ASC Needs Your Support
Patrick H. Thiessen, College junior, will head up the All Student Council for the coming year as a result of last Thursday's balloting. Thiessen, a Pachacamac candidate, held a 160-vote edge over his opponent, Arnold J. England, Independent.
The election ended an arduous campaign by both parties. This was the first time in a number of years that considerable interest was aroused.
The well-oiled Pachacamac machine has held a dominate control in hill politics for many years. Its membership is largely made up of social fraternities. The advantages that these groups exert on election day are evident in the outcome. Living in an organized house makes the contact much easier, and consequently more interest is stimulated.
However, this year the Independents came near dethroning the powerful Pachs. Only a slight margin separated many of the contestants and it is probable that more Independent students would have voted had they known. The Independents did succeed in taking all senior class positions and eight seats on the Council. This may, indeed be an indication of the trend which Pacchacamac will have to buck next year if the Independent enrollment is as large as it is now. The Independents are striving for proportional representation on the council, and it will keep the fraternity group battling to hold back this new blood.
The election is over. Now is the time to pick up the pieces and put together the strongest student government that the University has ever had. Party competition should be put back in the moth balls and every student should pull together for the good of all. There will be many problems arise this year that will take the understanding and cooperation of everyone if our student government is to function properly. Student politics can be highly beneficial if parties will forget their differences after the election.
Good luck to Thiessen and his new crew! Let's back these officers up by giving them all of the support possible only then, can we have a successful A.S.C.

'Walking Man'
Dear Editor:
The "Walking Man" visited the campus Thursday night, and brought with him his whole family—nay, all his relations. A few minutes past 8 p.m. they visited the Berle lecture in Fraser theater. We were glad to have them there. However, it was rather disconcerting to have them stalk into the wooden-floored theater one at a time in their leaden boots.
Fraser is an old building, whose age is most obviously seen and/or heard in its theirter. I should think courteous people who want to attend programs held there would arrive on time—or say away altogether.

Missionaries in Ethiopia have upset the Ethiopian marriage custom in which men used to marry as often as they pleased and quit whenever they got ready. Since the missionaries have done such effective work there, maybe one or two could get some results in Hollywood.
The Chinese described the opening of their National assembly, which is supposed to give constitutional government to China, as Laun chi's pa tsao. It means; literally, "Seven kinds of mess, eight kinds of disorder." Looks like Laun chi's pa tsao is going on all over the world.
Oh, the blessings of a college education! You can't even understand "Steve Canyon" any more unless you know that a maltese cross is a fraternity pin.
Bogotans, upon hearing that General Marshall was in town, put on a pretty good military show. Their tactics weren't new but they were certainly revolutionary.
According to John L. Lewis, he didn't have a hand in the coal strike. According to Junior, he didn't get into the jam, but his face was still covered with raspberries.

Robinson Gym Gets Beauty Treatment
Robinson gymnasium is getting a beauty treatment. Workers began this week to lighten the walls of the building to a pastel green.
Faculty offices will be redecorated with gay designs and bright colors.
Floors are to be sanded and refinished so that the building will not appear as old as it really it.
The gym was completed in 1903 but before that time the basement of the old Snow hall was used for that purpose. Since its completion, it has been redecorated only three times.
