THE RIGHT TO VOTE?
UP BEFORE the State Logi:.labile in the near
future will come a pioposed amendment to the
constitution which would give that body the pass
er-to establish a system of absentee voting, a
system which would amnia thous mils of qualified
vote's in this state to cast then ballots on Elec
tion Day rrgaiilless of wheie they might be at
that time
To Penn State, the mopes:o means Mole than
the complete enfianchisement of mole than 2,000
students—appiaximately 35 pm cent of the stu
dent body. To Penn State it means also the duect
realization of a di cam mutated by two of the
finest graduates the. Institut on has evei produced
For it was less than two years ago that two
stUdents=-Frank W Ruth, Jr, '39 and Francis
H. Szymczak '3B—lntroduced a measure advo
cating absentee voting before the Intercollegi
ate Conference on Government, held annually
In Harrisburg
The measure was approved by the collegiate
group and thereupon the Penn State students ie
quested Senator Flank W Ruth of Belts Coun
ty to intioduce the proposal to the Gemini As
sembly and make it law
WHEN IT WAS km ned that constitutional
provisions boned the adoption of such a mea
sure, however, Senator Ruth ma'am( a chive
for an amendment 4o provide foe absentee voting
The resolution was passed last yeas by the Gen
eral Assembly by an overwhelming vote Oves
the week-end, the Senate Genesis] Judiciary Com
mittee gays its unsimnous approval and seposted
it out to the Pool
According to the state constitution, the i esolu-
Lion must. now be i epassed by the Assembly and
placed before the electotate for a general iefei
endum in November berme it can become port of
k th Const Indian
IP THE PROPOSAL should be accepted it
Would mean that mole than 2,000 undeigiaduates
who me 21 yeas of age at mole would have the
right to exeicise then voting pi ivireges without
being forced to cut classes and pay as much as $0
and $lO to go home Pm thei mole, it would mean
that mole than 20,000 students thioughout the
'fate—all of legal age—would he given the samn
right
Whatever the result; it Is easy to see that the
youth of Pennsylvania—the educated youth—
would become a powerfully vital force In the
movement to reshape the destiny of Its millions,
a movement to democratize a state so grounded
in political despotism and corruption that fOr
more than a half-century it resembled the one
pipty systems of European dictatorship and
Southern bigoti y

the establishment of the unequivocal light to vote
in this state, a tight %%about wh eh democracy

- .-A STEP IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION
_ WITH THE ESTABLISHMENT of the Re
ca eational Planning Beal d and the subsequent
proposal of an All-College Lodge in the nearby
mountains, student iecieation hei e has taken a
big step in the tight tined=
Planned as a focal point fa student sports,
hobby and outing clubs, the proposed Lodge would
be available to all student nigamvatmns fm cabin
pities, (Imams ind get-tageihets Every student
lecieational setivity that touldoossiblv make use
of the Lodge would be given =saki ation
Sonie will erit , cme the mope( on the busk that
'lt's not a mountain lodge thst we need—it', a
student anion building"
True, Penn State does need a student union
bulldini.l Everyone on the Reciention Planning
41 , 11,1 will whet that Tn f iet, It is ne•e on the
Boaid's hot of piojeets
But the Board also lealizes that, with financial
conditions as they are, It would be almost im
possible to t aloe the $500,000 or $600,000 neces
sary for the construction of such a building.
ONE OF THE CHIEF assets of this Lodge is
its cost
Such a stiuctuie, large enough to accomodate
125 students with both food and lodging, can be
built for less than $B,OOO
And whole ig this looney to come Flom?
The Borucl has already n small sun% earned
-through iollei skating sessions in the Armory
this winter. Conti buttons in both laboi and mon
ey,haye been offeied The Bernd 14 now working
on further financing plans
But the present senior class could go far In
"solving this problem of the Board by awarding
the, annual class gift fund to the furtherance of
rr^"eatiln at Penn State It would be a worth
while project, the financing of this Lodge. It
would benefit the entire student body. It would
be a permanent and useful memorial to the Class
_ of '39.
, ,Senlor,s, soon you will be called upon, to help
select your glass gift. When thitt tune comes, re
member the 411 -College Mountain Lodge and give
it Ytiur full consideration.—llN.
