Let's Play Politics '•Any sincerely good intentions that Cabinet might have had in proposing to reestablish two political parties with an equal balance of power are certainly paving the well-known road to Hades by this time. ' After inviting all the candidates. of the last All-College election to their meeting Tuesday night, Cabinet proceeded to outline their proposed plan to line up party members regard less of previous political affiliations. Candidates were to draw slips which 'had been numbered "i" and "2." All well and good up to that point. But, as usual, there was a neat little loophole which turned into a death noose for any kind of equality between the two factions. When all the numbers, had been drawn; any_ one so desired could trade places with someone •on the other side. After this little fiasco had taken place, it was no surprise to anyone to see that all the members of a former party clique were sitting on one side of the table, while oppo site 'them were the miscellaneous, the also-rans, ,and those whOvere newly initiated into politics this past semester. , The 'whole, meeting resembled a group of kids choosing up sides for a game of "Red Rover," rather than a serious attempt to clean lip College politics. But it's' hardly. fair to say that it was the method devised*whichwas mainly at fault. Any system, no matter how objective, would. probably, have resulted in the same ultimate outcome. It was inevitable for the simple' reason that there still remains a strong nucleus of once-affiliated politiCians. . . . But there' is a simple.and-obvious. remedy. ••.• • • Since there is no way to prevent the reestablishment of this former clique, the solution lie in the ,formation of an other clique nich will. be , arnbitions-.enotigh: and ,strong enough to organize a firm platform and work towards its realization. Political organization along these lines would certainly be a refreshing enough novelty for Penn State.to attract a lot of attention and support. Perhaps the fault with this remedy lies in its very sim plicity. People have a tendency to leave the simple and the obvious to the other fellow. On Tuesday night a meeting which is open to all potential politicians will be held in Old Main. The turnout for this meeting will sh )W whether we are capable of organizing a de cent and effective student government; and it will largely determine Penn State's political set-up for the duration, at leaSt". • '•' ' '` '• ' ' 2- - ' • • • THE COLLEGIAN "For A Better Penn Stale" THE COLLEGIAN Staff This Issue Managing Editor Larry T.
