EQUITABLE ELECTIONS?
(An Editorial)
With ASSC general elections on the horizon, student senate members this week are faced with the proposed elections by-law submitted by Edward Jones last Tuesday night. The by-law, to be incorporated into the new constitution, will replace the present voting act.
Generally speaking, the proposed by-law includes most of the features of the old legislative act No. 1. However, in j numerous respects it differs radically from the present rule. Some of the suggested changes are advisable; some certainly are not.
i Probably the biggest alteration is the setting up of an i elections board of four to be chosen from the voting members ! of the senate. The commissioner of elections is to be the , chairman of the board.
While the suggestion probably is intended to facilitate procedure, it on the other hand places tremendous power in the hands of but four students. This board would control all things pertaining to the general student body election. To this group would go all complaints and protests of candidates on any aspects of the balloting; to it would go the power to judge the merits of the complaints. This board would be the sole representative of the students at the counting of the ballots. It would have the power to allow individuals the right to vote ahead of time in cases where “it is impossible”-for a student to vote at the regular elections date. To this board would go the authority of keeping the record of the numbers of ballots assigned to each polling station.
In other words, the elections board would be responsible and practically would be the supreme authority for the entire election. The senate is to receive the information gathered and submitted to the board in the end—but first it would go to the board. Under this new proposal the board would replace much of the senate’s work. This should not be allowed for although the senate may be large and unwieldy, it is the only true representative of the student body.
Jones’ proposed by-law fails to include one of the most valuable clauses of the old act. No longer would candidates be restricted in the use of campaign literature. The present constitution limits literature to post cards and advertisements in the Daily Trojan, but for some reason or another this clause has been eliminated from the new proposal. That the basketballers and the ice* hockey I restriction is necessary is obvious. It eliminates mud-sling-
team. which is tied with laac at ing to a great extent, it keeps campaign costs down, and it
allows for a more equitable election. This measure should be included in any new balloting proposal.
Following last year’s “dirty” voting, the senate temporar ily made a ruling that all ballots be counted and audited

Passacaglia in C minor ............Bach
This work, written in the latter period of Bach’s career, is an example of his virtuosity and breadth of thought. It is a theme and twenty variations, building up to a magnificent climax. Stokowski and Respighi have made transcriptions for orchestra.
Water Music Suite ................Handel
Bourree—Air, Minuet . . Hornpipe—Aria—Allegro Handel had been unfriendly with George. Elector of Hanover, so that when George was made King of London in 1714, and proclaimed a water carnival on the Thames. Handel got busy, at once, and wrote this Suite for the occasion, thereby effecting a reconciliation.
12 M. in the Foyer of Town and
Gown.
The program will honor Mrs. Bannell Sawyer, who presented a collection of rare art slides to the university. Mrs. Sawyer has collected slides of all the most famous paintings in Europe and has donated those of Italy to the university.
The speaker of the program will be Miss Ada Rainy, experienced lecturer and art critic of the Washington Post. Subject of her lecture will be “Old World Halls of Painting.” She will concentrate on Italian art.
Visitors may attend the lecture for 50 cents. A reception will be held in the Fisher Art gallery following the lecture where members and visitors will inspect the collection of paintings there.
ed in war with Japan by fall is a premise that Dr. Clayton D. Carus will discuss in his talk. ‘Another Guess About the War,” at the Stu-dent-Paculty forum in the social lounge of Student Union, tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Dr. Carus has based his convictions on the assumption that the failure of the United States to take the first step in negotiating new treaties with Japan has been detrimental to friendly relations between the two countries and also, that the United States will not agree to sign or stick to any treaty with the Japanese on more than a day-by-day basis.
WAR IS SUBJECT
Dr. Carus will also discuss the European war. He believes that the war in Europe will come to a close sometime during this year, because the British and French will be unable to hold the Germans in check economically. It is his opinion that Germany will push outward into new economic channels, make new outside contacts, and that the Allied forces will be unable to stop them.
Tomorrow's address by Dr. Carus will be the first in a series of semimonthly talks on current affairs. The program is sponsored by the Trojan YMCA. The forum is open to aH students who care to attend.
CHAIRMEN NAMED
Chairmen of the Student-Faculty forums are Franklin Jordan and Lee Clark, who will arrange for the speakers for the programs throughout the semester.
Dr. Carus’ talk is expected to last for about 15 minutes, after which the topic will be open to discussion for those attending the meeting.
“The romantic, cosmopolitan, and liberal thought of the period was cast aside for the purpose of welding a philosophy for the Nazis which was used as a weapon.” he remarked.
COOPERATION ANALYZED
“I shall analyze the various phases of the totaritarian cooperation to the state which involves disintegration, spiritually and morally, rather than a free and voluntary cooperation between nations.”
Dr. Greenwood is noted for his coverage of the League of Nations, a task which he has performed for the past 30 years, and the many interviews in which he has discussed world problems with the leaders of Europe and Great Britain.
Included in his address will be an illustration of how the actual form of the Nazi and Fascist governments came into being without any form of philosophy and late!- their attempts at rationalization in which they tested effects of their ideas upon the citizenry.
