Mixed Recreation Begins at Rec Hall A new series of mixed recreational activities begins tomorrow in Recreation Hall. Under the new plan set up by Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, Rec Hall will be open to both men and women from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Badminton, ping-pong, miniature soccer, shuffleboard, volleyball, and table games are planned for the period. And at 8:15 p.m. George W. Harvey will 'present a special fly-casting exhibition. This is one of a number of ideas set forth by Dean McCoy designed to improve the over all recreation program of the College. It is the first of those ideas to be tried. We think it an excellent example of College interest in student affairs. It should help solve the important need for Sunday evening activities. We only hope Dean McCoy gives the co recreation plan a fair chance to catch on with the student body. If given that chance, we think it can very easily be made successful. However. D.e a n McCoy has several other ideas in mind also. Included are more and better facilities for recreation in the Nittany-Pollock area, the expansion of facilities around Beaver Field, and the holding of dances in Rec Hall after basketball games and other sports activi ties. These ideas could very easily .be mistaken for planks in a student political platform, but they instead have come as suggestions from the College through Dean- McCoy. All too often it appears we accept such changes of direct benefit to students without the least consideration from whence they came. . We hope to remedy this and, at the same time, add emphasis to a program of definite student benefit. It starts tomorrow and will re quire only interest on the part of students to make it sticcessful. "I cannot see that lectures can do so much good as reading the books from which the lec tures are taken."—Johnson —Jim Gromiller THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA New Class Officers Must, Prove Worth The campus political campaigns are over for the time being. The newly elected freshman and sophomore class officers will be sworn into office at the next All-College Cabinet meeting. Students have undoubtedly acted wisely in splitting their votes. With representatives of both parties gaining cabinet seats, work can be started on putting both party platforms into effect. The biggest disappointment of the campaign was the poor voter turnout. While the per centages were higher than last fall, they were far from the high figures of the 1950 cam paign. One possible reason for the poor turn out could be that students were pretty tired of politics by the time the campus elections rolled around, coming as they did on the heels of the national election. • Another reason is that students still have not come to realize the importance of student gov ernment at Penn State. The poor showing can also be correlated to the fact that all too many eligible voters in a national election neglect casting their ballots. It will be up to the newly-elected men and women to prove their worth and to prove the worth of student government. Congratulations and good luck., Safety Valve Better Vacation System TO THE EDITOR: All demonstrations, mild or otherwise, are foolish, but there is certainly a just cause for protest at this time. The deal the students are being given on the Thanks giving vacation is certainly a bad one. We realize the confusion that may be caused by a change of dates at this time. But we can not understand why such a blunder was made in the first place. One week at Thanksgiving and two weeks at Christmas could have been planned long ago. A recess beginning at noon Nov. 22 would have enabled the •large number of students without Saturday classes to attend the Pitt- Penn State game if they so desired. Many students and teachers would have appreciated the two days (Nov. 24, 25) of free time to hunt small game much more than the free time on Jan. 5 and 6. We feel that the one week Thanksgiving, two week Christmas system would be best. We hope that something will be done to select a better path for us to follow in planning vacation time in the future. We are sure that a more satisfactory system can be arranged. . •Letter Cut —Name Withheld Gazette ...
