The only change in either plat fOrm recommended was a minor change in wording and clarifica tion of one provision in the State party platform. Section six of the State plat form reads: "An All-University clique offi cer may propose an amendment to the constitution at an official stu dent representative council meet in,,, at which time it will be ac cepted or rejected." When questioned,about th e democracy of this point, Rae Del leDonne, clique chairman, ex plained that any• member of the clique could recommend . an amendment. However, she said, since the student representative council must approve the amendment, it would have to be presented for approval by a member of the council. This is the same situation as exists on All-University Cab inet, she went on., Although stu dents are free to propose amend ments to the All-University Con stitution, she said, these amend ments must be presented by - a member of cabinet. Ernest Famous, elections com mittee chairman, announced that the freshman and sophomore class elections will be from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 11. Each party will be allowed to suspend one banner between the trees on the Mall, rather than tack posters on campus trees, Famous said. He explained that allowing posters on trees might set a dan gerous precedent for other organ izations over which the commit tee had no jurisdiction to do the same thing. Bolts will be placed in two sets of trees on opposite sides of the Mall and each party will be al lowed to suspend a banner across the Mall. tributed to organizations which refer directly to students and to lower the percentage for national funds.

PENNSYLVANIA State Gives OK After considerable discussion as to the advisability of releasing the State Party platform at this time, clique chairman Rae Delle- Donne released the paity's plat form last night. Miss DelleDonne hesitated in presenting the platform for pub lication in Daily Collegian, she said, because she felt it was un fair that party platforms could be torn to bits before the party can didates had a chance to defend and explain the planks in -cam paigning. However, because Gordon Po gal, Lion Party chairman, had al ready released his platform for publication, Miss DelleDonne de cided it_ would be in the best in terests of the party to have its platform published at this time. The State Party platform reads: The state party , platform is an announcement of state party's po sition in relation to certain prob lems of long standing. The state party wants your voting support of its candidates so that they may motivate the stagnant machinery of student government and obtain dynamic 'action for you on these , glaring inadequacies: I.
