* Meaningless Grades
University students have missed
quite a bit of sleep and burned a lot
of midnight oil this week and will
continue to do so until midterm exams
are completed and the grades turned
in.

Much of this extra effort on the
part of students will be to no avail,
however, if the past performances of
some professors gives any indication
of what they will do this semester.
Some instructors do not even bother
to grade midterm exams; or if they
do grade them, they do not turn in
the students' actual grades.
Last year we heard many complaints from students who received
lower midterm grades than they felt
they deserved, only to learn that
everyone in the class" got a "C." Some
professors attempt to justify their little

deception by pointing out that the
midterms really mean nothing and
that only the final grade counts.
Others hold that giving students lower grades will spur them to higher attainment.
Wc arc aware that the only value
of the midterm grade is as an indication of whether the student is passing
any courses that might le prerequisites for courses in which he is planning to prcclassify, but we still feel
that if students are going to have to
expend so much time and effort in
taking midterm grades, they are entitled to an accurate accounting of
the results.

fkrZjk

The way things now stand there

is not even any use in having midterm exams.

Getting Hid Of Queens
We have noted a refreshing change
in the campus atmosphere during the
past few days. There seems to be
more exuberance on campus as we
noted livelier campaigning for Homecoming queen than we can remember having seen in years.
The campus has been flooded with
posters and signs proclaiming the
myriad qualities of the more than 30
queen candidates and it would seem
that student enthusiasm is returning
after having fallen to its nadir following last year's Thanksgiving riot
after the Tennessee victory.
Many explanations could be offered for this phenomenon, but we

feel we have the answer. Here it is
the first week of November and we
are having the first real queen contest of the semester.
By the time Homecoming had
rolled around in the past, the campus
had already been deluged by more
queens than graced all the thrones
of 18th century Europe. In the past,
we would have already had Lances,
Keys, and Pershing Rifles queens.
This year we have had just the Sigma
Chi Derby queen and that was not a
campuswide contest.
Just as a wag observed several
years ago, there's nothing wrong with
this University that getting rid of a
few of those damn queens can't cure.

Fidel Castro obviously expects
somebody to try to do to him what
he did to Fulgencio Batista, but he
isn't getting anywhere with his effort to convince the United Nations
that the invader will be the United
States.
The picture of an American behemoth standing over poor little Cuba
with mailed fist drawn back to strike
is just a little too much for the delegates to swallow. As the Nepal delegate said of Communist tactics in
general, it's an insult to their intelligence.
A fundamental practice of the
United Nations is to give anybody a
hearing about anything But twice
now the delegates have ruled that
Cuba's accusation of an impending
U.S. invasion is inconsequential, to be
debated in its turn with other routine
of the Political Committee, with no
air of immediacy.
What Castro is trying to do is lay
the groundwork for charging, when
refugees do try to go
the
home by force as they will that the
Cuban people are being attacked by
the United States. Otherwise he might
find the loyalty of his militia rather
spotty.
In the meantime, Castro hopes to
substitute fear of invasion for grow
anti-Castr-

ing unrest at home over the
failure of his economic program.
He owns all the newspapers and
radio stations now, so that he can publish these gambits in the United Nations against a background of his own
manufacture. And his actions in New
York in September strongly suggest
he is not sensitive to the impression
he creates abroad.
There's nothing he would like better than to provoke a military incident,
and nothing the United States will be
more careful to avoid. All of Cuba is
now "off limits" to American military
personnel except the tiny enclave at
Guantanamo Bay, which Cuba leased
to the United States in perpetuity as
a part of her own defense.
The Castro administration, while
talking about some vague "legal"
means or recapturing that base, itself
admits that a military attack would
be "idiotic."
The Castro regime also is building
up trouble for itself with its bragging
about growing military strength. Already the Castro revolutionaries have
caused some shooting in several other
Latin American countries, and their
activities are growing more and more
irksome to these governments. As
their fears are enhanced, so will be
their sympathy and material support
for a counterrevolution in Cuba.

an air of quiet confidence in these
final days of the campaign, but there
is no attempt to exploit it or display
it ostentatiously.
Quite the reverse, in fact. It seems
to be Kennedy's policy, and it is followed by all his aides, to avoid grandiose claims of victory.
On Monday in Philadelphia, Kennedy said in a speech, "I look to the
future with some degree of hope."
That's about as far as he went until
Tuesday night. Under the stimulus of
a "he's going to win" introduction by
Kennedy said,
Adalai Stevenson,
"We're going to march forward to
success and victory."
Nor do they try to make much of
the huge and tremendously enthusiastic crowds Kennedy draws almost
everywhere. They decline to issue
their own crowd estimates or even
solicit them from police officials. They
let the reporters do that for themselves if they wish.
This sort of playing it cool and
close to the vest is a considered policy
of Kennedy and his strategists. Last
weekend news stories emanated from
the camp of Vice President Richard
M. Nixon to the effect that he believes he can carry most or all of six
big Northern industrial states and
will have a winning margin in electoral votes.
The stories contained a detailed
rundown of how Nixon associates
figure his chances in all the sections
at
of the country. There has
least one report that Nixon himself
was the source of these stories, but
stipulated that they should not le
attributed directly to him.
The stories got wide display. In
the interest of achieving full coverage,
the Associated Press asked Pierre Salinger, Kennedy's press secretary, if
the senator or any of his aides de
lx-e- n

sired to give their own estimates on
a state by state basis.
Salinger's reply was terse. "We
don't care to play that game," he
said.

Hut Nixon at almost every speaking stop these days takes note of the
crowd he has drawn, or mentions one
at a previous stop. He says if such a
crowd turns out for him he is sure

to carry that state.
He also 'often says he senses a
strong tide running in his favor, that
he is certain of victory on Nov. S.
Kennedy, on the other hand, never
mentions crowds in his speeches. He

across that he will hardly even let a
crov.l roar its approval as long as it
might want. He cuts it short and redelivery.
sumes his rapid-firAt each Nixon rally, an aide finds
a police official and gets a crowd estimate from him. Then he circulates
the figure and the official's name
among the newsmen covering the
e

rally.

This makes things easier for the
newsmen, but they sometimes find
that some of these crowd estimates are
greatly inflated by exuberant local
officials.

The whole question of who draws
the biggest crowd has probably been
overemphasized in this campaign already.
