FRIDAY, NOVEMBER .1, 1046 Political Tricks Name-calling and labeling are old tricks in the American game of politics. From the earliest days of our history, candidates seeking public office have subjected themselves to a great deal of• per sonal abuse, especially during heated campaigns. In this year, the second of the Atomic Age, once again the people of the U. S. are watching vari ous political contests being conducted in the old, traditional ways. As °a. result, many: of us are being led to believe that the elections this year will not decide whether the Republicans or Demo crats.take office, but whether the Fascists or Com munists will rule us, Probably there are a few of both species in. our two. major political parties. today. However, we think. that the bulk of the leaders in both the Republican .and. Democratic parties .are firm.believers.in the present American system and; that their differences are more a mat ter as •to how our system, should be administered. than whether it is right or not. 'Elections will not take place until next Tues day. There is still enough time left for yqu to investigate the issues and vote intelligently. Check all of the candidates individually and.don't vote a straight party ticket just because someone told you that this is a fight of the Democrats vs. the Fascists or the Republicans vs. the Com munists. Vote—but vote intelligently. Coed Group Reorganizes. With the objectives of promot ing cooperation and preventing • the occurrence of conflicts among women's organizations, the Coed•.

South A merican Coed Takes Profession From Father To raise chinchillas for breeding and to write about genetics are the ambitions of a Chilean girl studying animal husbandry at the College. Maria Hughes, from Chu qutcamata, borrowed, her profes sion from her father who raises chinchillas as a hobby. Maria likes to talk about these little animals whose fur is used for coats. She explains that there are two types which, experimenters are crossbreeding . in order to re •tain the desireable traits of both. These she will .sell in the United States for breeding. Whn her father flew to Los' Angeles last June with ten pairs of chinchillas to sell, he was met by reporters and photographers who .printed the story in many papers all over the country. Finds Studens Friendly .. 131 This is Maria's third semester at Penn State which she describeS as a "wonderful place—not like home, of course, but the people are so friendly I donit miss home. Next summer she intends to visit home and take a trip of sev eral days to her 80,000-acre farm in Bolivia. As yet she•has not seen the slooping farm with its dense vegetation, so Maria is looking forward to, the trip by horse. up the hilly paths. The name Hughes does _not make, one think of South America and the Chilean girl satisfied our query by explazning that her grandfather came from Ireland and. married. an Argentine woman. Lives. in- Desert Country. Senor Hughes is an. engineer at 'the American operated open-pit copper mine . near their 'home in 'the-middle of flat desert country. He. had brought his daughter to this country twice when she, was younger, so that although the "customs are very different" and Maria. misses some of the. hot na tive foods,. she, has. had little. dif ficulty in fitting, into campus life; The Bolivian - born sit udent learned English in school and from . her father in preparation for corn-: big to college in the United States. Penn . State - was chosen after a talk with . some Penn State grad- . uates of the Ag, school whom Maria.. niet at an American ern: bassy party. After seeing pictures of the campus, Maria admits she "simply fell in love with the 'place." Number Please Approximately twelve trailers in Windcrest have private tele phones.

"Yes?" the coeds responded politely, glancing from the speak er to his companion, a short, dark officer of about 30 years, who stood smilingly by. • "I come from the S'outh," tine older man continued.

Ouija 'Board Predicts 'Destiny and Future Squeak—squeak—squeak . . • "What's That?" cried uneasy. mem, bers of second - floor Watts Hall one night at midnight. Upon- in vestigation they found it was only a Ouija board on the fourth floor. Its- disciples were clusteced around the 14"x20" rectangle of masonite trying to get some vital answers to !Important questions. • The mystic belongs to Joyce Wrighter who stuck it in her trunk as "an after thought. Little did- she know what a prophet. it would be. She says she doesn't believe in it, but it forecast cor rectly that her sister's baby would be a girl weighing eight pciunds. Consternation ran rampant -when the piece of painted wood said .that two. girls were both go ing to. marry D. W. Of course, ' neither of them know a D. W., but that is a minor matter. Just, to cheek - on the -legality of the sit uation, the • board- was asked, "Will he be a !bigamist?" Their minds were relieved whein. the answer - was no, since he was go ing to divorce one of them. The Ouija board can. spell too, although it would' never pass Comp •O. Betty Stanley asked it if her father, a colonel in the Army. would be transferred from Fort Oglethorpe. Ouija replied,. "To Carlile in November." A. week. later Betty received .a. letter. say ing that her father had to be in. Carlisle November 3:. • Its fame has spread beyond: the fourth floor, and girls from all over the dorm borrow. the Ouija board. Ifyou would' like to know . . whether you will pass the next Econ. bluebook or if we will de feat Fordham, borrow the near est Ouija board.
