Jerome Weinmein Tuesday, May 19, 1936 POLITICAL HONORARY The proposal to accord recognition to an honorary society of campus politicians which will come before the Student Board shortly will be a particularly difficult one to settle because of the confusion of issues which seems likely to result. The whole question of honorar ies and campus politics will probably be threshed over and the same old arguments will be trotted out in an effect to determine the valne, if any, of imth of these institutions. The principal complaint of those sponsoring the proposed society seems to be that when, as under the present set-up, regulations for political activity, elec tion codes, and similar rules arc drawn up by an out side organizatimi which is not directly concerned with politics the izalt is often unsatisfactory. They feel that an autonomous group, made up of those individuals with a direct interest in politics, Would be able to ap preciate the immediate problems confronting it and be able to work out a solution to them. They further feel that while activity in many fields—athletics, dramatics; publications, and others— have honorary societies, that those in campuS politics receive no direct recognition for their work Other than these two points there seems little more to he said in favor of the proposal. Such phrases as "to foster cooperative relationships," and "to en courage and proniete high standards in . . . political affairs" sound nice—as they are meant to—hut no one expects them to mean very mach.. Ever, these two points are:open.to a great deal of argument. While the - se ;other . fortri'of extra-curricular activity make'defiaite.eontriputions to the student body, the general opinicin:seeres'tO,be that for the Most part the student body 'noir'. makes •the centributiOns to the campus politicians... Whether,. in addition to paying class Presidents air'-'Dance 'chairmen fifty dollar. 4 for holding a class dance, the students want to accord them recognition in a non-financial Manner is at least de batable. The suggestion to have this group made a hat so ciety probably will not be taken very seriously. The five that we now have often find it difficult to justify their existence and since most of the politicians even tually get into one or more of these, another such or ganization would seen to be of little value. Thus the only logical justification for a group of this sort would be for the drawing-up of election rules and codes. This, howeveri scents like going to a great deal of trouble to accomplish very little. If the camp us politicians wish to get together and subMit to the elections committee a list of recommendations there is nothing to prevent them 11 . 0111 doing so. Everiif their organization were accorded official recognition, this, committee would have final authority in such matters nnii.ifiere Would be little use in having two organiza tions to perform the same work. Possibly_ there is more, to be, said in: fayor: of the proposal. only way to see how it would work would be to give it a trial. If some scheme could be Worked out whereby an organization of this sort could function for a trial period of a year without being officially rec ognized by the College one way or another, a wiser de cision conic] be made than by settling the issue now. PETER LEKTRICH Few undergraduates have been of as much serv ice to Penn State as Peter Lektrich '36. During the past yeai• he has performed 0 feat that for many years has been considered an impossilbe job—that of bring ing about a reconciliation of the student body of this college with the townspeople. As student representative to the borough council he•has willingly given up his time during the past year in order that the students' side of the many problems which come before the borough administrators might be presented. And, taking the office When both the borough and the students were fighting upon every oc casion, he has brought about a friendliness between these two groups that has never before existed. His winning personality, his hard work, his de sire to treat everybody fairly, and his ability to see both sides of . rthe local problem have earned him the plaudits and respect of the College and town authori ties. And there are fe* students who have been as pop ular as "Pete" Lektrich. Few gym learn captains are ever remembered here. And it is extremely doubtful if "Pete" Lektrich will ev er be remembered for being captain Of the gym team. But he will long be remembered by the College, the town authorities, and the townspeople end students as the man who ended the age-old "town and gown" fight, replacing fear and bitterness with confidence and trust. —H.

HOOVER 17 Secretary REGINA J. RYAN '37 Woolen's News Editor OLD MANIA Only last week it became apparent why the cru sade which was initiated by th'e Careptigeer last fall, to stamp out sex on the campus failed. In spite of the nobility of the aim which prompted the sex-must go Campaign, .in spite of the great benefit which would have resulted to the school had that insidious destroyer of academic calm been hounded from the scene. the administration failed to cooperate with the CaMpuseer. In fact, pro-sax propaganda was hastily Prepared to combat Campy and distributed in one of the semi-official organs of the College. Witness the following: "sex as a subject for discussion has a varied past.- The ancients were frank . ; the medi aeval attitude was little changed, and modern times have seen its disenssion either severely frowned upon, limited to flowers and bees . . . Regardless of the vagaries of human attitude, however, sex is no new thought to nature, but is an early development and almost universal characteristic of living things."—The Science Leaflet. It looks as though cooperation with the lulmia istratien is next to impossible. Question We note that ten senior women were recently elected to Mortar Board. Does this mean that all ten .ect plastered? Point Counter Point The other night a lad by the name of Gil Bur leigh dials our sanctum and states that he has the story of. the year. It turns out that he really means last year—at the annual Froth drunce. Bucky Schott, T N Ecr, being for some un-understandable reason dissatisfied with kcal gals, gets_ an import—in fact several, far. the Frol h, dance— froth LewistoWn. Mir ing the course of the evening, the girls got switched about a bit and the upshot of it all is that Burleigh swears that while he and his girl occupied one cif the (levies at the Sigma Pi hou s e after the shindig; Franhie Billgartner occupied t'other with one of the Schott imports. According to Buileigh, Frankie suddenly inher ited $25,000, pleaded with the wench to marry him, and did everything short of mayhem—only 'to be summarily deposited on the floor in in) uncertain terms by the comely floosie. Since it is a pcdicy of this departnient to print only tbe . trtith, we ferreted Frankie out front under the. Froth art desk and asked a few pointed ques .tions..According to him its all a nasty prevarication. It seems that really it was turleigh Who Was af tempting to list the Lewistown lassie among his more intimate acquaintances, and so. Frankie put on the act in order to maintain the purity of the Sigpi escutchon. He says his little orations were delivered to his really one-and-only with the .idea .of disgust ing the import with college boys' "lines" so that any thing Burleigh said Would be so much anti-climax.
