Lend a Hand To School Councils Seven of the eight schools at the College are holding freshman and sophomore elections for representatives to their councils. But for the most part these two classes are missing the boat. Students continually complain about stu dent government. Here was a chance fo get a start in doing something about it. It is already too late to get in nominations but there is still time to vote for candidates of your choice. The poor turnout for nominations cannot be explained adequately. Perhaps freshman and sophomores just like to gripe. A thing to consider is the fact. that each student council is represented on All-College Cabinet. Each representative to a school coun cil has a definite voice in policies that the cabi net representative must vote for or against. When the polls closed yesterday a total of 30 out of 700 freshmen in liberal arts voted. An other interesting—but discouraging—note is that only two education nominations were made to fill the two vacancies in the council. The chance to get into the policy deciding is lost for,. another year, but the chance to elect eager, outstanding representatives is still here if you vote today. Election Returns Women's Student Government Association Senate is meeting tonight to decide whether election returns in women's elections should be released. It's time someone defended Senate's previous stand of not publishing the results. Making the returns public cannot possibly have any value except to make the candidate who wins feel triumphant, which winning the post has already done for her. And when voting is very close, students are apt to lose confidence in the candidate winning by a small margin. • Most students read election returns hurriedly and then forget them. The only people that they really matter to are the candidates them selves, and they may see them any time they Wish by contacting the presidents of the organ izations. Last year a poll of Women students showed that they did not want the returns published. Unless popular sentiment has reversed, there seems to be no need for their release. IFC Workshop, With a series of banquets tonight, the second annual Interfraternity Council Workshop will get under way. Eight separate group discussions will review topics of importance to fraternity men and fraternities. Those subjects which will come up for discussion are house administration, rush ing, scholarship, pledge training, finances, pub lic relations, social life, and house maintenance. There is hardly a fraternity house on this campus which does not stand to benefit from the information which will be made available at these discussions. The success of these dis at these discussions. The success of these dis- - cussion groups is necessarily measured by the amount of participation on the part of the fraternities. Radio Shows Members of the student body will have an opportunity to listen to a new program over WMAJ this evening. The program, sponsored by the Speech and Dramatic departments, and the relatively new Radio Guild, deserves the attention of -every one. It is the first of a series to be known as "Wednesday at 9." The series will be continued throughout the semester. The very important field of radio has long been neglected at Penn State, and since a - strong effort is being made this year to cor rect this wrong, it is important that the entire school lend its support to the project. The best support which you can give at the mo ment is to make it a point to listen to the orograms when they are presenied. Edward Shanken Business Mgr. —Bob Fraser —Ginger Opoczenski —AI Friedman THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE CCILEGE: PENNYLVASTA Sign Up Today . For Blood. Drive Only one person showed up for a meeting Monday night of the All-College Cabinet blood drive recruitment committee. The lone member appearing was chairman Millard Rehburg., It is with astonishment that we view the apparent apathy of this committee which has been entrusted with signing up of donors for Red Cross bloodmobile visit to the TUB. Nov. 13 and 14. The' group represents all major campus groups. Not onl should the committee be censured, but the student body as a whole has not shown any willingness to contribute blood for the bene fit of the United Nations forces- in Koi\ea. So far, only 80 persons have volunteered to donate blood, while at least 400 ,pints are needed from College students to fill the Red Cross quota. The recruitment committee has the main responsibility of contacting donors, but students wishing to give blood may sign pledges at the Student Union desks in Old Main, in the West Dorm lounge, the TUB, and 112 Old Main. Students have until Monday to sign and turn a pledge in for a blood donation. Let's at least . get our quota so that future drives don't by-pass Penn State as ungenerous and apathetic. • Students who haven't been contacted shou]d take the initiative and sign up themselves. And this should' be a reminder to the committee to get out .and do some hustling. We have five days to make this drive a success. If we reflect on the sacrifices our Gls are making on the bleak hills of "Heartbreak Ridge" or the barren wastes of the "Iron Triangle," we cannot help but see how easy it would be to sacrifice,one pint of blood which may save the life of a GI who has given his all. We've taken this blood, drive apathetically; we have five days to reverse this attitude. —Moylan Mills. Truman Is Subject Of Dirty Attacks The Truman administration has been sub ject in the past few years to a mounting barrage of criticism, much of it unjustified; from the press and radio in this country. The "crusade" has reached a peak certainly un equalled in this century, and seldom excelled even in the.wide-open campaigns of the 1800's. Four recent examples of even dirtier-than average slurs in print and ether might ibe cited for proof. First is the fabulously expensive ad vertising campaign being conducted by the Electric Light and Power Companies, in a con certed attack on such government electricity projects as TVA. TheSe projects have forced private power down to reasonable price levels. The campaign hit anew depth last week. A page advertisement in national magazines portrayed a solid-looking father with his arm draped around the shoulders of a soldier-son in full uniform.• The father asks the reader, "Who'd want to leave his children a socialistic USA?" - Even poorer taste is evinced by a cartoon pamphlet titled, "The Truman Administration," and containing a series of really savage cartoon attacks on the President, the secretary, of, state, and the administration generally. The cover features a captionless cartoon of a tiny Truman caricature nerched in a • chair of heroic propor tions, glowing faintly, and labeled, "The Presi dency." Still with the press, •there is a current best seller called; "Washington Confidential." Vio . lently anti-Negro, anti-Roosevelt, anti-Truman, and.pro-scandal, the book appears to be selling upon a combination of brass annd sheer filth unrivalled . by any previous documentary. The tipoff as to the authors' political intelligence comes when they label Holiday Magazine, pub lished by the extremely conservative Curtis Publishing Co. (Saturday Evening Post, Ladies' , Home Journal), "a fifty-cent pleader for leftist causes." Meanwhile, a subtle attack upon the govern ment is being felt in the airwaves. Outstand ing crusader in this field is Colonel Robert R. (Chicago Tribune) McCormick's Mutual Net work—the world's largest. Programs. are acquiring a more and more blatant anti- Democratic chant. The newscasts and com mentaries have showed the slant for some time, but of late dramatic shows have picked.. up the party line. The climax: Last Saturday the Shadow waged a battle for justice against a post-office supervisor! Crisis of the show came when the Shadow hurled the snarled epithet, "Bureaucrat!" at• the- hapless male factor. Gazette • • .

In case feelings for cats, beyond repair by all the king's horses and the American Feline Society, Inc. The collegiate experience also instills in the male a healthy fear of witches, and not just on Hallo ween, either. Notwithstanding all this, how ever, the American Feline So- Ciety, Inc., blithely propagan dizes on behalf of the cat—or rather, the Cat. College news papers have been receiving hand outs from the • group, shyly sug gesting that they might . profit by insertion of a National Cat Week page, "or even a section." The group, by the way, empha sizes its democracy. "This is i. not a breeder or fancier organitation. Its - chief concern is that of the common American short-h ai r type, frequently but erroneously referred •to as the 'alley cat.' " All' of which is reminiscent of the two black cats which got into •an argument one Hallo ween. As the battle was about to commence, one of than said to • the other; "Let's get one 'thing clear. Is this a fight to the finish ''.or the best three lives out of five?"
