PAGE TWO
Platform Lifting
One of Penn State's political parties seems Ito
be laboring under 'the !impression that the party
making the most promises wiilil he victorious• at
the polls. Evidence of th:s fact appeared when
the Key party submitted .a revised platform that
included several points not found 'in the original
draft.
In the first Key platform there were five
points. This platform was submitted to Colle
gian on March 17. At this time a member of the
Key clique was informed that the opposing party
had three planks, about which they were power
less to do anything. , fflead editorial below.)
Me Key party upon receiving this bit of news
set , abcut revising their platform, so as to include
the gist of these three planks, but couching them
in such language that they are not a part'of their
platform. This addition is found in the Key
platform, 'beginning after the fifth point.
!We are not concerned With the legallity of "lift
ing" a portion of the opposing party's platform.
We are concerned with the lack of conviction in
the party's ideals and purposes which evidences
itself when the act of lifting .a portion of the op
posing party's platform is ,committed. In the fu
ture it will be necessary for the politiCal groups
no show originality and a concern for the student
body if. they are to obtain the student vote. —ORS
Empty Promises
Collegian, in its editorial columns has been con
binuallly emphasizing the importance of feasible
campus political platforms. Yet, once again 'a
political party has issued a platform containing
promises which 'the party, even if elected to office,
, cOull not possibly carry out.
TheNittany-Independent platform promises to
restore a , daily newspaper to campus : hind to re
vive a larger sports program.T The :,re4yal..
• .. •of
these activities is not within •the 'Scope of Ail
.
College Cabinet's power.,
Eventually, these war-curtailed activities will
return to and (probably even surpass pre-war
standards. But this will not be through the ef
forts of any political party. .
Also, it is not the function of cabinet 'to assume
the duties of other college 'organizations, namely
the Public Information department. This or
ganization has been Obtaining national ipiiblicity
for Penn State activities without , the add of any
political clique.
And what about the Henry Varnum Poor 'fres
'co? The last All-College Cabinet showed, that it
is possible to obtain funds for .eomPletion of the
mural, but the party Tailed to mention it on•their
platform.
Just' another case otf empty profnises.
'Editor's. Note:
Just to :further clarify tihe political scene, both
the Key and Nittany-Independent parties con
ta•in fraternity, sorority and independent mem
