Facing .possible disruption for the second year in a row, the State’party will have the most at stake in the freshman and sopho more class elections. Last fall when things looked blackest, the State party was able to come; through with a clean sweep of these offices. But a set back- tomorrow, following their overwhelming defeat in the gen eral election last spring, could be the first portent of a crack-up. Campus politics since 1943, when party politics again entered the scene, has been one of shift ing parties with the weak dying out and new parties being form ed eventually to overcome the previous victors. Lasted Through Seven State party has lasted through seven - elections since the spring of 1947, which is just about a rec ord, and has won five of those seven. But in both of the last gen eral spring elections, the Lion party has- been able to sweep all offices, and a loss tomorrow could mean the State party might fol low other losing parties down the road to oblivion. A victory, however, would would serve to show that the State party still is in the running and expects to continue as a ma jor source of political activity on campus. Although the Lion party has won the last two spring elections, it has yet to win a fall ballpt-bat tle. A victory would not give the State party very much as far as All-College cabinet is concerned —only .two seats as against five for the Lions—but it would be of tremendous prestige value for the spring elections. Same Situation It is much the same situation as that which faced the State party last fall, when it appeared that the historical trend toward disso lution of defeated parties might be setting in. ' A State victory, however, might do little damage to the Lion par ty, which quite handily came back with a stunning victory in the spring after its defeat last fall. The old Campus-Key party, predecessor of the State party, ran through seven, elections be fore it collapsed. After a rather uncertain start, it won four elec tions, caused a shake-up in the Nittany party, and then down to defeat before the new Nittany- Independent group. However, the State party was formed immediately and handed two defeats to the N-I clique, which dropped out of existence. The Lion party then was formed and began its battle for power against the State clique. Both the old Key party and the Nittany party were forced to change their names and to-reor ganize, and a total of five parties have had to change their names or dissolve since 1943.

By PAUL POORMAN ices of the Community forum is audience that if the idea of promoting subversive activities behind the Iron Curtain could be accepted by this country and car ied out, Russia’s inner workings could be upset considerably. Otto stated that, despite U.S. armament, defense is not enough, and that the United States could take the counter-offensive against Russia. America has many poten tial allies behind the Iron Cur tain, and • these could be stirred up against the Soviet Union if Americans could get over their shocked feeling againSt doing it, he said. The archduke also said that there is a growing tension be tween Russian soldiers and the Communist party in Russia. In addition, Russia has been spend ing too much money on her mas sive armament program, and as a result, is somewhat economically unbalanced, he said. Otto, speaking on “World Dan ger Zones,” explained three main danger zones that he considered the worst. The first, and most dangerous, he said, is in’ south east Asia. Here, the huge rubber and tin deposits make thjs area of extreme importance to the world. The situations in Burma, India, and Siam are bad, the arch duke said, and if drastic steps are not taken, these countries could also become Russian satellites. Middle East The second danger zone is in the Middle East, Otto said. Iran and Iraq are needed for their oil, of which Russia does not have enough, and according to him Russia could, under terms of a “Friendship Treaty” with Iran, occupy the country unmolested if internal Iranian trouble devel ops. Now, the archduke contin ued, Russia is trying to see that such trouble does develop. The last main danger zone, and perhaps the third most important, is Europe, Otto saidi Any trouble there, under the terms of the At lantic pact, would mean immedi ate war between Russia and the United Staes.
