On the ticket were the Presidential candidates, John son (D) and Goldwater (R), and the Pennsylvania candidates for the U.S. Senate, Blatt (D) and Scott (R). A personal preference was also included in the New York Senate race between Kennedy (D) and Keating (R). The results at Highacres paralleled the nation wide results. The voting went as follows: Johnson over Goldwater, Scott over Blatt, and Kennedy over Keating. The voting statistics showed that 62% of the student body had voted. Last Spring term the ICGG held a mock New Hampshire Repub lican Primary Election. On the ballot were Gov. Nelson Rocke feller, Sen. Barry Goldwater, Sen. Margaret Smith, Harold Stassen, and George Romney, plus a write in vote. Henry Cabot Lodge, a write in candidate, received 35% of the total vote. Among the other candidates on the ballot and write in candidates, Nixon received a significant percentage of votes. The closest to Lodge was Rocke feller with 28% of the total votes cast. Again, the outcome proved to be a striking correlation with the actual results. Advisors for the ICCG are Mr. Harold Aurand and Atty. Pasco Schiavo. Honor Society Extends Thanks The members of the Keystone Society wish to extend a vote of thanks to two of its officers, who are transferring to University Park for the winter term. Our Treasurer, Ed Mahalick, and our Vice - President - Secretary, Bob Lutz, have done a fine job for Parnassus, while also being active in SGA and other activities here at Highacres. At the same time, they have managed to keep up their grades in a demanding en gineering curriculum. We are cer tain that the student body as a whole is proud of these men, and we all wish them luck. Other Keystone Society mem bers, who are transferring this winter are John Gido, Andy Getz, Paul Hutta, and Bernie Smolen. SWOPE ADVISES ON AG PROBLEMS Dr. Robert E. Swope, V.M.D., Associate Professor of Veterinary Science at University Park, vis ited the Hazleton Campus re cently. A prominent member of the College of Agriculture, Dr. Swope teaches courses in animal hygiene and infectious diseases. Dr. Swope came to Highacres to maintain laison between the ag riculture students of the Hazleton Campus and her sister campus at University Park. He wanted to an swer any questions and to discuss any problems that the agriculture students may have concerning their work in their respective cur ricula. Dr. Swope wants the stu dents here in agriculture to feel that they are genuinely a part of that college. Because Dr. Swope’s specialty is veterinary science, he has placed a great amount of emphasis on this field. The 128 students who constitute Penn State’s pre-veter inary program study a number of science and social science courses in their last three years of col lege. Although they do receive some introduction to livestock management during these years, their actual practical experience with animals does not begin until they enter veterinary school. Uni versity Pai’k does have a veter inary research center, but this is reserved for graduate students. Opportunities for veterinarians, according to Dr. Swope, are un limited. In 1945, over 70% of the veterinarians in this country were in private practice; today there are only 50% in this field. The reasons for this decline are these: the expansion of the federal gov ernment, the advent of the space Campuses Asked To Participate In Model UN Project A United Nations Day will be held at -University Park on Jan uary 29, 30, and 31. Walter K a s s a w a y , special assistant to the Undergraduate Student Government President, Benjamin Novak, has asked the commonwealth newspapers to help in this project and participate in it by representing a country. Cam puses will receive preference in their choice of the country they wish to represent. Participation in this model U.N. will be voluntary. It is hoped that such action will promote com munications among the Campuses. age, and new discoveries in med ical science. Today there are many new government openings in the United States Department of Ag riculture and in military agricul ture. Veterinarians prepare an imals for space research and space travel. They must use animals to test new vaccines and serums be fore they can be tried on man. In the field of public health, veteri narians study diseases that are transmitted from animals to man. Dr. Swope stated that the gap be tween veterinary medicine and human medicine is becoming smaller and the work of the phy sician and of the veterinarian is more closely related than most people realize. For future veterinarians, Dr. Swope gives this advice: reaching your goal requires years of hard work and study. If you are not willing to work, then veterinary medicine is not for you. The job of a veterinarian is exciting and satisfying, but a great amount of personal motivation is necessary to achieve your goal. Student From Japan Studies at Highacres This term at Highacres, one of the special students is Kikuko Suda, a former resident of Japan. Kikuko, who has been in the United States for almost five months, lives in Conyngham and enjoys living in the Hazleton area. Presently, continuing her edu cation at Penn State, she attended the University of Japan. Taking English 800 now, she has already had courses in philosophy, general psychology, biology, political sci ence, art, physical education, do mestic science, the Constitution of Japan, drawing, painting, design, European educational history, pedagogy, and both educational and child psychology while in Ja pan. Kikuko does not feel that there is any great transition between the educational systems of the United States and of Japan. She accounts for this by saying that the American educational system was extensively introduced in Ja pan after World War 11.
