We are told that some men of the Junior class are heartily in favor of doing away with the so-called class officers, and for that reason are casting no ballots in the present election. We are further told that our editorial yesterday is pointed out as justifying their stand. Far from it! Paradoxical as it may seem, the Crimson favors an immediate ending of the Junior election; and urges a heavy vote. The reason for this may be stated briefly.

No matter how useless the present system may be no matter how speedily we would change it, nothing can be done until the Junior class has a President at least. In order to change the constitution there must be a smoker; in order to have a smoker there must be officers to arrange for it; in order to have officers there must be votes in the ballot boxes. At present the world is at a halt, and will continue so until the election ends.

The Sophomores have managed to complete their quota; they are ready to abolish their officers (if they want) at the next smoker. The Juniors are still at it; it is to be hoped they will be through in time to arrange for the Junior Dance. On Friday polls will be stationed at Sever Hall and the '77 Gate, and postals are being sent to non-voters in the meantime. For those men who are discontented there is but one thing to do. Elect your officers; then go to the next smoker and get your constitution changed.
