To Head
By Elliot Shapiro
A new political party has been
formed on campus.
Student leaders have called on
Eugene Fulmer, All-College sec
retary-treasurer, to head the new
party.
With the Nittany-Independent
party apparently dead, these cam
pus figures felt that campus poli
tics needed more than just one
partly. At a meeting recently they
asked Fulmer to act as temporary
chairman of the party and name a
steering committee.
The Nittany-Independent party
placed only one candidate in the
last AlLCoblege election and be
cause of its inactivity recently
many have assumed that it is de
funct.
Student Leaders
Some of the men who met with
Fullmer are Willard Agnew, IFC
president; , Ray Brooks, boxing
manager; Jack Cameron, Delta
I.lps*n president and former N-I
campaign manager.
Others are George Chapman,
campus politico; Robert Koser,
Thespian president; James Lotz,
Education School council presi
dent; James Mamallum, former
Pollock Circle president; Fritz,
Sippel, former Sigma Phi Epsilon
president; Frank Tidiona,
president; and Edward WalaM
age, Pollock Circle Council presi
dent.
Students Organize Party
Fulmer invited all students to
attend the organization meeting in
405 Old Main at 7 p.m. Sunday.
Tthe structure of the party, repre
sentation in it, and its officers will
be discussed then. The temporary
chairman pointed out that stu
dents will have a chance to or
ganize this party the way they
want it.
