Fresh Begin Role In Campus Polities Tomorrow and Friday freshmen in six schools will have their first chance to take an active part in campus politics. On these two days elections of first semester freshmen for seats on the school student councils will be held. All too often, unfortunately, the importance of the school councils is overlooked, and ballot ing for council representatives is discouragingly poor. The votes the frosh cast in these elections will give them, indirectly, another voice on All- College Cabinet. In fact, the councils are per haps the most direct means of conveying stu dent opinion to cabinet. The students who make up the councils have more chance to min gle with the general student body than do the class and All-College officers and thus" can often get a better pulse-reading of student feeling. In addition to this, $l5OO has been set aside in this year's cabinet budget for distribution to school councils. The councils may use this money in any way they see fit. Freshmen should appreciate their chance to have some thing to say about how this money is spent. The councils also act as an important go-be tween for students and faculty. The job of creating better student-faculty relations lies chiefly with them. The councils also keep up close contacts with the deans of the various schools, and from these contacts can come policies affecting many students. The freshman class has also shown a great deal of school spirit in its seven weeks on campus. Now is a good time for the frosh to get interested in their student government by easting their votes in the council elections, it is to be hoped that this interest carries through to their senior year. Fraternity Side Of Frosh Situation A letter was published in “Safety Valve” a few weeks ago expressing the sentiments of a freshman woman in regard to the rule pro hibiting freshman women from entering frat ernity houses. This issue has been batted around for a long time with many points of view being expressed, but one that has failed to be considered is that of the fraternity man himself. _A fair percentage of men in each house will probably date freshman women at one time or another. These men have the advan tage of belonging to an organization which sponsors social affairs. This advantage is turned into a disadvantage when they date freshmen. Social assessments, either paid outright or added to house bills, must be paid whether or not the social affairs of the house are attended. Thus, the fraternity man must spend double the amount of money for a date if he dates a freshman woman and is forced to take her somewhere other than the house function. Un der the rules as they stand today, dating a freshman woman is definitely a disadvantage. This situation is neither fair to the men nor to the women. _ Fraternity men take pride in their respec tive houses. They want to create an atmo sphere'that is warm, friendly, and completely above board. They do not want their houses to be tabbed "dens of iniquity," and conse quently, for the most part, they act accord ingly. If a slightly questionable situation should exist, the IFC control board takes immediate disciplinary action to uphold fraternity stan dards. This control does not exist in a car parked at Whipple’s Dam, a possible result of a lack of places to go. A control is present in fraternities, which are under College aus pices, in contrast to lack of control outside College limits. A fraternity house is home away from home to the fraternity man. There exists in this home the some connotations of home conduct that have existed in the home in which he has been raised. Home is the place to bring a date—except, of course, if home happens to be at Penn State and your date happens to be a freshman woman. It would definitely be advantageous to all concerned if this narrow-minded restriction placed upon freshman women were lifted. —lrvin Weiner THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COBBEGE PENNSYLVANIA McCarthy Address Made GOP Shudder In a radio address Monday night Sen. Joseph McCarthy, Wisconsin’s witch- hunting junior senator, made what can probably be considered the most outrageous charge of his outrageous career. Senator' McCarthy said that Gov. Adlai Stevenson, the Democratic candidate for Presi dent, has given “aid to the Communist cause,” and that he is “part and parcel” of the “Ache son-Hiss-Lattimore group.” Undoubtedly most Republicans shuddered at the senator's smearing remarks. It is hard to see how they can possibly do the Repub lican Presidential candidate any good. They can possibly do a great deal of harm. General Eisenhower has endorsed Senator McCarthy for re-election. He has said that he and the senator have the same aims concerning Com munists in government, but their methods of getting rid of them are not the same. But the mere endorsement of a man who has brought upon himself the amount of criticism McCarthy has is a threat to Eisenhower's chances of victory next week. The harm has been done. There is little that Ike can do now to repair the damage. The least he can do, however, is to attack Mc- Carthy’s ill-considered charges. Many feel that the Republicans should de nounce McCarthy altogether. About this time last year Sen. James H. Duff of Pennsylvania said, in a speech at the New York Herald Tri bune Forum, that those who make sensational and reckless charges with neither the intention nor the ability to prove them are doing “the greatest possible disservice” to the United States. It seems quite obvious that McCarthy’s charges against Stevenson will never stand up. About the only thing that can be said for McCarthy is that, he has focused the public’s attention on the infiltration of communists into our governmental setup. The way in which he did it, however, is regrettable. Less than a week remains until Election Day. McCarthy’s reckless charges against Stevenson could possibly be enough to decide the vote in the Democrat’s favor unless Ike takes a defi nite, critical stand on the speech. The election race is now very close. A sudden shift from Ike to Adlai of the thousands of voters who cannot stomach McCarthyism could be fatal. The general should realize this and act accord ingly.

