A Job to Do
Last week's elections revealed the fact that
Penn State students are undoubtedly concerned
with their student government. Of approximate
ly 1500 students, 1152 went to the polls in Old
Main and took part in the forming of an All-Col
lege Cabinet.
Realizing the students' interest, Cabinet should
now turn to the task of accomplishing productive
measures. Political platforms were publicized as
the aims of the respective parties. Representa
tives of each political unit in Cabinet should jus
tify their elections to office by proposing initial
steps which might materialize their ideas of a bet
ter Penn State.
The Key party announced its intention of en-.
couraging more student activities by opening a
Student Center in the Armory. This idea un
doubtedly appeals. to coeds and men students.
There will always be sandwich hours, free time,
during which students could have the opportunity
to • get together . and familiarize themselves with
the rest of the student body. Wherever groups
congregate,• ideas are born and further activities.
take form.
Lion party's platform included the proposition
of having Sunday afternoon! concerts. A Sunday
afternoon in State College with practically no
form of entertainment and relaxation has become
somewhat of a tradition. Many students would
welcome back musical programs similar to thbse
of pre-war days.
Wartime restrictions face Cabinet, but if it is
to accomplish anything admirable, the present
time and situation will give it a chance to prove
its potentialities, and merit so much more the
gratitude previous Penn Sate student governments
have been given.
Service Flag
Freshmen passing in and out of Old Main have
surely noticed the service flag hanging on the bal
cony railing. It' is the second Service Flag in the
history of Penn State. The first flag was in honor
of men who fought in World War I.
The present flag was obtained by WSGA
House of Representatives and presented to the
College in October 1942 to honor State men in ac
tive service. It is eight by five feet in size and
can be described as a large white field with a blue
star in the center and finished with a red border.
White numerals are snapped on the blue star de
noting the number of Penn State men in active
service. One gold star is sewn on the white field
for every ten men killed.
According to records at the time of presentation,
the white numerals read 1,270, and there was one
gold star for the 12 men killed in action thus far.
Today, the white numerals read 8,850. The gold
stars have increased too. To date 126 Penn State
students have been killed or reported missing in
action serving their country.'

From the Carolina Gamecock: • The editorial
complaint of the day is the fact that those stud
ents who have the time and talents to participate
in campus affairs just don't.
These words of wisdom are directed to those
remnants of the oft-mentioned good old days, who
loudly lament the fact that campus affairs are
going to the dogs and yet fail to lift a helping fin
ger. Campus publications being our field, we will
rave on concerning them, although similar re
marks could be made about any other of the or
gariizations.
The Garnet and Black, the La Vie of the uni
versity, was late in appearing because the staff
was practically a- one-man (girl) affair. Most of
those who volunteered to work. fell down on the
job, and many others who could have been quite
helpful just didn't btither.
As for the Gamecock, we could lament forever,
so we won't start on the subject.
So, you who remember the peace time Carolina
when there were actually enough people to fill
the nedds and positions, and you who are looking
forward to a postwar Carolina when that happy
arrangement will not be a Utopian daydream,
don't be content to sneer at the attemi)ts'of today:
Surely there are some groups on campus that apz
peal to you—its a cinch that they need you.

Orientation, a course required of all freshmen,
has as its aim to instruct the freshman in the his
tory and traditions of the UniverSity of South Car
olina. Meeting /once a week, the course will en
tail study of attendance regulations, student acti
vities, student government catalogue law and the
honor principle.

Publicity men are getting away from the "be
a good pal and put this in" approach to newspaper
editors and have begun to produce stories that
stand up under news criticism, according to Law
rence Wheeler, head of the Indiana University
Foundation.
Mr. Wheeler, who has done publicity work for
various institutions for approximately twenty
years, explained that the way' to keep copy from
the "waste basket brigade" is not to write routine
reports that "look good in a scrapbook" but to
tell of the receipt of a gift or a project under way
and to say that "incidently, this was done by such
and such an organization."
He pointed out that educ,ational, benevolent and
industrial groups have begun to realize more and
more that publicity is the only method of pre
venting or clearing up misunderstandings and
that the field of opportunities in public relations
is expanding.
