: “Hey, Fresh, you votin’ Key
or Wittany,” will be one of the
first questions asked, of any Fresh
man as soon as he hits campus.
Key and Nittany are the names
of the two political parties on
campus, and it is through either
on? or the other of these .parties
that a student gets elected to class
office.
. Any student at the College is
eligible to become active in cam
pus politics. All he has to do is'
to become' affiliated with one or
the other- of the parties, attend
clique meetings, and he’s in.
Fraternities, sororities, and in
dependents are represented on
both .the Key and Nittany parties.
Any group of students may form
a third party at any time, tout it
■is seldom that more than two
parties survive. The general idea
of. each party is. to enlist student
support, and around election time
competition for prospective voters
runs high. Each party undertakes
a spirited publicity campaign,
complete with .posters, banners,
painted automobiles, street dances
and bonfires —in fact any new idea
to “get ’em out for the party.”
: Elections are held at the be
ginning of each semester to choose
a president and treasurer for each
semester’s class. An All-College
president and treasurer are also
elected. Any student is eligible
to run for office in his semester if
his All-College’average is at least
a 1.- Winning semester presidents
become members of All-College
cabinet, the student self-govern
ing organization; elected treasur
er’s are members of the Interclass
Finance committee... •
Elections are under tire juris
diction and supervision of All-
College Elections committ.ee which
is appointed by Cabinet for one
semester to set up and carry
through the elections code.
The elections code establishes

campaigning and voting. The code
states that any group may become
a political party once it decides
upon a name, .elects an official
chairman and secretary, and sub
mits a. list of members to the
Elections committee. A clique
must have nominees for at least
a majority of the positions in an
election before it can submit can
didates for that election.
Every student is eligible and
expected to vote for his own class
officers and the All-College presi
dent and -treasurer. The candi
date receiving a plurality of votes
cast for his office wins the elec
tion. Elections are' held in the
first floor lounge of Old Main.
