Penn Ticket Plan
Is Fair Suggestion
Application blanks for tickets to the Penn
State-Penn football game are now available
at the Student Union office in Old. Main and
the Student Union desk -in the West Dorm
main lobby. A rather elaborte setup for obtain
ing tickets to the game has been put into effect
this year, and to many people it seems over
involved. On close observation, however, the
plan has many good points which in the long
run will be" beneficial to students.
The Athletic Association has learned a les
son since 1948, when Penn State last played
Penn. At that time, tickets were put on sale
at the AA office early in the morning. A line
of students began forming during the night.
-111 1 1 r' •"
campus to the Dutch Pantry (then Cooks Res
taurant).
Many students, after standing in line several
hours, found themselves unable to get tickets.
In addition, the interest in getting tickets raised
havoc with most classes held that day. It was
later discovered that many students who had
bought blocs of tickets were selling them at
outrageous prices to other students and to Penn
fans in Philadelphia, thereby' depriving Penn
Staters of attending the game.
In order to prevent a recurrence of this
trouble, the AA office, with the approval, of
the student members of the Athletic Advisry
Board, has worked out a plan designed to
give every student a more equal chance to
obtain tickets to the game. The plan is pur
posely rather complicated to discourage un
fair practices on the part of students.
Just how the plan works has been explained
before, but we feel it worthwhile to repeat the
major points in order to further clarify them.
I. Applicants may apply for only one ticket.
If a student wishes to take a non-student to
the game, he must find another student who
does not plan to attend the game arid get him
to sign an application. If a group of students
wishes to sit together, the applications should
be clipped together and sent in one batch to
the AA office.
2. Each application or group of applica
tions must be accompanied by a check or
money order covering the exact amount of
the tickets desired. Tickets are priced at $3.90
and $2.60. The checks or money orders are
to be made payable to the Penn State Ath
letic Association and must include the college
address of the student.
3. Applications will be accepted only by mail,
and priority will be established by postage can
cellations beginning at 6:30 a.m. Oct. 8 and
ending at 5 p.m. Oct. 9. No order received be
fore or after the times specified will be filled,
and no special delivery orders will be honored.
4. If necessary, the AA office reserves the
right to substitute tickets in - the available
price range, or to make all necessary refunds.
5. The actual tickets to the game will be dis
tributed at the AA ticket office windows -in
Old Main Oct. 23 and 24. Because the office
will be busy handling these, orders plus orders
for other sporting events, it is not anticipated
that there will be time to notify those students
whose orders could not be filled. It will be
necessary, therefore, for all applicants to check
with the office during these two days to see
if their orders have been taken care of.
In order that applications may be verified
at the time of ticket distribution, the appli
cants must present their AA books, properly
signed, before the tickets will be issued. A

In order to save tune, it is important , that all
AA books be properly signed on the back be
fore they are presented at the AA office. The
signatures on the books must correspond with
those on the applications.
In case all the student tickets are not taken,
faculty , and other non-students may apply at
the AA office for them.
The program is an elaborate one. It will
mean a great deal of extra work for the AA
office, and it will mean some inconvenience
to students. But in the long run it will give
every student an equal chance to get a ticet
to what promises to be one of the biggest games
of the season.
Safety Valve
Give Inkling a Chance
TO THE EDITOR: For two years now stu
dents at Penn State have noticed that infre
quently and at varying periods a mysterious
publication called Inkling' is seen resting
thoughtfully on barkers' stands throughout the
campus. For a few days some animated and
some lifeless people wave this "thing" in the
faces of apathetic students, and then Inkling
disappears and seems to go underground for
several months. In fact, after each issue most
people assume that Inkling has died a natural
death that is so common to literary magazines
at Penn State. But even now a new issue is
being planned for this fall semester. For this
reason let me explain a few things about this
controversial magazine.
Since its inception by the 1949-1950 Board
of Publications, two issues of Inkling have
appeared: one in the spring of 1951 and one
in the spring of 1952. The original intent of
the founders was to publish at least two issues
per year. And this would have been accom
plished last year but for the small matter
of money. Inkling has never been published
with the idea of realizing a profit on its
sale. However, its income must equal its op
erating expenses, and that is difficult to at
tain for a literary magazine whose only back
ing is moral support from a small group of
interested students.
There is yet one more point to be clarified.
Most students know that Inkling is some type
of literary production. The very mention of the
word "literary" in conjunction with anything
causes the majority of people at Penn State
to become dubious and sneeringly sarcastic of
that subject.
Inkling is literary in 'so far as it contains
creative writing.. Behind that subdued and re
served cover one can find short stories, poetry,
and feature articles. Inkling does not claim to
publish the best in student literature, but it
does attempt to include the best material that
is submitted.
