THURSDAY, OCT. 7, 1909 Now that the fall class elections are over the student body has a great burden lifted off its general mind and it can get down to work without any serious interruption until the elections roll around again next year. While there is more or less of the unpleasant accompanying class politics at the best, still class spirit depends largely upon class politics, and school spirit largely upon class spirit. Class politics is really a good thing for the school where the elections are conducted in a fair manner and the factions do not stoop to anything that would be a disgrace to their class. The senior class election yesterday was the most successful class election ever held at the University. Every one who had a right and a wish to vote got the chance. The members of the class behind the rival tickets conducted themselves in a straight forward manner throughout. The Australian ballot system has been tried and proven, and it should be made compulsory at all class elections in the future. Class elections are held to choose the best men for the different places and the best men are more likely to be elected if all the students have a fair chance to vote for the candidates of their choice. The presidents of the different classes should make haste in appointing committees to see that all the track men in their class begin training for the fall meets between the different classes and schools. Coach Hamilton is trying to develop a winning track team here this fall and he will succeed if all the men with track ability begin to train early and strenuously for the spring meets. Has Some Likely Athletes. H. T. Steeper, '09, principal of the LaHarpe High School, who visited in the city over Sunday is enthusiastic about the athletic material which his school sends to the University in a year or two. Steeper reports that not only does the La Harpe football team have a heavy line but that the back field are all track men, the quarterback holding the Allen County record in the 100 yard dash. The LaHarpe boys defeated the Moran high school eleven last Thursday by a score of 11 to 0. Mrs. Morgan at 1320 Mass street does pressing and mending for girl students.
