Complaints continue to be voiced over the unfair treatment accorded students in the dis tribution of seats for the Penn-Penn State foot ball game. The Athletic Association must have expected at least some protest oyer the very obvious discrimination against the students. Approximately 16,000 seats for the game wex-e allocated to the College by the University of Pennsylvania. These seats include the entire north stand section which runs the length of Franklin Field, plus a section of bleachers in the western end of the field behind the goal posts. There are few students, if any, who will quarrel with the alumni getting, seats from the 50-yard line east. They realize that the College has a responsibility to its alumni in cases like this. But the A A office has ap parently ignored the fact that today's stu dents are tomorrow's alumni. If the students are .given raw deals while in school, they are not going to be good alumni in terms of aiding the College. One of the chief complaints to be raised is that “athletic personnel and officials” were al lotted seats from the 40 to the 50 yard line in what should have been the student section. Just who are these “athletic personnel and offi cials” and why do they rate so many seats—the best seats at that? Next, the Blue Band is allocated seats in the student section, which is where it should be. Students do not complain about this. Nor do they object to members of the football team being able to purchase good seats for their family and friends. What they can’t under stand, however, is why ALL these players’ seats must be taken from the student section. The alumni are as interested in the players as the students and should be willing to share part of the burden of seating their followers. And finally come the students, stuck from the 28-yard line to the minus IS yard line and in the end zone bleachers. Perhaps even this wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that most of the 52.60 bleacher seals are better than many of the $3.90 seats which were foisted off on the students. The AA office figured that the potential alumni market outnumbered the student po tential by a ratio of nearly 5 to 1. This seems quite ridiculous since the total alumni of the College only numbers about 50.000 and cer tainly many, many thousands of these would have no desire or opportunity to see the game, while probably at least 65 to 70 per cent of the student body will be trying to get to the game. Nothing apparently can be done about the current situation except to begin now to guard against a similar occurrence in the future. It is a pretty sad commentary on a College A A office to have so many students dissatisfied with the tickets they received, especially when some students have written to the ticket office at Franklin Field and get seats on the 45-yard line. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Blood Drive Needs Support From You A goal of 300 pints of blood has been • set for the November blood drive at the College. This is less than half the amount of bldod do nated in the bloodmobile visit' to the College last year at this' time; The drive will take place Nov. 11 and 12, but the deadline for turning in pledge forms is Wednesday. Students between 18 and 21 are required to have a release form signed by their parents, and this form must be. turned in along with the pledge forms to 112 Old Main. Pledge forms and release blanks are available in that office. Since parents' signatures are required be fore students under 21 can donate, release blanks should be picked up before fhis week end, to assure meeting the Wednesday dead line. To date, only 14 students have pledged blood to the drive. The importance of blood plasma to the armed forces need not be emphasized. Students should realize the need and do their individual part to assure the drive’s success — to assure its success by pledging their one pint, of blood. Begin Voting Habit There are about 4500 undergraduate and graduate students of voting age on campus. Those who wish will be excused from classes Tuesday to return to their homes to vote. How many students will take advantage of the opportunity is not known. However, if the habit of voting is begun at the age of 21. chances of laxity developing later on will be greatly reduced. Excuse forms may be obtained at Student Union. To become legal excuses they must be signed by an election official. ' —T • G. Gazette Thursday, October 30 AIR FORCE HONOR GUARD, Class A uni form.

Worthal ever think of taking soiJie courses over in Fine Arts?" The Coming Election By CHUCK HENDERSON (This article is designed to present the main issues of the coming election to the voter so he will be able to make a meaning ful and effective choice when he votes. (It is our aim not to determine which is the better choice, but to merely present the two choices by an evaluation of the maun issues.) Foreign Policy The two main points of the foreign policy issue are aid to foreign countries .to help stem the flow of Communism and the containment policy in Korea. Governor Adlai E. Stevenson and'the Democratic party are tor more aid, both economic and' military, to all our anti-Commuist allies. They are also for the liberation of countries behind the Iron Curtain. Stevenson said that the Republicans talk out of both sides of their mouths—for example, the GOP is strongly • advocating cut ting foreign aid expenses and at the same time it charges the Dem ocrats with losing 600 million peo ple to Communism and says that it will prevent further loss. Just how, the GOP doesn’t say spe cifically. The Eisenhower forces on the other hand advocate more quali fied and more cautious economic aid to foreign countries. Answering the De mocratic charge of isolationism is Eisen hower’s statement that he is for freeing the Iron Curtain countries also, but he is for freeing them' by peaceful means. Taff, defending his voting rec ord against foreign aid bills ,and for foreign aid cuts, is not against foreign aid in general. Rather he is against allocating the huge sums that the Demo cratic administration has been allocating. On the positive side Taft voted for economic and military aid to Turkey and Greece in 1947 and he voted for the Marshall Plan in 1948. Republicans charged that the. Democratic administration was an administration of blunders. Eisen hower (1) blames the Korean .War on them and (2) pledges to stop THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30, 1952 By, Bibler 1181 rni n mP** '///// / ''>//' //// ® I // / / , the “tragic toll of American cas ualties in Korea.” • He would do this by-four points: 1. Adapting our foreign policy to a “cold war” strategy that is unified and coherent. 2. Recognizing that winning the cold war is the way to win -with out losing a man. 3. Realizing what we do here will affect other peoples. 4. Choosing a man of excep tional qualifications to handle the national psychological effort un der the chief .executive. Ike's specific foreign policy program would include provid ing a sound dollar by eliminat ing the deficit in the .national budget, restoring incentive to expand non-defense production by cutting, taxes and govern ment spending, and giving posi tive support and encouragement to new industry. We can do this, Ike. said, by stimulating re search, encouraging investment of capital at home and abroad, and- encouraging economic growth .throughout the free world.' Stevenson cites the Point IV program and makes the practical proposal that Point IV aid be ex (Continued on page five)
