Pa. u ner•nd•ann! a fitter TUESDAY, MAY 6, 1930 Figure's Don't Lie For the past four years approximately fifty per rent of the voting public has visited the cajnpus polls. The test of the reported unprecedented 'in terest in this year's campaign will come today, to morrow, and Thursday. Shall this year's count surpass those of former years? The figures for past elections follow: Year Eligible Voters Voted Per Cent 1026 2,277 1,623 51%. 1927 2,871 1,540 54'4 , 1928 3,015 1,654 55'4. ' IP2O 3,116 1,682 54.;5 Totab 11,979 6,399 53% TBB STUDENT BODY CHALLENGED Political chiefa on the campus grasped the party reins with a firmer grip today, marking time until the polls open this afternoon for what promises to be the hottest race n the history of. class elections. Unless in terest in the candidates has waned overnight, elections officials pre hopeful of a record vote during the two days of balloting. A survey of class elections during the last four years yesterday revealed that approkiinetely fifty per cent of the eligible voters cast ballots. "Compared with other colleges, this percentage is high. Which proves nothing unless it is that the lethargy of the general vot ing public is reflected in•the apparent indifference of the students in . our colleges and universities today. Penn State does not want to lag behind. The more laudatory is to lead the way. Certainly there are more students interested in the candidates for office and the issues they represent. If not, there is a serious lack on our campus. Let the challenge be met with an un precedented vote!' Free hospital service, entailing an increase of stu dent fees from $4. to ;19. a year, will be placed before undergraduate voters at the class elections today, to morrow, and Thursday. k vote in favor of the project will be a vote for the betterment of student health on the Penn State campus. • SOCIAL SUJCJDE The promised Bigger and Better , Prom was bigger and hotter than ever. But; unhappily, it was decidedly too big. By4,ig, we mean glamorous. Bat what is true of the Pram is true of all of the class formals, with thd porimible. rixception . rif the Senidi Ball. ; And unless there'is reform, there is no telling how fat thoAdadipti-', body will: gd in the promotion - of all Gollega',dancws.: ~ The thief objection voiced agains:i' winter is that they were over-crowded. This, of course, is particularly true of the Prom, Arid, quite frankly, theye is no sense to it. If there is enjoyment in stand ing on one spot for more than five minutes (if one Is able to offer stubborn resistance to 800 other couples seeking the same spot), there is enjoyment in dancing at a Junior Prom. Likewise, if there is enjoyment in dancing continuously (without the opportunity of an intermission between numbers), then there is enjoy ment in dancing at a Junior Prom. It is a lot of fun, , possibly, but even then there is room for argument (but not for dancing). If class dances are really promoted for financial gain, our case is lost. On the other hand, if they are intended for social enjoyment, our contention is a sound one. Until three or lone years ago, the Attendance At class dances was restricted by class rules. Now, how. ever, the entire College is welcome, regardless ot'etass ranking. Class interest is still not strong eiungh, per haps, to limit attendance by a return to the old order. But an advanced ticket sale which would place a limit on the attendance, while still maintaining glass order, would be a possible solution. This would likewise place a limit on financial ex penditures. But we would be quite willing to sacrifice a famous orchestra name and a sprig or two of wira leaves for the sake of Penn State's social life. An issue of vital importance that will be placed before the student body during the class elections be ginning this afternoon is the one proposing the selection of bead cheerleader by a committee appointed by the Board of Athletic Control rather than by popular Because of the place cliques now connuand e$ out campus, election by an unbiased cortualttee is mere like to be based on merit than a campus-wide cqie. LAY The Show Window The Junior Prom and delirium of two hectic days and nights have passed at last, especially the Prom. We were given a complimentary for some reason or other; we presume that it was to avoid the worry as to which drum we were going to hide in. After watching Mal Hallett's vaudeville for an hour we were mightily glad we weren't in their drum. Jan Garbor had some real music but it seemed that noise was wanted arid Mal had it. It is wise to report that none of the punch was spiked—we tasted them all; therefore the crowd seemed a bit slower than last year's affair. Dean Warnock was there, stepping with the beat of them. We had a great time—it was worth the complimentary anyway. It is with the deepest interest that we note that the co-ed colonel idea has hit Froth in a modi fied form in selecting the Froth girl. We can now expect the Engineer lass or the Farmers' maid any day. It • is very heartening after the campus cops refused to choose a co-ed colonel as we suggested. All levity aside, we think the Froth showed unusually good taste for once and, filling up an imaginary glass with imaginary wine, we can imagine ourselves lifting it in a toast to the Froth girl,. and saying "pliOal!"
