RAGE TWC Exhibit Number One— • Yesterday, in an editoriid, we•insinuated that the i~ittany-independent party had not fulfilled its platform pledges ever the past year. The making of inferences without the use of spe cific examples would hardly be fair to the Nittany Independent party—so today we will proceed with the case against the platform that was to be carried put if the N-I party was swept into office. Point five on their platform was: "One delegate from Pollock Circle to be chosen by that group to represent them on All-College Cabinet." This was obviously nothing more than bait dangled before the 800 men in Pollock Circle as subsequent cabinet meetings showed, for time after time the discussion was put off; it was finally de feated and as we recall the 'Nittany-Independent voting members on cabinet did not vote for giving them a seat. Incidentally, we are not censuring them for not giving Pollock Circle a seat—for giving the circle a seat on the supposition that being a geographical group entitled Pollock Circle to rePresentation if It Ain't One Thing Maybe we can't do anything about the weather but the'weather is certainly doing a lot of uncalled for things to us. It has turned this relatively rational little community of State College into a town of mad-men, ' sadists, •melancholics and Take my roommate for instance. I caught him , sitting glumly on his bed, yesterday, staring mournfully at a bottle full of some unknown sub stance. . "See this?" he asked when I came up to him "Sure thing," I answered. "What is it?" "This is a bottle of Sulphur and Molasses. My Morn sent it from home a few days ago, in case I got Spring fever.", "0.K.," I said, "So what? Mothers are always doing that in the Spring." "Is that right," he asked sarcastically while shaking the bottle in front of my nose, "And does Little Man's Last Stand For those students who may wonder why the Daily Collegian should excite itself over something like student elections we say that we sincerely be lieve' that Student Government can accomplish much if it is lifted above the level of being nothing More than a popularity contest.

Rather we look askance at a glib platform that merely promises to get votes; from the light Pollock Circle vot3 cast in the last elec tions it is safe to assume that not too many suckers fell for such bail. So our second suggestion to Mr. Hirsh, who is going to chairman the Nittany-Independent Plat form Committee, is this: Why don't you single-out one or two planks for this platform you propose to construct and have the party stick to its pledge by devoting all of its energy to carrying•oitt• these Planks?' A difficult assignment to be sure but the student body would have more faith in student govern ment and politics if there was the slightest attempt to .be sincere in composing a platform. ,(This is the second in a series of .articles to ne run from time to time dnring the' neld - leiv .iineks.)• • it always freeze?" Later while I was hurrying to my journalism 21 clasS, my' head became the final resting place for a viciously thrown 'snowball.' When I turned angrily to confront my attacker, I saw a 'Wildeyed figure With a calendar held in his trembling' hands. His mouth was working furiously, and in between sneezes, I could hear hiS broken voice saying over and over again: "March 21. March 21. March 21." But noteworthy for its sadism was what hap pened to me while I was ordering dinner last night. "Don't we ever . get anything in State College except snow?" I asked the waitress. "Well," she said . smiling consolingly, "once we get rid of this here March we will." • "I hope so,". I said with feeling. "Yep," said the waitress, "we'll get rain."

