revival which will begin next Sun¬

Parker And King Loom As
Candidates For
Presidency
Had we drawn a political
map for the last issue of The
Crimson, which we did not, and
were we to draw one for this issue,
which we shall not, the two would
be entirely different, which they are.
While Prexy Robert Allen is
buying ice cream cones for his
friends due to his successful admin¬
istration, the 1935 candidates are
trying to find each other and sec
just who will run for office. Henry
Allen (Boss Tweed) Parker is the
only remaining candidate out of the
batch listed in the last issue. He is
now opposed by J.
В.
(A1 Smith)
King. Arthur (Calvin Coolidge)
Weeks made his official sUtement
to The Crimson early today. "I do
not choose to run,” Mr. Weeks
stated.
The race for the vice-presidency
is in even worse shape. Lonnie
(I'll vote for you if. you'll vote for
me) Lindsey is still planning to be
listed on the ballot, but Alex Mc-
Cutcheon is definitely an also-was-
going-to-run. Mollie Anderton may
jet run, but she hasn’t said so.
The closing date for petitions is,
April 10. At this rate, it will take
longer than that for some of the
candidates to forge fifty names.
The Crimson's advice to despairing
candidates is this: don't run.
