I*AGE SIX
Outstanding Seniors
(This is the first in a series oi articles concerning prominent
men and women who have proven themselves outstanding in
one or more fields of activity at the College.)
By Myrna Tex
Many students often stop to wonder how some of the more
important personalities on campus came to hold their present
positions and what qualifications and experience these men and
women can show to prove themselves worthy of the responsibility
with which they are now endowned.
This series of articles is being written to enlighten the sUr
dent and enable him to know
who his student officers are.
Ted Allen, All-College presi
dent, has a background of polit
ical and other activities that well
qualify him for the present posi
tion which he holds. He was
president of his freshman class
at the Penn State Forestry
School at Mount Alto and was
again president of his class when
he came to the main campus as
a sophomore.
But there an interesting story
lies. Allen was affiliated with the
State party during his early po
litical career at college. When
he became a junior, however, he
changed his policies and switched
to the Lion party, was elected
on their ticket, and assumed his
role as president of All-College
Cabinet. He be-
came acquain
ed with t h
Cabinet and
functions
year when !
was vice-pre!
dent of the Pei

working with P.
S. C. A. this year as a member
at-large.
He took an active interest in
orientation when he came to
Penn State acting as chairman of
the men’s counselors in the Col
lege Orientation committee. Other

that this would cause less work
on everybody’s part.
Voting
4. To have the elections com
mittee'work on a better distribu
ted plan of voting. In other words,
during these elections, have vot
ing places in all of the schools
and a centrally located one in
the dorm area.
5. To enlarge the TUB so it
can handle more people at cam
pus mixers and other occasions.
6. To rearrange the seating at
New Beaver Field more to the
satisfaction of the students.'
7. To try to work with the dean
of women for the purpose of hav
ing more late permissions grant
ed to those freshmen who are in
extra-curricular activities.
8. To have better recreation
and social facilities for the men
in the dormitories, and to have
the athletic equipment there kept
at the PUB, and not scattered
throughout the dorms.
.9. To expand the Student
Work Agency so it can do a
better job serving the students,
and so that more students can
obtain work from it.
10. To continue to publicize the
need for a permanent Student
Union building. The plans for it
have already been drawn up.
Student TPress
11. To expedite the plan for the
creation of a student press.
12. To try to make sure that
the independent men living in the
dorms get rooms in the buildings
now being constructed on cam
pus.
13. To utilize the cooking fa
cilities in Atherton Hall for fresh
men girls.
14. To work with the administ
tration in creating better registra
tion procedures.
IS. To support the drive for
the expansion of the BX so it
will be able to fit the needs of
the students in a better way.
16. To work for a revival of the
traditions that Penn State seems
to have lost during the past few
years; such as the interclass riv
alry, the “hello spirit,” and basic
enthusiasm for the school. These
Ted Allen
activities of his include the Glee
Club, membership in the Ag-Ec
Club and Skull and Bones, and
serving through Cabinet on the
Student Welfare committee, the
Executive Council of the Alumni
Association, and the Athletic Ad
visory Board. '
Springdale is Allen’s home
town, and he belongs to Alpha
Zeta, a honorary, professional,
and social agriculture fraternity.
Although he started out with a
major in forestry, he has changed
over to agricultural economics
with the intention of doing agri
cultural co-operative manage
ment after graduation in June.
Music is Allen’s main interest
and he stated that he enjoys it
from all sides with the exception
of “hot jazz and bebop’’.
“Student government' is my
main obligation this year,” Allen
said, “and a great deal of my time
is going into it. Most of all I
would like to see a Student Union
building erected, as would the
majority of students, and I think
that a student government room
will be both helpful and ap
preciated. One innovation which
I feel would be of immeasurable
value to everyone is the setting
aside of two hours, one night a
week, for speakers, artists, series,
forums, and so fofth; and having
no meetings scheduled for that
time. “As it is,” Allen continued,
“everyone always has some place
to go and whenever something
worthwhile does come to the
College it never receives the at
tendance it should.”
