McCoy’s recent suggestion that student tick ets for Recreation Hall events be divided so that one-half the students would be assured of a seat at these events. Today we’d like to consider another of the dean’s suggestions con cerning Rec Hall seating. . This second suggestion offers a plan whereby a number of seats, arbitrarily set at 300, would be reserved for the use of faculty, alumni, and townspeople at Rec Hall contests. These seats would not necessarily be choice ones, and the tickets for them would have to be purchased. The plan has several obvious good points, but we feel _ there are dangers in it. On the credit side is the goodwill' toward the, stu dents and the College that could be built up among the groups benefiiiing hy the plan. Secondly, as has already been suggested, the move would lead to better student-faculty relationships. Most students will agree that it is certainly a shame that most faculty members have never been able to see our indoor athletic teams in action. In addition, the sale of the 300 seats would provide some income to offset the annual deficit incurred by the intercollegiate athletic program, al though it probably wouldn't even meet the salaries of the game officials. But while a certain amount of goodwill is being built up with the faculty, alumni, and townspeople, we must not overlook the ill will that may result from the student body. The students, after all, have paid an athletic fee which entitles them to attend all athletic events held on campus. If 300 students are eventually denied admission to Rec Hall because their seats have been resold to other people, then W m£ eel the plan is not a Particularly good one. Then, too, we must consider the effect that these reserved seats will have on the student body. We cannot help but feel that students will resent seats being saved right up until game time, perhaps even going empty, while they have had to arrive at Rec Hall an hour or more before game time in order to get a seat. Then, too, there is the problem of how to re serve these seats when throngs of students come pouring into the building. (A similar problem has arisen with the flashcard section at Beaver Field.) Should the plan eventually be put into ef fect, we think the wisest method to follow would be to warn the purchasers of the tickets that they'd have to get to Rec Hall early if they expected to get a seat. This would un doubtedly be hard for some of those people who would like to see the game, and perhaps considered unfairJby many of them. But the students have also, in effect, paid for their seals and yet are interested enough in the sport to get to Rec Hall before the seats are filled. In our opinion, the reserving of certain seals can only lead to misunderstanding and ill will. And, assuming the plan is put into effect, what assurance will be given that further at tempts to secure seats for relative “outsiders” will not be made? Is the present proposal merely the first in a series of moves designed to secure more and more “cash seats” in Rec Hall? Perhaps the good points of this suggestion Be Patient.... • Really good sandwiches are never slapped % together. Minutes you spend waiting are min- J utes spent filling your orders carefully.

PENNSYLVANIA outweigh the bad ones. It might be pointed out, however, that the All-College Cabinet subcom mittee on recreation at the Student Encamp ment turned down the proposal. Whatever the merits of Dean McCoy’s seating suggestions, , there . will be ample opportunity for them to he discussed and considered before they are brought before All-College Cabinet. Perhaps by then further benefits of the pro posals can be brought to light—perhaps addi tional arguments against the plans may emerge. In any case, the student body owes it to itself to carefully consider the suggestions and their ramifications. Motorcade Entries The deadline for entries in the competitive motorcade designed to portray the theme of Pennsylvania Week at Saturday’s Homecoming game is 5 p.m. today. But to date entries in the motorcade have been far below expectations. Only 18 have-been filed. Fraternities, which usually are quick to un dertake such projects, apparently have felt that their. individual lawn displays will be time consuming this week. However, applications have now reached the point where those who do not participate will be appearing in bad light before alumni who wilT be expecting to' see their house represented. Arthur Rosfeld, Interfraternity Council pres ? ident, has indicated that a fraternity which does not enter will stick out like a sore thumb. The parade is scheduled to move around the track shortly after 12:15 p.m. And it is hoped that more groups, independents, fraternities, and sororities alike, will enter, so that the motorcade will be a real spectacle in color depicting the week's ‘theme: "Pennsylvania U'efends Freedom."

John Sparkman, the Less-Known Candidate In the verbal violence of the political campaign this year, many figures have played important parts. The presidential candidates from both parties have been talkative, and on both sides a number of men—Truman, Taft, Tom Dewey, even John L. Lewis—have ex pressed noisy and frequent opinions before th§ American public. The Republican vice presiden tial candidate, Dick Nixon, had his share of publicity not too long ago when an $lB,OOO fund in his name was brought to the pub lic’s attention. But what about Senator John Sparkman of Ala bama, the Democratic .candidate for vice president? Sparkman has missed out. He has not caused any great scan dals, never was page one ma terial in the nation's press for any length of time. Are the Democrats hiding him? Sparkman was selected as Ste venson’s running mate, as a third alternate, after Vice President Barkley and Georgia’s Richard Russell were eliminated as choi ces. Sparkman was named for one main reason—he represented the South, and therefore his presence would be a type of- compromise with the deep Southerners, who showed signs of bolting the party. A less forceful, but equally effec tive compromise was made in the 1948 election year. 'There is little doubt that the Democratic Party recognizes'the potentials of the South, and Sparkman is their way of show ing the South ..they do so. The Rfepublicans realize that Sparkman is the civil rights coun terbalance in , .the,,'-. Democratic Party and, true to this knowledge, Ijave. attacked him on - his -civil rights “bias.”-’ - • ' Early this week the Republic can barrage of n a m e -: calling against Sparkman began.' Gov.

Dewey used his opportunity well, calling Sparkman a "white supremisi" and saying that he y/as campaigning on a "white supremacy" ballot. The New York Herald Tribune published a protest by Senator Sparkman in which he struck back at Dewey and at the same time denounced the Tribune for its play' of the jDewey speech,- tot which the paper had given a ban ner headline and considerable space. Sparkman said he was “shocked” at the- Tribune’s selection of Dewey’s speech, which, Spark man said, was not newsworthy. The Tribune has come out for Eisenhower and the Republican ticket. . Hitting Dewey, Sparkman said. "What I wish ‘to protest most strongly is Dewey's, per verted attempt to label me with the Ku Klux Klan." He- denied any affiliation with" the Klan and called Dewey's charge an "open smear." A few days after the New York governor’s speech and Sparkman’s consequent reply, Dick Nixon blasted away at Sparkman. Nixon, apparently taking his cue from Dewey, denounced the Alabaman on the same subject, civil rights. Nixon said that Sparkman'has been a lifetime foe of civil rights and that- the Democratic plat form’s planks on the subject will be “deader than a doornail” with Sparkman in office.