Little Mna . on the campus (average height: 5' 8" —you see him everywhere) was exhausted. A Week of screeching and preaching at him by adherents of the BVD and PJ parties, enlisting his support for presidential candidates Hi Fellow and Hotstuff Waffleburner, was too much. Little Mari stumbled to his rabbit hutch at the student stables to sleep it off—for a month, he hoped. But far below, along Fraternity ,Row. Hot dog Row and in the smoke-filled dens of FrA :terpity houies, there-was no rest. For so tiring had - begn the reams of bOmbastic chapet shaking propaganda about "Give The Latindry Representatives nChatice" that Little Man had neglected to vote. In consequence - of this fatal failure to exercise his democratic privilege, Little Man had provoked an unprecedented dilemma in the history of, Stu dent Goldfish Association elections. The election had ended in a dead heat: Fellow - 993, Waffle burner 998, Kilroy (the champion of Little Man) 2. When Little Man crawled from his dorm room to . the campus below, he was aghast at the grim visages of those politicos who, only yesterday it seemed, had jovially greeted him in the chow line. A massive hulk, who had g iven him a stick of gum and a free ticket to the Party dance,, sneered dis dainfully, "You did it, Little Man." "Why, Thug Axter, whatever do you mean?" "Everybody knows. You forgot to vote. And after all that good gum too.! We don't have an SGA anv r•-nre. Fellow andWaffleburner are tied 998 to 998!" Editor Horace Hodgepodge, analyzing the situation in a three-column editorial, proposed a captivating solution. Why not let Little Man cast the deciding ballot at the intermission of the Coed Ball? If Coach Stonecole Dade would permit it, the football field could be' thrown open for the occaiion—dancing under the stars! Politics! Drama! A I?reath-taking'speCiaciel The idea spread Ilk& Wildfire': The politibOS were gleeful, their problems solved. Little Man, the man of the hour, was wined and dined for weeks. 'War fleburner served him breakfast in bed. Fellow per fo,•rrwri his math homework. The SGA would live again! vvitti the tense thousands watching, Little Man cast his fateful ballot at the Coed Ball. Beauty Queen Huffa Puffa opened the tiny slip of paper. Would it be Wafflebiarner? Oh, let it be Fellow!

The Local Affairs committee of the Common Sense Club would like to prevent this same situa tion from occurring next Fall. At present the College is considering having the concerts on two successive nights with the same seating allotment, i.e., one row of students and one row of faculty and townspeople.

Acle,lman —From the Editor's Mailbox Credit Due • TO THE EDITOR: The purpose of this letter is .not to take credit away from anyone but merely to give credit where credit is due. In • Tuesday's issue of the Daily Collegian and recently over the radio much has been said about the close fight Cliff Lutz, inter collegiate boxing champion from the University of Wisconsin, is supposed to. have won from Jim Cassidy of Penn State. I will readily adniit that Lutz won this 'fight and 'Ahat if • was Clc:Se one; * but there's one' thing wrong'-and that 'is . Oat it 'vas not Casiidir who fought 'Lutz, .but Jack sheehe incidentallY, fought with a broken foot. Although this Was unknown at the time, Jack had'broken a bone in his right foot almost a week before the fight and had been un able to do any strenuous training. In Tuesday's issue of .the Daily Collegian, an article appeared giv ing the list .of letter .winners in various sports. InCluded under the list of names for lidxing 'letters Were those of ,Sitkin, .SoSter, Ran- ieri, and Green. Two of these men fought one fight each, hoth in the Intercol legiates ('Soster and Ranieri). Sit kin fought three times with two 'One Race—Humanity' TO TEIE EDITOR: Today w e ar e faced with a mo mentous world crisis, in which our demo cr ac y stands alone against the new end expanding ideas of Communism. In fact, we are the only power that stands between Soviet Russia and im mediate domination of the world by her. In . this hour of challenge, it might be wise to , examine the standards of this' democracy, the only hOpe of those now engaged everywhere in - fighting the men cing tide Of •l3oshevism. Our national existenc e is .based upon the Moral preinthe that "all men are Created equal" and should have an .equal right to enitiy . the benefits and pleasures of life. We, by our very exist ence as Americans, .assume a del_ inite• ,rroral Obligation: to treat every man as our equal, 'without' regard 'to his origin, color or religion. Tc a degree we have.kepi this pledge, and in the : keeping, have achieved great economic 'and in dustrial progress. a great deal 'ot personal liberty, and the highest national standard of living in the world. However, upon a closer exam ination, it is apparent that this atligation, this promise, has been poorly . - nd infrequently kept, by and large, and that most of the Slide . Rule Ball TO THE EDITOR: On behalf of the Penn State Engineer and the Engineering .Student Council we would like to express our appre ciation to all those that attended the Slide Rule Ball. We are sorry that more, people were unable to be present. We feel that the Dance was a success since one of the main reasons for holding a dance is to provide rec reation in a place that is noted for poor facilities.
