Machines Dominate Politics
In Nittany Dormitory Area
Much has been said and writ
ten of the odious machine politics
of the . Boss Tweed and Kelly
eras, but few realize that such a
unique situation exists in the
\at - tally Dorm area of the College
—student government there also
,ieing of the machine type.
This organization is not of the
power politics kind, however, the
machines here containing candy.
cokes and cigarettes.
The governmental setup of the
Nittany Dorm Council rises from
the basis that all profits derived
from the various machines oper
ated -by this self-sufficient com
munity go into the Niti any Coun
cil - treasury.
In the area are four candy ma
chines, one cigarette dispenser
and a coke machine. Ed Adamitz
is the• owner of the candy and
cigarette machines.
No Taxation
Residents of the Nittany area
have student government with
out taxation their treasury
basea on profits accruing solely
from the machines. Out of the
treasury are paid two-thirds the
Lionews expenses (official Nit
tany and Pollock Circle news or
gan), stationary (for council ac
tivities) and president's expense
account. In addition, in conjunc
tion with other committees, all
social events are based on treas
ury funds.
To date the Nittany council
has not been forced to assess its
members because the machines
have earned enough income to
cover running expenses.

is the splendid gratis cooperation
given by the various Nitttiny
committees—all efforts being do
nated on a voluntary basis.
Cokes for the coke dispensing
machine are bought and sold by
the Nittan v Dorm Council, who
hires a student to service the ma
chine.
Just as in all small communi
ties, however, troubles are bound
to arise. One of the biggest pro
blems facing the Nittany council
is the return of empty coke
bottles. So great a nuisance has
this been that at various times
consideration has been given to
taking the machines out altogeth
er, or replacing the machines with
a paper cup dispenser.
The council can lose money by
the non-return of empty bottles.
while at the same time going into
the red. Money which would or
dinarily go back into the pockets
of the dormmen must then come
out of the treasury to pay for the
missing bottles.
As stated by Daniel Cottone,
Nittan v Dorm prexy, the coun
cil's aim in providing the area
residents with these machines
are to 1. Give service to the
men, and 2. Get profits. But in
giving services it is important not
to incur liabilities.
Switching to the candy ma
chines, 10 percent is realized from
the emptying of such a conces
sion, with one-half cent of each
candy bar going back into the
purchaser's pocket.
The biggest bargain observed
through machine purchasing is
cigarettes. The council tries to
purchase the lowest priced brand
of cigarettes with the result that
fags sell at 20 cents from the ma
chine while any place else they
cost 21-23 cents. One-half cent
is made on each pack of cigar
ettes.

VOTE LION
EXPERIENCE & ABILITY
The experienced, capable people who can do a good
job in next year's student government. The Lion Party's
candidates are equipped to deal with the serious prob
lems of your student government. They don't owe alle
giance to any fraternity or independent group for put
ting them into office. If elected, they will represent
the whole student body, not just a few powerful clique
leaders. Don't be snowed by politicians' promises, like
the bicameral government which the State Party keeps
promising to do something about. The State Party was
for it last year; this year, after a year in office, they're
still for it: but nothing has been done. And nothing will
be done, positive or negative, unless you VOTE LION
and elect people who will get results. Go to Old Main
today and vote, and VOTE LION.
