the platform and the exact word
ing of the planks was not avail
able.

President and Mrs. Milton S.
Eisenhower and their son, Milton
S. Jr., were the first to vote yes
terday at the West Central pre
cinct polls in the Alpha fire hall.
Milton`Jr. walked away with the
No. 1 ballot stub.

turns with the President's brother,

uncle and aunt of the Republican
vice-presidential candidate.
Dr. Nixon said he was voting
to have the constitutional rights ' '
of Americans restored in the
handling of government, claiming
that the President is now deter
mining which laws of Congress
he chooses to enforce.

did not "vote so much for Ike

ism in general and Harry Truman
in particular."
Pollock Council
Votes Down
AIM Proposal
Pollock Council last night voted
against the AIM Board of Control
proposal 10-2 with one abstension.
The majority f eeling of the
council was that a student judic
iary body was undesirable and
would give both the Dean of Men's
office an d student go ver n
ing bodies too much power over
students. Another reason given
was that such a setup would con
flict with powers already desig
nated to dormitory counselors.
The council also voted unani
mously against the McCoy seating
plan. General opinion, was that
the student body and ihe alumni
were both too big to be handled
simultaneously at Recreation Hall
events.
A complaint from Food Super
visor Bruce Robertson over the
theft of 500 sets of silverware was
placed before the council. This
and other problems between the
council's food committee and Rob
ertson will be brought up next
Tuesday when Robertson will ad
dress the group.
The Barons, Nittany-Pollock
social organization, will get a let
ter from the council asking for
action on social events.
William McCormick was voted
representative-at-large to the AIM
Board of Governors from the area.

LION PLATFORM
In the past the Lion Party has
provided for the interests and wel
fare of the students at Perin State.
It has been through the sincere
efforts of diligent and capable
student leaders to serve Penn
State and its student body that

pus has reached the height which
it attains today. It is now that the
Lion Party offers directly to you,
the freshmen and sophomores of
Pennsylvania State College, a
strong platform and capable can
didates to fulfill its aims. The

taken to attempt to improve the
facilities of the BX to handle all
students' needs, including text
books.
3. that a portion of
_Orientation
Week be set aside in order to teach
and . acquaint the new freshman
students with the working of and
the membership qualifications for
the extra-curricular activities here
at Penn State.
4. that since the Blue Band is
unable to attend indoor sporting
events at Rec Hall as a unit, there
should be established a voluntary
Pep Band for all basketball gaines.

dents will more fully understand
the student government of Penn
State, a program to educate the
freshmen as to the duties of their
elected class officers be instituted.
