The mad-cap s_phomore class
tangle that has been capturing the
political spotlight seems rather
certain to be a record breaker—if
it would only stay stationary long
enough to be compared with exist
ing records.
The campaign •is still a couple
hours off, but at this point three
parties have already handed in a
total of 13 petitions endorsing 10
different candidates.
Sixty-four dollar question: What
class was it which, one week ago,
was entirely unable to whip up a
political fight?
Postscript
His name has once more been
withdrawn from the junior class
treasurer race in favor of another
candidate.
He's plugging away as campaign
manager for a ;hybrid group that
lost its official identity on the bal
lot through a coalition with Inde
pendents '45.
His new allies are members of
the clique he had worked for two
years to crush, and had finally al
most completely succeeded. - •
Walter C. Price, ex-head of the
mighty Campus '45 political ma
chine, is fast fading from Penn
State's political limelight. Long
may he study in peace. •
Trick Of The Trade
One of the neatest bits of poli
tiking in many a day—the plug
St. Clair got over the radio during
the Penn game. The Independents
had every opportunity to do ditto
doubly, but then who ever thought
that a sportscaster would mention
that one of the football players was
also a candidate for class office?
Senior Struggle. _
The 'hokus-pokes of new parties
and cross-breed slates is admitted
ly interest-attracting, but for a
straight-laced, old-fashioned poli
tical battle, the senior class de
serves an unanimous award.
Two hard-working presidential
candidates, backed by two well
organized, battle-wise cliques, are
putting on an exhibition of an al
most professional calibre.
It's the last college campaign for
both the candidates and their•
cliques, and they both seem to be
concentrating on this race as their
all-out effort.
Political Pickups
Reports from the battlefront

Blakeslee Urges Full Use
Of Student Franchise
In Three-Day Balloting
"Penn State is a testing ground
for democracy," Jerome C. Blakes
lee, All-College president, stated
last night, as he called upon stu
dents to exercise their franchise in
the voting that begins at 12:30 p. m.
today.
Following is the complete text
of the All-College president's state
ment:
"A new group of student leaders
will soon take over in All-College
Cabinet to direct the policies of
student life. These student leaders
will undoubtedly 'be faced with
even more perplexing problems
than have been the present mem
bers of Cabinet.
"It is up to the student body to
elect those 'students best qualified
to carry out these responsibilities.
As All-College President I , call on
you students to exercise your fran
chise in the All-College elections
starting today at 12:30 p. m. in Old
Main. Penn State is a testing
ground for democracy. You can do
your part to make democracy work
at Penn State by casting your vote
today, tomorrow or Thursday."
DOROTHY K. BRUNNER
Candidate for All-College Vice
president, Independent Party
is reporting privately that she
could run the clique better than
the regular party boss...
That one of the All-College can
didates is l-A with Uncle Sam...
That fines are .awaiting - certain of
the cliques for not including the
All-College averages on candidates'
petitions...
That Campus '4s's new clique
chairman turned. partially gray
haired last week trying •to think ol
some way to nab a ray or two of
the spotlight from the opposition
forces... •
That the non-fraternity man
doesn't get more consideration in
politics because he's not willing
to earn it by coming out to vote...
That, after the present battle has
spent itself, all clique chairmen
may automatically be re-classified
under 4-F. More parties and the
fear of more parties are said to be
creating nervous wrecks.
