Member of lutcrcolleglato N'ewßpaper Association News Editor Tins Issue TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1921 OUR TEAM The recent .notable achievements of the Nlttany football team at Cambridge an'd New York call for some recognition other than the mere historical chronicle of these struggles -The student body has been lavish in its praise for the work of the eleven men who have represented Penn State in more than one struggle For the coveted laurel of the eastern football championship and their ap preciation was shown to no small degree w } hen the Blue and White moleskin wearers returned from the Harvard contest. On the athletic field, Penn State has stood for all that is sportsmanlike and clean and the formal avowal of merit is deserved in all quantity that is given to them. Several weeks before the great majority of the student body had returned to State College, the mem bers of the football squad had appeared on New Beaver with the coaching staff to'prepare for the hardest season that has, ever been demanded of a Penn State team. From that time on, they have oeen working every night until long after darkness had begun to Set in for the purpose of creating a name for this college. That intangible quality, sometimes called ‘love for their college”, has driven them to their utmost and the result is a team of which every friend of the Nlttany institution can be proud Up to 'the present time they have appeared before two monstrous crowds in games that "have been heralded as the greatest of the season and® the out standing, characteristic has been the earnestness of the men and their clean fighting ability'as seen through the eyes of the Amer- \vorld. * •* - - w The scrubs are not to be forgotten when the thanks of the students are to be*given. Many of them have been on the sidelines for four long seasons with little hope of entering the fray, yet they have never been absent from the practice field when hard work is the order of the afternoon and night. The team m a measure is the result of their efforts and the value of the team as a.winner js directly dependent on the spirit they show. So the Penn State student has ample cause to believe that, just as the varsity eleven is the best in the country, so the Nlttany scrubs are without equal PROGRESSIVE LEGISLATION Class elections and the manner of safeguarding them have al ways been a fruitful source of discussion and, probaoly -will be for years to come Some say that our present system of voting at class meetings is antiquated, that there is no guarantee of' honesty,, and ■chat anyone daring enough can obtain a fraudulent election without danger of detection Others say that the systeln is' alright, that Penn State has not out grown it and that it should not be altered. At present, when elections are held at class meetings, the secre tary mars up sheets of paper to make ballots. These are distributed ratner promiscuiously among the members of the class who, after scanning the nominations chalked on the blackboard, write down the names of their choice. These papers are then colleccted sup posedly one irom each man and are counted by the tellers who are appointed by the president of the class system may well be called an Honor System as its integrity depends absolutely upon the honesty of each member of the class in -handing m only one bal lot, upon the honesty of the tellers m returning a true count, and upon the class officers in choosing honest tellers. / This system has worked fairly-well in the past as almost every Penn State man is honest. In every large group, however, a dis honest man is occasionally found and at'class elections this rule has not been found to have exceptions. The present system of class elections has not been entirely honest on one or two occasions at least, and with the growing numbers at Penn State the chances for dishonesty in elections are eveiugreater than they were before. Surely it is time to look into the merits of some new system U has been suggested that regular printed ballots be employed, that each man give his name as he votes and that the counting of the ballots be supervised by Student Council representatives or by some other responsible agency. Other excellent ideas have been advanced and more will probably be evolved before our present system is altered. There is no need of trying to hide the fact that our-elections are antiquated and any changes in the system will in all probability be improvements. Another feature of the elections demanding attention 'is the method of choosing the members of the Student Council. As it is now the nominations are restricted by schools, but the class as a . whole votes upon the entire list. Those taking agriculture, those taking engineering, the liberal arts and in fact no matter what school a man is in he votes for the nominees of * the other schools and in many cases does not know for whom he is voting. In this way a Council is elected that is sometimes unrepresenta tive and that might not be the choice of each particular school. In place of it we would recommend that each school vote for its own: delegates, each school holding its own elections In this way the Council would more accurately represent the opinions of the indi vidual schools.
