But there was more than mere excitement--there was a certain satisfaction to know that regardless of the outcome, here, truly, was the democratic process in action. When more than 4,300 persons take time away from work and leisure moments to go to the polls, they have something they want to say. Last Saturday, they spoke out for future education in our community.

Another Halloween is only a memory -- a memory of dozens of youngsters in colorful costumes knocking for tricks or treats, dozens of trips to the door, and two left-over bags filled with an assortment of bars and suckers for which we have yet to find an immediate need. For the most part it was a pleasant evening, with only a lew reports of vandalism for which this particular night has long been known. What everybody seems to know except the perpetrator himself, is that vandalism--big or small--is a rather juvenile act which provides a means of getting a thrill out of putting something over on the law or the unsuspecting victim. Maybe it was just coincidence that at the same time this vandalism came and went, we should happen upon the rather u n c o m f o r t a b l e t h o u g h t s e x pressed by one American concerning moral decline on a more major scale than petty vandalism. In his words, "I look upon our country and much that I see disturbs me. But we are a great people. We have much to teach the world, and if America should go down soon it would be too early." Anyone who feels our country needs an awakening can learn from the histoijy of our British friends, who twice rebelled atnd demanded reform, only to go on to a new peak of power. Many folks in our own midst may say this is as good a time as any for a fresh breeze--of new honesty, new idealism and new integrity. fcYbm Tom Carlson of McHenry, a freshman at the University of Illinq^ £&d a.pledge of Sigma AlphaiftflSij^'rft^tern^ ity, comes a letter tuning bf the fraternity-sponsored crusade to collect blood to send to our men in Viet Nam. Tom tells us that the purpose is two-fold: First, to supply desperately needed blood to our soldiers there, and secondly, to show our men that college students really do care. The response to date has been tremendous. As long as a week ago, shortly after the crusade really had its start, it was given the wholehearted support and cooperation of the White House, Department of Defense, U.S. Air Force and many well known individuals. The blood drive is scheduled to be held from Nov. 13 to 18 on the UI campus. The fraternity has received many telegrams and letters endorsing their support of our boys overseas, and would welcome more. Anyone who would like to join this support may write to the fraternity headquarters, 211 E. Daniel Street, Champaign, 111. Our best wishes to an enthusiastic Tom and his fraternity members in a very noteworthy project. K. A. F.
