There were 28 politicians on the platform yid about 40 more would-be's out front, with a mere handful of the student voters lost in the (.mpty spaces to the real Here was assembled the little group of leaders who aspire to the position of running the student rind of Penn State for the next year. Through the 4Nands of half of this small group will pass more than $25,000 in inter-class funds. Added to this ;is 'between two and three thousand dollars in corn tiensation for officers and committees. Although they don't actually handle the cash, 'these people wilt direct the spending. Did you know that it's :your money? Sure, you'll go to the polls and vote for the can didate that suits you best. We wager you might. have changed your mind had you attended the "huge" convention last night and heard the in r•lncere phrases stumbling from the lips of these .'randidates. One man said he favored bike racks hack of buildings but thalt he doubted that it would go through because of a lack of material. I -4 o that lets that one out. And there was much ;:lore of the same. Only bright note of the evening came when the >Lew "Victory Party" came forth with what hit *us as some good ideas. We're not urging support :for any particular party, but we urge you to take LL - tother look before you vote. Personality always )Llays a big part, and so does organization. No doubt they will continue to do so. Bult for the l'irst time in quite a few years, a political party :11as dared put forth something new in the way of ;1 platform. R.T.K. Pre-Induction Going into the Army? Then would you rather a private for a long time, or make a quick ad- v;incement?

GALS who are sup- posed to be learning the real facts of life (and we don't mean Soc. 4) who have no other aim what- soever than getting the best booth in the Cornet Room or finding out all the latest dirt—and the dirtier, the better GUYS who work night and day at a job and then sadly find out that it's not WHAT you know but WHO you know, who find out that waiting on tables, downing a couple of beers in the `Skel ler, or being an athletic flash is the secret to the college man's idea of success in college. GUYS who spend night after night searching and researching over a dignified test tube wonder ing where their next dollar is coming from... GUYS spending 24 hours daily in relaxation who don't give a damn where their next dollar is com ing from. BRILLIANT MINDS stumbling through four years of college, who, unless they have the good fortune to meet up with someone or something to give them a healthy stiove, will end up as they started—an absolute nobody. Both GUYS 'n GALS whose sole pleasure and personal. humor is derived from the art of riding, who will never realize that there is no human being alive who is not secretly offended thereby. A few PROFS who will never have the faintest idea of human nature—the understanding of which, incidentally, is man's greatest asset—who will finish a life-time of teaching still putting students to sleep and still wondering why only half the class shows up each period, who will never realize that after leading the horse to water his job is to make him drink, otherwise he will ultimately be classed as a failure. GUYS who still think the secret to success lies in a covert cloth suit, a hat turned up at a silly angle in the back, and a pair of Correvan shoes... and who will always blame everything pertaining to, government on "politics." Other PROFS who will always make it impos- sible to break down the wall between students and themselves because they either overestimate their intellect, don't have the time, or just don't give a damn. Their number, thank God, is be coming smaller and smaller. Or the GALS 'n GUYS who spend endless hours in bull sessions which consist solely of one in dividual trying to tell a *bigger story than the other and ending up with every participant think ing secretly the other is a liar. Yea, Joe agreed, you sure meet some funny people like this...guys and gals and profs and others who will always be against a thing but never for it GUYS 'n GALS who don't want Collegian col umns filled with talk about politics . or War or human - nature, but who read only the latest gossip, clever poem, funiest joke, news about his frater nity or sorority, or, most important of all, his own But realizing that this, too, is the foundation of human nature, we cheerfully tried to give it straight as we saw and heard it. It was especially fun under cover of the name George Spelvin, Jr., which we plagiarized from Mr. Westbrook Pegler. And thus we emerge to hand over this space to someone who knows more about column writing than this innocent bystander will ever know. is wrong when only 32 sign up to take a course of such importance. Most everyone is "in favor" of it, but no actual participation on the individual's part has been in evidence. Do our Penn State men consider this course.mi necessary? Do :they feel they'll get this training in the service anyway? It is difficult to specify what ever is holding back the plan. However, any male student still has a chalice to sign up for leadel•ihio ore-induction training tonight and to morr"),!.r ig!it botweea 7 and 8 o'clock. in 8 Car-- THE DAILY COLLEGIAN -ROBERT W. COOPER We. te Women Are Coeds Forgetting Their Own Morale? Coeds may think they're aiding the war effort by knitting, making surgical dressings, and buying war stamps. They are, but at this point they aren't helping their own morale. Central point on a dormitory table these days is the sugar bowl, a meager sight compared to pre war days. The contents could be increased with a little cooperation from women students. Time and time again announce ments have been made in dining halls asking coeds to turn in their sugar rationing cards. It isn't that dieticians want the . job •of filing and taking care of all these books. The government has asked for them. • Unless coeds turn in their cou pons for sugar allotment, it will be the coeds themselves who will suffer. In order to supply each table with an adequate amount of sugar each day, the card of every coed should be turned in to the dining commons head. These are then turned over to the govern ment. Unless the card of each coed is on hand, each woman will re receive less sugar. • At the present time many books are still missing. It is up to every coed to turn in her card. You can't have your cards and sugar, too. Or are you indifferent? —M. J. W. T4E:Elects Officers New officers of Tau Kappa Ep silon, elected at a recent meeting, are William G.
