COMMENDATION

We have, perhaps, been unfair in revealing only one side of The Dartmouth, in mentioning it only when some ludicrous mistake has made it the butt of campus joking. We have undoubtedly been stressing the technical side of the paper to the exclusion of the intellectual or functional side. In two prominent offices of every newspaper has The Dartmouth recently been commendably active, namely in disseminating information and offering itself as an exchanging place of ideas. Its most remarkable accomplishment in the former was the reporting of the national vote in the recent presidential campaign. A vacant store in the Gitsis Building (George is now wearing a painted smile) was appropriated and results of state and precinct votes were posted in the window and broadcast through amplifiers until 12:01 o'clock, when the presidency was conceded to Franklin (Hello you new potato) Roosevelt.

In relation to the performing of the second of the two functions mentioned above, we might state that the Vox Populi column has in the past few weeks become tremendously popular. The election, of course, brought forth much comment and temperatures rose (see John Piane) and teeth were ground viciously for several days. At the present time a wraithlike B.E. MacQ. has aroused the ire of most of the literate people in the College by advocating a good big war. This controversy gives promise of continuing for several weeks more at least.
