Barnard College Students publish semi weekly bulletin for the Undergraduate Association. This issue notes publication schedule and college notices for the term.
Editorial notes that only about one sixth of Barnard students can vote on November sixth but Barnard voters all may participate in a Wednesday poll from nine to four thirty in the Conference Room. Qualifications are interest and desire, with the plea that voting takes only about thirty seconds of a day.
A Barnard College ballot omits candidates Norman Thomas and William Foster, prompting objections over bias and calls for including all candidates. The unsigned editorial argues the blank line pressures voters toward the major parties and undermines fairness and student representation.
The column surveys the Hoover Club's early literary activities and questions if past battles were won by defensive proof and exposing opponent weaknesses. It discusses Prohibition, Edison views on enforcement under Hoover, wartime food policies, and the difficulty of enforcing prohibition as acknowledged by both candidates.
The piece argues against Smith citing enforcement failures and government ownership fears. It contrasts Smith with Hoover and Republicans, praising Smith’s legislative experience and pledge-keeping and accusing the GOP of unfulfilled farm and business promises. It frames Smith as a proven, prudent reformer for November.
