these filed recommendations. Last year alone 16,000 sets of credentials were sent out to prospective employers. The student plays a small part in actually finding a job, if he uses the Bureau's serv- ices. After he has filled out the application, which includes getting recommendations from three professors and a picture of him- self he may sit back while the Bureau goes to work. Members duplicate the recommendations and file them. They arrange for interviews at the University and hand out countless introductory letters to students who go job seeking on their own. They keep a file of every student registered which enables them to find better jobs for persons who have become experienced. Students who have leads for jobs through their family or.friends may request the Bureau to send their credentials to the prospective em- ployer. ,By spending a small amount of time in registering now, today's senior may find his life's work. It's worth the chance. -Joyce Andrews. Speakers ar STUDENT OPINION like national opinion, although easily aroused, taks a long time to be channeled into effective action. But at last, in the case of the political speakers' ban, student groups are organizing themselves to present a united front to a meeting of the Regents. They have learned through futile efforts that at least on one point, Tom Dewey is right: We've got t have unity to effect our ends. So far, the Inter-Racial Association, Hillel, AVC, UWF, Young Democrats, Wal- lace Progressives, and NSA have joined in sponsoring a drive to get a majority of the students signed in f.avor of lifting the ban. AIM, SRA, Sigma Delta Tau have unofficially endorsed the plan and are expected to sign as soon as their organiza- tions meet. It is to be hoped that IFC, Panhell, and Assembly, as well as the Stu- dent Legislature, will approve of the peti- tion. There will be some who argue that it is too late-that the national election is over and the Regents may be considered as hav- ing won their point. In this light, they are partially right. Students were not allowed to hear different viewpoints on the campaign and were forced to seek their information in other and sometimes rather questionable sources. Some no doubt became converted to one idea or philosophy by indoctrination, without being given the chance to hear a refutation of that point of view. If this be education, then we question its value. But the battle is not over with the skir- mish. There are other issues, other cam- paigns. The ban also forbids students gath- ering to discuss political subjects-forbids "spontaneous" gatherings except, under our newest interpretations, between the hours of noon and four p.m. How can anyone be spontaneous between noon and four p.m.? And even this idea on our part is avoid- ing the fact that there will be elections in 1950, 1952, and we hope for as long as the United States Government exists. Are Michigan students to be forever prevented from expressing themselves in these cam- paigns? This now is to be the issue on which these groups can base their demand for the right to hear and be heard. It is a part of our academic freedoms which General Eisen- hower wholeheartedly endorsed in his speech at the time 'of his installation as President of Columbia. We have the right to learn as individuals, we should certainly have that right as students. On how we present our arguments to the Board of Regents, on the unity which backs that argument will be based our hopes for a sound policy to govern the University's attitude towards academic freedom in years to come. -Don McNeil. Locked0 WTHEN DETROIT'S televisJon :taion WWJ-TV generously donated Iwo tele- vision receivers to the University, it intended that they should provide education and en- tertainment for all students, and that no special group should use either receiver for its private profit. With the set located in the League's Grand Rapids room, the only set provided for public use, this objec- tive is being disregarded. The Grand Rapids room is locked on Friday and Saturday evenings to all except those who have paid to enter Campus Casbah. Anyone who wants only to use the television set must pay $1.25 to enter the dance, though he doesn't want to dance, or he can't gain access to the set. W ask that Campus Casbah's unfair ex- ploitation of the television receiver be stopped immediately by University author- ities. If the Casbai management is afraid people will enter t he dcaynce throfig the Grand Rapids room with iout paying admis- sion, let it station a 'ard at the room's Casbah entrance, as it does on the stairs leading to the ballroom. The television set does niot. belong to Campus Casbah. It belongs to the entire student body, which has a right to enjoy it-even on Friday and Saturday nights. -James Gregory.

I_ - - DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN MATTER OF FACT: Dull Campaign By JOSEPH AND STEWART ALSOP WASHINGTON-Everyone is glad that the campaign is over, mainly because the campaign has been a bore. It is strange that it should have been a bore-this contest in a time of crisis for the most powerful office in the world. Yet it has been a bore. It is im- portant to try to understand why. One reason is that Thomas E. Dewey, has waged a notably unexciting campaign. In part this has been by design. But in part it has resulted from the quality of the man himself. A speech by Dewey was a curious experi- ence to the listener. His speeches have been, on the whole, fine speeches, admirably written. Moreover, Dewey's timing, the rise and fall of his voice, his gestures, are almost perfect. To hear such a man in such times as these should be a moving experience. Yet it is not. There is something oddly disap- pointing about the experience, something mechanical, over-rehearsed, a trifle chilling. This suggests Dewey's gravest weakness, weakness which is also a fact of very great political importance. For he still lacks the quality (which such men as Franklin Roosevelt, Wendell Willkie and Al Smith so notably had) which fires the imagination and captures the personal loy- alty of masses of the voters. A very high proportion of Dewey votes will really be anti-Truman votes. If Dewey is to become the kind of Pres- ident he wants to be, this must be changed. In the troubled years which lie ahead, the job of the Presidency will not be confined to oiling the creaking wheels of government, important as this task may be. The next President will have to make de- cisions-such as the rearmament of Western europe-which will be immensely unpopular with a great many immensely important people, including a large proportion of the Republican leadership. And he will have to make these decisions stick, in the face of bitter opposition in Congress and out. To do this more will be needed than competence, more than the genius for po- litical organization which Dewey and his staff have consistently displayed. It will achieve some human and intangible quality which, despite his manifest virtues, he still lacks. Yet one thing is true. Dewey has grown in personal stature in recent years as much as any man in public life. And the Presidency forces growth on a man, as surely as growth is forced on plants in a hothouse. The tragedy of Truman is simply that, despite the best of intentions, his capacity for growth is sharply limited, and the voters have sensed as much. This too has contributed to the tedium of this dull campaign, for it has all but completely robbed Truman of a chance of reelection, and has thus destroyed the suspense of the contest. Yet, though the division between Right and Left is more clearly marked than ever before, there is still no issue which deeply divides the American people. There is almost total agreement on foreign policy, as the Wallace fiasco demonstrates. And at home, in these booming times, there is no real bitterness, Taft-Hartley or no Taft-Hartley. Perhaps that, more than anything else, accounts for the dullness of the campaign. And it is something for which the price of a little boredom may thankfully be paid. Copyright, 1948, New York Herald Tribune Inc.) We dislike to be alarmists in these jittery times, but we feel it our duty to warn that another sinister threat to the established or- der is developing. It is an organized attempt to regiment the free citizens of this republic into eating cranberries with chicken. So zealous have become these radicals, who call themselves the Federation of Cranberry and Chicken Fanciers, that they are flooding the country with propaganda, and are no doubt this moment boring from within in high Government places. The exponents of this subversive proposal insist, like all revolutionaries, that they are actuated only by a humanitarian motive, that of bringing more variety to the Ameri- can table. The high cost of meat, they say,, -is causing people to eat more chicken. There- fore, to keep the chicken diet from becoming monotonous, cranberries should be added.
