Campaigns Begin
With the furor of the national campaigns
and election just now dying down, the campus
will be coming alive today -with a new cam
paign. Admittedly not of the import of the
national election, the campus campaigns play
an important part in the lites of Penn State
students.
Today marks the beginning of the Lion and
State Party campaigns for freshman and soph
omore class offices. Although they may not
seem particularly important now, the results of
the elections, which will be held next Thurs
day, do mean something.
At stake in the election are two seats on
All-College Cabinet. Freshmen arid sophomores
should study both the candidates and their
platforms carefully, for their class presidents
can play an important part in student govern
ment.
Student government at Penn State is quite
a powerful force. Each member of that body
has an important position to fill. The choice
of those members should be made carefully.
Should PA Follow
Plays at Games
After listening to the excellent following of
the play by the Franklin Field announcer at
Saturday's game, a number of Penn State stu
dents have re-voiced a plea for some similar
system at Beaver Field.
It has been emphasized in the past that the
reason the Beaver Field public address system
is restricted to emergency announcements and
occasional scores, is that most spectators like
it that way.
This may be a supposition which is not true.
At least it should be interesting to canvass
the student body on the question. This ' the
Daily Collegian will do. Then if the predomi
nant opinion should lie for a more extensive
use of the public address system to report
the play—then perhaps a restricted play-by
play system could be instituted at Beaver
Field.
However, one thing which a play-by-play
man would have to overcome is being heard
above the noise of the crowd. Beaver Field's
loudspeaker system is not of the quality of
that at Franklin Field.
Student opinion on the suggestion, however
should be interesting.
Eisenhower Faces
Big and Tough Job
The American public has made its choice,
and has made it emphatically. Approximately
55 million voters went to the , polls Tuesday
and a sizeable majority of them felt it was
"time for a change."
Undoubtedly, the "time for a change" issue
was an important one in the campaign. Perhaps,
when the results are analyzed carefully it will
be shown that it was the most important issue.
The American public decided it had had
enough of Trumanism. It was tired of picking
up the newspaper every day and reading
about five per centers, fur coats, and deep
freezes. It was fed up with Communist agents
worming their way into the State Depart
ment. The handling of the Korean War was
another issue which influenced the public's
mind when it went to the polls. And there
were other issues too.
It wasn't Adlai Stevenson who was defeated
on Tuesday. Most Americans know he would
have made a good President. The defeat was
aimed at Harry Truman, for most of Steven
son's stands were based on Trumanism.
But the election is over, and for the next
few weeks all sorts of experts will be per
forming post-mortems. Gene ral Eisenhower
does not have an easy job ahead of him. He
faces probably the biggest and toughest job in
the world. Hei will need the backing and sup
port of the people of this country and he will
get it.
Eisenhower may make mistakes. He would
not be human otherwise. But the American
public can rest assured he will be doing
what he honestly believ.7s right for the most
people. No one can ask for more than that.

Safety Valve
:icCarthy Senses Danger
TO THE EDITOR: This is to inform you that
there are two Republicans who do not shudder
at any speech of Sen. Joseph , McCarthy. This
is not a statement condemning General Eisen
hower's methods of ridding our government of
Communists. As the possible future President
of the United States, his methods of carrying
out his aims may. be more cautious than that
of a senator's. It is far worse for a President
to commit himself to direct. charges than for
a senator to do likewise.
The fight against communism is not one of
prejudice to be dismissed with the methods of
foreign diplomacy, as our government seems
to do. Instead it must be attacked with vigor,
leaving no stone unturned. It is unfortunate
that our nation has reached the point where
a man is publicly degraded for attacking a na
tional enemy too vigorously.
Perhaps Senator McCarthy does overreach
himself at times, but he senses the danger. He
places the welfare of the nation above the scope
of petty politics and partyism. Communism is
unyielding in its effort to overthrow our way
of life, yet McCarthy is severely criticized for
his undaunted crusade against this evil power.

'ho Was on' the 50?
TO THE EDITOR: Recently a member of the
Athletic Association made a rather startling
statement, ,`Not everyone can get seats on the
fifty-yard line." My question is this: "Who of
the Penn State students• got seats on or even
near the fifty-yard line?"
At six-thirty in the morning of the first day
applications were accepted, I trotted down to
the post office to mail my letter. As a reward
for this diligent effort I received seats on the
minus eight-yard line in the first row of the
temporary bleachers. .
My chief gripe is that the Athletic Asso
ciation should have warned the students that
they would not be able to supply any seats
past the twenty. In the future I shall make
my applications for tickets through the op
posing team's office.

Despite the fact the Republicans have won the election, Presi
dent Truman will have the last laugh. For no matter how the new
administration attempts to cut expenses, HST already has a $77 bil
lion charge account against his successor.
Mr. Truman; it is estimated, entered the fiscal year of 1953' (July
-1, 1952) with an unexpended balance of $77.1 billion. This figure
. _
does not represent actual money;
but authority which Congress has
given to enter into future con
tracts for materials and services.
In addition to this, Congress. has
also authorized the President an
other $79.1 billion this year, while
income for the year will, come only
to an estimated $68.7 billion.
What this boils down to, then,
are bills amounting to over $77 .
billion which the new President
will have to pay. Much of this
money has gone into defense
appropriations. But the planes
and other equipment ordered
during this and the last fiscal
year will be delivered until '1954'
and 1955, and that's when Mr.,
Eisenhower will have to find the
money to pay them.
Dividing this ' $77 billion debt
between the fiscal years of 1954
and 1955 places an automatic
charge of $38.5 billion against the
taxpayers in each of those two
years. Add to this the $7.5 billion
fixed expenditures "(interest on
the national debt, etc.) which must
be met every year, and the, next
President will find himself sad
dled with expenses of $46 billion
before he even gets started.
Going on the assumption that
taxes will not be increased, a rev-j
enue of about $6B billion per year
Debaters to Vie
With Britishers
Two members of the Penn
State men's debate squad are pre
paring to take on a duo from the
combined British universities' de
bate team on the topic, Resolved:
That cooperation is a better pol
icy for western Europe than fed
eration, in the 19th annual inter
national debate.
The debate will start at 8 p.m.
tomorrow in 121 Sparks and is
open to the public.
Debating for the College will
be Jay Headly, manager of the
men's debate team, and David
Lewis, graduate student in arts
and letters.
The British team is composed
of Kenneth Dibben, a student at
the University College of South
ampton, and Ronald George Ev
ans, a student at the University
College of North Wales.

The Way
We See It
By DAVE PELLNITZ
in '54 and '55 will be realized.
This leaves our new President
with a budget of about $22 billion
per year to pay for running the
government. This will undoubted
ly be inadequate, since Mr. Tru;
man is currently spending about
$4O billion per year to run his ad
ministration.
• Where a'r e the additional
- funds going to come from? New
taxes, more bonds, or a bigger
national debt are the only an
swers. But take a look at the
national debt.
With Mr. Truman's estimated
$10.5• billion deficit this year; the
country will be $267,505,000,000 in
the red. This is mighty close to the
$275 billion statutory limit on the
country's' indebtedness. It is ap
parent that HST's charge account
will easily exceed this limitation.
Therefore, in, order to meet ex
penses, Eisenhower will either
have to raise taxes or ask Con
gress for permission to raise the
statutory limit. -
It is easy to imagine the cry
that will go up from the Demo
crats at this, and the voters will
undoubtedly think themselves be
trayed. It looks as though Mr.
Truman is getting out from under
just in time.
