PAGE FOUR Get Out and Vote From a purely unbiased viewpoint, it matters little which of the three political parties, Key, Lion, or Nittany, makes out in the All-College elections Tuesday and WednesdaY. The cliques are running candidates of about the same calibre and their platforms vary on only a few planks. However, it is important that the election re turns reflect the wishes of the majority of the students, and-not just the few campus cliques in terested in politics, or the minority groups who want to see their friends and acquaintances in office. The very essence of a Democratic election is that it should represent the voice of the people. And the students at Penn State are the people on this campus. If the results of the election prove that only a minority group voted, then the students will have no grounds to complain if the offiCers they did not elect fail to carry out their party platforms. It's up to the 2272 students representing the second to eichth. semesters. According to the Elections Code, voting will be conducted in the first floor lounge of Old Main from 9 a. m. to 5 p. m. on Tuesday and Wednes day. The polls will be open continuously between the specified hours. Get out and vote! Thespian Comeback The recent announcement that Penn State Thes pian Club is engaged in preparing a musical com edy to be presented on campus this semester came as welcome news indeed to the many students who were fortunate enough to enjoy some of Thes pians' past productions before difficult circum stances forced the club into inactivity. Founded in 1897, Thespians is one of the oldest organizations 'en the campus and was one of the pioneer college musical comedy groups in the East. Since 1907 when Thespians first prbduced a full-length musical it has built up an almost un broken streak of "a production a semester" and during this time it has constantly added to its re putation and that of the college by constantly im proving upon the quality of its entertainment. Not lagging behind any other campus organize ticn in war activity, Thespians has been sending out mobile units to entertain in army camps in direct co-operation with the USO. This factor made a large scale production unfeasable during the oast three semesters. With the large number of new and returning students on campus this semester, and the several hundred interested persons who appeared for tal ent tryouts several weeks ago, Thespians has found it possible to go ahead with plans for a show which 'the club and it many friends and well wishers on campus hope will demonstrate to the new students the entertainment value this organ.. ization has at Penn State. Hearty congratulations to Thespians for its comeback to be of service to its fellow students —BJC certainly are not amiss THE COLLEGIAN "For a Better Penn State" Establiiphed 1940.

Hungry Look Dear• Brutus,. • . • - • • • After weeks-of waiting with bated breath I have filially realized my heart's desire. I know that You - will think it unusual that a man of my ob vious disrepute should -so passionately desire a copy of the latest Women's Recreation' Association Handbook, bdt, I have lusted after this intimate eXpose of the inner workings of .the WRA ever since I first cut my teeth on a coed's fist. Seizing my .chance with the technical perfection and masterly strategy that has characterized the operations of Cassius since his initial sortie against the forces of Penn State womanhood, I fastened my attentions on the comely figure :of a freshman coed. It was not a hard battle. Insidiously feeding her candy gumdrops which I had the foresight to soak in gin', it was not long before she was mere putty in my hands. I took shameful advantage of the poor girl in her intoxicated condition, and - I soon had her most prized possession—her blue and white copy of the WRA handbook. Now I learn that for recreation they join not. more than two of the following "clubs:" Archery, badminton, bowling, bridge,- dance, fencing, golf, outing, riding, rifle, swimming, and tennis. After becoming the 'recipient of this startling information I decided to take stock of my senses. Either I or the young ladies who so gushingly pro claimed that badminton is what coeds do for re creation have crossed the borderline of sanity. It would serve no concrete purpose to throw around Unsupported accusations. Therefore I was forced to conduct a public opinion poll. Promptly at seven o'clock that very Saturday night I stationed myself in front of Atherton Hall, a well-known red brick building on campus, and proceeded to gather information. I approach ed the first coed who passed through that hallow ed door, a buxom lass carrying a number-9 iron. "What do you do for recreation, my pretty miss?" I asked with a knowing leer. Reeling back from the vicious blow of the niblic with, blood on. my forehead, I chalked one up for WRA. This state of. affairs continued for quite some time. Muscular monsters carrying a variety of ath letic equipment including shuttle_cocks, bowling balls, sabers, white-stockinged Shetland ponys, swimming pools, tennis racquets, and Garand rifles would listen politely to my question •and then commit terrible forms of mayhem on my battered frame. Later. I learned that these •wp men were not an accurate cross-section of Penn State • coeds, but a delegation of Phys-Ed majors going to welcome Miss Muscles Muckraker who had just knocked out Mr. Joe Louis in , three bloody rounds at Madison Square Garden. I then went into the lounge of Atherton Hall where I met the remainder of the Penn State coeds. I left as the clock struck one, my necktie awry and my face flushing crimson. It• was quite a struggle but it helped prove my point—WßA, you're off the beam.. —CASSIUS
