PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Improve Elections Code Elections Committee showed its power yesterday—it slapped Campus Party's wrist for putting posters up helot e the official start of the campaign. In doing so it exercised the one choice of penalty open to it without disqualifying the candidates or the party. Even this would have ben imposible under the present Election , , Code. The code specifies that the committee may disqualify a candidate for buying votes or other bribery, electioneer. Ing near the polls and stuffing the ballot boxes, It does not say'a candidate may be removed from the lace for any other reason. So the committee is left with no power. The censure, surely, means little. It will not hurt the party m the campaign. Another section of the code says heavy penalties may be levied by the committee against a party found guilty of misusing trees and buildings or campaigning in poor What heavy penalties? Disqualifying the entire party slate is a little too severe for almost any action—unless a party makes a bonfire out of Old Main. So Elections Committe continues doing its job, with out any teeth for enforcement of its code, and slaps the pai ty's hand and tells them to be good. It is the second time since nominations began that the Election Code has proved insufficient to cope with prob lems which have arisen. The Elections Committee chairmen have recommend ed two amendments to the code to deal with one problem. They will probably have to make additional recommenda tions to give themselves some teeth. Piecemeal work on the code will prove worthless in the long run. There is no need to wait until something arises which is not covered before scurrying for a new clause. The Elections Code should be sent to a special com mittee to study it in its entirety. Only in that way can a comprehensive, strong and worthwhile program evolve which will aid the committee in strengthening the parties and student government. What Price Education It's almost definite now. The University, expected to handle 25,000 students by 1970, will probably have to stand still for at least two years. Unless some unexpected money source turns up, the University will have to struggle along with its present budget. This is a result of the state House-Senate com mittee-approved appropriation of $34.2 million for the 1959-6 t biennium. This appropriation is almost $lO million under the original $44 million requested by President Eric A. Walk er last spring. It virtually eliminates an expected 5000 student increase and faculty pay raises. The result: the University stands still while the demand for enrollment increases, the price of living in creases and more competent professors take jobs where a suitable salary is given. o . llr Batty Oitil'Evian Successor to The Free Lance, est. 1887 Pubhoed lue.wlay through Saturday morning during the University year.

PENNSYLVANIA Letters Vet Comments On Compulsory PhysEd Action TO THE EDITOR: Congratula tions to the "Ex-Marine" and his roommate for the letter of Nov. 10. Yes sir, the good old Senate will look after us vets. I certain ly am glad to find somebody else that was worried about the phys ed program. Wouldn't it be terrible if some how the University neglected to give us this all-important bit of training for our future lives. I should think how out of place I would feel in later life and business if I had not learned the art of volleyball and badminton or some other creative sport. And health, what a great help that will be; of course the Uni versity does not give as shall we say descriptive health courses as the service since no one here is apt to be exposed to such nasty things as bullets, bombs, etc. One of the most important things learned in health might be the art of working "together" to discover some of the secrets of health. It's amazing what tricks one can forget since high school, But then, what would we do three days a week? We would have a spare period, And with no ROTC we might get out of shape. Heaven forbid. Of course we might just put those spare periods to use to work for our degrees since we are a bit behind those in our high school graduating class. Well no matter, the good old Senate is looking out for us, and that at least we are used to. Thanks "gyrene" for the com ments. I'll play on your badmin ton team any day. —H. C.

It's downright demoralizing to find out that European masters were composing their immortal sym phonies when America's hit parade still consisted of Indian war whoops. By the time I finished the course last year I Was beginning to wonder if for eigners knew anything about United States music, or thought it was worth listening to. But' this summer my mind was put at ease; for I found that Europe was supersaturat ed with rock 'n' roll . . . and they love it!

Who said we had nothing to contribute to Letters Ice Hockey Requested TO THE EDITOR: The pri mary opposition to ice hockey as a varsity sport apparently seems to be that it would 'be an imposition on many students who would normally use the rink for recreational purposes. I am' sure that if two or three hours per day were allotted for hockey practice, many students would not be inconvenienced. This period of time would not necessarily have to conflict with the time allotted for stu dent use. Practices could be held between 5 and 7 p.m. at which time the rink is now closed to public use. The advantages of having an ice hockey team outweigh the added cost of a safety fence s locker rooms and larger park• THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1959 CRY" Rocks World by Mil neubarth the international music scene? French boys used to shout "chewing gum" and "rock 'n' roll" at us to show 'their friend liness. Often they knew only a few more words of English. At a celebration in Holland I saw youngsters guiding elec tric "bumper cars" around in an amusement park . . . to the tune of "Lonely Boy." A few days later we were enjoying dinner in a restau rant tucked into the ancient ramparts of St. Malo. French accents surrounded us, a bot tle of French wine stood on the table, the proprietor had just put a stack of records on the phonograph and we had settled back to enjoy some soft French dinner music. Our mistake! First we were treated to a loud rendition of "My Prayer" and then "The Great Pretender," complements of the Platters. In Switzerland it happened again. In our search for "at mosphere" we found a tiny night club in the old quarter of Geneva. Students from all over Europe and America were dancing and a jukebox blared out songs like "Lollipop" in between the more staid Vien nese waltzes. But nothing could top that (Continued on page 8) ing areas. The locker room problem is not as serious as it may sound. Even if the rink was used only for recreational purposes, locker rooms would be necessary. Therefore, a slight enlargement would be needed. If the parking facilities were enlarged, this would be a blessing in disguise. It is a known fact that Penn State is expanding, and within a period of years, the ice rink area will have many classrooms occupy ing the now void spaces. The large parking area could be used for student parking dur ing the day and for rink park ing at night. Thus, expanding the parking area will serve a dual purpose. —Elliot Newman, 63'
