REJECT DAYLIGHT
SAVING PROPOSAL
List Limited - Period, Confusion
Produced by Change as
Chief Objections
WILL NOT TRY SYSTEM
DURING SUMMER SCHOOL
Group Expresses Opposition to
Additional Time Plan for
Early Fall Months
Daylight saving for the College
faded to gain approval at the meet
ing of the executne committee of the
Board of Trustees, Friday.
The fact that students could hose
only a limited period to enjoy the
benefits of the tune change before the
close of the regular session el. one
of the objections considered at the
electing, Adrian 0. Morse, executive
secretary to the President, said Con
sidering the amount of confusion in
solved, a change ens thought by the
Board to be impractical at this time,
he said.
Objections Expressed
Because there was no way to sound
out the opinions of summer school
students, the trustees did not feel
that the change should be incorporated
for the summer session. Sentiment
against daylight saving time for the
early fall months was expressed at
the meeting.
Another objection brought before
the committee was that only a slight
majority of the faculty had expressed
themselves in favor of the time
change No other action to provide
for an extra afternoon hour of rec
reation was taken at the meeting
New Budget Considered
Daylight saving was originally pro
posed at a Student Council meeting.
Petitions favoring the , change were
circulated among students and faculty
mamba, and lute' presented to Col
lege officials for consideration. '
The question of the College budget
for next year was also brought up for
discussion. Because of a possible re
duction in the Federal and State'ap
propriations to the College, various
way to economize in 1932-33 were
conmdet cd
No definite action was taken con
cerning, the budget problem, Mr. Morse
said, as the matter was brought up
merely as a means of preparedness
for next year. The appointment of
a new basketball coach seas postpon
ed, pending action by the Board of

Elections Chairman Favors
Clique Affiliation on Ballot
Riley '32 Declares Against Any Proposal for
Shortening of Voting Period
Commending the present election ,
R Riley '22, ehan man of the election•
change the reinstatement of clique off
against any proposal to shoe ten the vol
F "In view of the fact that a large
than in pievious year a," Riley said, "I
period so that the number of voters
might be diminished Furtheimose,
the remote possibility that the ballots
might be tampered with oveinight
does not warrant confining the voting
to one day"
The omission of clique affiliations
from the ballot resulted in voters ask
ing each other about them and caus
ing sonic confusion, Riley said. If
the clique system is recognized at
Penn State, there is no reason why
their candidates should not be desig
nated on the ballot, he believes Op
portumty to vote a straight clique
ticket, however, should still be boned,
"Cliques as a whole observed the
elections code and cooperated with
the committee," Riley added. "Theme
is nothing wrong with the manner in
which cliques are getting the voters:
to the polls "
A non-fraternity oiganization rn
the elections this year IS an encourag
ing movement which should gain
strength by next year, the elections
chairman said A non-fraternity
group an class elections is always ad
visable, he added
Possibility of graft in this year's
elections was practically eliminated
by the stamping of ballots u. they
were distributed to sotcrs mdnadu•
ally, thus preventing ballot box stuff
ing, Riley stated An added precau
tion which he recommended for next
year was to put the ballot boxes in
the Registrar's safe co.ernight during
the election pence]
Additional minor recommendation,
mlnch Riley made were a three or
four day interval between nomina
tion; and campaigning in oidei to
prevent late entrants, the continuance
of the 'l' average requirement fel
candidates, the t,‘ enty-five dollar
limit on campaign c•pensns, and the
holding of elections in a similar place
as this yea in order to minimize in
terference in voting
