Today, freshmen and sophomores will go to the class polls to elect or reject the candidates of either party. One of the outstanding features of Penn State student government is the two party system established here in an attempt to generate more interest. To some extent the attempt has suc ceeded. Though student interest in their own govern- Ment is not one hundred per cent, it is at a higher figure than it has been in recent years. There r is, however, a drawback to the two party system of which we are proud. The den ger lies behind the fact that in the competi tion betieeen parties for candidates, the best • men and women are often 'split; with neither political faction getting a clean sweep. - For the betterment of the groups for which you are voting, it often behooves the thinking voter to split his or her ticket. In spite of the ballyhoo offered by campaign posters, the fresh man and sophomore classes would probably be run efficiently by some candidates from both •parties; The important thing for the voter, in the event he should be voting for the best candidates ra ther than the party, is to learn something about the office-seekers. Admittedly these people, will not only be leaders of your class this year, but they will be prominent in class activities in future years. The training they will get as freshman and sophomore Officers will aid _them a geat deal in, the next two or three years. So be careful in their selection. The party they are running with is not the prime consideration. There are few who. can 'aigue that a split ticket could be of the best service to you and your cass. Gazette . .

Make room Safety Valve-- Charges Collegian Writer With Insipid Generalizations TO ' THE EDITOR: Is it time to drop party platforms? Although I 'must admit when I first saw the editorial heading I was in doubt. I read it with interest, hoping it would shed a new light on a problem as old as student government itself. However, it seems that Mr. Mills has managed. to spend about half his time spelling out insipid generalizations and falling into the error which he himself mentioned, of criticizing but offering no constructive suggestions. If it weren't that I know all Collegian writers are unbiased, I would say he merely seemed to be dragging the Lion Party platform down to where the State Party platform is resting this semester. Let's take several of his criticisms and examine them. First he declares that not one plank in the platform concerns students, especially fresh men and sophomores. It may be of interest to him that - this platform was drawn up by a com mittee of 25 interested sophs and frosh who felt that these were important issues affecting, them. Take the issue of permanent resident counselors for women; this was aimed primarily at Thompson Hall where freshman women do not have the opportunity to go directly to upper class women for guidance but must rely on housemothers. Then there is the attack on the student gov ernment planks of the Lion Party. Most all student government leaders feel that working Up interest in student government is the one sure way to increase participation and thusly increase the issues of debate. This is the reason for Lion support of increased publicity and explanation• of student government. The need for customs revision is admitted by all; the definite plan is being worked on by many 'groups. Maybe the State Party officials have completed plans for a new school of busi ness? Finally the Lion Party definitely believes there are freshman men who should be re warded with inclusion in a sophomore hat society. Certainly not as many candidates will be available as for senior societies, but enough to merit the reward. In summary then we of the Lion Party de finitely feel that platforms are an important part of student government. The Lion Party in the past and the State Party of last spring have both attempted to put party promises into ac tion through All-College cabinet. Finally Mr. Mills call's for real debatable is sues well this year he has one. Whether the students want a practical, workable and sen sible platform or one based on impossible gen eralizations and minor details.

These grants are the Roo t- Tilden scholarships which were first offered last year, They have been hailed ds• the American equivalent of the English Rhodes Scholarships, and are given to men "with keen intelligence, in tegrity, and a zest for public service." The amount of the scholarships is $2lOO a year. There are 20 scholarships a year available, two for each of the ten federal judicial circuits. Grades, extra-curricular activities, and a potential for "unselfish public leadership" are the bases upon which students will be selected. Almost any top-ranking senior man may apply for the Root- Tilden Scholarships if he is be tween the ages of 20 and 28 ant.: is a citizen of the United States. Application should be made to the Dean of the Law School, New York University Law Cent er, Washington Square, New York.
