'Uncle Jimmie' Needs a Long Rest
"Uncle Jiminie" Green, patron saint of the law students, has borne his latest paint job quite nobile, but it is high time that his dignity be restored to its former status.
Ambitious paint daubers seem to take advantage of the lawyer-engineer traditional feud to commit an act of vandalism which costs the department of buildings and grounds about $15 with each repetition. There is reason to believe that responsibility lies more with persons who either seek to stir up a fight, since the two schools in question have lately enjoyed an undeclared truce, or who simply find pleasure in willful disgrace of property.
The beauty of the whole Campus is marred as long as "Uuncle Jimmie" is paint-bombered. A clean-up is in order—both for the statue and for those who perpetrate such "crimes."
Things Have Changed Since Way Back Then
Dorothy Thompson and various other writers have long taken much pleasure in comparing the political and economic situations in ancient Rome, Egypt and China with those of the present. It is easy enough to draw analogies and point out parallelisms, but one essential and fundamental fact is consistently overlooked.
That fact is change. The world is forever changing, and it is impossible to create the same conditions twice. There are factors now with which the Romans did not have to contend, just as there are factors from administration to administration in any government which are peculiar to that administration.
There are so many obvious points of difference that to name them insults the reader's intelligence. Let it suffice to say that although we still deal with money, land and trade just as the Romans did, the whole ramifications of world economics and international politics displace the position of any one government in the total plan.
What Next,
The Ball and Chain?
Civilization received a sharp blow from the so-called cultural center of the old South when a Virginia judicial circuit revived the lash as a means of punishment. Judge Benjamin Haden waived the imposition of jail sentences in several cases where the defendants agreed to take a whipping instead. Not only did the judge offer the lashing, but he permitted the aggrieved person to do the whipping.
Yet two newspapers have expressed approval.
Social workers, judges and laymen in general hold that whipping is a step backward and is penalologically and sociologically indefensible, and are attempting to relegate the use of the lash to the tortures of ancient times.
To the youth: "Keep your chin up, old fellow."
The Northern Virginia Daily, published at Strasburg, says that "whipping is an excellent mode of punishment, if it is properly administered, and is far more effective than fines and jail sentences in cases of aggravated lawlessness." Another, the Danville Register, joins it in taking the view that the introduction of whipping on a larger scale would reduce criminal costs.
To the man: "Keep your chins up, old fellow."
Primary For President?
How will the re-election of "fiery Florello, the Little Flower," figure in the national campaign of 1940? The fiery one, who has controlled the destinies of Gotham for the past four years and who probably will again take over the duties of mayor of the largest metropolitan area in the country, has projected himself clearly into the national picture.
He has been mentioned as presidential material on a third party ticket. Even our own William Allen White has advanced his name as the best possible selection to head the Republican party in 1940. LaGuardia certainly would be able to inspire the hearts of many of the disheartened Republicans and also to put the party on its feet with the best possible chance of winning. LaGuardia is anything but a conservative individual and from his administration one can see that he might make an ideal candidate to head the now wavering Republicans.
Whether LaGuardia figures in the 1940 presidential campaign or not, he certainly has already taken his place in the contemporary history of our time for his progressive and liberal-looking administration of New York City.
Education
After Graduation
Harvard University is now trying an experiment . . . in what has been aptly called "hobby study," a course designed to encourage students to follow some self-conducted program of unrestricted reading and study in a subject of interest to them outside of their chosen field. Such preliminary work in college would serve as a basis for a student's continuing it throughout life as a pleasant and purposeful use of his spare time. . .
This idea directly attacks one of the major problems of modern education—the failure of college alumni to continue their education after graduation. Educators today realize that the test of a liberal education is not the mental grasp of a student at graduation but the liberality of his mind ten or twenty years afterward.

Election Tea To Be Served
All women candidates for freshman offices will be present at a tea to be sponsored by the Women's Self-Governing Association this afternoon from 2:30 to 3 o'clock in the women's lounge of the Administration building. This tea will be given for the purpose of introducing the candidates to members of the freshman class.
Freshmen whose petitions have been accepted by the election committee are: Vice-president, Betty Kimble, Jean Robert Jean, Boswell, Betty Van Deventer, and Carolyn Green; secretary, Loren Grizzell, Bernudine Hall, Dorothy Newell, and Louise Owens.
W. S. G. A. Candidates Are To Be Introduced To Freshman Voters
The two women elected will replace Harriet Stephens, c'40, and Velma Wilson, c'40, and will have the W.G.S.A. with the power to vote.
Voting will take place in the Ad ministration building tomorrow from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The method of first- second- and third- choice balloting will be used in counting the votes. The names of the freshman woman receiving the fewest votes will be thrown out, and votes will be redistributed among the remaining candidates. This elimination process is continued until one of the candidates reaches the number required to make the election. This method makes it possible to elect officers who are the choice of the majority of freshmen although not necessarily the first choice of all the voters.

DIVIS 'to Urge Proposal
Prof. W. W. Davis, the University's representative on the Big Six faculty committees, will be glad to see the proposal that the hour limit be reduced with a corresponding increase in grade requirements, adding that he believed the Big Six faculty representatives be somewhat receptive to the project now than they were when they rejected the proposals when submitted by Dean Shaad.
"Cutting the hours to 20 with a 'C' grade would not be reducing academic standards," said Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College. "In fact, the earning of 20 hours of 'C' is harder than getting 27 hours of 'D'. In fact, 20 hours might be too much." Dean Lawson added that the students would prefer the arrangement for 'C' grades, since at least that grade is necessary to make progress toward a degree.
Includes Financial Statement Doctor Allen's report included also a financial statement showing that the stadium costing $600,000 had been more than three-fourths paid for and when the final $150,000 of 5% per cent bonds are retired, probably about 1948, the university will be its owner the Physical Education corporation will turn its revenues over to the University for the recreational activities of the students.
Another matter grown out of the athletic discussion was a senate motion instructing the advisory committee to report back its findings as to the respective duties of the athletic committee and the athletic Board. Duties of the latter, it was out, are outlined by the regents.
Turney Reports Activities
Turney Reports Activities
A. H. Turney, chairman of the advisory committee, reported activities of the committee in large amount of time required. The committee was authorized to obtain necessary clerical assistance.
Professor Turney, at another time, reported that the committee on psychological examinations last year supervised 1590 such examinations, the largest number in the history of the University. He added that results of the examinations were used, both by researchers, and also for research, pre-eds.
H. G. Jugman reported the usual six all-University convocations, and 16 special department:1 or school lectures.
G. W. Straaton, chairman of the committee on non-athletic eligibility, reported unusually prompt reports from all organizations affected, and that 89 per cent of students in thearius institution were reported to be involved, however, had 23 per cent ineligibility, and three had no ineligible members.
Elect Professor Wheeler
M. E. Rice, for the conference on examinations of students seeking admission to the University by special examination was very low. The few students admitted under special dispensation of
rules, he said, had justified the exceptions.
E. C. Buehler, for the committee on forensics, said his department had the smallest "gate" of any Campus activity, yet was sought by a considerable number of students as an activity. Extremenous speaking and debating, he said, were particularly in demand. The University deferred 97 of its last year, winning 10. In addition, there were 25 squad programs before clubs, high schools and other organizations.
Prof. J.J.Wheeler was elected associate secretary of the senate.
