Chief showman will be Wilbur Leasell, necking re election on the Republican ticket, a fairly good recom mendation here despite the tendencies of the rest of the country. His act lately has shown signs of going stale, which has occasioned relief in student circles. , Whether re-election will give him the impetus to go back in to the center ring,' cracking a whip into thin air is hard to determine. He will be fared by two new politicians here in Ruel llohnkern and William Bell. The former has been a billed performer in the proceedings for some time. The latter can be classed in the special feature class. The spotlight turns on him between the original nomination and the main show. • Entering the race late, his chief hope is that enough people stay:away front the polls te. elect him. That Probably is the case with Mohnkern. Playing the part of the gallery is the student body., And a's most shows go, the general tendency seems , to Le "the 'hell with the cash customers." • Playing a dual role for the College and the town is the faculty. Its obligation here is distinctly to the rash customers. It should do what it thinks will benefit stu.-- dent enrollment that bays its bread and water, directly and indirectly. With the opportunity of speaking last to be consid ered, cf course, Bell, none-the-less, seems to have rung a clearer note of amiability to the campus than have his competitors The faculty can swing the election.•, it „is a chance for it,to utilize the superiorjAtelligence is said to. be endowed. ' • Once that sentiment .bas been displayed, the students immediately will watch the actions of the elected. Should students lie exploited, brow-beaten, unfairly treated, or in any way taken advantage of, student opinion is go ing to rise in'a manner that will, be,effectivo and dis cerning enough to. remedy the cause of such treatment. It can to dine, If necessary. ONE HALF TOO MANY VARIOUS NONDESCRIPT things seem to creep into the fcotbuil picture ut Penn State week by week, year by year, to defeat the avowed purpose each fall of "having the year" that State alumni, stu- dents, and team have been waiting for Against Syracuse, it was discovered that football games are too long for convenient use here. They should end after the first half. To get away from the fundamental and painful part of such a disappointment as State experienced in the second haft against, the Orange, many probably are prone to pick out a goat for the game in the personage of Rabbit \Veer, which is distinctly unfair both to the . Rabbit and to State football as a whole. If anyone was responsible for State being ahead at the first half it was Wear. If anyone was equally un responsible for things being as they were in the last few minutes, it was Wear. The Rah gambled as he has oftentimes before when the going became tough, ; and he had-no protection. He might have been a hero: At any event lie tried, which was typical of what he was doing all afternoon Saturday and all season. If anyone is to pull State out of the doldrums and on to victory over Penn it is Wear with the aid 'of Harry. Harrison, and Sam Donato Why State came out of the rest period•between halves as the lamb to be led to the Orange lion that material ized suddenly is hard to answer. Certainly the teams reversed their respective forms rather suddenly. To come back from such a bitter disappointment is going to be difficult. To elude the apparently evertpres ent eight ball seems to be a custom here. It was done to some degree in the latter part of last year. It can be done again. The indicated move now is to pull back again. If Penn and Maryland can be defeated, an improvement over last year will be noted. If not, it will be time enough to look around and 'sur vey the situation more elosely—after all opportunities for a comeback are allowed. In the middle of the most important part of the sea son there is no time to think about things gdne by. It is time to concentrate on the future. OLL MANIA.
