Elections
Declared
Validated
The Elections Commission
unanimously decided last
night to consider the SGA
elections valid despite the re
ported misconduct of Campus
party members at the polls and a
charge that strict controls were
not observed at the polls.
John Brandt, Campus party
chairman, charged that the pres
ent election system was not fool
proof and that the ballot boxes
could have been tampered with
during the three days of voting.
Leonard Julius, SGA presi
dent, said that he did not know
what further supervision could
have been provided. Elections
commission members were at
the polls and the ballot boxes
were sealed overnight, he added.
Elections committee members
1
decided that the voting had been'
carried out according to the sys
tem which had been set up and
that the charge was not valid.
University party co-chairman,
Michael Hazel, made no formal
charges.
Discussion on the misconduct
of Campus party members at
the polls was brought up at the
request of Brandt who wished
to hear the reports.
Campus party members were
granted permission by the Elec
tions Commission to sit at the
polls and tally the number of
voters.
Some of the poll watchers did
not understand their duty and
punched matric cards and handed
out ballots, Robert Umstead, El
ections Commission chairman,
said.
Copies of the "Mug and Jester,"
an article about the election writ
ten by Froth Editor, Alan Elms,
were also handed out in the vi
cinity of the elections.
Any action on these events was
postponed by the committee.

en up diplomatic relations with
Moscow in an effort to — eass•
international tensions. That
was in 1955.
As a result of Khrushchev's ut
terances in France, the note said,
Bonn "cannot but gain the im
pression that the Soviet Union
has not acted in the same spirit."
"The Federal Republic" of
West Germany, the note said
icily, "cannot believe in. the sin
cerity of the professed Soviet ef
forts to relax tensions so long as
the Soviet Union seeks through
out the world to awaken hatred
and hostility against the German
people."
That kind of language rarely

FOR A BETTER PENN STATE
STATE COLLEGE. PA.. THURSDAY MORNING. APRIL 7. 1960
University Takes Top 2 Offices;
23 Per Cent of Student Body Vote
By KAREN HYNECKEAL
Richard Haber, University Party, has been elected new Student Government Association
president.
University's duo of Haber and Donald Clagett swept into the SGA presidency and vice
presidency early this morning along with Campus Party's Susan Sherman who was
elected secretary-treasurer.
Haber beat Peter Galie by a 1904 to 1563 vote while Clagett defeated John Brandt by
a 1767 to 1669 vote.
Miss Sherman's 1894 votes
topped Jack Crosby's 1555.
Haber said this about his vic
tory: "We have just passed a mile
stone in the history of student
government elections. This past
campaign has witnessed more
mud-slinging and down-right
nonsense than any in the history
of student government here at
Penn State.
"It is my feeling that The
sentiments of a candidate should
be the same no matter whether
he wins or loses. I shall con
tinue to work in the best inter
est of student government, the
student body and Penn Stale."
Galie said, "The leadership of
student government is a great
responsibility. I am certain Mr.
Haber will do his utmost for the
betterment of Penn State."
Speaking of his new office,
Clagett said, "In winning I can
promise only my best efforts to
obtain what is good for the stu
dent body."
Brandt, who lost by 98 votes.
commented, "We think the cam
paign has exposed the students
to new ideas and opinions which
had not been out before. We
hope these ideas won't be for
gotten in the future."
The new feminine voice in SGA
said "I'd like to thank everyone
who voted for me. I'll do all an
my power to make this year a
'good one for student government."
Crosby offered his congratula
tions to Miss Sherman, saying,
however, "I am compelled to say
tatl feel nothing but disgust
tat some of the tactics employed
in the campaign and it has not
been a pleasant one.
"I am sure, however, that
Miss Sherman is well qualified
and will do a good job in this

Lion's Paw Control
Denied by Julius
Leonard Julius, SGA president, denied last night that
Lion's Paw asserts any influence in campus politics.
Julius, a member of Lion's Paw, spoke on the "Forum of
the Air," sponsored by WDFM and WMAJ.
Also participating in the debate on recent political events
on campus were Alam Elms, edi
tor
. of Froth, Jay Hawley, Lion's
Paw member and chairman of
SGA Rules Committee and Des
mond Masßae, who last month!
requested an investigation of stu
dent government at an SGA As-I
sembly meeting.
Macßae asked Hawley for a
definition of Lion's Paw. Haw
ley answered that: "Lion's Paw
is a secret senior men's honor
ary society dedicated to the bet
terment
of Penn State through
the exchange of ideas. It is not
a part of student government,
nor is it a power group. No de
cision of the organization is
binding on its members."
Macßae then asked why Lion's
Paw is a "secret" organization.
Hawley explained that this is to

Elms asked about Lion's Paw
influence in student government.
He said that Julius, Larry Byers,
vice president of SGA, and Haw
ley were the only L.P. members
participating on Assembly.
Elms charged that Byers, who
chairs the Assembly meetings.
was in a position "to exert con
siderable influence in SGA with
, this power." Julius then asked
' for instances of such action.
Elms said he had not attended
any Assembly meetings this
year but had followed the ac
tion in The Daily Collegian.
Elms then charged Lion's Paw
with influencing the recent at
tempted fix of the spring election
by James "Tim" Nelligan. He also
said that Theodore Pauloski, a
Lion's Paw member, had called
