Now You Pat My Back !, -
The provisions of the Hatch Act have turned
the current campaign for borough offices into a
neat game of "who's campaigning for what." In
variably the answer is: "Not me, I'm just being
sponsored." Especially the candidates sponsored
by the Citizens' Committee for Better Local Gov
ernment, who arc all faculty members and bound
not to campaign for office. However, no one can
, top them from discussing their personal views
in an informal conversation. But, I have fre
quently queried, where does campaigning end
and discussion begin?
In spite of the reluctance of the three CCBLG
candidates to commit themselves, I have been
able to learn a few significant facts.
Let us first "discuss" Kenneth D. Hutchinson,
the cOmmittee's candidate for Burgess of State
College. Mr. Hutchinson, a member of the' Col
lege economics staff since 1939, has recently been
promoted, to associate professor. He has had
considerable business experience and is
. , • •enlight
ened enough to realize that student-borOugh
, .
rela
tions realignment. Mr. Hutchinson, feels, I
am certain, that by cooperating
.With duly-elected
Student G:overnment officers the office of the
Burge,s would be considerably aided: in dealing
With student Pioblems. Burgess Leitzell initiated
this procedure last year when he called in several
student•leaders to aid him' in .settling
in
volving other students.
An impartial person, with no political axe to
grind, Mr. Hutchinson would, in my opinion,
greatly enhance the position and is' an excellent
choice from any viewpoint. Students can rely
on hint for fair jytdgment, townspeople can trust
him.for impartial and intelligent settlements, and
faculty members can be sure of no undue pre
judice.
The two candidates for council, John A. Fergu
son, newly-promoted associate professor of poli
tical science, and Lebnard A. Doggett, professor
ofelectrical engineering, are equally fortunate
choices. Prof. Ferguson has done considerable
research in the field of municipal ownership of
utilities. The need for expert aid in the solution
of State College's water problem is recognized.
Prof.. Doggett was originally appointed to Coun
cil in 1939 largely because, of his knowledge of
the engineering problems facing the borough and
in that respect. his subsequent work as chairman
of Council's Water Company Committee has not
been less than expected.
If you have not received stickers to use on the
balkits (none of these candidates' names are print
ed on the ballots) call Mrs. 0. F. Eoucke, 2998,.

Letters To The Editor—
Student Dislikes
Juke-box Recreation
To The Editor:
I have been at Penn State a little
over a month now. During this
time I have had a glimpse at its
social life. Being a transfer stu
dent I am not aware of any agita
tion that may have taken place
upon this campus for a student so
cial center prior to my 'coming. But
I am not only aware, but amazed
at. finding the social life of an in
stitution of. higher learning on the
scale of Penn State so uncoordinat
ed and in such need of supplying
adequate social and recreational
facilities for coeducation's kesittre
hours.
Instead of having been provid
ed with a campus center for a so
cial aspect,that could be supervis
ed, I have been forced to look else,
where•for the "lighter side-of col
lege."
As you probably can surmise,
this "elsewhere" has not always
been in a wholes6me atmosphere.
For 4x4riple I quote' to you the
most' pobular "hangouts" with
which I have so far come

many - dther julce-johits with Which

,Colcsists of more than
just burying your head in a text

being given an equal and rounded
