How can political parties be improved, and take the place of the elections committee as director of student government elections? The answer lies in a five point program which can become a strong political institution in stu dent government. This program should be in corporated in the spring elections code. It would provide a system to permit more student identi fication with one political party, a continuing party organization, a system of primary elec tions, adoption of a permanent elections code, and delegation of the elections committee to a smaller—but more important—duty. The key to the problem is the relationship between the party and the student member. A student would have to be identified with a party, or the remaining points would be inoperative. A system of strong party organization can not be established if there are no party members but those who stray into a clique meeting, volunteer for a job, and work until the election. Between elections, party members are scarce. How can party identification be achieved? The easiest means of identification is also' the most feasible: permanent registration. With per manent registration, there can be no flooding of opposition clique meetings, there can be a pri mary election system, and there can be per manent party organization. Permanent registration would be a system whereby a student would apply to the elections committee and be enrolled as a member of one Training Leaders The second student leadership training pro gram, which opens tonight, affords students a fine chance to develop their own potential leadership qualities. The training program, sponsored by All- University Cabinet, is open to all students. This year it has been designed to not only aid those aspiring to campus offices, but to help all under graduates seeking leadership training. It• will begin at 7 tonight in 110 Electrical Engineering. The program will be divided into six instruc tion sessions, one session each week. Faculty and administration members are scheduled to speak at each of the remaining five sessions, follow ing tonight's preliminary registration. Topics to be presented in the six weeks cover every phase of leadership, including responsi bility of leadership, parliamentary law and procedure, floor leadership, and the structure of the University student government. The program this year looms as a fine chance for all students, regardless of position, to learn a little about a big subject. And many of our "student leaders" could use some of this honest to-gosh training.

Lists of those persons and their party affiliation would be taken to the polls, and persons checked off as they voted. Complaints have been made in the past that members of the elections committee—,who would conduct this registration—haVe classes too. True. But why not maintain permanent booths where students could register? These booths would probably be in the same areas where polling places would be located. Students would be free to change party af filiation until a specified, date before the elec tion. Changes would be recorded. Usually the dissident groups in a party in one election be come • the strongest groups in the opposition party in the next. Permanent registration would reduce the number of such movements, but would not hinder them. With permanent registration in use, a system to prevent fraud in decentralized voting could be established. If a person voted in more than one polling place, that person's vote would be subtracted from the total vote of the party with which he was registered. Only members of authorized groups could be registered as inde pendent voters. If fraud occurred within the independent group, the group with whom the voter received his independent status would no longer be authorized. Permanent registration would be the vehicle that would give initiative to several proposals for reorganization of campus parties. And, the elections committee should chart the path the parties should follow—in a way to credit both the parties and the campus as a whole. —Phil Austin A Man of Effort In 1911 the name of John Mayne Spangler was associated with many campus projects. He was co-founder and editor-in-chief of Froth. He was historian of his class. He was a member of Eta Kappa Nu, electrical engineering honorary. And he was a member of the then-famous Pharsonian Minstrels. Spangler was graduated in that year. But his association with the University did not end. It continued until his death Monday at the Nittany Lion Inn. Spangler Was on campus to participate in three alumni meetings. His service to the University is a matter of record. He was named chairman of the Alumni Fund Council in November, 1952. He was a member of the Executive Board of the Alumni Council. For his service the University presented him the Distinguished Alumnus Award in 1952. Spangler's post-college career was just as dis tinguished. He joined the National -Carbon Com pany as railroad representative in 1915. He be came sales manager, then general sales man ager, vice president, vice president and general manager, and finally president of the 'firm. Penn State offers greater educational oppor tunitieS today than it offerdd John Spangler in 1911. It is due to the efforts of many individuals that this is so. John Spangler was one of them. —Mike Feinsilber Gazette . . . PAUL E. WILLIAMS, Ph.D. will 'visit: the campus on March 16 to interview graduating seniors in Med. Tech., Zoology •& Entomology, Huth.

Young's Research Service has data that will enable you to eat your cake and have it too by see ing Gotham on a shoestring. Being a newspaperman some times has its advantages. Not long ago the post brought us a modest little booklet from the service, complimentary copy of course, in vitingly labeled "How to Make a Little Go a Long Way." In these distressing days of sales tax and falling economies we feel indebt ed to share its helpful hints about where to. go and what to see CHEAP in the big city.

Always with a mind to economy; the research service has ignored the ultra-sophisticated hangouts where only ` - `particular people congregate" and carefully avoided the "gin Mills or dives" with full emphasis on places with simple, entertaining atmospheres where one may have the best time for his miserable pennies.
