Graduate Counselor Tuesday, October 21. 1941 IFrosh Politicians Should Take Heed The campus political soapbox has been pulled out of party closets again and freshman politi cians have begun to polish their long-range guns for concerted action on the freshman class. How eve'r, before Campus and Independent cliques begin heated controversies, a few "don'ts" may them. A wrong conclusion concernini; the purpose of Tenn State politics, a misconception of the politi cal-power •and graft of campus leaders, an at i;-mpt to follow the "big-league" tactics of state and national politicians will become pitfalls for aspiring freshmen. The present Penn State sturint government :3.vstem was established by the authorization of President Ralph D. Hetzel to create a healthy lik ing for politics—a minor training ground for fu ture politicians. It was not meant to create in itself a breeding place of deceit and corruption. Some campus politicians hav;.: that attitude. Solite practice it. Some believe it. But in the face of this. Penn State student government' has established a reputation as one of the most com petent and efficient student groups in college and university student self-goVernment. To those freshmen who wish to "make out" c,s 'campus politicians, who wish to learn the ropes of political doings and still improve the student government system of Penn State rather ban tear it down. here are a few simple sug- LZestions. • Attempt to play square. I\lan . e no political promises wh eh you know you cL.7l . t keep. With :Perin State men, the knowledge that they were :itabbed-in-the-back" by poll 'cal henchmen makes the front pa -2:e of the . "cinoevine scandal : nee ." Try to be sincere. Don't double-cross men for petty political 'reasons, because the political 'whisperings will follow you throughout your col legiate career and dampen any real aspirations which s•9llmay have. A small, insignificant mis tdke will bla - zs,-kball you for future political jobs.' Don't take your , Gpsition too seriously. Re member your politi attempts consist Of only tl - ininOf role in your collegiate Life. To t•ViOremphasi.e. its value will tend to overbalance :I•cut' political outlook and cause you to diStrust and dislike your contemporaries On the other hand, an active part in politics Will help you to acquire a better understanding c.f what politics means to Penn 2tate, and its adj. ?antages to the College. Through this under iltanding, you will know how student government ivorks and why it is so effective Above all, think of politics as only an intangible L: ward, not too much of what yOtt are getting or Icill get vut i:!f your political position. The mem ',ry that you served the College will stay with ou a lot longer than the number of dollars you received as chairman of a class dance or as presi dent of the senior class. As President Ralph D. Hetzel said, "Student government here at Penn State is a democratic affair because students know that responsibility for the conduct of student government is placed th:air hand. 4." Adopt that statio.nent as your own and you will Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Phone 9172 Distributor of -- Louie E.

The Weekend Here and Abroad: Carroll Blackwood found the weekend quite spicy here in State College when he took four healthy swigs from an authentic looking bottle he thought someone swiped from him. Only seconds later the poor chap was streaking for the nearest exit—to get rid of• the film developer 'that Dick Stebbins keeps in discarded bottles. And down in the city of brotnerly love,.Jack "Little Bo Peep" Dorrance lost his sheep and they had one heck of a time finding him. It turned out that he spent the night in Inc Youngs Men's Christian Association while recovering from his "amnesia." Ross Gilbert, warden and lt,zeper of the world's greatest troupe of deluded, driveling dunces (sometimes called "froth") waited all Friday night for his girl to show . up in Philly. Finally Around 1 a. in. a saddened and really sad Gilbert went to bed. In her essay on longfellow a little girl sub mitted this interesting bit about the poet's friend ships: "Longfellow had many Wqnds, but Anna and Phoebe Cary were the fastest." Birthday Presents: Captain Dennis—a new motorcycle with a heavy muffler so he can sneak up on the guys that parked the Ford on Old Main steps on Alum ni Weekend. • . Centre County—a new health officer so Dr. Ritenour can say without a quaver, "There is NO epidemic!" The water, you know. The Library—some assistants who can get a book for you in less than twenty minutes and a mile of red tape., The Dispensary—a new revised edition of "Diagnoses and HoW to Make them." Prof. Butt—a bigger and thicker ox whip and certain blue book. • Chick Maeser—a ten-year deferment, a lifetime pass to Bellefonte, and a courtesy card to Harry's. Voters of State College—a burgess, Peggy Colvin—at least two more pins, one from sig, if possible. Ed Allee—a copy of Chuck Elder's book, "Ten New and Original Methods of Apple Polishing." Chuck Reid—one more hour ith Alice Mur ray in Pittsburgh. ' Jim McKechnie—a new last name that he won't try to cash in on.
