Campaigning Nears End
For Frosh, Soph Races
Campaigning moves into the home stretch as freshmen and sophomores go to the polls
Thursday to elect class officers.

party member said yesterday.
Officials of both parties said'
yesterday that their party will
distribute new campaign litera
ture beginning today.
Lion party members have said
that this election is a do-or-die
one for the party. They pointed
out that another sweep by Cam
pus party could mean possible
dissolvement. Campus last spring
took all nine positions from Lion
party and the now defunct State
party.
Officials of both parties have ,
said that a party has to take at
least four of the six contested
posts in order to claim victory.
However, the most prized posts
are the class presidencies, which,
are accompanied by seats on All-
University Cabinet.
Sarcastic Comments
"I've never seen a campaign
quite like this one—it's in a class
by itself. There's no question
about the competence of the
(party) clique chairmen—and the
quality of the campaigns," a party
member sarcastically said.
The major part of the cam
paigns to date has consisted of
candidates visiting dormitories
and fraternities. Both parties ex
pect to complete the dormitory
and fraternity campaigning by
tonight.
Thomas Emerick, president .of
the Veterans Club, said yesterday
that he expects the voting per
centage of veterans to be "pretty
good." He explained that one
party, Lion, has two veterans on
is slate and that most freshman
veterans are interested in the
parking problem.
Last fall, Lion party captured
four out of six positions. They
lost the freshman presidency and
vice presidency to State party.

By ED DUBBS
"Lion party's stand on (fresh
ntan) veterans' cars is not a rash
promise. In the first place, (All-
UniVersitY) Elections Committee
ruled that the • plank is feaSible.
Secondly, there are possible solu
tions to the problem. For exam
ple, veterahs' cars, could be per
mitted in town but , not on cam
pus, o r the Unlversity could be
gin a long-range plan for more
parking facilities." •
Party Has 'Confidence'
It also states that the sugges
tions listed' "might. not - be• the
answer," but that. the party has
"confidence that student govern
ment is capable of bringing up a
solution,."
The. Lion party platform states
that the candidates and, the party
"will attempt to remedy" three
problems: One of the problems
listed is "the •banning of freshman
veterans' cars." Campus - party
stated in its platform that the
party "recognizes the inability of
the University to cope with the
present parking problem, due to
the limitations of the present phy
sical plant, and therefore makes
no promises concerning this prob
lem. '
The original draft. which was
read to the committee by Thomas
Dye, party clique chairman, men
tioned Campus party. Several
members voiced objection to us
ing the name of the opposing
party in the resolution.
Nurock Voices Opposition
Robert Nurock, sophomore in
arts and letters from Elkins Park,
voiced opposition to the original
draft "in - order to keep the cam
paign clean."
The original version opened:
"The inference by the Campus
party that the Lion 'party's stand
on veterans' cars is a "rash prom
ise" is - not only incorrect, hut a
slur on the capabilities of student
government."

that "there. are possible solutions
to the ..(veterans' 'cars) problem

System - Has Utak Value
Seipt told . Cabinet members
that a public address system is of
little value on campus and. that
students are beginning tio dislike
its use. It is degrading to the - Uni

Original Plan Staled
The recommendation stated
that when the Hetzel Union
Building was opened, the Food
Service, employees 'working for
the catering "serVite were paid
cash and others were paid meal
tickets. Late last spring, the Other
employees voted on . Whether they
wanted payment by cash or meal
tickets.
This year. all employees have
been paid- •with meal tickets,

was unfair. If an employee
missed a meal at the . HUB—the

pay for a meal - put of his own
money. 'And some students are
working because , they don't have
any extra* money. Lieske said.