All students ted up with can didates whose mentality is “completely untutored” and whose vote luring promises on Korea “may have delayed an armistice now can jump on the bandwagon with a non-Communist, non-Socialist, non reactionary candidate. Wear a yel low button proudly.. Pogo may win yet! It's quite possible to enjoy the first month or _so of • the senior year in a blissful state of nonreality, reaping the bene fits of senior status—4o yard line seats, first choice at regis tration, etc.—and at the same time happily forgetting th at next year at this time papa's check won't be forthcoming. The, first inkling that all is not well and that graduation is not so far off comes with the an nouncement that senior pictures are in the taking. Although we have not yet had the pleasure of a sitting, from examination of other seniors’ proofs we have- a fair idea of what to expect. When we are finally. seated .in our white or plain colored blouse —no zebra stripes or jungle prints, please—the first- shot will un doubtedly show a stiff, postured set of the head, and a grim, tightly-closed mouth. We suffer from camera fright. This epitome of smug senior superiority we will rationalize -as “dignified.” The photographer, in a val iant effort to make us- relax, will jolly us up with, a few jokes. We will say "cheese" and try to make our leer convincing, knowing full well that friends will greet this one with "A smiling picture is very nice, but don't you think you'll get tired looking -at it?" We decide to refrain from tell ing them it never will see the/ light of day if we have anything to do about-it and prepare for the next try—an idealistic look about the eyes and parted lips antici pating a $2O a week job on a small-town rag. Three down and one to .go . . . it’s a tossup Between a look of resignation at being thrown out into the world and an insipid smirk. While sitting with eyes half-closed trying to make up our mind, the shutter will close for the last time. ~ If the. pictures aren't half bad they will solve the Christ mas shopping problem. If they are 75 per cent obnoxious we can always be a "senior without photograph" in the 1953 LaVie. Speaking of senior pictures, we wonder how many seniors would know where to go if they had any .questions about their pictures, ac tivity cards, etc. A staff , of senior boarders and WEDXMESUAY. OCTOBEK'29, 1952 111. mm It ijl^j X IH£ over 100 junior candidates work in a tiny room on the fourth floor of Old Main—4l2—from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Eight now they’re typing stacks of pink activities cards and proofreading . . . and proofreading .. and proofread ing. Proofing is a tedious job, but occasionally there's a good laugh. So far this year we have come across a male freshman class president. (The only mem bers of our class to be on cam pus the first year were wom en.) . . . several presidents of the same student councils . . . and a large number of Greek letter societies of which there is no record. It would seem that at the last minute a few.students regret their lack of activities and, rather than have a completely blank space under their names, make use of vivid imaginations. cards are checked, ho.wever, so we don’t advocate padding them. Anyway, if.there weren’t any little men on campus one of our favorite cartoonists wouldn’t have a character. Froth succeeded in finding only two Collegian slip-ups worthy of reprinting this month, so we’ll be nasty and pick out one from the home economics publication, “News and Views.” In a feature article on Dr. Dorothy Houghton, new assistant dean of the school, the writer says "Her winning smile and gra ciousness are a welcome addi tion to the faculty." Come to think of it, there are a few grouches on the staff of the M.R.S. degree school. Hamilton Discusses UN Korea Action United Nations action in. Kbrea. has been a great victory for, col lective security, Thomas Hamil ton, chief of the'UN bureau -of the New York Times, told/ .stu dents at the' journalism forum Monday.
