A NEW MAN AT THE STERN
On March 4 Franklin D. Roosevelt will take the robes of these United States and endeavor to lend us out of the mire of depression. The job he will undertake is no easy one, for the whole world is suffering from economic strife.
The election yesterday had many significant angles, probably the most noticeable of which was the large number of voters going to the polls. Such unusual interest means that Mr. Roosevelt will have just told that much more difficult a task in fulfilling the expectations of all.
Whether he will succeed now is a matter of individual opinion. The cards are in his hands and it is his turn to play.
The men on the campus have really caught the women up with just the simple question, "Who are you going to vote for?" In invariably the woman gave her choice before remembering that she isn't supposed to be twenty-one.
WHO WINS?
Franklin D. Roosevelt, as the president-elect of the United States, is "on the spot" if ever a man was.
Lucky Hoover, poor Rocevelt His hair turned grey from four years of ardous labor in the White House, Herbert Hoover today knows the relief that must come to one idle of a burden too heavy for mortal man.
He stands pledged to accomplish in no more than four years what the leading economist of the nation, regardless of party affiliation, agree cannot be brought about in that time.
Rooveevelt finds a nation unloudly awaits fulfillment of promises made by his party. If normal economic conditions have been restored in 1936, he will be hailed as a saviour. If they have not, he will know what Hoover lost last night.
Hoover turns over to his successor a record of real accomplishment and a personal state as clean as when he entered the highest office in the land.
One freshman's idea of a wonderful sight would be that of smoke belching forth from each of the twenty-nine chimneys atop the Chemistry building.
PROBLEMS AND POLICIES
There should be a course in problems and policies of dating. Along about this time of the year the situation becomes very bad. The men have generally settled down to dating about three or four women, when along comes a party. The problem now arises which one shall he ask? Then, after he decides that weighty question, there is the question of what policy he shall adopt toward the women he did not ask to the party. The women suffer from the same perplexities with regard to their parties.
A course in problems and policies teaching it in turning down or getting out of dates would be a great help in saving people's feelings and solving difficult questions.
Not everybody may walk the high roads of life with kings and presidents and captains of industry, and to those who lend a willing hand to the humber tasks of life they find confronting them, all honor is due.
VAN
S. F. M. Van Meensel—he was known to the thousands of University students who have been here since 1917 as "Van, the animal man"—died yesterday. With his passing Mt. Orca lost one of its most beloved characters.
Never a cross word from this genial genius whose attributes belied his 81 years. Rather it was a pleasure to begin the school day with a cheerry "hello" from Van.
You couldn't have known the man without feeling that here was one eminently satisfied with his lot in life who did derive a supreme happiness from his association with thousands of men and women preparing themselves for their battle with life.
Win, lose or draw, Van's wholehearted support lay with the University in its every undertaking. In his seventeen years on the campus, Van became a legend, to be pointed out to freshmen and greeted as an old acquaintance by alumni. There are many students who will mount the loss of a true friend and countless more who will miss his smile and the pure joy in living that he radiated.
"I TOLD YOU SO"
Now that the election is over, it is time for the "I told you so" persons to get in their best work. It is amazing how prophetic they are and how much they know about everything.
They are of the same type as the person who always wants to be on the winning side even if his beliefs are contrary to those of the victors. They are easy to lead, but undesirable to follow.
Their type has always existed and probably always will. There have to be some who have faith in their own infallibility.
"I DIVE, I DOVE, I HAVE—?"
When a conservative and well-editied newspaper uses a colloquial word more than once in the course of a week's news, its use apparently has the sanction of the copy-desk, and is not merely an error that no one found.
The sentence appeared in a news story of an airplane crash: "The ship nosed down, twisted crazily and dove to the ground."
"Dove," the imperfect tense form of "dive," is commonly, but colloquially, used in the United States, says Webster. The dictionary defines "dove" as a relic of the Angle-Saxon forms. Funk & Wagnalls include the word as an erroneous form in a list of common slips of speech.
