First Ballot
Freshmen and sophomores will get their first
of many chances to participate in Penn State
student government in the school council elec
tions today and tomorrow. Those who don't take
adVantage of their chance to vote for student
officers will have no gripes coming if later they
are not satisfied with student government.
ELECTIONS WILB BE HELD in seven of the
eight school councils for freshman and sopho
more representatives. These councils not only
deal with matters affecting the individual
schools—they also have one representative each
on All-College cabinet. Inasmuch as school
councils are more grass -roots in nature than any
of the other organizations represented on cab
inet, they provide students one of the best pos
sible means of making their opinions known to
cabinet.
Another chance to elect representatives will
be given freshmen and sophomores in the class
elections may appear to be only a warm-up
elections scheduled for Nov. 16. The council
for class elections, but actually they are just
as important. What is more, they have been
kept clear of party politics in the past.
Only about 30 per cent of the students eligible
have voted in council elections in recent years.
Last fall, however, in freshman and sophomore
class elections, the voting percentage was boos
ted to 56.7. We hope that this year new Penn
State students will point the way for upper
classmen by turning out larger masses of voters
for both council and class election?.
Taboo Lifted
Coed cheerleaders have returned. Saturday
they rode into Beaver field with the Lion and
the old-time taboo on their presence took it on
the lam.
IT WAS ANNOUNCED this week that these
female cheerleaders will be with us at the re
maining games this Fall. We can anticipate ad
ditional color and spirit when the Nittany team
face future opponents.
It has not been stated, however, that girl
cheerleaders are now a permanent fixture at
athletic events. Steps to see that they are re
tained in future seasons should be taken.
Perhaps the taboo has been lifted only on a
trial basis. If that is the case, we are certain that
the girls will continue to demonstrate, as they
did Saturday, their great value in building Penn
State enthusiasm.
It May Be Coincidence, But . . .
We notice that all but one member of the
committee appointed to select campus person
alities for Who's Who among Students in Ameri
can Universities and Colleges were included in
the list of personalities released recently. The
other committee member was a junior and,
therefore, not eligible to be included.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Confused Polities
An editorial item which is obviously erroneous
has come to our attention from the columns of
the Tyrone Herald.
DAYON KNIGHT, a local columnist, speak
ing of Arthur H. Reede, Democratic candidate
for Congress, wrote "The Penn State Collegian
sure pans Hal. But he asked - for it. And you
can't kid a bunch of• College boys."
Now, the Daily Collegian has never panned
Reede. Since he announced his candidacy last
Spring, .several news stories have appeared
dealina l' with both Reede and his opponent,
James E. Van Zandt. But it would take a wild
imagination to interpret any of these stories,
or an editorial comparing a speech by Reede to
President Eisenhower's inaugural address, as
detrimental to Reede.
VAN ZANDT has also been mentioned in news
stories but in a completely non-partisan way.
Now assuming that Knight is correct when he
says you can't fool a bunch of college boys, it
seems to us that his political opinions 'must be
rather confused. Which college boys can't be
fooled isn't quite clear to us—since like other
people they seldom agree on congressional can
didates.
AND DOES KNIGHT, whose column is diS
tinguished mainly by a conversational vernacu
lar which induces a talked-down-to feeling, take
his opinions from college students? Obviously
he does not. Therefore, he must hale used the
example only to find a reason for his readers
and himself to be "still with Jimmy."
However, we suggest that Knight read the
Daily Collegian before he generalizes about its
contents. For intentionally or not, he has added
by his inaccuracy to the disrepute of an already
disreputable campaign.
