We, The Women—
Though! Required
Before Nominating
With the presentation of
didates for WSGA and WRA of-
flees at the all-woman mass meet-
ing comes the privilege of nom
inating additional women from
the floor.
Accompanying this privilege is
the responsibility • of naming
women qualified to hold offices
uson which the eyes of students
and faculty members, not only
from this campus but from other
colleges, are focused.
Too often we are prone to sug
gest women without seriously
considering then' true worth as
WSGA and WRA officers and
leaders of thought among stu
dents
We. therefore, urge that Pei
State women begin thinki:
early about nominations and ex
amine prospective officers for the
attributes necessary for holding
responsible positions.
Paramount among qualifica
tions are executive*ability, schol
arship, and leadership. Essentials
also to be remembered are initi
ative, willingness to express
ideas, and high personal stand
ards.
In considering nominating a
candidate from the floor at the
mass meeting we must set aside
personal feelings-and judge the
candidate objectively for what
she can* do for the* organization
and for Penn State women-.-,.t
•Being a friend or sorority sis
ter is not sufficient reason to
place a woman on the ballot. It
N is important to abide by, the qual
ifications listed by WSGA for
their, officers.
The mass meeting provides an
opportunity for women to name
their choices for officers-—it is a
part of our student government'
and, therefore, deserves our sup
port and a careful consideration
of candidates.
