Action Comiiag on Goal Posts, Drinking Penn State moves slowly in many respects, but students and others who attend the next home football game will find that in some instances the College can act quickly. Drinking in Beaver Field and the repeated destruction of the goal posts have become a problem demanding prompt and strong action. A partial solution to the drinking problem was attempted Saturday when gatemen at the en trances to the field turned back students and others attempting to enter with cases of beer on their shoulders. An attempt was also made to prevent the unwarranted and costly destruction of the posts. The latter was a failure. Although the number of beer cases • enter ing Beaver Field Saturday was cut down, some cases were still in evidence. Some were tossed in over the fences. In one instance,' some students brought in the' contraband in a laundry case. (Why none of the gatemen bothered to inquire just why a student was bringing a laundry case into a football field we'll never quite be able to figure out.) In another instance, one enterprising indivi dual was seen wending his way through the student stands peddling the stuff. In several instances students were still being carried from the field drunk. The College has made a good start by stop ping beer-laden persons at the gates. The next move is to follow up and remove from the field those who do manage to get by the gates with cases of beer. Al the same time, there is no reason why students who become intoxicated to the point that they have to be carried from the field by friends should be dealt with. A suggestion how this latter problem might be handled is for the Campus Patrol to get the names of these stu dents and turn them over to Tribunal. What can be done to prevent further recur rence of the destruction of the goalposts is a problem that is also coming in for some deep consideration. In addition to the practice being costly to the student body ($75 a pair), the practice is dangerous from a safety, point of view. Many of the persons involved in Saturday's affair were not College students, but high school and grade school students; and townspeople. The next step is to devise some method to discourage the practice. It has been suggested that the goalposts be painted between the halfs and that fire hose be on hand at the conclusion of the game. We frankly think that anyone who would brave the blast of a fire hose to get at a freshly painted goalpost is welcome to -the darn piece of -wood. THE' DAILY COLLEGIAN: STATE *COLLEGE. ' PENNSYLVANYA Points to be Noted By WSGA Senatckrs Tomorrow night the WSGA Senate will meet to decide whether the returns of elections con ducted under its auspices should be -released for publication. Tonight many house meetings will be held to discuss the same question. In the meantime, WSGA has conducted a poll to gather the opinion of women on the issue. We have no idea what the outcome of all this - will be, but we think that several things should be known by the women before they decide how they will vote on.this issue. The principal argument against releasing the votes is that the feelings of the losing candi dates will be hurt if they happen to -lose -by an unusually large Vote. This may have been true years ago when WSGA had to run • about rounding up girls to run in elections. - But since then the entire sit uation has changed. Candidates now nominate themselves, so WSGA does not go around chasing for candidates and is not, in the posi tion of holding back votes in order to save em barrassment for hand-picked candidates. Under the present regulations, candidates may now look at the election returns. If the candi dates may look at the returns, then others will also know the figures—and there is no guar antee that •information released in this •way will be accurate. The official release of the re turns would' erase the possibility of rumors hurting candidates. • In addition, women now run in All-College and class elections, in which the returns are released. We have never heard of any of them being hurt by the release of these returns. Above and beyond all of these reasons ,and others which might be presented for releasing these figures is the basic democratic principle that the results of all popular elections are public property. All these factors should be considered before-- the women make their next move in the current squabble. Gazette . . .
