By JIM SURFACE
JACK MILAM
—Pachacamac, for presdient.
The time is tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The place is the polling booths in Marvin and Frank Strong halls. The results will be the election of a president, treasurer, and two Men's Student Council representatives by the men of the 1940 freshman class.
Though there are approximately 600 freshman men, the actual vote will probably not exceed 450. Last year in heavy balloting, the total votes cast were 401. Of these Pachacamac has approximately 160 pledged in their fraternity vote while the Greek vote of the Progressive Student Government League is estimated at about 50. The dormitories hold about 65 freshmen and even if they should cast their vote in a solid bloc for P.S.G.L., the League would still have an uphill fight ahead of it.
DALE EWING
—P.S.G.L., for president.
Campaign Over
The election ends two weeks of the usual campaigning with both parties besieging the rooming houses in an endeavor to secure the all important independent vote. The interest of the campaign lies in a study of the dorm vote. Politicians will be watching to see whether the 65 dorm votes go down the line solidly or whether personal preferences give a partisan split. P.S.G.L. seems confident of a majority vote in the three dormitories, but Pachacamacs seem just as positive that their candidates will secure enough tallies to preserve these three abodes as happy hunting grounds for politicians.
The only offices which might affect the entire University are the two M.S.C. positions. In the event Pachacamac takes both of these it would gain control of the Council; however if the League should win both spots, it will strengthen its present M.S.C. majority. It is unlikely, however, that either party will carry both of these positions.
Look to Dorms
The election depends upon the vote of the dormitories and the independent men. If Pachacamac can succeed in securing a considerable portion of these votes to go with its fraternity bloc, the Rising Sun will rise. If, however, the League can repeat its performance of last year and garner sufficient support from these two elements, the P.S.G.L. will move to a firmer control of the Hill political situation.
FDR Pledges To Continue 'New Deal'
Polio Victim Ill At Home In Atchison
The condition of Stanley William Ball, college freshman, who is confined to his home in Atchison with infantile paralysis, was reported today to be "very good" by the Atchison county health officer.
CORRECTION
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, director of Watkins Memorial hospital said yesterday that there isn't and hasn't been a case of infantile paralysis in the hospital here. A former student, who now has paralysis, was not in the hospital here when stricken—he was at his home in Atchison.
The student was in Watkins Memorial hospital from Oct.14 to Oct.19, for an entirely different condition or a serious one.

Hyde Park, N.Y., Nov. 6 President Roosevelt today promised undeviating support for principles of his New Deal in the harsh years into which he fears the new world is heading.
"I think you will find me in the future just exactly the same Franklin Roosevelt as you have known for a great many years," he said in a victory speech to his Hyde Park neighbors.
That was the first public utterance of the President after the trend on Tuesday's voting had been established. It implied a promise that after his third inauguration next Jan. 20, the administration will meet the problems of a world at war on the same basis which guided the New Deal since March 4, 1933.
'Difficult Days'
"I don't need to tell you that we faece difficult days in this country," Mr. Roosevelt said.
His words, however, were informal and extempore. He spoke shortly after midnight to a crowd of his mid-Hudson valley neighbors while the story of his re-election was still incomplete.

16 Would-be Queens Are Saying Prayers
By GRAY DORSEY
Queen for a day! That's not as good as President for 12 years, but it is something to shoot at. Cocked for the shot were the bows of 16 young women last night as the Homecoming Queen committee members met to
Last night the girls had a group picture taken. The committee thought it would be a good idea to get them together before the selection was announced, since no wide angle camera lense yet invented could get them all into one picture after they had "withdrawn to consider the results."
Committee members had the girls come into the meeting to answer questions. You have to be smart to swing the electorate these days.
Well, the girl that had the strongest beau, correction, bow arm, and the best line on the committee will reign over the festivities of Saturday and even get in a lick or two, by way of warning to her queenly duties, on Friday afternoon when the old grads register, from 3 p.m.
