PAGE TWO ' Better Councils Today and tomorrow afford many Nittany students the chance to accomplish construc tive things through exercise of their voting privilege. Anytime from 8 in the morning until 5 ha the afternoon on these two days, sophs. Jun iors and seniors in six schools should take ten minutes to vole for student councils. These student councils at Penn State offer an opportune medium through which students can better conditions for themselves and their fellow students. They are among the best sounding boards for student opinion and clearing houses for constructive ideas. COUNCILS ARE democratic; they elect of ficers from their own number. And they have a direct voice in student government, since the president of each school council owns a seat on All 7 College Cabinet. FUNCTIONS OF student councils vary from school to school within the College, but gen erally they foster programs aimed toward amicable relations between student and stu dent, and faculty and student. In past years, councils have sponsored countless different projects—from faculty rating systems to talent shows, from student mixers to job placement aids, from school open houses to a proposed artificial lake near the College. As in the past, how cdnstructive and in teresting their programs will be this year will depend on the caliber of their members. That is why every student in the six schools mold ing elections should use his right of ballot diligently. In no other election will he have the chance to know the candidates so well, and weigh their qualifications so accurately, since they are his classmates. ’ The qualify of this year's Nitiany school councils will be in direct proportion to the number of thinking students who take ten minutes to vote today or tomorrow.

A ballot containing the names’ of artists proposed for the course was printed in the Penn State Collegian. When filled out by “students, the ballots were deposited in a box in Old Main and later tallied. . * Such instrumental groups as the Cleveland Symphony Orchs tra and the London String Quartet were offered for the students’ consideration, as were such instrumental soloists as Zirribalist and Levitski, Jose Iturbi, Albert Spalding, Ossip Gabrilowitsch. Among seven vocal numbers they had to choose from were Grace Moore, Grete Steueckgold, John Goss and his London Singers, The Westminister Choir and others. Six lecturers were also on the ballot, with Dorothy Thomp-. son, Hans Von Kalteiiborn and the .Martin Johnsons heading the list. Four companies, consisting lot dancers and dramatic artists, rounded out the selections. With a record ticket sale for the opening week of the cam paign,. officials for the Artists’ Course,' 20 years ago, decided to continue the sale “throughout next week.” Richard W. Grant, chairman of the Course report ed that he expected to have the Auditorium crowded to capacity on opening night of the Course, when the Russian Symphonic Choir was scheduled to present “Volga Boatmen. Song,” Dvorak's Humoresque,” and the “Credo” by Gretchaninoff ...

AVC Backing TO THE EDITOR: Concerning Saturday’s editorial “Vets’ Bonus”, by L. D. Gladfelter, I have found that this seems to be true: As far as the vet who is opposed to the bonus is concerned, if any vets organization had to come out against the bonus, it is un fortunate for most bonus opponents' that it had to be the AVC. AVC was found out definitely to have Red members; although they have been apparent ly ptirged, the very fact that they were once in the organization has sunk deep in the think ing of most vets. That—in thiS day—means virtual finis, more or less, for AVC, and was a major factor in AVC’s recent unsucessful attempt to merge with Amvets. Amvets would have nothing of it. AVC, although it may have some fine aims, cannot last long in this day of wariness of Red influence. As far as the general vet is concerned, that AVC has come out against the bonus will be (if anything) a contributing factor toward his voting for the bonus. There is now that re action or antipathy—toward AVC among most vets. You can’t get around it. Therefore, it boils down to this: For the sake of bonus opponents, Mr. Gladfelter’s. us ing AVC’s position as an argument for , the bonus is disastrous. Gazette .... Wednesday.
