It’s Platform Time Again As is the custom every year about this time we v/ill comment on the platforms which have been submitted by the campus political parties. Every year the hostility toward platforms seems to grow. Recently there has been talk of doing away with them (platforms, that is) al together. Criticism is that the parties either come up with tile same old suggestions year after year or that they propose things which are so absurd that they cannot be taker, seriously. When you come right down to it there aren't really a lot of startling changes to be made. Also in past years there have been suggestions made which have yet to be put into effect. This har rows the field somewhat as far as choice of planks go. However, theie are improvements to be made. And when platforms appear annually there is always the criticism that the political parties are a bunch of blind, sightless fools who can’t see the foiest for the trees. Campus Party has come up with six planks which they feel, “are legitimate issues which have a direct bearing on student welfare.” We feel that the platform contains planks which fall into the two aforementioned cate gories of criticism. It also contains ideas which are worth some praise. . One area which needs improvement has been touched on by Campus Party with a two-part plank. This asks for bolstering the Orientation Week men’s counseling program. The plank suggests that the men’s counseling program be made over so that they resemble more the wom en’s counseling program which is presently in effect. The plank also urges an education system for Hat Society counselors in the semester previous to the time of the counseling. This is something which would greatly aid Orientation Week in general. As a whole the batmen who counsel the freshmen do not do a thorough job. Also, we feel, that the job is not given enough preparation and that the coun selors do not take their job seriously enough. Campus Party thinks that intra-class and inter-class competition should be improved. Well, this is very nice. We think so too. How ever. at a University the size of Penn State this is indeed a hard task. We will not call it impossible because we would never under estimate the power of either political parly. This point is one which has bothered us ever since we left the farm and came to this sprawling campus. However, to this, all- we can say is, “How many of you students have ever attended a class meeting?” Keep Up Spirited Ways We finally got some school spirit! And it But don’t use this upset victory as an excuse took Ohio State to cause it to explode. You’d to show it.

Many students were actually shocked at the response the final score caused at University Park—probably because they have never seen or heard anything like jt before at Penn State. The game is over and will be recorded as one of the greatest upsets of the year. The score will never be forgotten—and let’s not leave our school spirit with the memories. Think of our team who gave all they had to win this game. Consider the courageous determination power and fighting spirit they displayed right down to the last second—and they aren’t finished. They’ve had all this before and they'll have it again, but the thing that will really add a spark to theii zeal is to know that finally the students found their spirit and are behind them. AIM.

PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager When the Campus Party, advocated, “exten sive use of an Ail-University Committee on Public Relations,” we winced and shook our heads. Students have been condemned for being apathetic toward matters of student govern ment. We could take this plank as an indirect slap at Collegian coverage of student activities. Perhaps we do criticize and poke fun at cer tain efforts which are made yearly by student leaders. This is our prerogative as a newspaper. This public relations group would serve quite a different purpose than a publication, we are sure. However, this group would only be another added weight to the already overbearing load of deadwood organizations prevailing here. To a registration system which this semester was called “the most effective ever” by ad ministration officials and hailed from nearly every quarter as being about as effective as one could be, Campus Party comments, that it is effective. We are sure that Ray V. Watkins, scheduling officer, will appreciate Campus Parly's con cession. In addition to this the platform asks for a Mock Registration program for freshmen. This idea has merit but could very well prove un feasible and too much of a burden for its overall worth. Realizing the potential popularity of the flash card system (to be), the Campus platform in cludes the suggestion that the flash-card system be turned over to the Freshman and Sophomore classes and their respective advisory boards. At Cabinet Thursday night William Coale, Sophomore class president, said that at present his advisory board was not functioning. In the Fall the Sophomore class president is a Junior during the better part of football season. Per haps the Hat Society Council might better handle this problem. So the Campus Parly platform has taken its stands. Freshmen and Sophomore candidates will be preaching these things from their soap boxes very soon. • We can’t fairly say that the platform has startled us very much. It is slightly different than platforms of past years. However, many of the things it proposes will be unworkable in the future. The only way the possible ones can reach fruition is by the work of a group of interested students. We’d better quit. We're beginning to sound like political parties; wishing for the moon. —The Editor The upperclassmen sections have less spirit than any. The freshmen can usually be counted on for cheering the loudest, doing Stunts, and creating a football game atmosphere. Why can’t the upperclassmen act as if they’re at a football game? What happens to the spirit after the freshman year? Cheering is not a freshman custom, but some thing that all of us should participate in. The team's battling for all of us, and all should back them up. After this “never-to-be-forgotten” win over Ohio State, we’re filled with yigor and spirit— or at least feel some joy Let’s continue to display our spirit. Make the student sections alive and every game will be an unforgetable one. —-Lil Junes FROTH CIRCULATION STAFF. «:IS.

F rom Here By Ed Dubbs Ofi, That Butler Dubbn* opinion* art »©1 necessarily those of this newspaper* the stadent body* k the University. We welcome correspondence on opinions expressed below* The Maryland Senatorial race has been quite interesting to me, especially since I believe that it is the democratic duty of Marylanders to repudiate incumbent Senator John M. Butler, a Republican often classified with the infamous Joe McCarthy. And besides, it’s a crazy, mixed-up race. Mr. Butler defeated Senator! Millard Tydings in 1950 by using' a campaign said masterminded by Mr. McCarthy. One of the gutter campaign tactics employed by Butler was the use of a faked photograph showing Mr. Tydings with Earl Browder, former leader of the American Communist parly. This is not just my opinion. It is a matter of public record. The campaign has been denounced by a Senate investigating committee as one of a “moral squalor" (New York Times, Oct. 21, Section 4, page 2). Mr. Tydings, a liberal Demo crat. started out this year to win back his seat. He won the primary and got the nomina tion. But Mr. Tydings had to with draw from the race. He had shin gles and is 70-plus years old. Before continuing. I want to explain that I do not have high opinions of Maryland politics in either party. . The Democratic organization is very much ariff in Mary land, and for this reason, their nominee, chosen by the state committee after Mr. Tydings re signed, will probably lose. The candidate is George P. Ma honey. Another interesting aspect of this race is that Mr. Mahoney won the nomination over Mrs. Tydings, who hoped to carry on her husband’s name In the elec tion. Although Mr. Mahoney is not the best candidate running for a Senatorial seat, I believe it is the duty of Marylanders to support Mr. Mahoney in repudiation of the gutter tactics of. Butler. And Butler is a. conservative O'd Guard member of the Republi can oartv. Mr. Mahoney's chances de pend on the Baltimore -vote, especially among the Catholics, but the upstate rural vote will Drobably more than offset Mr. Mahoney's Baltimore majority —unless Maryland voters admit Iheir 19S0 wrongdoing and the Democrats get wholeheartedly behind Mr. Mahoney.
