The State Party, conceived up
on the principles of service to you,
the students of Penn State, now
■offers you the opportunity to
elect sincere and competent stu
dents, who, with your continued
cooperation and support, will en
able us to preserve student gov
ernment.
In order to fulfill this respon
sibility we pledge to investigate
fully and take all steps necessary
to accomplish the fulfillment of
the following proposals:
1. To work for the establish
ment of a student press to print
campus publications.
2. To hasten the expansion of
the facilities of the College hospi
tal in order to insure a more
adequate health service.
3. To conclude an agreement
with town doctors to provide for
house calls to dormitories and

School Council
Election Dates
Set by Board
. Student council elections will
be held in all schools except Agri
culture and Engineering April 28,
29 and 30 the Interstudent Coun
cil Board decided at a meeting
recently.
Edward Shanken, board presi
dent, said that nominations will
be made between April 21 and 25.
Shanken said that the Engin
eering Council election will be
held on April 28 and 29. The
Agriculture council will be chosen
by the various student organiza
tions in the School of Agriculture.
The council rejected a proposal
of Donald Herbein that the school
council elections be held at the
same time as the All-College elec
tions. Most of the board members
felt that it would involve the
councils in politics and a better
student response within -each
school could be attained if the
elections were held separately.
The council also decided to ask
the inter-class finance committee
for $5O in the new All-College
budget. Shanken said the money
would be used to coordinate the
work of the various student
councils. ,

A revised academic, calendar
for 1953-54 is also on the Senate
agenda. At its last meeting, ' a
month ago, the Senate refused to
accept the calendar committee’s
recommendation because of the
lack of sufficient time between
final examinations and spring
registration.

of the committee, said yesterday
that his committee will be pre
pared to present a revised calen
dar at today’s meeting.
No action is expected on the
plan to increase normal gradu

Senate two months ago and at
the last Senate meeting early in
