MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1926 DAD'S DAY Perhaps the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, but the hand that signs the check book deserves a commendation that we often forget to give. Fathers have a double interest in us; theirs was not only the means, but also the first stimulus, for our being here. It is a good custom, setting aside annually one day to pay special tribute to our Pads. Not only is this an honor to the fathers of the students, but it gives them a chance to see the University as it works, to meet other fathers, to meet student friends of their sons and daughters; and it enables them to understand many things about which it is hard to write home. Thursday, Nov. 11, has been given to fathers this year. In the morning school work will continue as usual, and in the afternoon the football game will be played between Oklahoma and Kansas Universities. At 6 o'clock a Dad's day dinner will be given at the Commons, as the culmination of the day of entertainment. Although it is small tribute, we can still pay our respects to the men who mark it possible for us to be where we are, and to make this day one of pleasure and enjoyment for them as well as ourselves. That K, U, don't lift up to expectation will be the theme of many parental letters next week—mid暑级 grades will be out. THE PROBLEM OF THE ABSENT VOTER The recent election and the campaign for students to cast absentee ballots revealed the urgent need of of state legislative reform to solve the problem of the absent voter. Approximately two hundred and fifty students out of an eligible group of about seven hundred cast their ballots, and even with this small percentage of student voters things were generally muddled. The most urgent need is for the establishment of an absent-voter's board in educational centers to conduct separate polling places for absentee voters and to instruct new voters. While the special board at the Douglas County court house at the recent election expended matters, it was after all *a muzzle shift arrangement* and many things were left undone, and other things were done contrary to the letter of the law. Those in charge were required to talk through the screens to persons who needed additional information, and many of the ballots had to be opened for checking. Both of these acts were illegal. Many of the ballots will probably be thrown out, for the new voter in many cases did not receive the necessary information. But the fault is not altogether due to the failure to get the proper information. Many times the student, thinking that he had the necessary facts, went into the booth, opened the state ballot, and found that while it preoccupied an absentee vote, the ballot actually applied only to the second congressional district. What should he do? Scratch the second and insert the number of his district? Or make a separate place? Or should he do as many did, vote for members from the second district, and ultimately ruin his ballot? When he opened the district and labell皂, he says that no provision was made for the election of a district judge. Was he to lose his vote for the judge of his home district? Was he to write it up? If so, how? There are a few questions which the new voter fared when he was in the voting booth, trying to figure how he could make his vote count. And it is evident that this confusion will repeat itself at every election as long as the ballots are printed in the present form. The only logical form for the absence ballot on the state ticket is to have the number of the congressional district omitted, left to be filled by the water. The only logical form for the local ticket is to have every possible office to be elected from any section of the state printed on the ballot. In this way the voter will be able to find every office for which he wishes to vote, and it will be no problem for him to cast his ballot. The present law pays little attention to the new voter. It pays less attention to the new voter away from home. And yet, who is more deserving of every encouragement and of recognition than the college student who is voting for the first time? Surely the state, which is investing hundreds of dollars every year in the education of each college man or woman, should be the most desirable of bringing these men and women as early as possible in the exercise of that citizenship for which they are being trained. Senator James Reed of Missouri is reported to be suffering from a case of after election trouble. Perhaps the dry atmosphere of the state manifested in the recent election did not agree with the senator. SMOKING AMONG WOMEN ALONG WOMEN Competitive athletics has been suggested by Doctor Allen, director of University athletics, as a means of committing smoking among women of American Universities. The conventions which once made women rescued, signified and extremely families are being broken down, and now, through a desire to net marry, to be as good sports as any "fellow" or to seek a new form of adventure, women have acquired the habit of smoking. Smoking for anyone is a dirty habit. Many persons, it is true, no longer believe that it is injurious to the health. Even doctors fail to arrest on the subject. But it is generally accepted that smoking, like the breaking of any other training rules, is a hindrance to the best of athlete accomplishment. That college men, playing on American varsity teams, or any group of men, for that matter, are using fewer cigarettes than their fan skaters, is a startling assumption, but one that has been made. One may well wonder if the double standard of living, over which there has been so much talk during recent years, will be reversed, with men setting the standards for civilization. If competitive athletics have played such an important part in inhibiting smoking among certain groups of men at least, then more athletes is the need of university women. Our freshman friend says he feels like he ought to yoal after he has sealed the peak of Fourteenth street. LEAN YEARS AHEAD Regardless of the interpretations placed upon the off-your election by party leaders, it is evident that the unprecedented popularity which Coidge showed two years ago has vowed considerably. A seant Republican majority was returned in the house, but few of the candidates found it expedient to run on a "Keep Cool with Coolidge" platform. They had no desire to be in the cold. In the senate the Republican ranks were disastrously reduced to a nominal majority of one. They will be able to name the committees, but a working majority is a myth. LEAN YEARS AHEAD The insurgents have gained not only in numbers but in public prestige; after the trend of the election it is likely that still more Republicans will OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. VIII Monday, November 8, 1924 No. 50 Snow Zoalogy club will hold its regular meeting Wednesday at 5:20 p.m. Snow hall. Please notify the secretary if you are unable to attend. The mystery is solved. It has been discovered that the student who habitually drives to Watson library in a truck is an economics major. But that can eventually mean only that the present party system is breaking down, or that a realignment is imminent. On Other Hills ZOOLOGY CLUB: An ice cream plant for the service of university organizations has been opened by the Stanford University at Lauderdale-Stanford University. Fresh fruits and real juices only will be used in making the ice cream.

OLIVE PIGGIN (Minneapolis) William Allen White, well known Canus journalist, is to address the students of Ohio State University sec. 7. vote independently. Many of them are rightfully disgruntled, for after consistently refusing to indorse them in their campaigns, the President supported his personal friend, Senator W. M. Butler of Massachusetts, even journeying to that state to vote for him. Butter is the man who, wearing the toga by appointment, fought the election of the Junior La Follette to the seat left vacant by his father, and was largely responsible for the ejection of Brookham in the last session. The student directory at the University of Michigan is composed of student, faculty, and organization sections, with complete information relative to each. It includes a reviewed list of current locations of the buildings and houses of social organizations. The directory calls for 75 cents. BOOK EXCHANGE: Now Butter will soon be missing from the seminal chamber, but Brookhart and La Follette will be there, and it cannot be denied that the boy himself is distressed at the result. So it is no wonder that the administration has not lost itself in jablation. The seating of Smith and Vare is sure to be contested, with possible further disaster for the party. The only practical way in which the administration can dictate congressional action is by a combination of conservative Democrats with the stalwart Republicans. This, however, is not improbable; as it occurred in regard to tax reduction and several other issues in the last session. The junior class of the University of Utah has adopted corduroy pants as it is distinctive dress. The past junior classes have always worn cords and it is only a matter of tradition that this practice be continued. Penalties will be inflicted on any who wear the garb other than juniors. The State Teachers' College at Pitttown has elected three women cheerleaders. All three of the women elected are members of the "Kampus Kats," the women's cheering organization. Plans are now complete for the tenth annual homecoming of Colorado College. Letters received from the alumni have indicated the highest attendance of graduates ever assembled at this school for an event of more than 1,000 students awakened to the fact that a homecoming is the main event of the day by the largest parade that has ever been staged by the college. Plans are under way at the present time to make a graduate school of Stanford University. If these plans go into effect two years of college work would be necessary as entrance examinations for students, Layman, president of the university, this step is only an outcome of the population of college training.
