Vetoes Plans
For Annuals
College Publications Set-Up To
Remain the Same*; 142 Vote
For Change
With a count of 142 votes for
proposal one, 180 for proposal two
and 111 for proposal three, students
definitely let it be known Tuesday
that they did want to continue the
Entre Nous as it is now. This was
in spite of arguments by those
backing Campus that the annual
was dead, of limited interest and
not a complete picture of the
school life. ,
Following several weeks of heat-
ed argument after the introduction
of the idea on the campus, argu¬
ments which included faculty mem-
bers, graduates, and friends of
the college, the idea of a bound
copy of several editions making up
an annual was put back on the
shelf Tuesday.
As a result of the election The
Crimson will dime out regularly
and the Entre Nous will remain
with Campus being edited when
the funds are available.

The Crimson And Spring Politics
. AN EDITORIAL ,
ELSEWHERE ON THIS PAGE today is an official announcement
L* of candidates who soon will swing into the 1937 Spring campaigns.
The list has been swelling from day to day so that by now it reads
like a roster of Navy applicants. . , . . ,
In this year's campaign The Crimson will be entirely impartial.
It is not this paper’s business to say whether one candidate is more
capable than another for a certain office. There are bound to be
some pretty unfit candidates— but college students should be able to
do their own discrimination intelligently unless they are blindly
influenced by selfish political factions. ... ' .
In these columns equal space will be given every candidate; each
week the liat of office seekers will be alternated. No favoritism will
be shown to candidates in news stories, in personal columns, or in
.gor the last two years students have paid more attention to
— ' | of candidates. Stupid swap-outs and campus cliques have

president’s chair may be filled by
either Jesse Hall Colley, OUn Ray,

Last minute contenders for the
secretarial duties are Ellen Ruth

thy Lockett. No mere male dare*'
enter this race.
A lone co-ed will vie with tw(
men for the treasury duties. Jo
lietta Praytor wants this Job but
ш
do Archie Pruitt and Jack Thomp¬
son.
Beginning heated campaigns for
the editor's place in The Crimson

publication, but she will be opposed
by J. C. Adams, Ed Strickland, and
William Walker.
Harold D unman has no sleepless
nights to look forward to worry¬
ing over the outcome of the race
for editor of the Entre Noun. Dun-
nam is the only one who wints this

the race for editor of the Bull Pup.
Business manager will be tither
John Tarrant or Charles Clark.
The head cheer leader's position
is the most hotly contended for,
with five entering their nomina¬
tion slips. And it is certainly true
that co-eds are entering every field
at Howard as well as other places.
Lillian Jane Smith contends that
she can be just as good
