University students in Sweden get
together at traditional places in the
towns and put on their white caps
at 3 p.m.. April 30. They sing special
songs. and then have the spring
formals that night. The students
may wear their caps until Oct. 1.
The only other times the caps may
be worn are at special academic
functions. Graduates may wear their
caps on the day when their chil-
dren receive caps.

IN FINLAND ALL GRADUATES
and college students wear their caps
on the first of May. Everybody puts
on their caps at midnight. April 30.
In Helsinki the students try to put
a cap on a statue of a mermaid in
the middle of a fountain. They sing
and parade up and down the streets
all night long. The next day more.
formal celebrations take place. Hel-
sinki students meet and sing tradi-
tional songs on a hill in the city.

Vote—For SGA ’3 Future

Students who (omplain about the futility of the Student Cov-
emment \ssociation will be inclined to feel it isn‘t worth their
trouble to vote in today's election. But we think a second look
at tli-- situation will indicate that the number of ballots cast is
pretty important. no matter which side wins.

A large vote would mean that the students are behind SCA and
sincerely want it to function as a Student Government Association
should. It might help SPA get the governing power it needs to
get back on its feet again and it would certainly give the Assembly
more incentive for attiou.

This is by far the most important SCA election of the year.
A president. vice president. and 2t) representatives are to be
chosen. The candidates seem pretty evenly matched. and the out-
come will probably depend upon which side is best able to “get
out the vote."

The Kernel maintains its policy of strict neutrality in regard
to campus politics. But we strongly feel that a large vote in this
election is e\'tretnely important to the future of SC:\. The degree
of student interest could be the deciding factor as to whether
SCA sinks or swims.

,War News Made Easy '
By Clever Minnesotan

Unless you’ve undergone a short course in code deciphering.
you've probably been wading through most of the war news and
getting only a foggy idea of what‘s going on. But a brilliant boy
at the University of Minnesota has penetrated the curtain of cliches
and has mercifully compiled this glossary of war terms. which we
think you'll enjoy.

-If you want to impress people with your knowledge of current
events. just memorize a few of these hackneyed expressions. If
you work hard at it. you might even snag a job as Head Korean

Editor. Kernel:

As a candidate for the Presidency
of 86 A. I would like to point out to
my fellow students some of the aims
and objectives o: the Constitutional-
is't party.

The Constitutionalist party will
endeavor to:

Ill Instigate on the campus an
honor system.

v2: Stimulate interest in the elec-
tion of members to SGA.

‘3) Organize a campus chest
which would provide the funds for
the numerous collections made by
charitable organizations.

.4) Improve the present faculty
rating system. making a more com-
prehensive survey and to develop a
method of actually determining the
value of such a survey.

In closing, I would like to point
out that in the past two years a
representative from each of the two

parties on the campus has held the.

office of President of SGA. This
proves that SGA is truly representa-

tive of all students and is not dom- ‘
inated by a so—called minority group.

group.
Sincerely.
Bruce Cotton.
Constitutionalist Candidate
for SGA President.

Open letter to the Students.

As a citizen of the University
Community. you have a right to
know the issues in the forthcoming
Student Government election. And
there are issues.

The party which now and for
many years has dominated the Stu—
dent Government has always repre-
sented the interests of a very small
group consisting entirely of Greek-
lctter (pganizations. During the
reign 0 this so-called Constitu-
tionalzst Party. the Student Govern-

ment has steadily declined until it‘

has become an impotent, useless.
and unimportant body, Yet on most
great American campuses there is a

izations which are against minority
rule. We are running not to achieve
the mere honor of election which
has long been the sole objective of
our opponents. but with a sincere
sense of duty and responsibility to
our fellow students and our Uni-
versity.

Our opponents. despite their pre-
tentious platforms at election times
past and present. have shown that
they either cannot or will not pro-
vide the type of Student Govern-
ment this campus so sorely needs.
The United Students can and will
provide such a Student Government
by abolishing minority rule and put-
ting into effect our constructive
platform.

On this basis we ask your support
1 for the entire United Students ticket
in the SGA election on Friday.
May 4.

Sincerely,

Bob Smith. College of Law
United Students Candidate
for President of SGA

Exams For Seniors

Editor, the Kernel:

Since my protests to my profes-
sors have fallen on deaf ears. the
Kernel seems to be the next best,
wall to weep against. The source of
all this woe is the fact that I. a
graduating senior at last, am going
to be forced to undergo examina-
tions in three subjects in which I
have at least a B. I even have an
A in one of them.

For lo. these four long years. I
have looked forward with bated
breath to the day when I could take
off for Boonesboro while those
not fortunate enough to be a mighty
senior crammed for the calamities.

From the very beginning of the
semester. I have worked to keep B‘s
in all my courses. The extra effort

eminent dedicated to thé best in-‘

terests of the entire student body.
Every student and organization on
this campus has problems and in-
terests which require a strong and
effective Student Government. Each
student contributes financially to
the SGA through registration fees.
and is entitled to proper representa-
lloll.

To combat the existing evil. and
to build a workable and effective
SGA. the United Students Party
has been established by Independ-
ents and those Greek-letter organ-

seemed worth it because I was going
to get out of exams!il thought.
But I reckoned without the hard
hearts of three not—so-popular pro-
fessors whom I will be charitable
enough not to name. My other two
teachers, still able to look at things
from the students side Ior maybe
they .iust don‘t want to grade the
papers) are cxcusing those with a
B or above in accordance with a
University custom.

I realize it is just a custom. not
a rule. but it does seem that the
weary senior. busy with all the other
things that come around graduation
time. could Le granted this small
concession. If he has maintained a
B in the course so far. chances are
he‘ll keep it up. If the professor has
based the rest of his marks on a
sound system. he should have a pret-
ty good estimate of the student's
ability. Why should he refuse to
excuse the A or B students from the
final?

I don't know how many professors
will read this, but if any do. I hope
they'll consider the situation care-
fully. remember when they were
students. and go along with the
majority of their colleagues in ex-
cusing graduating seniors from
exams.

Hopefully.
