Hand Shaking and Diplom-
acy in Vogue as Organi-
cations Line Up.

No telescope is required to see thai
within the last week the chronic
handshakers have increased three OF
fOurfold. Nor does it take a particu.
larly shrewd mind to guess the rea.
son for the migration of agricultural
students toward the Palms and Aca-
demic Hall every day.
To the freshman this is all new and
unusual. To the senior it is yearly
occurrence. 1t is simply that the poll
ticfans are again vying with each 9th
er. Those who have not run for office
during their University careers want
to run and those who have run and
tasted of success want to run again
Tickets are being arranged, and COM
binations have reached the stage OF
maturity. Brown votes for Smith ii
Smith votes for Browns fraternity
brother. And so it goes.
Yes! the political bee is buzzing
Fraternities and individuals are be-
coming friendly and extremely diplo-
matte towards one another.
AEtS OtuUculS Vut IOT DlOOUs
With the memory Of former defeats
still fresh in their minds the politi-
clans from the College of Arts and
Science are organizing with the. stu
dents from the schools of Journalism,
Commerce, Law and Medicine with
the hope pf defeating the combination
of agricultural and engineering stu
dents that has ruled the University
for so long.
At a meeting of the recently organ
ICED Academ Club Tuesday night.
three tickets were drawn up. On the
junior ticket Cleo Flowers, from the
College of Arts and Science, was Sc
lected to oppose the combine nomi-
nee. The other three members on
the ticket are to be selected from the
School of Journalism, the School of
Commerce and the School of Medicine.
The law students selected Harland
Carter as their candidate for the all
sophomore presidency. The School
of Medicine will have one representa-
tive and the other two nominations
will go to the College of Arts and
Science.
Combine States Are Forming.
The ali-Ireshman ticket is made up
entirely from students from the Col
lege of Arts and Science. Anthony
BufOrd is the candidate for president,
Paul Miller for vice-president, and
Constance Adamson for secretary.
While the Academ Club organizes,
the combine shakes its head and de-
clares that it will once more hold
sway. At a meeting of the Agricul-
tural Club Wednesday night Edwin
Travis was selected to run for all
Junior president, and Warren Cog
lizer for the all-sophomore presiden-
cy. The other offices this year are
allotted to the engineering students.
They will hold meeting in the near
future and selecte their candidates.
1t was at first planned to hold all
of the elections next week, but due
to the fact that Farmers Week comes
at the same time making use of the
auditorium out of the question, the
junior and sophomore elections have
been postponed.
The freshman election will be held
in the University Auditorium at AIS
O'Clock Friday afternoon, January 20.
The sophomore election will be held
at the same time and place a week
later. The junior election will be
held at the same time and place on
Monday, January 26. The fresh
man and sophomore elections must
necessarily come on Friday because
OF military drill and physical exer-
else that is held on other days of the |
