Petition Asks To Let Voters Vote Four Penn State students will go before a committee of the legislature today to present the absentee voting petition signed by over 4500 Penn Staters in February. The petition, pushed by the National Stu dent Association and approved by All-College Cabinet (among other campus groups) urges the legislators to amend the constitution so as to faciliate voting by college students. Under the present setup, students away from home are virtually disenfranchised. It is often impossible—both from the standpoint of lime and expense—for the vast majority of students to go home and vote. Yet students are unable to vote under the present system unless they do go home. That true public sentiment is not felt unless the maximum number of eligible voters cast ballots is a truth that cannot be challenged. Nevertheless, the current law makes it impos sible for students to participate in elections. Particularly in these days it is more important than ever for young people to appreciate the values and responsibilities of democracy. Casting a ballot is one of those responsibili ties. The legislation is failing in its duty to the citizens of the state and the nation if if fails to heed the request of the -students. Today Is Froth Day So What? Today is Froth Day. So what? So today at every strategic location on campus Froth "salesmen" wilt waylay unsuspecting students, deftly din their hands in their victims' pockets and as painlessly as possible remove 25 cents. Paying 25 cents for Froth has never been very painless for us. Eight times a year since first coming here we have been shelling out 25 cents for Froth. The only reason we have continued to do so is because we knew that if Froth would not sell on its own, another assessment would be called for. Since Collegian operates in service to the student body, we feel it our duty to inform the students that Froth is selling under false pretenses: it claims io be a humor magazine. The value of Froth was critically essayed by a man high in the College administration when he delivered the rebuttal at the recent Gridiron banquet. The administrator told how he spent a morning looking through back issues of Froth for good examples of college humor. One Samuel Vaughan, who is bowing out as editor of Froth with this issue, prematurely rose to his feet and singularly, loudly, and rather foolishly applauded the administrator's words. The administrator continued: "Sad to say, I found none." Nothing further was heard from Vaughan. Vaughan is silent in this issue of Froth, but little Jeffrey, the editor's precocious offspring. shoots his little mouth off for the last time. The highspot of the issue, however, is a full-page view of a pregnant cow—taken from the rear. At first glance we had trouble making out what the spectacle was. We mistook it for one of the editors. Since it is a policy not to get personal in these columns, we shall re frain from naming names. If nothing else, the picture goes a long way to prove a point we• have tried to make for some time: the editors of Froth can't tell one end from another. In 1856, at the fifth meeting of the Board of Trustees, plans were submitted for the first two buildings of the College. The school building (Old Main) was designed by H. N. McAllister. The second building was a barn, designed by Frederick Watts. —History of Stile College E DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIX Safety Valve Charge Unfounded Remarks To The Editor: At the AIM election Wednesday night, a stu dent, Weston Tomlinson, made several com pletely unfounded and malicious remarks about political action on the part of several members of the Board of Governors. He was attending the meeting in no capacity other than an interested observer. But his spite ful charges, fallaciously based on confused thinking, were faithfully reported in the Col legian and damaged AIM in the eyes of the student body. Truth is the best defense against Tomlinson's slanderous comments; so we therefore will out line the true character of Wednesday's pro ceedings. I, Richard Klingensmith, dispute the claim that I had been approached and asked to vote for four "Lion candidates" in the AIM elec tion. I never made such a statement to anyone. Signed—Richard Klingensmith I, John Stoudt, did not at any time approach anyone about voting for a group of so-called "Lion candidates." In AIM, although it has long been apparent that a majority of the board has had leanings toward one campus political party or the other, no campaigning has to my knowledge, ever been done on a State or Lion party basis. Nor is it, or should it be, condoned. AIM is not a political body. Now, I was accused by one Weston Tomlinson of having approached him on a factional basis. This I did not do. He also stated, prior to the meeting, he had been informed that five of the seven voters representing the West Dorms had been instruc ted to vote for the four "Lion candidates." Yet, when asked during the discussion who his in formant was, he would give no answer. He could not answer because there was no truth to his allegations. Tomlinson disputed the right of Howard Sprankle to sit as Stanley Zimmerman's alter nate, claiming he was delegated as the alternate. The falsehood of this statement is borne out by Zimmerman. In conclusion, it is apparent from what has ben stated, if any politics was being played'at the AIM elections, it was not on the part of a "Lion bloc." It was being played to the hilt by one Weston Tomlinson. I, Stanley Zimmerman, had at no time in structed Tomlinson to appear at the AIM elec tions as my alternate. In fact, I had not even seen him until after the AIM meeting had be gun. At that time, I gave him no such instruc tions. Signed—Stanley Zimmerman Denies Statements TO THE EDITOR: This letter concerns the AIM election and is written to correct two incorrect statements made by the Collegian reporter who covered the AIM election, Wednesday night. First, I did not state that "five representatives from the West Dorm Council had been in structed to vote in a bloc." What I did say Was (quoting from the prepared copy which I read at the meeting) "I have been informed that five members representing the West Dormi tories have been instructed to vote as a bloc." These representatives did not include any of the regularly voting members of the West Dorm Council. They were either alternates or repre sentatives-at-large. The West Dorm Council has only four representatives on the Board of Governors, therefore, could not, as the reporter stated, have five votes. Secondly, I did not make any public statements concerning Richard Klingensmith, West Dorm Council treasurer. I state (again quoting from the prepared copy which I read at the meeting) that "I understand that another' regular voting member representing the West Dorms was also approached." When the reporter asked me in private who else had been approached, I told him he should question Klingensmith if he wanted further information. I wish to add that Klingensmith refused to have anything to do with the political clique. He ran for office and voted as an independent representative with out regard to petty party politics. —Weston Tomlinson Ed. Note—Although Tomlinson did not make what he calls a "public statement" concerning Richard Klingensmith, he did make the statement to a Collegian reporter. When a reporter, acting in his capacity as a reporter, is given information, he is free to use that information unless he and his infor mant agree that it shall not be used for pub lication.

AIM Elections (Continued from page one) at the AIM meeting last Wednes day. Weston Tomlinson had then said he was informed that repre sentatives of the West Dormi tories had been instructed to vote for four Lion party representa tives in a block. Neither Galati or Robert George, who supported the mo tion, were present at the AIM elections. Galati would not indicate the party he felt had influenced the election, but Tomlinson had made charges against the Lion party at the AIM meeting.
