With the Editor
if those student s who consider student gov
ernment mor e than a popularity contest to be
theld once a year, the following may be of some in
dot-motion:
Since the start of th e semester, All-College Cab
i net has met• three times. A small group of stud
ents have taken an activ e interest in the meetings.
!lost of them are men running for offic e this Fall.
'Their motivation for attending and Participating
in student government meetings may have been
political in nature; this I doubt.
To Jim 'Sheehan, candidate for Senior class
president, goes most of the credit for the work
that has been accomplished by cabinet this Fall.
Jim probably feels that he could have spent those
thre e Thursday evenings more profitably by cam
paigning where the votes are. He wa s however,
conscientious enough to carry on, his duties as
acting 'cliairnian, even though it was not neces
sary for him to call cabinet meetings.
Other presidential candidates who took a n ac
tive part in student government meetings and
work were Bob Foote, candidat e for All-College
president: Gene FtOmer, candidate for Junior
claps president and both 'Sophomore presidential
nominees, Emory Brown and Richard Sarge.

HOWARD MAXWELL
Junior Vice-President
Campus-Key Replies
TO THE EDITOR; Wagging of tongues and ov
er use of th e pen has long been known as the tell
tale sore spot of those that are in much the same
position as the cornered rat. The return of old
Campus party members and in turn their mass
movement toward ties with the Key party seems
to irk the opposition because of their loss and our
gain in talent, experience and integrity.
The theme song of th e oppOsition as the only
friend of the independent students is in itself the
most base mis-statement of fact to come out in
this campaign.
We remind every student that the Campus-Key
party has two independent candidates; exactly the
same number as the Nittany-Independent party.
Where does this giv e them priority as the Chain
pion of th e independent students? The Nittany-
Independent party inaugurated the 60-40 per cent
plan whereby at least 40 per cent of their candi
dates would be representatives of the indepen
dent students. Has mathematics changed so .that
TWO independent candidates out of TWDLVE is
40 per cent?
We are sorry that members of the Nittany-Th
dependent party must use the column "To the
Editor" of th e Daily Collegian to misinform the
Student body as to the policies of th e Campus-
Key party:- These two men wrote, "There are some
of :us—who had stakes in the Campus .party'—
that realiz e that the old idea*. of fraternity versus
independent is definitely outmoded."
We •wonder if these two men realize that the
present Nittany74ndependent party
. which was
once know n , as the Nittany party, approached the
Key party a few month s back and wanted to com
bine into one party against th e independents. This
incident is recalled' very clearly- and it is -rerriem
ber.ed that we refuSed the Nittany party's sugge
tion. It was then that the Nittany party merged
"'as the Nittany-Independent party.
We are amused to discover that Mr. Miller and
Mr. DOuglas first denounce the old Campu s party
a s a political "machine," and immediately assert
that they number among thernselves sorn4 of those,
"policy making" members of :that "machine."
• Th e spirit of this letter is neither aggressive nor
defensive. It is rather, a . protest againSt seeming
ly willful deprecation by those who seek personal ,
gain through the erroneous presumption that
Penn Stat e students are ignorant of the facts and
easily mislead.
We do not- believe these conjectures to 'be well
founded. We Challeng e th e perpetrators of the let
ter to the editor to show proof either .of tthe
idity of their accusations, or of the disproof of the.
statements we have made in this letter.
Popularity
TO . TI-PE EDITOR: If the members of the football
team who swiped th e Student Union display from
a fraternity house sometime after 2 a.m. • Sunday
had expended that energy in , Satuiday't game—
the fraternity would have had a display left on
Sundays—:and the football team might - be' a .little
more popular with the student body than, they ar e
right now.

India-1946
Tomorrow night the Common

entitled "India 194 G." At thi s time
native Indian students from the
College will speak and a film,
"The Changing Face of India," will
be shown. W e invite you to attend
this meeting because we think it
will interest you. ,
Why, you may ask, s hould we,
the students of Penn State be in_
terested in far-away India? There
are several excellent reasons aside
from any
.purely cultural consid
erations. If we subscribe to the
belief that men are brothers, con
cern for the well-being of all men
Should follow quite naturally.
At this tim e India is especially
worthy of interest—she is a coun
try. of many complex problerns
which have been intensified to a
certain degree by the colonial pol
icies of Great Britain. • -
As citizens of the world it is to
our own best interests that we
keep ourselves informed about .the
problems of other world citizens,
