PAGE TWELVE Leaders Clash Over Platforms Because of many of points disagreement between the two political parties, on platforms and principles, the Daily Collegian has made it possible for the clique chairmen of the parties to publish statements to the student body. Following are the pre-election statements of the party leaders: Lion Millon Bernstein, clique chair man, Lion party: “We feel that our platform re quires no defense. It is a broad statement of a program of work which can and will be carried out this year. Two points are worth noting: one, that no platform can do more than state ultimate ob jectives as its goal; and, two, that working through a committee is the most expedient method of establishing a goal. Where the State party’s plat form, is concerned, we agree that tiie students should not be assessed without their consent, but we wonder how the State party in tends to enact a law to this effect. Not only does the board of trustees have the final say on all recom mendations for assessments, but it can, at any time, assess the stu dents without cabinet’s recom mendation or the students’ ap proval. Should Have Consulted It seems to us that the State party should have consulted with WSGA or judicial before con sidering the third point in its platform. Coeds have every right to appear before Judicial before decisions are handed down, in every case. It so happens, how ever. that the girls have a hand book which they themselves pre pared, and in which all rules and penalties for their infractions are listed. They may, therefore, waive their right to a hearing and per mit their housemothers to inflict the stated penalty. Sorority Houses On the sorority house question, the glaring deficiencies of such a proposal at once become apparent. The U.S. government’s construc tion restrictions, the financial problem, the lack of sites for the houses—these are but a few of the reasons why we feel that an examination of the question is out of order at this time. We are not against sorority houses, but we wonder if either of the political parties would be in . existence by the time any action could be taken on such a proposal. And finally, we should like to inform the State party that there is a student member on the com mittee which is investigating the high cost of textbooks. Well qual ified to represent the student through his job as purchasing agent of the B-X, his name is Clair George. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGfc, PENNSYLVANIA State Murray Goldman, clique chair man. Stale parly: “In the past few years, political platforms at Penn State have been open to serious question. Promises have been made and not fulfilled. The State party is very aware of this situation (as is everyone who saw the truth in the Collegian editorial of April 11) and realizes that the only way to win and to remain in office is to make sin cere promises, and, if elected, to carry them out.” That statement is the preamble to the State party’s platform. It represents a new trend in campus politics and that is: results—not promises. Results From Slate But what results will appear if the State party is given your “go ahead”-sign this Wednesday and Thursday? First and foremost, a new law. will fae passed—a law requiring all student assessments to be put to referendum vote be fore the entire student body. We should have .had a chance to vote on the last two assessments made by All-College'cabinet—the State party will see to it that we are not denied that right in the future. The other points on our plat form are equally important, and equally deserving of your vote — an investigation into the high cost of books, sophomore repre sentation on Tribunal, and so on down the line to better student government. Candidates And what about candidates? The State party started looking early last fall for people to fill the best slate ever offered to the student body. We believe that we found it. Typical of this is Jim Worth, our candidate for All-College presi dent. Worth, an Air Corps vet eran has been active in both in dependent and fraternity affairs —a unique experience which makes him capable of represent ing all groups on campus. For these reasons, among many others, we urge you to realize that it is time for a change, a change to democratic student government, a change to the State party.
