No Real Issues Platforms adopted by the State and Lion parties for the frosh and soph class elections next Thursday should scare no one out of his wits. Except for a few planks, major portions of the platform are innocuous. SOME OF THE PROPOSALS, however, have merit to them and should be given consideration. Nevertheless, none of the planks are highly con troversial or scandalous. The plank which probably will raise the most controversy is the Lion proposal toward opening the PUB as a lounge where women may be entertained on weekends. Our guess is that a good many College officials will look askance at it. ... Because of inertia, the State party plank fav oring sophomore representation on Tribunal and Judicial might run into some opposition. Good arguments can be raised both for and against the proposal, which is one of the few planks really of concern to one of the glasses involved in the election. SOME CONTROVERSY also might he raised by the Lion proposal to allow DIR students to vote in student council elections, and the State plank favoring more telephones for women’s dorm lobbies will encounter difficulties. But; on the whole, the planks are not the kind that will cause anyone to run wildly down the Mall tear ing his hair. Neither parfy seems to have explored very deeply the possibilities of developing issues on which a real campaign could be waged. Ap parently there will be no real choice between parties on the basis of issues supported, and voters will have to choose candidates on the basis of personality. Unfortunately, the candidates are new to the Penn State campus and probably are not as well known to their constituents as they might be. Rousing Start In choosing Dorothy Sarnoff to kick off its series of five concerts, the Community Concert association made a wise selection, as the loud and continuous applause which followed her numbers should have made plain to all who heard the young soprano in Schwab auditorium Wednesday night. MISS SARNOFF had beauty, poise, presence of mind, a sense of humor, and stunning appeal —and, incidentally, a dam good voice. The five encores the audience demanded of her gave un mistakable. evidence that every listener was pleased immensely. If the remaining four concerts are as excel lent, the Community Concert series, with its re vival of good music on the Penn State campus, is off to a rousing success. ' NOW!

Big News And Crooked Nose TO THE EDITOR: The recent “Ag Hill party,” ope of the high points of the year for th.e Agri culture school, with an attendance in excess of 1200 persons in Rec. hall received the barest min imum of a “story” (Bth page) in Tuesday’s Colle gian. Oddly enough the greatest percentage of the- news was accurate—unusual to say the least. On October 28 and 29 the Horticulture club held its 37th annual “Hort Show” with a meager 16,000 persons attending only two or three times greater than any other event presented by any other club on campus: The Collegian so ably printed this front page story on the second page where the jokes usually appear. If your two-bit, social scandal sheet, mouth piece for the English and Journalism depart ments would look beyond its crooked nose, it might see what is directly in front of it—big news on campus. • Letter Cut Ed. note —ln view of Collegian's space problem, we are forced to consider pre-stories more important than post-stories, except in those instances where significant news has de veloped. Petty Larceny On Campus TO THE EDITOR: True character is that con duct an individual will show, through thick and thin. It is best tested by the actions of a person when he will be unobserved. . I am referring to the unscrupulous, slinky, low type of petty larceny that exists on the part of some students at State College. It is becoming not at all unusual for a student to leave a class and find his clothes or books missing. If you want to be a thief —why not do it right? Petty larceny is a scurrilous type of crime. It causes a smell which is hard to ventilate. Letter Cut Gazette...

Post-Ballot Punditry Political pundits, even as unpracticed as this one, were jumping over each other this week trying to diagnose Tuesday’s elections probable effects on the 1952 presidency. DEMOCRATIC PARTY-LINERS looking forward to 1952,' that is those who could still see after nicking themselves off the floor, seem to have adopted a campaign song of, “We ain’t got nobody.” President Truman still looms as the likeliest candidate in the shredded ranks of the fair deal. Other possibilities such as Richard son Dilworth, here in Pennsylvania, have been pushed back into obscurity, in this instance by Dilworth's inability to defeat Judge Fine, who was never considered a strong candidate. Bids of others near the top in the Democratic hierachy have also been nullified by individual lickings sustained in this election. The Senate majority leader, Scott Lucas. Illinois, and majority whip, Francis J- Myers, Pennsylvania, are both looking for new jobs-today along with other colleagues such as Millard Tydings, Maryland. Only Herbert Lehman still appears strong, having retained his Senate seat in the imoortant electoral vote, state of New York. REPUBLICANS. ON THE OTHER HAND, are faced with exactly the opposite problem. Candidates are popping from every bush. Big wig Republicans are crooning the old World War I tune, “How you gonna’ keep ’em down in the ranks after they’ve seen the Senate? Many Republicans may have hoped lo eliminate several possi bilities in the Tuesday voting, but nothing of the sort developed. Senator Taft. Ohio, can give the hee-haw to his discreditors after his smashing victory, as can Governor Dewey in New York. Hardly to be overlooked are Governor Warren, after a rousing victory in California, and Governor Duff, soon to be a Senator from Pennsylvania. Then too, no summary could overlook General Eisen hower, though'he is here today and in-Western Europe tomorrow.- And of course there is the worthy gentleman from over the moun tains, Harold Stassen, who has been knocking on every door to per suade people to let him throw his hat, coat and shirt into the political ring. Maybe the Republicans will need that hat, to pick a candidate from FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 10. 1950 (-\ r T^ 7 'hVx* By Bibler V-'-* Herbert Stein
