Ca opus Party: Healthy Sign for Penn - Stat e
'Penn State has a third party. was formally 'chartered would be bad. Students
The fact was made known last night by Jack
McMeekin, former vice-clique chairman of the
State Party. He will call it the Campus Party.
He is organizing it to promote student partici
pation in student government, train capable
leaders, and advance representative student
government.
We are glad to see this third party appear;
win, lose, or draw. It means students still are
not afraid to start something new, and that
they are capable of doing it in a convincing
way.
How so? This is not the first third party that
has been formed; in fact there have already
been two others during the current semester,
and talk of other "third parties" has ni:ver
ceased. The other two attempts seemed as
nebulous as the talk, however, and have died
at birth because the preparation did not match
the enthusiasm.
This does not seem to be the case with the
Campus Party. Judging from a talk with Mr.
McMeekin, the group of founders has already
drawn up a charter and by-laws to be pre
sented to the Senate for chartering, has selected
an advisor, and is even making plans for the
spring elections. Such preparations, if true, in
dicate to us that this third party may not fail
and may quickly become able competition for
the two now existing. In fact, it may not even
be. the "third party"for long.
e also like the mere principle of this new
party attempting to start today. We feared the
necessity of going through the red tape of
Senate chartering and the like would discourage
students from organizing new political parties.
There would exist the feeling that "it was too
much bother" and so Lion and State would be
the only parties in spite of all.
A permanency instilled in a group because it

The basis for lack of enthusiasm lies in the
organization of NSA on this campus. NSA is
made up of student governments, not indi,

would soon feel these were "approved" parties
because they had been chartered by a Uni
versity group. This is a permanency which
would be false and' which could enable the
party leaders to have much their own way in
interpreting their constitutions and in making
decisions not covered by them.
Thus, to us the third party becomes a good
omen, it indicates students do not accept Lion
and State as the only parties since they are
on the verge of formal. chartering. Also its
planning points out students still can do things
properly.
Hosterman, Inc.
Penn State's national soccer championship
honors, which came on the eve of the Univer
sity's Centennial celebration, marked another
milestone in what has become an avenue of
national sports fame at the University.
It follows, but undoubtedly will not conclude,
a long list of national.. championship honors
earned by Penn: State athletic teams.
It seems inipbssible that a more deserving
recipient could be found for the soccer cham
pion's title than coach Ken Hosterman's un
defeated team. Penn State has always been
recognized as the hot-bed of American collegiate
soccer, and this year's squad was widely ac
claimed as the best in a lineup of great 'Lion
teams. It drove past nine of the best soccer
clubs in the nation, fielded three all-Americans,
and shattered, three Penn State scoring records.
The national championship was a deserving
clunax.
Mark up another great triumph for Penn
State athletics.
