Election Leaflet Hurts Lion Party If you can believe some of the political in siders, one of the deciding factors in the All- College, senior, and junior class elections was a piece of publicity which could have' been looked at as a personal attack _upon James Worth, then a candidate for All-College presi dent and now president-elect. It would serve no purpose to go into the de tails of the leaflet. It is sufficient to say that, according to those who consider themselves informed, the leaflet had an effect contrary to its. intended purpose. Instead of winning voters away from Worth, it won voters for him. The leaflet proved costly to the Lion party. How big a part it played in the Lion defeat is open to speculation. In an election as close as this one was, however, it is quite possible that the leaflet could have played a vital role. Yet nobody with any responsibility in the Lion party seems to know just who was responsible for the publication bf the leaflet. If.the Lion leaders do know who is responsible, they have not been willing to say so up until now. '■ As we have noted previously, the election has taught more than a few lessons. This magic leaflet that has appeared from nowhere could also be made to serve a good purpose. Repetition of similar incidents could he • avoided in the future if the elections committee required the parties to label all printed material. Thus, in the past election a Lion party poster would have been labeled “Lion Party, Milton Bernstein, chairman.” Unscrupulous persons could easily, manage to get around such a regulation. But a relatively effective system for checking the authenticity of all political publicity could be worked out by the elections committee through an arrangement with local printing establishments' and the College office service department. The committee could ■ request the printing houses to require the identification of the spon sors- of all political propaganda and ask their cooperation toward the proper labeling of all such matter. The plan would not be foolproof, but. would certainly be an improvement over the present wide open set-up. Inside Stuff President Truman’s recent order establishing the Trytten plan as the law of the land has served to highlight the wisdom of President Eisenhower’s convocation warning against hasty action. At that time, President Eisenhower, in urging caution,stated the purpose of the present draft law was to aid the proper assignment of the nation’s manpower. • TRUMAN'S ORDER INDICATES that the nation’s leaders believe that'college students can best serve the nation by continuing their edu cation. On Jan. 17, however, it was President Eisenhower who said, “A man who waits for selective service procedures to assign him to the post of usefulness is no less patriotic than one who enlists now.” President Eisenhower indicated then that the government would change its policy to allow students to enlist in the service of their choice after receiving pre-induction notices: And soon after, the government did as Presi dent Eisenhower said it would. As events turned out. President Eisenhower was none theless prophetic with his warnings against hasty enlistment. Although the Trytten plan may be finally modified by Congress we are inclined to think that President Eisenhower’s accurate forecast was not all prophecy. We rather feel that the President’s words were based on an intimate knowledge of Washington, backgrounded against a lifetime of experience in public affairs. IN WORRIED TIMES such as these each passing week emphasizes the importance of President Eisenhower to Penn State and Penn State students. We are fortunate to have him here in the Nittany vale.

PENNSYLVANIA New Kind Of Grass Saying Campaign In view of the “Keep Off The Grass” cam paigns instigated each year at the College, a new sort of public service venture might be started called a “Keep Off Of Where The Grass Is Supposed To Be” campaign, especially in the West Dorm area. It is there, on the earthen courts between the dormitory buildings, that the grounds person nel are trying desperately -to grow grass and bushes to further enhance the beauty of the structures. However, careless and thoughtless residents and transients of the area are just as determined that nothing green shall show , its facS thereabouts. Ballplaying is the major difficulty involved, with the old practice of cutting corners getting an assist. Both are leaving their mark on the scene and should be discontinued. Earlier this spring, no one would be criticized for walking around on various plots of earth, for anyone who wanted to chance injury by roaming about through the rocks, dirt mounds, paper and broken bottles that graced the' land scape seemed welcome to do so. Now, however, the picture has changed, and the grounds around the West Dorms are being landscaped in striking fashion with shrubs, grass, and trees. Certainly the men in the West Dorms, want their grounds to be well-groomed, but no one would, ever guess it. -The West Dorm area is not the place for ball playing. If a man is a rabid enough ball fan to want to play the game under any circumstances, he can certainly find a more suitable location for his activities. Even if the participants could stay on the walks, which is practically impos sible, there remains the nuisance and hazard to people walking by. The men of the West Dorms must take their choice; a cultivated, well-kept environment for their living quarters, or the nondescript look of. a shanty town. Rita Is Back HOLLYWOOD, April 23 (JP)— Rita Hay worth has notified her studio that she’s .ready to report for work. I A Columbia studios spokesman said today that the actress, who abandoned her screen career to marry Moslem Prince Aly Khan, will come to Hollywood soon from New York where she is now visiting. Her husband is in Europe. Miss Hayworth was suspended two and a half years ago when she turned down a part in a western film. A few weeks later she married the prince and stayed in Europe. The studio said it has several screen proper ties ready for her and she can take her pick of the lot. An occurrence such as this would cause many to wonder whether being the wife of a prince is all it’s cracked up to be. ' A lot of women could have found a better excuse for marrying a prince than to avoid having to ride a horse. \ But Aly is probably a nice guy. Rita just wants to work for a while to keep in shape. Hollywood is always ready to accept a princess for a picture. She may even pick a west'ern. Gazette...

It’s seven days of rain to every day of sunshine. This schedule is, upset only by an oc casional windstorm or snowfall — except during skiing season. One of the big news stories last week, carried by all the wire services and included in the New York Times review of the week, was a fistfight be tween a couple of philosophy profs at Vassar. A backer of Herbert Spencer's survival of the fittest is said to have socked an exponent of Plato's good life governed by reason. Profs will be profs we always say.

APRIL 24, 1951 You Name It By HERBERT STEIN or merely a,popularity contest. I don’t know and judging by the fact that less than one out of every two students even voted, I. guess not many really care. The elections committee was, of course, right on the scene doing, its usual conscientious job. When I visited with several of its members on Wednesday, for instance, they were eagerly racing around in search of a fourth for bridge. I liked Captain Mark's quot able comment on the painting of the Lion shrine. "If we keep working qh the Lion like we have in the past," he said, "it won't be long before the thing is a kitty." I should like to add that if the vandals had only been a little more careful with their streaks of paint, we might have had a tiger. My landlady, I am happy to re port, has not been discouraged by my presence this year and is seek ing roomers for the summer and next fall. Not just anyone, how ever. You must fit the historical pattern. A number of my pred ecessors in this particular room, it turns out, were women who have each become mothers several times over. I keep telling her this does not necessarily indicate a significant trend.
