democracy. The old cliche, old enough to fight,
old enough to vote, though ov erdone, is still true.
Some contemporaries take the
iew that the
f.ghting-votinangle should hear no weight whatever, that tin- two are entirely separate actions and
should he considered as such. "An animal can
fight: voting, ideally, requires an exercise of the
human intellect." We agree wholeheartedly that
casting a ballot does require use oi the human intellect but we also believe even more (irmly that

how to use that intelhvt in question.
The average
today is a high school
graduate employed in his first
job or working for I'ncle Sam. The enrollment of this age
group in college is larger than ever before. Those
enrolled in college are actively preparing for military life through ROTC courses. Why, then,
shouldn't they he allowed to vote before going
abroad to sine for their country?

old attitude, "Let the other fellow do it, inv one
vote doesn't count much anyway."

the hand and a glib "Vote? those kids too young,

Why not put this enthusiasm to good use?

Those just out of high school liave the incentive to
go out and vote that they often don't have three

Age should not and cannot be the sole criterion
in determining the voting age. In America literacy
is important for voting, yet adult illiterates vote,
and over four times a.s large a percentage of Americans over 65 are illiterate as those from IS to 21.
The hope of the future is vested in the youth of
today. If they are to have such great responsibility
in the future, then they should have the opportunity
to start proving themselves now. The time has

campus was winning all the time and that the
others didn't have a chance.
A rule was passed that limited a participant to
two consecutive wins. In spite ot this rule, active
student participation declined. Last year 11 of the
22 fraternities on campus entered the sing. Before
the date of competition, eight of the 11 withdrew
for one reason or another. The sorority participation last year was a little better than 50 per cent.
Another point of criticism arose after the sing
last year. This was that the type of music performed by one organization was of such a high
level of difficulty and seriousness that the nature
of it exerted undue influence on the judges.
This year a rule has been passed drastically
limiting the scope of the performance selections.
The music has been placed on the level where the
majority of possible contenders said that they would
like to see it.
After the sing last year, an invitation was
to all groups that would like to enter an
Sing to meet and discuss rules and
operating conditions. The only four groups that
were represented at that meeting were the four
groups that had placed first and second in the 1953
sing.
All possible fairness and consideration has been
given in the formation of rules and operating procedures. Those that do most of the criticizing are
those who do not have enough interest to voice
their opinion when they have an opportunity to do
something alxut it.
Rules have been made that drastically limit the
conditions and give a more than fair chance to all
Sing something for
groups. Make the
the student. Get into it and sing. Participate and
make it worthwhile.

Dear Editor:
While reading the editorial page of the Kernel
this week I came across a lette r w ritten hy one Mr.
DeW'itt (). Burke condemning Ronnie Butler ft r
an article he had written concerning Sen. McCarthy.
Mr. Burke stated that the Senator had recently
named as one of the 10 mest adinirvd Americans hy the Callup Poll. I think it is important
that we reinemher how accurate the Poll was in
19 IS when it told the American people that Governor Dewe'V was going to he the'ir next President. . . .
I feel sure that Mr. Burke will get 1(H) per cent
on his loyalty test now that he has proved that he is
1(X) per cent blue and white. My opinion is that
Ronnie Butler deserved the award a leit more than
McCarthy.

Dear Editor:
I wonder if the person who wrote se) destructively about Senator McCarthy signed his name
"R.B." because he was afraid the Senator might
subpoena him.
He speaks as if the fair pink skin of our country
which McCarthy believes may break out into an
evil red rash. That pink color is the small amount
of Red which E.D.R. obtained from olel Joe him

"Joe, eild buddy, as one vet to another, just what's
the use' of all the- fancv drill those 'uvs an- doing

"Ill tell you, Sam. it teaches the- men discipline.''

"OK. take those fancy white gloves. Wearing

"Oh. I see, Jee. For instance, in combat, the

really helped them."