Inkling is . a student and a faculty publi
cation. Students handle the actual production.
but several members of the faculty have acted
as advisers and contributors. To establish Ink
ling permanently as
. the outlet for creative
writing at the College, we need one thing
more than money—that is more support from
both students and faculty. We realize that a
magazine of this type does not appeal to every
student, but we do know that the percentage
of students and faculty interested in Inkling
is large enough to warrant its continued pub
lication.
All we ask is more active help from these
people and that Inkling be given a chance by
those people who have so far ignored and con
demned it. We ask this not for Inkling's staff
but in behalf of a school of more than 10,000
people, among whom are possibly the Herrung
ways and the Faulkners of tomorrow.

The Political) Scene
By MARSHALL 0. DONLEY
This is the second in a series of interpretive political articles
designed to inform the College student about the coming election,
Nov. 4, and the issues and personalities surrounding it. The series
is intended as a concise,- unbiased disCussion of vital facts on a
subject we feel should be stimulating and important to Penn
Staters.
(Your comments—in the form of letters to the Daily Collegian
—are welcomed, and the opinions stressed therein may be used
in the articles.)
Early in the campaign this year General Eisenhower and other
Republicans brought up the issue of Corruption in high places. Mink
coats, deep freezes, and other costly items were thrown into the
spotlight as GOP speakers and writers lay a barrage of implications
and accusations against the present administration,
And they had plenty of back
ground material for comments on
this issu e—Republican news
papers and some politicians had
been hitting the corruption angle
since 1950.' Democratic Sen. Estes
Kefauver of Tennessee helped
blast his own party by using the
issue, along with his work on
the Senate crime committee, as a
platform for his nomination. Per
haps that's why he didn't make it.
As the campaign for the can
didates got underway following
the conventlons, more and more
blasts agaihst the administra
tion's "scandal a day" reputation
were heard from Republicans.
It looked as though the GOP
had a good issue.
Then an entirely new light was
thrown on the issue when Eisen
hower's running mate, Sen. Rich
ard Nixon of California, was ac
cused of accepting more than $lB,-
000 in "slush fund" money.
The announcement of the fund
money brought clamors of sur
prise and indignation from the
American press. Even completely
Eisenhower-Re public an news
papers asked for Nixon's resig
nation and demanded full expla
nations
Typical is the comment of the
New York Herald Tribune, an in
dependent Republican paper
which is supporting the general.
"The proper course of Senator
Nixon . . . is to make a formal
offer 'of withdrawal fr o m the
ticket."
. The Democratic pr es s, of
course, was less timid in pre
senting its opinion of Nixon.
The New Mexican. of Santa Fe,
called the Republican efforts 'at
damning corruption a "subter
fuge to cover up the lack of a
real issue."
The New Mexican also said
" The mess in Washington' slogan
used so often in the campaign now
becomes `the mess in California.' "
The candidates on both sides
had sursprisingly little to say
about the Nixon question. Eisen
hower, who was on a whistle-stop
tour, appeared quieted by the
news but later issued a statement
fully supporting Nixon, whom he
described as an "honest man."
Nixon himself called the issue a
"typical leftist smear."
Governor Asllai Stevenson did
Tif URSDAY, OCTOBER 2, 195-
fACULTy CLLJS
2. The Corruption • issue
not ' jump on the Nixon business
avidly or immediately. He instead
left to President Harry Truman
the job of exploiting the issue.
Stevenson did, however, place his
own financial status open to the
public and suggested that other
candidates do likewise. . .
The President wasted few
words when he . jumped vigor
ously• into the campaign this
week. He immediately pounced
on the corruption issue, accus
ing the GOP of not really want
ing to g►t rid of corruption,
prefering to kick it around as
political football.
Speaking of Nixon, ' Truman
pointed out that the so-called
"slush fund" was not the whole
story.. The money he received,
said Truman, is not half as strange
as his voting record. _' '
Nixon's record in the Senate
shows that he did vote against
many measures which could be
considered "liberal." For example,
on public housing the passage of
which the real estate lobbies
fought—Nixon voted against the
President's request for more pub
lic housing.
Nixon supported the McCarran
Immigration Bill in the Senate,
helping to override Truman's
veto on the bill. The bill has been
described as a barrier in the:path
of persons wishing to become
American citizens and as a bill
that fosters the concept of "sec
ond-class citizenship." Nixon
voted for it.
In defense of the accusations
laid against him, Nixon came be
fore the American people on tele
vision and radio and laid the
story of his expenses before them.
He began the program by a series
of explanations and expense-bar
ings which may well add much to
the understanding of both parties'
candidates in the minds of the
voters.