Likewise, Wooley & Scott, that ever-please-hhelp-in-time-of-trouble text for freshman English students, points it out as a faulty expression.
But it may be the vanguard of a new era in grammar that will see murders "hung," roads "drunk," and river banks "overflood."
The Men's Student Council of the University was presented with a resolution the other day. It was a logical, well drawn up sort of a resolution makeover for the U.S. naval palauan hallat for the freshmen. The committee accepted this resolution and agreed to give it every consideration. After considering the thing they came to the conclusion that it was impractical to place it in the room; it impractical the first place; it would entail on expenditure of all of six ($60) dollars. This is entirely too much money to spend: what with council keys to be bought, and favorite sons to be sent on convention trips, such as a midshipman would be political foolishness.
The fact that the adoption of this particular resolution might afford an opportunity for campus politics to be brought out on a higher plane is of no consequence. Freshmen, your class officers do not mean much anyway; and besides that small item of twenty-five cents that you pay at the business office every semester can be put to a better use than in supplying you

We will always think of the proud feeling that goes through your blood when you see an important figure facing future striving across the campus with a "Counsel Key." This feeling will help also in the inculcation of a real school spirit. So, freemain, when the night of the three circles around pat aside study for the中考 for the Hill and vice.

MORE YEARS TO LIVE
Statistics gained from life insurance companies are usually the last word in accuracy and reliability they have to be. Hence, we as college students may derive no small amount of superficial satisfaction from the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company's statement that we stand to live on an average of nearly two years longer than those who do not go to college.
The basis of the company's report was the investigation of the existence of 38,299 men graduated from seven colleges and 154 firms in the cluses of 1870 to 1955. During the investigation 9,540 deaths were recorded among the graduates, and it is through these unwilling participants in the criminal insurance firm derives its conclusion.
It is starring to find that among these 38,269 graduates that the 6,500 who are "honor" students in their classes are the longest-lived of all. To wear a Tau Eta or a Pi Beta key is, by the estimate of Metropolitan, to reasonably expect that you will live for two and one-half years longer than the athlete, or one and one-half years longer than the average college student. One would hardly believe that the student is judged by his metropolitan glasses as his high epee would have more years of grace on this earth than the robust athlete who made proof display of his biceps and chest expansion.
It is hard to find a satisfactory reason for this supremacy of college men in the matter of sustaining life. One reason which has been advanced is that college students in general are the most likely to be mentally before they enter upon their collegiate careers. However true this logic might be in its mental phase, it does not seem to "hold water" from the physical standpoint. It is hard to conceive that the average "honor student" is actually more likely when he enters college, and those who are admitted the height of physical fitness, the athletes, enjoy the shortest
lives. It is more reasonable to believe that a college training and education imbues a man with a greater appreciation for the necessity of protecting his body against the attacks of time and disease.
Such statistics to the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company are invaluable in the determination of insurance rates and regulations. To the fields of science and technology, it is important seeking to postpone the advance of the "Grim Reaper" they offer valuable information and assistance. But to us as individuals, with no reflection on medical effort and achievement, they mean the least of all. The laws of probabilities are interesting and useful when applied to preterm babies; but they be less effective in a high-pregnancy application is reduced to single events. Even if we disregard the fact that the enjoyable uncertainty of the order of life's events renders the statistics untrustworthy, it would still seem that a year or soacked on to the twilight hours. A more optimistic view Most men find ample time and more than that to accomplish everything they are capable of accomplishing in this world.-Purdue Exponent.
The Campus Pest
"Hi, pal!"
"Howardy, boy!"
"Lo, buddy!" How's trickie?!
Who is this fellow who seems to know everyone on the campus?
Who is he that slaps more backs and goes more places than a first-word position?
Who is this imminent figure that wears the last word in hibernation and can "boop-boop-a-dop" louder than Helen Margan?
Who is this chap that can recognize every dance hand on the radio but never knows the assignment?
Who is Joe College, the boy that the general public calls the typical college.
