Campus Politicos View
Frosh, Soph Elections
Both campus political parties, now getting their campaigns
ready for the Nov. 16 elections, will face much the same problems
they encountered last year in freshman and sophomore class elec
tions.
State party will meet at 7 p. rn. Sunday
Lion party will meet at the same time in 121
of preliminary campaign plans
and election of clique officers
probably will be main business
of the meetings.
The Lions, who swept to an
overwhelming victory in the all-
College elections last spring. will
be faced with. the problem of
holding ground gained in the last
two all-College elections. How
ever, a defeat this fall would not
do them as much damage as an
other Lion victory would do to
the State party.
Large Vote
Staters, who have won in the
last two fall elections, but have
not taken an all-College election
since spring of 1948, will be out
to roll up a large victory vote to
keep themselves in the n.inning
for the spring battle.

Church Clubs
Meet Sunday
A full program of Sunday night
programs have been planned by
the local Christian fellowships
for this week.
Wesley foundation (Methodist)
will have its regular supper meet
ing
at 5:30. Rev. G. A. Williams,
director of the foundation, will
address the service on "How. Is
Your Dress Suit?"
At The Lutheran Student asso
ciation which meets at 6:30 p.m.
Pastor Edwerth E. Korte will
open the question box and an
swer the questions students have
put in it regarding Christian
problems.
Th e Westminster foundation
(Presbyterian) will meet at 6:20
p.m. and have a "Music by Can
dlelight" program which will in
clude music by a quartet, a solo
ist, and piano solos.
The Roger Williams fellowship
of the Baptist church will meet
at 5 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
Guest speaker will be Mrs. Wal
ter Lingle, from Lemont, Pa., who
will describe the proceedings of
a United Nations seminar.
The United Student fellowship
of the Reformed church will meet
at 6:30 to hear a talk on "Boy and
Girl Relations on Campus."
What effect last year's tend
ency toward greater turnout at
the polls will have is an unknown
quantity. Before last year, only
about 30 per cent of those eligible
voted in student elections. En
thusiastic frosh and sophs pushed
the figure to 56.7 per cent last
fall and gave victory to the State
party by a considerable margin.
But a 42 per cent turnout handed
the Lions a tremendous margin in
the spring. '•
Another unknown quantity
will be the effect of the new ward
representation system of the
State party, which Clique Chair
man Harry Cover believes has
the most effective means of ac
quainting students with candi

Work Started On Resolution
*fter LeinbAch is Called In
Protesting the "no drinking" ban of the College last night, fra
ternity men summoned Interfraternity council President Harold
Leinbach before proposing a motion to take before IFC on the possi
bility of abolishing the ban.
The protest came up at the meeting of the social problem com
mittee of the fraternity workshop program.
Prof Opposes
Hort Woods
Parking Lot
"The only way for the College
to be sure of retaining its one
natural woodland is for Hort
woods to be declared inviolate
by the Board of Trustees," H. E.
Dickson, professor of fine arts,
told the Daily Collegian yester
day.
"Although present plans for a
parking lot there may or may not
be cancelled,, the College needs a
long range plan for its retention,
not just this year or the next,
but as long in the future as pos
sible," he said.
Student support for the woods
to remain untouched is evident,
he added.
A portion of Hort woods had
previously been staked out for
conversion into a parking lot.
Questioned yesterday concern
ing further plans of the College,
George W. Ebert, director of
physical plant, said that he could
"make no comment for publi
cation at this time."
S. K. Hostetter, assistant to the
president in charge of business',
and finance, was out of town and
could not be contacted for com
ment.

Bef or e the resolution was
drawn up, the Daily Collegian re
porter present was asked to leave.
Fraternities believe that they
are •"butting against a stone wall"
but are determined to get rid of
prohibition, members said.
Leinbach proposed that a reso
lution be drawn up and promised
action from IFC.
Must Act Through IFC
He told the committee that it
must act through IFC and not go
over its head, as some members
had suggested.
Pact that University of Penn
sylvania petitioned for and
brought about the return of
drinking to the campus was men
tioned.
It was also stated that if men
cannot drink in the open they will
drink on the sly.
Last summer the Co 11 eg e
banned drinking in fraternities
and other organizations and or
dered that all bars be removed.
The no drinking rule states that
"the Co-liege does not permit the
establishment of bars or their
maintenance in the residence or
headquarters of any fraternity,
rooming house, society Or other
student organizations and that all
existing facilities shall be, removed
by Sept. 10, 1950."
Discuss Pledge Training
At the Theta Xi house, another
gro u p discussed problems of
pledge training.
One fraternity man suggested
that a constructive hell week
should be established by the fra
ternities. He referred to the
Bellefonte hospital painting pro
ject undertaken last year.
Most of the group voiced an
opinion in favor of such a plan.
It was proposed that a central
agency should be set' up to gather
information on such projects.
The group split on the prob
lem of using paddles to keep pled
ges in line. James Davis, Phi Kap
pa Sigma, said paddles were used
