AIM to Ask for Decentralized Voting The Association of Inde pendent Men Board of Gov ernors will ask All-University Cabinet to use decentralized voting in the fall elections. The motion to recommend de centralized voting to Cabinet was brought up by Vice IPresident Carl Smith. The motion unani mously passed. Smith pointed out that elections which previously had been cen tralized in the cardroom had a turnout of about 27 per cent in the spring elections. It was thought that the percen tage of voters would increase if students were given the oppor tunity to vote in or near the vicinity of their residence halls or classrooms. Tentative polling places sug- ®lrr Satly^tEnll By DENNY MALICK Money for the University’s ex pansion in both quality and quan tity should come from the federal government since it could not be procured at the local and state levels, he said, but “parents and students will have to do their part." The top priority of the fed eral aid program should go to teacher salary increases, he said, adding that the federal government should increase the inducement for college and high school students to enter the teaching field. Second to the salary raises, Clark said, aid should go for school construction, especially for laboratories, libraries and class rooms for colleges and universi ties. The third priority for federal (Continued on page eight) gested by the board are Waring Hall, Nittany 20. Redifer Hall, various classroom buildings as well as the Hetzel Union card- I room where the elections had previously been held. It was pointed out that paper ballots will be used this fall in place of the automatic voting ma chines previously used, because of the proximity of local and state elections. The main objection to imple menting decentralization last spring was the cost of purchasing enough machines for the various elections points. With the use of the paper ballot the board thought decentralized voting could be accomplished. The board also said the HUB cardroom was off the main thor oughfare and was not in plain view of students passing through the HUB. Through decentraliza FOR A BETTER PENN STATS STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. OCTOBER 16. 1958 University May Install Meter Area Would Be Placed Behind Coed Halls All-University President Jay Feldstein said yesterday the pos sibilities are good for secur ing short-time parking meter spaces behind Simmons and Mc- Elwain Halls. Feldstein will present a com plete report of the plan to ease traffic congestion around the women’s dormitories at the All- University Cabinet meeting at 8 tonight in 203 Hetzel Union. Yesterday Feldstein met with Elwood F. Olver, director of the Department of Security, and discussed the parking prob lem at length. Today Feldstein is to see Col. Lucien Bolduc, chief of the Campus Patrol, concerning the placement of the meters in' Area 40, behind Sim mons and McElwain Halls. The parking problem resulted from the establishment of a “no parking” zone in front of Sim mons and McElwain Halls at the beginning of the semester. The no parking regulation was put in effect to facilitate the movement of traffic on Shortlidge Road. In other business, Cabinet will discuss possible ways of raising additional funds for the Larry Sharp Fund. Last year more than $3OOO was collected to aid in'the payment of costs for the hospi talized former student. Sharp suffered a broken neck in a fall from a trampoline in a men's physical education class Oct. 10, 1957. He was paralyzed from the neck down and has undergone extensive rehabili tation treatment in two New York City hospitals after spend ing six weeks in the Geisinger Memorial Hospital, Danville. Charles Welsh, senior class president, will report on the ad ditional plans for the use of the public address system during foot ball games at Beaver Field. At last Saturday’s game, the P.A. system was used to announce penalties ana scoring plays. The additional use of the pub lic address system was request ed at last Thursday's Cabinet meeting and the request was favorably received by the De partment of Public Information. A progress report on the stu dent insurance program will be presented by Russell Connelly and two Student Encampment work shop reports will be heard. Sam Fleming will report on the sub sidiary organizations of student government workshop and Louis Phillips will give the academic atmosphere and culture workshop report. tion, the students’ attention would be attracted more easily and a percentage increase in voting might be possible. Richard Armen, a member of All-University Elections Com mittee, last spring conducted an investigation on decentrali zation of voting. • The results of Armen’s investi gation were: • Enough automaitc voting ma chines could not be obtained for all the points of decentralization. • One man could not possibly set up machines in different areas in such a short time. ©Too many machines would be needed for All-University elec tions. The cost would be too high. Armen also said his committee discovered that the last time de centralized voting had been used, the lowest percentage of voting was recorded.
