AUSTRALIAN BALLOT FOR FRESHMEN
Within a few short weeks the freshmen will elect class officers for the ensuing year, and the members of the class are wondering if they will be allowed to go to the polls and vote secretly or if they will be forced to abide by that worn-out custom, that should have been disbanded before it was started, of electing by convention.
Every year this is a sore spot on the freshman schedule. Every year the student governing associations promise a change, and every year this change fails to come about. An Australian ballot system has been proposed from time to time. It is better than any other system found thus far, and should by all means be used. This would necessitate a small expense for the erection of booths, ballots and incidental items, but it would reward the members of the class with a fair and honest election.
Names of political party nominees and independent candidates would appear on the ballot, and as each voter received his ballot he would not only be allowed, but required to go into a booth and mark his ballot in private. No one would know how he voted. Upperclassmen could not stand around and intimidate the freshmen to make them vote the way they were told. The voter and only the voter would need know how he voted.
As a result, the victorious candidates would be the choice of the entire class and not of just a few politicians; and the entire freshman class would benefit as a whole.
ARE WE BECOMING SISSIES?
With the announcement of the results of the survey on amusements taken by the Y.M.C.A. at registration come many surprises at the unexpected pastime preferences of college men and women. Evidently our future intelligence will be well versed in the art of ballroom dancing, since over 60 per cent of both men and women indicated that this was their preferred social activity.
Although the cards show that for the most part the students answered the survey seriously, there were several cases which showed that those who marked these cards did it only as a joke. One young man of exceptional intelligence, according to the grades he has made for the past three years, marked tea as his favorite pastime. It is probable that he has never attended a tea in his life and would feel out of place at such an affair.
On the whole, the survey indicated that the less strenuous sports or pastimes are preferred by the modern university student. Most of these activities have very little if any connection with the broadening of the student from an educational standpoint. This, however, is not surprising, since the majority of people like to forget their work or lessons while enjoying their leisure time.
COLLEGES WITHOUT CAMPUSES
College humor magazines take frequent jabs at the correspondence schools, but an institution which can recruit 750,000 students annually is not to be ridiculed.
Stuart Chase, in the Fortune magazine, tells something of these "mail order" schools that are the subject of many a jest by regular university students. The largest of them boasts an enrollment of 200,000 students and has a gross income of $7,000,000 a year. Two hundred and fifty professors and instructors operating in 25 different departments have approximately 200 students each.
Although correspondence schools perform a worthy service in bringing education to isolated corners of the world, there are several drawbacks which greatly handicap the efficiency of such training. The lessons are rigorously standardized, and it devolves on the student to carry on without any prodding from a helpful prof. In fact, about 22 per cent of newly enrolled students never send in a single lesson for correction, and only about six or seven out of every 100 complete the course and receive a diploma.
On the other hand the student who has the determination and perseverance can graduate in mechanical engineering in five years' time from one of the better correspondence schools. At an expenditure of $300 and 10 hours a week of his time, he can win a degree that would cost him approximately $6,000 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Of course a degree from M. I. T. would win him a better job, but the great saving is something to consider.
Even as the accredited colleges, the correspondence schools can vaunt their famous alumni. Stuart Chase names Walter P. Chrysler, Fred Dusenberg, J. C. Vincent, and Eddie Rickenbaker as all having been students of one of the larger "mail order" schools.
DON'T THEY DESERVE CREDIT?
Rumors are out that the band at the University is dwindling; that its members are quitting because no credit is given for playing. This may be true and it may not—as yet no official statement has been made.
Heretofore the members of the band have been admitted free to all athletic contests and were given one trip with the football team each year. This year, with the introduction of the student activity book, these attractions have ceased to be free; the band members must pay their way into the game and play after they are there, while their fellow students sit in the stadium and do anything they like. With this set-up the only reason for playing in the band is for experience and practice and with the privilege of perhaps sitting on the 50-yard line during a football game.
Last year the Men's Student Council passed a bill that would give band members credit, but since the passage of the bill nothing has been heard of it. The glee clubs and members of the orchestra receive credit for their work; why, if band members are to be forced to buy the activity ticket, should they not receive the same credit?

In a class in Business Law I the professor was trying to explain the difference between assault and battery. Raising his book above the head of a student on the front row, he asked,
PLAIN TALES from the HILL
Many new dance steps could be created from watching the rookie drill on Wednesday night in front of Fowler Shops. All the new twists are exhibited by those boys new at the game. When it's squad right, it's squad left to them. When it's right face, it's left face, when it's squad right about, it's to the rear march to most of them.
Rhythmic instruction, a new method of teaching which is guaranteed to hold the attention of classes, was recently invented by Dr. Helen O. Mahin. Several days ago she used most of "Lazy Bones" in describing the Editorial I class to itself.
They walk as if they were following a walking plow, and their hands cupped in the shape of the handles. If you correct them they say "huh?!" If you praise them they say "Oak." The first thing they ask is, what time it is; and the last thing they ask is, how much longer have we to go?
The Gamma Phi Beta pledges all got up at 5 a.m. Tuesday for study hall, and at 6 on Wednesday for "setting-up exercises." What could have inspired them to such industry so early in the year? You don't suppose their walk-out Monday night could have had anything to do with it, do you?
A sorority pledge who went to a great deal of trouble to slide down a post to keep her late date the other night was decidedly annoyed to find that the young man was too tired to go to Kansas City, and had changed his plans to include a short ride and a cup of coffee.

"What would it be if I hit you on the head with this book without saying a word to you beforehand?"
"It wouldn't be very nice!" was
a whispered answer from the back row.
On answering the telephone at Carl's clothing store last Friday a clerk heard a man's excited voice: "Say, which ribbon goes on top, the red or the blue?" The human intended having all the details correct before venturing on the campus.
