Brigham Sporting editor BUSINESS STAFF ROMOLA LATCHEM-Business manager Edward Chamberlain-Advertising Mgr. Telephone 935: Office Hours-3-5 daily. 103 Iowa Avenue. "I have never had a policy. I have simply tried to do what seemed best each day as each day comes." -Lincoln. Night Editors Ruth Rogers Agnes Kingsbury POLITICAL REFORMS Class elections are out of the way, and now is the time to consider reform measures, if needed, in class politics. In the past officers have been elected almost without the knowledge of the class, certaintly without sanction by the class as a whole. Tickets were planned, printed, and foisted on classes by groups of eight and then whose ambitions were for offices or places on important social committees. Not that class officers in the past have not been fairly representative-they really have-but their elections have not been made in the most democratic function. The old high school method of electing class officials is far superior to this initiation of state and national politics and much less expensive. The class assembled in a body and without much ado the officers were voted upon. No one could grumble because he had no part in the nomination or election. Under the University system, the majority of students do not understand that if the ticket does not represent the interests or their ideas of representative persons, they can cast a vote for some one who does. They proceed to vote for a person they would rather not see elected. Some of them vaguely wonder whence these tickets emerged they wish some one would rise and demand a voice in the preperatation of tickets. The junior class this year, through the suggestion of the dean of women, started a movement worth consideration in succeeding elections. The whole class assembled and several candidates were nominated for each office, the date for the election was set, and no member of the class could complain that he had not a voice in the entire procedure. What difference should it make to the class if the candidate is fraternity, non-fraternity, lit society. Catholic, popular with the men, engaged to be married, or all these many foolish things that perplex the molders of class tickets? If he or she is representative and can benefit the class by election these affiliations should be forgotten; they help the officer not one whit in fulfilling his duties, if, indeed, he has any. Many class officers have no well defined duties. The democratic way of electing class officers would be the drafting of a ticket, or several tickets, in the presence of the entire class. This should end all feelings of misrepresentation of the part of students. Why not raise class politics to a higher plane next year? "UNIVERSITY" "University" suggests breadth and scope to most persons. The curriculum of the University of Iowa should live up to that feeling. Among the list of electives, however, exists one glaring omission. It fairly flaunts itself by its conspicuousness. One of the stock criticisms of universities in general is their lack of religious influence. Many feel that accusation to be unjust. And yet, when one realizes that no course in Bible history, no study of the Bible as literature, is offered at the University, it becomes rather apparent that one side of the "broad education" gained here is neccesarily neglected. A knowledge of the Bible is neccesary to a liberal education. Yet, the University does not develop that side of our mental training. And here comes the chance for people to accuse that religious influence is nil. How can there be an answering argument? Not a study of religion, a study of the Bible as history is sadly needed among the long list of electives next quarter.
