Leo Kornfield, Audrey Rybaek Friday, March 30, 1945 Victors Take Over Duties Within a few days the newly elected class pre sidents will take their places on All-College Cab inet. The election is over and now the victorious candidates will assume their responsibilities to the students. The class officers will meet in the near future to formulate plans for the remainder of the sem ester. In the meantime, it is the duty of every student to suggest some sort of constructive pro gram to his or her representative. During the oast election campaign numerous pledges were made by the candidates. Some of the promises will be kept, while others will be ignor ed. However, there are a few points in the two parties' platforms which must not be pushed aside. Both the Key and Nittany cliques agree that school spirit must be restored to its former sta tus. Each has its own program to bring back "Penn State spirit." Perhaps a combination of both programs would be more effective. It will be up to Cabinet to make the decision. Another important item is cooperation with the ex-servicemen who are now students at the Coll ege. Cabinet must make the former G. I. Joe's feel as though they are part of the college. The men who have returned from the battlefronts should not be classified and distinguished froxii the regular students: Although neither platform mentioned the revis ion of the All-College Cabinet Constitution, cir cumstances have proven that changes are neces sary. For several months now Cabinet has been Considering the move, but nothing has been•done as yet. It will be the responsibility of the new Cabinet to investigate the prolblems and discover what changes are necessary. At this week's Cabinet meeteing a proposal to extend voting nower to WSGA and the Judicial committee was introduced. However, the matter was also referred to the new Cabinet. These are just a few of the problems which the newly elected class officers will have to decide upon as soon as they take office. A Light in the Dark In liberated countries all over the world uni versities are reopening today the lights of learn ing are coming on again to lead the people in a world of darkness. The 689-year-old University of Paris reopened its doors to more than 3000 students in January in a city that has become thee tuberculosis capital of the world. The University of Caen went up in flames on July 7, 1944, but its students immed iately organized a mutual self-help in a city where 40,000 are homeless. • The University of Belgrade in Yugoslavia has reopened for wounded students and for badly needed doctors and technicians. The looted Uni versity of Pisa is operating again, while the Uni versity of Cracow will start again shortly. The 143 colleges and universities in China have enrolled 73,000 students. Although most of them are in temporary locations, badly housed, and poorly equipped, they are managing to contin ue. The world is beginning to awake from• its deep slumber. The lights of education are com ing on again. t,)uis. Bell ___Fay E. Yonne . Helen V. Hatton Gloria Nerenberg ____Mary Louise Davey, Penn Statements Things were really hot at the Student Tribunal meeting this week.' In the longest meeting for semesters, Chairman Guy Newton sentenc ed 16 freshmen for violating custom regulations. Twenty first-semester freshmen appeared before the men's judi cial body during the two hour meeting and only four managed to escape "the curse of the batmen.' Tribunal's action followed a students during the first month of College study. Judicial, Tribunal's kid sister, is expected to take similar action in the near future. The two groups are determined to check the spread of frosh cus tom violations. All this week Tribunal has been staging mass meetings and song-fests in front of Old Main in an effort to make freshmen realize the necessity of continuing customs and their connection with the traditions of Penn State. The lack of school spirit has been growing with each semes ter. The move by Tribunal, is in tended as the first step in bring ing back "Penn State Spirit." • Last week only five. freshmen were reported to Tribunal for breaking customs: Four of these men were convicted and sentenc ed, while many other violators were not even reported to Tribu nal.

A Lean And Hungry Look It was a lovely day in the early .spring,of ,1945 when the Easter bunny came hopping up the road to Penn State. The unusually warm weather had made the bunny behind schedule so that his long pink ears flapped wildly in the breeze as he rac ed along College avenue. A strange sight met the bunny's eyes as he skid ded to a stop in front of the Corner. Room. The unusual beanery was bedecked with posters, each listing the virtues of several students. An elec tion! The bunny was overjoyed. He loved elections. InSide the Corner all was abuzz. The bunny jumped upon a stool and ordered a carrot sundae from a pretty waitress. Then he hopped under a table occupied by several students whose per petually smiling faces and gnawed finger nails identified them as candidates. He was drinking In the inside story about the election when a hand swollen from slapping backs seized him by the scruff of the neck. Dropping the bunny on the table amid coke glasses and lists of voters„the nolitician fastened his smile back into "place. `liave you voted yet?" he asked. "'No," the bunny said. There was a sudden flash of movement. The bunny found himself sandwiched in between two gunmen in a convertible speeding up, the mall to Old Main. The election committee clerk fixed ;baleful eyes 'on the rabbit. "Where's your matriculation card?" he snarled politely. "I can identify him," one of the bunny's new friends said surreptitiously dropping a dollar bill. The clerk handed over a ballot which the bunny marked with the expert assistance of a clique chairman, two candidates and several impartial party workers. Then somebody kicked him out through the door. Undismayed, the little white rabbit trudged a-. long with the crowd as it went to the counting of the ballots. This part of the election proceed ed without a hitch. First the clique chairmen beat the election committee• into senselessness, then they proceeded to find a disinterested person to count the ballots. After a little thought they decided the brother of one of the candidates would be the ideal man. From then on in everything was in the bag. The counting was facilitated by the simple process of burning all the ballots and imagining the returns. Outside the bunny met a disconsolate group of politicos whose candidates had lost. "I've had some experience with bunny elections," he said, "and when the vote appears to be going against us, we merely go out and make some more voters." I know that a lot• of people may deplore the tone of this story. No offense is• meant since -the elec tion was fairly fought and.gentlemanly conducted. The column was written by an April Fool. Ship Ahoy Here it is again, the column with the nauseous nautical trend.
