PAGE TWO Let's Top 30 Per Cent EACH SEMESTER about this time a group of students convene, either in strict privacy or at some mass meeting, to decide who on campus is able, officious and conceited enough to hold a class office for the forthcoming school year. Shortly after these meetings posters appear all over State College. Store windows all over town I say to, "Quit your moans, vote for Jones" or "Get out of the rut, vote for Mutt." TYPICAL PLATFORMS often read thusly: "We the Know nuthin, see nuthin and do nuthin party promise to know nuthin, see nuthin and do nuthin and we also promise to quit molesting our fol lowers after the elections are over. Now really look at the platforms: they have more, behind them than appears at a glance. The above parody is a typical interpretation of the average student's version of a typical plat form. But when carefully examined, platforms have a real and definite purpose and are results of careful study. Don't vote for a straight party platform. Al ways vote for the best man for the office. Not until everyone does vote wisely will the results of an election be successful. Politicians often lead the voters to the polls but this seldom re sults in an intelligent vote. Too many students on campus have the attitude that elections concern only those immediately concerned with political parties. That is a miscon ' ception. To have a democratic student govern ment, the student leaders in office should have a , majority of student backing. Only 30% of the 1 students cast their votes at the All-College elec tion last spring. There is no reason why this figure , can't be topped this year. ELECTIONS ARE SLATED for today and to morrow in the balcony of Old Main. Polls will be open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. Voting machines will be used. Why don't you try to make it?

However some confusion may persist as to who will operate, manage and control the press, and as to the safeguards to assure that it would aid all students, and not just a few individuals. First, it must be pointed out that it will definitely not come under the aegis of the journalism department, or the Daily Collegian. A new student organization will be formed to set press poli cies, and carry out the daily printing operations. The Collegian, as well as other publications, will naturally be represented in this group. 'A charter has been drawn up for a "Penn State Student Press, Inc.," the managing body, to include five students and five faculty or staff members, each elected for one year. The actual operations will comprise a new student activity, opportunity for training and experience in printing and publishing. —vss vss—vss vss— —vss VSS—vss vss--V.SS Vss—vss VSS-- Don't Wait - Don't Hestitate - Vote Straight Stale -vss vss—vss vss--vss vss—vss vas--vss VW—VW PRESERVE STUDENT GOVERNMENT VOTE STATE ALL COLLEGE- Pres.—Bob Gabriel V.
