Member ot lutercullegiato Newspaper Association News Editor This Issue— —— FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1921 A HEALTHY CHANGE The suggestion that the rules governing the class elections be changed to provide an adequate safeguaid ol their honesty, has renew ed the agitation which was current alter the class elections last spring The Student Council last month introduced the subject at its regular meeting and discusssed the mattei with the view of finding out just what could be done to insure an election that would not be cumbered with burdensome restrictions and yet that would be safeguarded ag ainst the man who wishes to be dishonest. Some changes must be made, that is sure Penn State is too large for the ola haphazard method of holding the elections and the classes cannot alford to have suspicion thrown upon any of their class officers. The election of these men and of the Student Council repre sentatives is what needs particular attention The minor positions do not need so much protection, as the tendency to falsify returns is not as great with those as with the major class officers. One excellent suggestion has been made, that provides adequately for the honesty of the election and yet that is not bound up in rea tape' It is proposed to hold nominations for the offices at least two weeks before the election takes place and m that interval to have ballots printed with each nominee's name thereon. These ballots are to be in the hands oi some responsible agency such as the Student Council and are to be given out one to each member of the class as he enteis the voting place The ballots are to be marked, during the the.cl.ose ot the meeting each man it to deposit his ballot in a sealed ballot box on leaving the room. The bal lot box is then to be opened and the ballots counted by the class elec tion board in the presence of the Student Council representatives or some other responsible agency. With this system all unnecessary detail and red tape is avoided and yet it provides sufficient safeguards to insure an honest election. The danger oi a man voting two or three times is done away with and the suspicion that election officials may make fraudulent returns is avoided as far as possible. The time to make these changes is m the immediate future. The student body is giving the matter its attention now and after careful consideration ot all suggestions should put the sate and sane election rules into eifect. Penn State cannot afford to have the finger of suspicion pointed at any of her elections. ARMISTICE DAY Today the entire nation pauses ior a moment to pay tribute to those men who are now ranked among The Glorious Dead, men who eagerly gave their lives to the nation because they were willing to hght in defense ot their beliefs Surely no man ever died more nobly than the man who is being honored by today’s celebration of the third anniversary of the signing of the armistice. President Harding nas issued a proclamation regarding the day and the governor of the commonwealth has called on all citizens ol Pennsylvania to "pause in their pursuits as a mark oi respect on this solemn occasion." Fitting exercises will mark the celebration of the day here at the college. The authorities have granted the students a holiday after the third hour this morning so that they will be able to attend the memorial services which will be conducted by the local post of the American Legion. . •* Alany students will take advantage of the holiday which is being granted by the college authorities and will use that time to get an early start for the Navy game. Armistice Day, however, is being observed nationally and is not limited to any local celebration. Throughout the land, public and church bells will be tolled at inter vals between 11.45 a. m. and 12 00 noon and all devout and patriotic citizens of the nation arc asked by the President of the United States to pause at twelve o’clock noon until two minutes past the hour to indulge with uncovered heads m a period of silent thanks to .God for the valor of These Glorious Dead and to ask for His divine mercy and blessings upon the country. Every Penn State student who re mains in the college after the third hour today should, as a mark of patriotism and ior the very sake of the day itself, attend the services which the American Legion will conduct, and the hundreds who are on their way to the Navy game can well afford to pause for two minutes with uncovered heads and offer a prayer to God on this solemn oc- With its primary aim of showing the students of Penn State the beauties of nature that surround us here in the Nittany Mountains and of incidentally developing a healthier and stronger student body ever in view, the Outing Club this year is launching upon an am bitious winter schedule of activities. The club plans to erect a new cabin in the mountains nearby and to institute an educational cam paign to familiarize the students with the many hikes that can be taken in the neighborhood of State College and the points of interest on each one. The work in previous years has not met with quite as much ap preciation as was desired and the club was somewhat inactive. This year however with an energetic and capable corps of officers at the helm and with a definite campaign before it, the club bids fair to enjoy the most interesting and beneficial year in its history.
