FOR A BETTER PENN STATE By ROBERT LANDIS other candidates:,,one for Supreme one for Socialist Norman Thomas and one for the Prohibition Party. In answer to question seven on the poll, "Do you think you should remain neutral because of your poSition?" one reply was, "No, but I think President (Mil ton S.) - Eisenhower should." Hasn't Trimmed Sails Many of the replies sent back to the Collegian were emphatic in the reasons for their choice. Both sides listed, for the most part, that their reasons for vot ing for one or the other was based on the people backing the 'candidates. The pro-Republicans objected to Truman and the Dem ocrats objected to the Taft-Mc- Carthy-Jenner element in the Republican Party. Nearly all Eisenhower 'supporters agreed it was time for a change. An Adlai advocate wrote "I prefer Stevenson because he 'has not trimmed his sail to every lo cal wind; becatthe his chosen ad visors are men I respect; because he has not sought the support of unsavory Democrats such as Mc- Carran, Shiver, and Talmadge; because he has not promised to sweep all Republicans indiscrim inately out of the Federal govern ment; and because his discussion of the issues has , been on a high plane." Eisenhower Supporter An Ike man wrote a letter to the Collegian saying "I am glad to state my firm conviction that it is high time for a change in Washington. - And I will urge others to that Conclusion, not by weight of numbers, but by weight of"reason. Alas . ,_ there is too lit tle of reason in the sound and fury of recent days. The choice of party at this time is more im portant than , the candidate and any candidate should be judged by what - he said and did long before th e campaign. Current promises, claims and charges mean little." Another Eisenhower supporter said "Illinois loves Stvenson: make sure they don't lose him." One candidly remarked that Stevenson may be a better can didate, but since party issues are heavily involved the Republicans offer greater security for the im mediate future of the country. A pro-Stevenson faculty mem ber stated he felt it is rare whep truly great men run for the presi dency and that we should make the most use of one when he comes along. One bitterly remarked "I'll be glad when this election is over. I'm fed up with this campaign as it is now being conducted." Lion to Appear At Penn Game Despite Patches His suit will be patched with leather adhesive' and glue, but the Lion will make the trip to Penn this weekend. And, if the mending job holds up, the Lion will appear at the Rutgers home game and the Pitt game, Alex Gregal, who portrays the Lion, has announced. ' Recent contributions,to the Lion suit fund have brought the total to $579.53. A collection conducted by Nittany Council netted $41.45. Officers ,in 23 dormitories in the Nittany area made the collection. Gamma Phi Beta sorority donated $4.25 to the fund. Because neither the Athletic As sociation nor All-College Cabinet could supply money' for a new suit, a drive was initiated this fall_ by Gregal. Tottegiafi Court Justice William 0. Douglas, Tuesday Holiday For Voters Students eligible to vote Tues day will be excused from classes that day to return to their homes for that purpose. While indicating there was no way to know how many students would be returning to their homes, college officials pointed out that approximately. 4500 undergrad uates and graduate7students are of voting age. 'ln order to be excused from classes; the student must have an excuse form, available at the Stu dent Union desk in Old Main, signed by an election official at the polls. The student may pre sent this form to the instructor as . an excuse for his absence Nov. 4. ' Election laws in Pennsylvania state that "for the purpose of vot ing no persons shall be deemed to have gained a residence by rea son of his presence, or lost it by reason of his absence . . . while a student of any institution of learning . . ." Pennsylvania residents must re turn home to vote as the state has no civilian 'absentee provisions. Forty-two of the 48 states have such laws. Two years -ago the National Student, Association pe titioned the legislature for a civil ian absentee voting law. The legis lature took no action upon the measure.
