POLITICAL MOVEMENTS
PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, whether one
likes it of not, is , upon us again.
Keeping pace with the ever-inci easing
"movements of the Democratic Donkey and
/ -
the Republican Elephant, college and uru
versity students are gradually taking a
more and more part in party political
actiV'ities, according to the Associated Col
legiate, Press.
So far as can be deter mined at the pi es
cnt time, the winter book iankings of the
political horses seem to be Dewey as the
fayFite, with McNutt (carrying Democrat
ic colors) picked to run second Mildly one
third-of the collegians favor a third term
for Roosevelt which seems to eliminate him
as-a:starter at poet time I ) -
However, collegians feel and many
Perri State men and women are of the same
opinion—that it is a bit too early to stai t
choosing candidates now. The feeling is
that too much can happen between now and.
convention tulle to upset many a candi
date's chances.
Concerning Thomas Edmund Dewey, the
Univei city of Kansas Daily Kansas says:
"This is the day of ear-consciousness and a
2 adio-dominated public To compete with
a swing band, a politician has to be pleas
ingly vocal. Dewey may or may not write
his own speeches, but he can deliver them
in a manner to warm a ghost-writer's heart
He .threatens the Rooseveltian supremacy
as America's Number One political bedtime
story teller."
But, claims the Dartmouth Daily Dart
mouth, "the present campaign will be
sought on some specific and important
pi oblems, the most important of which is
America's policy during a European was,
andl not the least important of which is
wh,lt to do with the twelve million unem
ployed The public is well aware of these
piolitems, and so Handsome Tom Dewey
willE
,have to be presented to America as
something more than a racket-buster if he
is to:be treated with any mole seriousness
than the polite amusements with which
mosp.people greet him now.
*riling the GOP not to disregard the
social advancements made under the New
Deal; the University of Michigan Daily
says: "It is not so much our leanings to
ward. any one party that causes us to ex
pi e , is our opposition to such measures as
the Republicans aie now supporting; what
distfirbs us more is the callous destruction
of reforms which have been established and
accepted, and which we believe America
needs."
Indeed, the proverbial political pot is be
ginning to boil on the nation's campuses.
Just ivhat turn anyone will take, including
the collegians, can be predicted• only after
pending developments in national and in
teintitional affairs are completed.
In: any event, this presidential year IS an
impOrtant one. And the youth of the coun
try :should be considered as a Tnominent
faction in the coming election.
Students and faculty members of this
Coll* who are eligible to vote should be
urged to register if they have not already

(Continued from page 1) ,
much valuable infoimation for
next year's convention
"This information should be
even more useful if a larger num
ber of delegates attend, and th'us
broaden the field of questions and
answers Almost every question
was magnified by its practicral
value " I
The feeling of responsibility on
the part of all members for the
welfare of their respective colleges
was of especial interest to Dean pf
Women Charlotte E. Ray.
"Their alertness in seeking and
discovering new methods through
conference with other students al
ways brought the conviction that
every college student should have
a place in the responsibilities of
citizenship
"Then came the conclusion that
government and society will,reaeh

ing the idealism,of youth with the
business principles of middle age;'

Letter Box
To die Editoi
Penn State Collegian
I was very much interested in the letters in a recent issue con
cerning the 1940 class gift—particularly Mr Newman's favoring the
Lion Shrine I refer specifically to his letter because the' Shrine pro
ponents, with a lot of advance fanfare, seem to be staunchly convinced
, and perhaps rightly so that it's all already "in the bag "
, First-let me point out, Bill, that.
this statue idea is ok , it's swell
We need a few symbols around
this; place—gives it, tradition and
atmosphere` arid stuff,,y,cAow.,But
Isn't it' all ridiculously Premature?
The cake's got to be baked be
fore the icing is applied and Mr.
Newman proposes to apply, the
icing before the cake is baked.
What am I driving at? Simply
this: Penn State hasn't the ne
cessities, let alone the ornaments.
The College today stands de
plorably far down the ladder as far
as student aid is concerned The
Pitiful handful of scholarships are
but tear-drops in a desert of des
perate need. Superior intellects at
State, for the most part, go neglect
ed, resourcefullness, necessity and
ability remain unfed
Dean Hammond hits the bulls
eye when he says: "People are
so much more interesting than
things. To aid even one student
who would otherwise have So
drop out would be worth-while:
to provide a scholarship fund and
to apply the ,interest from such
an investment to an annual
award would make it possible
to give substantial aid So one or
more students every year for an
indefinite time."
Yes, Mr Newman's cake is de
licious, but the Class of 1940 would
like to see bread on their table
first
The Class will not be swayed by
that seductive appellation, "The
Lion Shrine "- The class wants a
gift it can point to with pride Only
scholarships can justify that pride
Sincerely,
Emanuel Roth '4O
