STUDENTS HOLDT RIENNIAL ELECTION BATTLE.
Glasgow, Oct 24-Before: an ad- miring and-chotring gallery at girl students, several thousand mala undergraduates of Glasgow Uni- varsity today fought the triennial hatila over the election of the Lord Rector of the University.
A great deal of harsa play al- ways accompanies these elections, and little regard in paid by parti-
sans to the methods used as long as they can outmanœuvre the op position." Unfortunately, however, the election today was marred by -several fairly serious accidents.
Dressed in dungarees and rugger kit, the combatants struggled for two hours for possesich of the poll- ing booth entrance, while the air was thick with soot, ochre and

A series of brutal murders, in- face of which the Government re mained entirely inactive, has shak en their authority. A secret service agent had his head blown off with a bomb last February" in Dublin; a police superintendent was riddled with bullets outside his own home in Tipperary in March; a State withem was kidnapped and mur- dered in cold blood in Tipperary in July.
Nobody has been brought to jun- tice for these crimes, por has any action been taken to suppress the organisations which have openly boasted of them. The terrorists weekly organ, which gloated over them, circulates with impunity?
