ELECTION EXTRA Vol. XI No. 1 ELECTIONS WILL T 4 Sophs Working For Main Job The Sophomore presidential cam paign swings into its stretch drive in what appears to ba a "free-for all" contest. Four strong political groups continue to maintain active campaigns. Here are thumbnail sketches of the four presidential can didates. Leading a determined Independ ent party is Stan Sitoski, a neighbor ing Beaver Meadows student. Stan, a, leader in several 'college groups, is an advocate of good student adminis tration. With the aid of the student body, Sitoski intends to co-ordinate student council and activities council pro grams. He intends to campaign for the immediate expansion of studeni activities. All this is to be embraced by a 'better student government. Robert Rinkus stands out as the choice of the Engineering party. This military veteran is certain to be a favorite candidate of the Broad street students. His popularity has reached to the Walnut street build ing since he started at HUC. Bob intends to work for co-opera tion in expanding the sports program to take in, more students. He favors more minor sports to accomplish this. Rinkus solicits student support with his first concern being for his fellow students. Supported by a progressively minded Student Party, Anthony Stanziola presents himself as candi date for the Sophomore main job. He is a 'determined, believer in the free expression of opinion and favors frank, open discussion. Never having been one to take a "back seat" position on any issue, Stanziola plans to wage a full-scale campaign with the desire to give all students the maximum of representa tion. The Good Government party, seek ing only to accomplish what its name implies, selected Michael Doddo as its standard bearer. Mike, who is from the Heights, is eager to assure the students he will do everything possible to bring the year -to conclu sion with a record of good service. This well-known candidate has been interested in student problems and school activities since he en rolled at the college. His Good Gov ernment party has pledged to sup port him in the campaign to move into the presidential position. The man who has not anything to boast of but his illustrious ancestors is like a potato—the only good be longing to him is underground. —Overbury )ate . tf)tt HAZLETON UNDERG Student Parties Formed For Race Official election of HUC class of ficers has been set for Monday with Petitions of four sophomore and three freshman presidential candi dates thus far completed. With no less furor than the nation al campaign for president, the oppo sing candidates have divided the stu dent body into various battle camps. In the Freshman class issues are split between the two factions, the Independent party supporting John Wersinger, and the Nittany Frosh, led by Donald Kump. The Sopho more class is rapidly siding with one of four separate parties: the Student, Good Government, Independent, or Engineers, led by John Stanziola, Mike Doddo, Stan Sitoski, and Bob Rinkus respectively. According to the Constitution, elections are to take place approxi mately two weeks after the start of the semester. Students who desire to run for office are able to obtain peti tions in the main office. The petitions must be signed by twenty members of the candidate's class, but no one may sign more than two petitions. Government Set-up Three main organizations make up the student government: (1.)

NEXT WEEK Frosh Candidates For President In a fast-moving Freshman elec tion campaign, the battle for control appears to be between the forces of the "Independents" led by John Wersinger, and those of the "Nittany Fresh," headed by Donald Kump. Wersinger, a hard-working chem istry major, appears on the political scene as a veteran campaigner and office holder. Through the years he has maintained the position that hon est administration backed by an ever increasing desire for better co-opera tion between student and faculty is the only way to improve any educa tional set-up. In a recent statement Wersinger asked "for the complete co-operation and whole-hearted support of the Freshman class in this campaign." Don Kump, an alert young man from Berwick, looks for support from a vast circle of friends throughout the school. His genuine desire to aid in the attempts present ly underway to improve student ft.- cilities is known and appreciated by everyone associated with him. Kump has urged that "each and every Frosh join with him in making the school year one of the best." The last Freshman candidate to break into the scene has been Al Bauer representing the Frosh En gineering party. Even though this group was late in entering the field, it has already mustered a large fol lowing. Bauer is a veteran in his first se mester in college. He has been placed in the field by the Freshmen who make their headquarters at . Broad street and has expressed an intent to run a Freshman administration for the students from both buildings.
