Ready-Made Job
All-College elections committee met last night
.to set up an elections code under which student
cigvernment will be organized next semester.
Never before has the importance of the elections
croup risen to the heights that it now holds. Upon
this committee . will rest the :task of getting, stu

All-College constitution.

Keep It. Beautiful
"Please! Help keep your campus beautiful.
luring the season for growing grass in April and
May, faculty and students are requested to keep
:th . ictly to campus walks. Thank you."
So reads the numerous yellow placards which
have been placed around campus at places where
it is most convenient to cross the lawn, and where
in many instances the bare earth is showing
through.
Walking on the grass is not a crime, but walk
jag on it where it is apt to form a path does hin
oer the appearance of 'this campus. Many persons
)Jave Commented that Penn State's campus is one
of the most beautiful in the East, largely because
.if its extent and natural beauty. Fences, while
generally effective, are unsigtly and cannot pos
ibly every single place where a path is
forming. Besides, materials necessary for. their
construction are not helpful to the war effort. So,
the most tactful way to keep the grass unmarred
:try-paths was to place the signs at strategic spots.
While this was'the best method in the light of
circumstances, it does not seem the best where a
'better attitude should exist.
Penn State students should have enough pride
in the beauty of their campus that no fences or
ether reminders about the grass are necessary. It
:zctems unfortunate that this pride does not exist
and that many persons apparently don't care to
1:11ce a few extra steps to preserve natural beauty.
Don't walk on the grass. Rememb=er when you
wore striving to be recognized?

Collegian columnists, we've been told, are an
unusually sadistic breed of the home sapiens
which finds a special pleasure in using the printed
page to criticize, complain, and be generaly ob
structionistic.
Just to be different, or maybe because the
weather is so • pleasant, we'd like to spend our
last column of the semester singling out a few of
the guys and gals along Nittany mall whose efforts
during the past Months seem especially worthy
.of commendation.

AMONG THE MISSING
Our first choice in that direction is senior. Frank
Zabkar, in our opinion the number .one oversight
of the "outstanding senior" eduirnittee. - Fact
although Zabkar has probably done as much to
spread Penn State's name-n-fame as any single
one of the "outstanding," he was not even one• of
the 54 given preliminary consideration by the
St. Clair committee. Yet for four years Frank has
been meeting and beating debate opponents as a
representative of Penn State. He regins as presi
dent of the vast statewide organization of colle
giate debaters. Last month he won the debate for
Penn State in the national Jeffersonian Oration
Contest, two weeks later AP wires carried the
feature story titled "Penn State Representative
Coptures First Place in District Oratorial Finals."
He deliVered the Jefferson Day Oration before
both branches of the tSate Legislature. And al
though he did not have time to 'dabble in local
politics during his spare moments, he •did earn
membership to Delta. Sigma Rho, Pi Lambda Sig
ma, and Scabbard and Blades .1. . Radical though
it may: brand us,. we. sort. of flgger that Frank's:,
record is outstanding. • . •
