Page Two, THE SKYSCRAPER, Nov. 1, 1956 Madly for Adlai . . . Would'Be Voter Visualizes Democratic Utopia Coming With Stevenson's Election If I were 21 and voting this year, I would cast my vote for Adlai Stevenson, the candidate of the Democrat party the party composed of voters from all regions of our land, voters of all faiths, colors, and creeds the party that has struggled for the betterment of the average citizen throughout its history and has given consistent leadership from the time of Thomas Jefferson to the present day. If elected, Mr. Stevenson has promised to raise our educational standards, to better our public housing facilities, to aid the farmer, whose national income has experienced a two-billion dollar decrease during the past three years; to establish an adequate public health pro gram, and to remedy our present conservation policy so that it can no longer be used by a few for personal aggrandizement, but will benefit all of its true owners, the people of this country. He will follow his party's 1956 platform, which pledges to repeal the Taft Hartley act, replacing it with a law similar to the Wagner act, and which advocates raising the minimum wage to 1.25 an hour. He will strive to better racial conditions in the tradition of his party, the same tradition which caused the seven of the nine Su preme Court justices, appointed by Democratic president to lend the deciding voice outlawing segregation in 1954. With his recent proposal to ban further hydrogen and atomic bomb tests, he offers his countrymen the opportunity to free them selves from fear. His foresight and wisdom were evidenced when 17 leading scientists, five at the Argonne laboratories and 12 at the Uni versity of California, endorsed his plan. To quote Mr. Stevenson Our objectives are not for the timid. They are not for those who look backward, who are satisfied with things as they are, who think that this nation can ever stand still. Adlai Stevenson was not uttering idle words. He was telling the American people that they must not be satisfied to tiptoe hesitantly down the middle of the road, that they must stride courageously on, constantly endeavoring to better themselves and the peoples of the world. She Likes Ike . . . Republican Party Supporter Acclaims Record Of Eisenhower Administration The issues in the campaign are segregation, federal control, se curity, the farm program, employment, and taxes. Dwight D. Eisen hower has a firm and logical stand on each of these. In World War II, the U.S. showed military desegregation for the first time. The man who led integration of Negroes in white units was Eisenhower. He firmly supports the Supreme Court order, made under a Republican chief justice. Everybody worries about federal control. Stevenson proposes federal aid to education, increased federal aid to farmers, federal con trol of public utilities. He claims he can do this without raising taxes. Even if the plan didn't raise taxes, it would lead to stronger capital government, which is dangerous, call it creeping socialism or what you will. President Eisenhower's record shows his stand on federal con trol versus private industry. He vetoed rigid price supports with great er federal control of agriculture; he vetoed the natural gas bill, which proposed to take the profits of natural gas from private industry and substitute federal control. About security in his Christmas message the Pope asked for a check on experiments of nuclear weapons by means of international agreement. This is Eisenhower's proposal. Under a general disarma ment plan, he favors an international agreement to restrict and control testing of nuclear weapons. Stevenson's radical plan to discontinue H-bomb tests complete ly ignores the fact that other notions can prepare powerful nuclear weap ons in secret. Testing is an indispensable part of our defense. Con trols are advisable, yes, but a wise man doesn't rip down a house be cause of a broken window. About agriculture Stevenson proposes high price controls, sub stituting artificial protection and federal control for the natural law of supply and demand. A far better plan is Eisenhower's Soil Bank, a step in surplus control and towards the elimination of future surpluses. When you see an Eisenhower for President button, you can know that the person wearing it supports a man with deep religious convic tions, a realization of the dignity and responsibility of his office, and a love of peace. They Have It . . . Freshmen Experience New-Found Class Spirit The Freshmen have elected their class officers. One look in the lounge will tell you that. Gone are the spar kling, flashing, catchy posters that were strung throughout their locker room. Missing are the circles and squares from the cashmeres and orlons. No more do you run into smiling cam paign managers, saying sweetly, Now don't forget, 'Joyce is Your Choice,' or Get on the ball vote for Mall. That's M-A-L-L. Yes, the Freshmen have elected their class officers. They have given their speeches, sung their songs, done their campaigning, and now they are through. All of the happy havoc and crazy confusion are gone. But wait Something still remains. You can't put your finger on it. It's not a poster no, it's more arresting than that. It isn't campaign buttons or girls walking around between sand wich boards. No, it's more eye-catch ing than that. You think ah you know. It's spirit The Freshmen are through cam paigning for class officers. Now they are a whole. They are an active part of college life. They have chosen their officers and they have gained something much more valuable the spirit of Mundelein. Blazers, Bulky Sweaters, Ivy Leagues, Car Caps Folly? No, Fall Fashions Jhe ku crap er Fun and foolishness mark the cur rent fashion crazes seen around the campii. Hats designed for wear while driv ing a Jaguar adorn the domes of many males. The fact that the sports-cars are mostly mythical bothers these mad-hatters little. With belted back and in a wide variety of many zany patterns, the sports car cap looks like it's here to stay at least for a while. Most slacks and many skirts noiv come equipped ivith belts in the back. We made a few discreet inquiries as to the purpose. The majority of those questioned responded with a blank look. Others, possibly on a momentary inspiration, asserted it ivas for easy hangability. Whether functional pr not, no self respecting pair of khakis would be without a belt. We had better success in finding out the function of the button on the back of a shirt collar to keep the tie in place. We have one objection to this seemingly sensible ansiver. We have yet to see anyone with a button- in-the-back shirt wear a tie with it. The Aqua Scudem, the plain beige raincoat, is probably Britain's most notable contribution to American col legiate fashions. Worn indiscrimin ately by both sexes, it can serve all year round for hardier souls. After asking many Mundeleinites where they were going skiing in THIS weather, we discovered that the siveater, a perennial favorite, has un dergone a new look. Reminiscent of the sloppy joe, the crew-neck and ski sweaters are big and bulky. The big ger and bulkier they are, the better, it seems. Last year 'twas plaid, this year 'tis stripes. Who would be without a striped something? The something may be a coat, suit, dress, skirt, blaz er, shirt, blouse, bermudas, even a pair of shoes. The ivy league suit, striped of course, seems to button right under the chin and gives most boys the ap pearance of suffering from extreme suffocation. Whatever else fashions are this year, they are decidedly not monot onous and they decidedly set off most students from the rest of the fashion world.
