New Party Under Wraps; 'Birth' Expected Soon.
Rv TOM STEWART
The formation of a new campus political party, now in the "hush-hush" stage, should be in the open sometime in the next 10 days.
Bits and scraps of information have been learned from persons who will be affected by the arrival of the new party. Although none of these persons was anxious to discuss the subject, they revealed enough that a rough picture of the proposed party structure can be drawn.
There are now two major campus political parties, one of which is the entirely Greek Pachacamac, and the other of which is the almost entirely Independent group known as FACTS. Under the wing of Pach are the sorority party, NOW, and the proPach freshmen women of FOR.
If the new party jells the way informed sources say it will, it will effect a coalition of the remnants of FACTS and the discontented elements of NOW and Pach.
The extent of this discontent is measurable in the statement of one NOW delegate: "Td venture to say that over half the NOW houses would join the new party."
This estimate seems high, especially when one recalls that in the past NOW has grumbled many times but never has brought itself to any decisive action.
The NOW insurgents may wish to leave the Pach fold for several reasons. The one they wish to have publicized is that they are tired of "pettiness" in their present situation, and that they want to "raise the level of campus politics."
A more logical reason for NOW discontent is that Pach has traditionally "given" offices of secondary importance to NOW. When Pach is in a strong year, NOW can hope for nothing better than vice presidency of the All Student Council; if Pach,

though, can see a tight race for ASC candidates, the highest office which NOW is allowed to hope for is presidenc vof the senior class.
None of the persons interviewed would permit the names of themselves or their houses to be used in this story, but the list of NOW-rebels seems pretty definite. A touchier question is the naming of the houses which may bolt from Pach.
There is another side to the coin,

Summers to Attend AFROTC Meeting

up entirely of persons trying to secede from Pach. The rest of the new party's membership will be those who now are members of FACTS.
The time is ripe for FACTS members to be grafted into a new organization. If they don't, their cause will be lost, for their present party is showing signs of advanced decay. Reactly FACTS president David Miller, college sophomore, sent postcard messages announcing a meeting to determine whether the party faithful were ambitious enough for another election bout with Pachacamae.
"This is it," the cards read, "Come and support or kill your party and let's end the uncertainty." The vote taken at the meeting favored continuation of FACTS, but persons within the party have suggested that FACTS won't hesitate too long if invited to join the new party.
FACTS, like several other parties before it, has just about lived out its life. It was started in 1951 by a handful of Independents, and now that they have left, the party's original fire has begun to go out.
In the structure, the new party will be "representative" instead of "complete" in its democracy. FACTS present set-up is an example of the latter. Every member of the party has a vote in party matters. Such a policy, though, has proved weak, for it loads down the few who trouble themselves to attend meetings.
Therefore, there will be a core within the new party. It will be composed of elected delegates from houses which have voted to support the new group. The meetings of the central group will be open.
Whether or not the delegates will be given more than one vote if they represent an unusually large house probably hasn't yet been determined. Another unsolved problem is how to assemble units for representation among Independents living in private homes, as they have no organized house status.
These questions probably will have been answered in the coming 10 days of the new party's "incubation" period. If it should form, its candidates in the Spring elections may be the most varied slate ever presented by any campus party.
4 'Mass Produce Research Papers
A research paper every week—that's the quota of four students who work for the University's Government Research center.
They are William Patterson, Edward Chapman, and Jerome Lyasaught, college seniors; and Bruce Power, college junior. They are note-takers for all conferences held on the campus.
The job is not so tedious, Patterson says, even though the notes must be written up within a week after the close of a conference, because "the conferences are usually interesting as well as educational."

When you come right down to it, you smoke for one simple reason . . . enjoyment. And smoking enjoyment is all a matter of taste. Yes, taste is what counts in a cigarette. And Luckies taste better.
Two facts explain why Luckies taste better. First, L.S./M.F.T.-Lucky Strike means fine tobacco . . . light, mild, goodtasting tobacco. Second, Luckies are actually made better to taste better . . always round, firm, fully packed to draw freely and smoke evenly.
So, for the enjoyment you get from better taste, and only from better taste. Be Happy—Go Lucky. Get a pack or a carton of better-tasting Luckies today.
