At first we didn't pay too much
attention to any of it, because we
are from out of state and cannot

Although our curiousity was

Make It A Fair Election

Voting for tin's year's Homecoming
queen begins today and we arc reminded of an incident tliat dulled the
joy of Homecoming for a young lady
last year and provided an example of
individual couragcand character that,
in many ways, was more rewarding
than the honor that she lost.
We refer to the disqualification
of the young lady who was elected
Homecoming queen because pledges
of the fraternity which sponsored her
failed to observe the rules governing
the election. When told in a meeting
at the Dean of Women's Office that
there was some question of the legality of her election, she immediately
and unhesitatingly declined the
qucenship.
By her action, the girl upheld her
integrity and the integrity of the
Homecoming queen selection, but
what if she had failed to act as she

did? What if the Homecoming Committee had been forced to rule on the
matter?
The
acts of a few
puerile fraternity pledges could have
brought chaos to what should have
been an ordinary yearly election for
one of the many queenships awarded
in the course of a school year (albeit
one of the most important ones).
There is more at stake than a
trophy for the queen and a few lines
of newspaper type for lx)th the girl
and the nominating group, there
should also be the pride of the student l)ody in selecting someone to
represent the entire University at
Homcoming.
So, as this year's Homecoming
balloting begins, we urge all campus
groups supporting queen candidates
to abide by the rules of the election
and make it a fair one for everyone
concerned.

Deaths due to unsafe heaters are

because students tend to feel that
such a thing cannot happen to them,
steps must be taken to assure that
regulations against unvented gas heaters are enforced. Either the Lexington Fire Department or the Dean of
Men's Office should take the initiative
in eliminating all unsafe heaters.

Advancing The Negro Cause
A Georgia judge has just given an

invaluable boost to the Southern
Negro campaign for equal treatment.
He did so by meting out patently unfair treatment to the Rev. Martin
Luther King, leader of the Negro
"sit-in- "
movement.
Dr. King was sentenced to four
months in a work camp for driving
in Georgia with only an Alabama license. Stripped of legal technicalities,
that is the punishment that the judge
decided fits the crime.
'
This is obviously not equal treatment. How many of the thousands of
persons who moved to Georgia last
year and failed to change driver's licenses promptly were sentenced to a
year's imprisonment for the offense?
(It is because of that year's sentence,
orginally suspended, tlrat Dr. King is
now ordered to serve four months
time for breaking probation.) Other
American citizens would doubtless be
fighting angry if they felt they might
be jailed at length not for a traffic
accident but for a paper misdemeanor

'

on which they had already paid a fine.
Dr. King's movement, designed as
a thorn in the public conscience, has
often become a thorn in the side of
law enforcement officials. But if some
have reason to be upset, none have
reason to treat the basic American
principle of equality before the law
with such disregard.
A year ago Gov. Vandiver threatened that Dr. King would be placed
under constant surveillance if he
moved to Georgia. This latest move
seems more likely to assure that the
Negro leader's actions and aims and
white Americans response will be
placed under constant surveillance
elsewhere in the world. That is what
Dr. King wants.

How Will Farmers Vote?

President Nixon
majority of the farmer's votes in the
nation's Midwestern breadbasket, in
the opinion of farm editors in a dozen
important agricultural states.
The newspaper and farm magazine editors, polled by the Associated
Press, reported substantial gains by
Sen. John F. Kennedy in many areas.
But they made special note, in virtually every state, that the farmer doesn't
call the shots anymore, even in the
farm belt.
The editors found, moreover, that
the problems of farm prices, farmers
income, and crop controls, far from
being a dominant factor in the Midwest's voting, are not the decisive
issues even with the farmers themselves in many areas. In 1960, farmers
are talking about international affairs,
religion, the candidates' experience,
and the overall domestic economy.
In those cases where the farm
editors ventured opinions on how
their state's electoral votes will be
cast, as often as not it was opposite
to the farmers' presumed preferences.
The following tally of farm sentiment therefore cannot be considered
a hard forecast of how the states
named will go on Nov. 8.
.

Nixon

Republican nominee was
given the edge among farmers in six
states with 92 electoral votes Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, South Dakota, Kansas, and Ohio. In none of
those states did the editors consider
the farm vote likely to be decisive.
Kennedy
The Democratic candidate was
rated ahead among farmers in five
states with 44 electoral votes Iowa,
Missouri, Nebraska, Minnesota, and
North Dakota. Only in Nebraska did
some editors lielieve the farm vote
might have a decisive influence.
In the 12th state, Indiana, vvitli 13
electoral votes, the editors' judgment
was that the rural vote would split
"fairly evenly."
The unpopularity of Secretary of
Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson with
many fanners is a factor favoring the
Democrats as it was in 1950, the
editors reported. But neither Nixon's
new farm proposal nor Kennedy's

The

has

Some editors said they found that
many farmers consider the Nixon plan
a rehash of the Benson program. Ken-

nedy's proposals spell more controls
than a great rrmny conservative farmers want to see imposed.
The reports from two Wisconsin
h
Lewis of the
farm experts-D- on
Xorthtvcstcrn and Roy Valitch-k- a
II of the Applcton P ost Crescent
were fairly typical of the findings of
a number of the editors.
Lewis said farm sentiment was
"running along traditional Republican
lines" in his area.
The rival programs of the two
candidates made little difference, he
said, because most farmers felt there
was no help in sight for them, "at
least from the politicians." Valitchka
felt his area was leaning to Kennedy
because of the senator's own personal
appeal. And most farmers feel that
"their major goal- -a new secretary of
agriculture is certain under either
candidate," Valitchka reported.
Glenn Kreuscher, farm editor for
the Lincoln (Neb.) Journal and the
Lincoln Star, found his. state's farmers leaning to Kennedy because they
felt he was more responsive to their
plight and because they tended to believe that "farmers have fared better
under Democratic administrations
than they have under Republican administrations."
Whether this will swing Nebraska
into the Democratic column depends
largely on whether the 35 percent of
Nebraska's population which is engaged in
occupations
shares the opinions of the working
farmers, Kreuscher said. The ties between the two groups "seem to me to
be closer this year than I have seen
them before," the editor reported.
Some editors suspect that Kennedy's Catholic faith has dimmed his
appeal in rural areas. Loren Soth,
editorial page editor of the Dcs
Moines Hcfiistcr ami Tribune, held
that Iowa fanners might give Ken- -'
nedy a slight edge, but couldn't prevent the state from going Republican.
Many GOP farmers are dissatisfied,
said Soth, but are not unhap
