A three-pronged affair, the fire started about 12:30 p.m. and was brought under control about 11 p.m., Keefer said. Although no one was injured, he said the large crowds of spec tators interfered- with efforts of the fire-fighters. Several times some of the spectators had nar row escapes when they got be tween the back fires and the main spread of flames, he added. Keefer said strong winds made conditions extremely difficult in the area of which about one fourth is state game land. Property in the area was pro tected by the Alpha Fire Com pany which had been called out for that purpose. No property, was damaged.

Political Candidates State Similar Views Lion and State party candidates in the All-College elections have indicated similar, opinions on questions of campus interest ip ques tionnaires submitted to them by the Daily, Collegian. The Lion Party candidates, while agreeing in general on the questions, each submitted their own answers to the questionnaire. The State Party, on the other hand, submitted on sum mation of all the candidates’ opinions, Among the questions put to the candidates' was: "Do you think student government, funds, that is All-College Cabi net funds, should be used to help establish a student press?" In part, the State Party reply suggested that, with a revision of the All-College Cabinet and In terclass budgets, such a proposal “couid be used advantageously.” Lion Party candidate Robert Car ruthers (junior class vice presi dent) expressed the views of his party saying, “Since the press would directly benefit the stu dents and would represent them through a variety of student pub lications, these fluids should def initely be used to help establish a student press.” "What do you think you can do through student government to hasten the expansion of the College Health Service facili ties? Other than increasing the . physical capacity of the College. Health Service; are there any other improvements you • have in mind? If so, what?" Both parties expressed - their faith by pushing through All- College Cabinet, the Board of Trustees would be made to real ize the seriousness of the need for improved services, thus speed ing up action on the problem. The State Party also proposed that the dispensary be included in the infirmary to eliminate some of the present unnecessary difficulties. The Lion Party pre sented a plan similar to a State Party platform plank whereby a town doctor would be on 24-hour call in cases of emergency. "Do you believe that off-cam pus housing for men should be approved by the College, with the provision that students not be allowed to •1i v e in those dwellings not approved by the College? Explain. Do you have a definite program for ap proved off-campus housing?" Again both parties. agreed that such a dictatorial position should not be taken, but both favored some system whereby the stu dents would have an opportunity to judge the housing that, is available. Both parties presented similar plans for grading systems uiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiimiiiiimmiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiu | R.O.T.C.

"Would you favor a student fee. to help support a student radio station, or do you favor some other method of financ ing it?" Joan Lee, Lion Party candidate for All-College vice president, presented the views of her party saying, “Uptil such time that a student, radio station allows i re ception for -every student, I. do not feel there should be a student fee. Before student reception is possible, the financing could be from senior class gifts, the ad ministration, and All - College Qabinet funds.” 'The State Party, felt.,that no action on. the radio station should be taken “until the entire prob lem has been fully investigated in regards to cost, operation, up keep, and facilities.” The state ment also called for a report on “the present availability of . funds and the possibility of the provi sion of future funds from other possible sources.” "Do you- have any definite plans for continuing the inves tigation of the possibility of eliminating finals for eighth semester seniors?" The State Party reply: “In view of the fact that members of the Penn State athletic teams receive no financial compensation from student funds, we feel that con sequently no additional compen sation is warranted for the stu dent managers of the Penn State athletic teams.” All the Lion Party candidates considered that the honor, 'pres tige, and the expense-free trips the student managers receive is compensation enough. > The candidates for senior class offices of both parties were asked: “Do you have any definite plans for continuing’ the investigation of the possibility of,.eliminating finals for eighth semester sen iors?” Margaret Mayberry, Lion Party candidate for senior class secre tary treasures:, suggested that a system of optional exams be esr. tablished. The State Party said it aims toward the establishment of a Senate committee with vot ing student members to set up a system. Both parties agreed that further-investigation of the pro posal should be made.
