Regular Mass Meetings.
0 the Editor Of the University Aisseurian:


For five seasons past suggestions
have been made to hold student mass
meetings at stated intervals through
out the session. These suggestions
have never been acted upon. Tn
doubtedly these meetings would be
profitable. for many things arise from
time TO time which are of vital inter-
est TO the students. No permanent
organization exists to secure the opin-
ion of the student body Our spirit
could be kept alive and complete
revival would be unnecessary at the
opening of school in September.
Mass meetings. in which all are in
terested. are to be desired in secur-
ing the manifestation of interest in
certain activities, which are at present
unnoticed but are worthy of our
strongest support. Debating as a
student enterprise is upon us. and the
Debating Board finds itself in bad
condition financially on account of the
lack of attendance at the interstate
debates last winter. Could not these
mass meetings be the place for an
appeal to support the cause? Basket
ball games are now being scheduled
If we are to have winner we need
the spirit Baseball and track will
in season. claim our attention. Fac
ulty men will probably have matters
of interest TO present to the whole
student body. and student organiza-
tions may. desire 10 place questions
before us
If any of the above suggestions
should fall short of making complete
program, which need not be longer
than thirty minutes, we have our ca,
det band, an orchestra, quartet, a
glee club and many soloists and read.
ers of ability. who would be glad to
help make the meetings interesting.
1t would seem to be a feasible plan
to nave these at an hour when the
greatest possible number could at
tend without inconvenience. Why not
the first Tuesday of each month? We
could ask the president to give us the
regular assembly hour.
As for the organization: Elect a
permanent chairman of assembly
mass meetings and a secretary Re.
tain the present athletic mass meeting
officers for any special meetings for
athletic events which may be held
These columns would be open for
discussions of measures of interest to
the student body and we could think
about them before the meetings. If
this suggestion meets with approval
in general, if not in detail, why not
ask the President to give us next Tues
day for the time to perfect a perma-
nent organization? DON McVAY.

safe to estimate that the entire state,

been elected by majoYities nearly as
large as was the case two years ago.
Governor Vessey will have at least
1000 majority.

Cook estimated that Vessey had car
ried the state by about IL, 900 plural
ity and that Congressman Martin and
Burke had run ahead of governor. The
loss of 5000 or more from the Vessey
majority of two years ago Is largely
in the eastern counties which sup
ported Egan in the primary, and Is
also partially accounted for by the
lighter vote cast.
The entire republican state ticket
is undoubtedly elected by majorities
close to that OF governor.
