With The
Politics
Since so many men are new to the campus
this Fall a short account of the politic set-up
might not be amiss.
There are, at the present two political parties:
Key and Nittany-Independent. In view of the fact
that ureliminary nominations must be made Sun
day evening, October 6, it is unlikely that any
other parties will be in competition this Fall.
They could not possibly get a petition signed
mid have it approved by the-Senate Committee
on Student Welfare by Sunday.
At the present time both parties are open for
fqiggestions and it is possible to join either one.
Students' interested should contact Al Green at
the Phi Epsilon Pi house, for the Nittany-Inde
pendent party, and Lloyd Barkley at the Alpha
Chi Sigma house for information on the Key
party.
While it is too late to form new parties,
it is not too late to join either party and make
nominations from the floor Sunday eveinirich
1 - . Neither political party, at LIE= present,
bi considered a machine. Both have the
usual "inner circle," but these inner circles
' don't always successfully call their shots.
Both parties are comprised of fraternity and
independent men. It is therefore possible for
independent or fraternal groups, interested in
backing any particular student, to work on either
party.
The important decision to make, of course, is
which party can offer your candidate the most.

McCollum, are those foods which represent
the richest sources of the basic nutritional

Ain't Always Funny:
Comic Angles Bright Spots
"Newspaper comics used to be
.clnly funny, or what then passed
or being funny, but now they
;ire many things. They are fan
qastic, gruesome, adventurous, and
times tremendously moral,"
Louis H. Bell, director of the.De
,parlment of Public Information
:it the College, told Bellefonte
Kiwanians yesterday.
Mr. Bell, a former newspaper
Irian, spoke in celebration of Na
tional Newspaper Week at the
t:lub's weekly luncheon at the
lPenn Belle Hotel.
In his talk, "The Serious Side
4IE the Comics," the speaker
I;tressed the importance of news
.oaper ccmics and the great fol
lowing they have among readers
of all ages.
' 'n a world in which papers re-
'Editor—
fleet many unpleasant events, the
comics are the "spot on the
bright side of the street," Mr.
Bell said.
He explained the mechanics of
producing comic strips, the man
ner in which they are sold and
something of the men and women
who write and draw them.
Comics reach 81,000,000 read
ers in 2,000 daily and Sunday
papers rnd another large audi=
ence in weekly and semi-weekly
. papers, the speaker said.
He paid tribute to the ,"good,
progressive and intelligent" job
being done by newspapers in
Centre County and throughout
the country. He said that a com
munity gets the type of papers
that the people in the community
want.

Cool OH Here
TO THE EDITOR: I want to express to you my
very sincere appreciation for the fine way in
which you handled the story of Education 105 in
your opening issue. That story has been respon
sible for bringing our course to the attention of
a great many students who are interested and
Who need the kind of help that we can give them.
You have done Voth us and the students a favor.
Very sincerely yours,

Edit Quips
We note, after glancing at a recent issue of
LOOK magazine, that The Pennsylvania State
College is not one of America's 100 best schools,
according to a polling of state superintendents
and other prominent educators in the United
States.
• We notice that the Bellefonte Chamber of
Commerce has decided not •to oppose OPA rent
control in the County. The Centre Daily Times
suggests that perhaps one group, at least, can see
the hand Writing on the tenants.
But we would like to point out that Belle
fonte has no large transitory group of students as
State College does. And then,• too, the State Col
lege C.•of C. just Inight have a more active secre
tary than the Bellefonte group. There is no deny
ing the fact that Col. Guy Mills has done an
excellent job in carrying out his duties as Secre
tary of the State College Chamber of Commerce.

Rent Control
There has been quite a bit of howling about
OPA rent control from various sources.
.
Tuesday evening, Mr. Schumacher, OPA Rent
Control Administrator from Williamsport, talked
before a group of students and townspeople. .
' In
to
of the fact that so few people found
time to attend the meeting, Collegian given you
a few quotes from his address:
"Every tenant should have received a copy
of his landlord's registration, if he is living any
where other than a rooming house. This registra
shows the maximum rent that may be charged
for such an accommodation.
"If the rent is higher than that of January 1,
1946, or if the tenant has never received the
registration report from his landlord, he should
report it to the OPA office in Williamsport.
• "New tenants do not receive a copy of the
landlord's registration, but • the landlord must
present his registration for the.new tenant to sign.
. "In addition, the landlord.mtlEt report - on - a
proper form within - five days after renting to a
new tenant. This form shows the maximum legal
rent; rent received from the former tenant; new
tenant's rent and also any change of equipment
since last renting.
"The rooming house is handled, by the OPA
in a different manner, which was devised to pro . —
tect the landlord form being forced to comply
with eviction rules.
"If the accommodations are a rooming house,
the situation is handled differently. Each room
must have posted in a conspicuous place the
maximum legal rents for that rdom for a certain
number of occupants on a monthly, weekly, or
daily• basis.
"If a landlord rents to. one or two tenants in
his own home who are not members of .his im
mediate family, the tenants are riot subject to
eviction regulations of .the rent control law. The
landlords, however, must register with the OPA
and ceiling rents apply to their rooms."
