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. '

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.

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.

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
