Show I II I They e Are re Winning inning but bat Think What a Price rice You Are re Paying Paying Paying Pay Pay- ing for Their Victory THEN HEN the student body of a great educational institution W. W fails to show interest in in the a annual student body elec elections ion it is is S time for those interested in the welfare of that institution 1 When student interest interest ceases ami and tuition to stop look and listen w when M student lu nt activities ut fail to attract the life and vigor of ot thew the student disintegration for the institution i is lurking I g near The people of Utah are arc interested in this condition When a n student bod body election draws out less than sixth one thc of-thc enrollment and when one-half one o of the sixth one leave before attained there is is an evident the ends c of the meeting eting have been lack of interest to the reckless run of n the i board hoard Time rime 1 has added this chapter under rule or 01 ruin policy of regents of the university uni a That That is what happened at the University of Utah Only Onh of 1 1200 00 students participated in the annual nominations nomina nomma- latious la- la for stude student lt body both officers One hundred of them left the meeting before it was over Even the uninterested observer would barken to this as a ad d danger signal Something is radically wrong with the thc university or OL any o organization organization or or- of society when only twelfth one of the voting yoting power ISa is a active tive When interest is so deadened that the people care not who ho rules ruleR them they have given up hope of representative rule or they are re looking to a another country for their thelL emancipation What That does docs it mean at th the University of Utah Y Former meetings meeting'S of the student body of the Utah institution would belie b lic the suggestion that young Joung Utah is without enthusiasm What person who has seen the spirit and the enthusiasm of other Utah student bod body nominations would say that this is the custom in Utah f Who but the libeler would sa say that twelfth one-twelfth of the students of the University of Utah direct the destinies of t the tIte lie 1200 No anyone anone who knows will refute the slander that vim and vigor interest and acid enthusiasm are lacking at the state university uni There must be another reason 1 Perhaps the spirit of a progressive student bo body p has been crushed I Perhaps it has been laid so low that the student like the citi citizen citizen citi- citi zen en under a despotic power has lo lost t hope lost love lo lost all interest that makes for a proud progressive and enthusiastic 1 spirit and c caused used him to look only to other lands for enlightenment What is a university without an animated student body What is inaction if not the beginning of disintegration There can b be no decay in the student body of an institution without disintegration disintegration disintegration dis dis- integration in the institution which that student body represents What does the action of the student body both indicate 7 Does Doe it indicate that the students arc with ith the board of rege rege re- re ge s in their rule or l' l ruin in policy 1 Ilar Hardly l t But the students did not stop there They hey went even further to show Rho the regents where they stood that is the handful who participated in the nominations did They nominated minority members of the board of f regents on the students' students committees almost to the exclusion ion of the thc majority majority majority ma ma- members of or the tho board who ar are responsible for the boards board's 5 s stand and The students men from the tho board hoard of regents who d dared led to oppose the will of the majority and fight odds for a bigger bigger bigger big big- ger broader bronder university in ill Utah The men chosen by the students student from the regents do not represent what the board boud of regents has ruled to be bc They represent that struggle for something which is isn n not t that something which was crushed under tattler a majority vote in inthe inthe inthe the board of regents Could the student body speak plainer J It is another danger si Ri signal held up to the board of regents a as a sign of warning Members of the e university Hy faculty held Tip alp one one me signal the board ran past that one The rhe public held up another another an an- other the board buard continued on its mad flight The alumni hel held up upa a warning hand and the board hoar ran on Now the student bod body says Bays Danger ahead abend Will the lie board boar heed 7 When trains run past danger signals oll once once e in awhile they pass the lie point in safely safety But nut when hen the engineer persistently re refuses refuses re- re re-I re fuses to heed the danger anger signals he is js on the sure road to grief He mn may take man many chances chancel an and go on oli without accident for years But sooner or later his defiance of danger will lead lend to destruction Maybe ra be our own board of regents will will make their journey u in t safety If thc they dont don't the they will only have have only themselves to blame for forthe forthe the thc danger b bare was Avas pointed out to them It is the states state's train they the are running but they they- are arc in ill complete charge When the train of ofa r ra a railroad company compan is not run to suit the company compau there is a new driver But it is not so with this particular tra train 1 of the tho State of Utah The board of regents was put put- there to run the train for a stipulated length of time There is no one to pull them down so long as they ther desire to run the train no matter how the they run nut it it Even though they seem to be running the train into total destruction de de- there is nothing to do You Toni own OtIl the he train but they have havea a long l lease ase on it Until that lease loase expires you Jon have nothing to sa say concerning how the train tram is run Maybe they'll turn the thc train over ver to you ou intact Maybe rabe they'll return n only part Part of it Maybe it will run into destruction before they give up the throttle But the day daj of reckoning is bound to come It has started now DOW But t the state institution is the thc one to suffer not the thc board members Here is what one who was proffered a position at the university said aid in writing to a friend frien I LI have turned down the proffered position I felt that I would be pock pocketing ting my mr Self-respect Self if I took the place under the thc present bl blown the bottle in the bottle reactionary regime All this is s. s in m t the Ie face of of the assertion that men have applied applied ap ap- ap- ap plied phe for positions lons at the University of Utah For ever every position made vacant in In an any walk of life there are arc man many r applicants men wan wanting work under any and all considerations But it is doubtful doubtful doubtful doubt doubt- ful if the clamoring mob contains one man who 1110 measures up to the stand standard rd o of the men stepping down V We c can get men to come conic cometo cometo to the University of Utah but will Fill they be bc th the men with the force of character and t the e moral stability of those who are
