It no true, funtheimo;e, that the delegates with their gay Mass badges sometimes make the foolish mistake of taking themselses and their welds too seriously. Such meal:- misses of course. are a normal part of any parley, be it grant on ',wing, lengthy en turf. We daresay that even in such important meetings as those of the President's cabinet, Cal takes t.me to tell his fellow statesmen how a slippery base eluded hie net or Andy Mellon punctuates hi, !tag and uninteresting tiessurs report synth a remark or tee about the offensiveness of Charley Dawes' inserted lop e Ito that as it m.*, there is usually one 01 more sane and pi acheal suggestion which the respectne delegates of a comer:rum can <any back to the group they represent. Such teas thr case, at lesst, of the Penn State delegates who a.tended the convention of the National Student Fed eration held at Columbia, Me.. four class of the resent Christmas vacation. Out of a mace of committee meetings and discussions emeiged norm imp:quint suggestions, one of uhich fns e.nated the Penn State reptm.ntation particularly. It wm a plan for mom politics us practiced to many of the large is and most influent-al colleges of the noddle and fa, II est So much more piuctical and athantageous than our errs sub-resa system did, it seem that it was presented to Student Council at the last meeting for discussion and although it vas not unanimously fatored, is is expected that baclses of the plan will push it as a possible sub• scants for out antiquated system BneHt evplanied the plan calls tot a systematized nietnod or open politics with cliques still predominant, ss they will alums be, but stating their decimations for a candidate and for their issues in public. Mass meetings and tallies ale hold as a means of making such open declatakons and candidates enumerate and explain the points of then pletfornis, allele all students ate on tted to heel them Rim though the plan is nothing more than a colleg iate likeness, to national political campaigns it trill be something nett and practical at Penn State where irate'. any lire necessitates a division of politics The system, to daltloll to being a necessity, is a lair and practical system eitor,tig adiantages far more numerous than the present ve.l.nhand procedure. Student 'totem would hare au importunity to become acouainted with the intentions, rikalifications'and person of the candidate so that the hap hazarcluur, ignorant method of toting would be duly elim inated Students ',resold, he yetang. theinfene; for men instead of nain(is „ r. _ , When the open politics system was adopted by,col}egei 'reach non consalm is an indispensable factor m thus temple, life, the number of sates cast Ras increased b 3.

GM- Petithm shathenth let It bred no political friction. lo fn. t, greater lint ninny grew out of one featme of the sistem, that of appointing a non-partisan member of the faculty to srpolsise a wool, compalaWe to our Stucknt Iloatd %%lan tt Willed the ballots There arc more - Weis] advantages to be desired front the plan. Disadvantages ale few, if any. The non-iru teinuy cony feel timid of stony toward adopting a plan of which cliques arc a necessary arid fundamental part. Yet thine is no provision which forbids non-fra teinity cliques. In fact, the open politics system would enrtble the not-fraternity representatives to organize their power definitely and effectually; at present they are some what restricted and handicapped by lack of sufficient or garnration. Under the new system they could fulfill sup pressed &sues by electing competent men of their faction and in so doing help break fraternity omnipotence, which has always been the most dangerous and one-sided fea ture of the government of Lhts democratic institution. &nob the plan descries easeful consideration despite the protests of its opponents who condemn it as impract icable, hardly umkable at Penn State. Their beliefs are obviously founded on conjecture and estimation for the pt.:tag:l.May of the system cannot be truthfully ascer tained until it has hem expelimented for a reasonable pot oil of time. Not can the dissentess move their argu ment by example since the plan has been found sortable in most of the colleges—.some with enrollments as large as 15,000--uhich hose adopted st Penn State m expanding rapnlly. IL m becoming 711010 and more complex every year So-are its problems, AS student bee, government and politics. There Is cer- tainly no need for campus politics to lag beheld the fot ward meting institution, especially when the.e is a me gressivc plums in view. A VALUABLE ADDITION To replace Dean Gerald L. Wendt, of the School of Chemistry and Physic.. Dr Prank C Whitmore, mho is now head of the department of Cheonstry at Northwestern Tinhersity, has been appointed Doctor 'Whitmore will tube up his duties at Penn State at the cod of the second semester. The College Administration is to be congratu lated upon selecting and securing the services of this able theorist He has the reputation of being one of the best researchers in the country as mei' as being an effectne and inspn ing teacher. Doctor Whitmore, I* assmtmn of Dean Wendt him sell, is a "man a ho seems to accomplish results through mlincles." If the reputed chemist can surpass the pi ea ant Dear. in miracle-a oiling, it r. safe to prophesy that the School of Chemistry and Phi mos will rise to untold m mil mance and eftectivenesa in the net fen• nears.
