PAGE FOUR Editorial Oiiiniorl Convenient Students who are eligible to vote in this year's crucial national elections should take advantage of the absentee ballot provided for the first time for college students in Pennsylvania. Only two weeks remain for students to exercise their voting right through this convenient means. Applications must be filed with the home county elections board by Nov. 1. But to receive this application in the first place a student must send a request to the Chief Clerk of his county board. The time is drawing short for this double exchange of mail. Registered students of voting age cannot afford to let this opportunity slip past. In the presidential race the accent is on youth. At the polls the accent should also be on youth The leaders elected next month will be called upon to make grave decisions on both foreign and domestic policy in the next four years. But the consequences of these decisions. good or bad, will have to be born bY the citizens. The students who are of voting age, for the most part, are seniors or graduates, which means that sometime within this 4-year period they will be assuming the full responsibility of citizenship. College students are some of the best informed citi zens in the country, and if they are going to have to bear the effects of November's election, they should certainly acid their voice to determining their fate. This is one time when college students must shake off their most noted characteristic—apathy—and take advantage of this convenient opportunity to share in shaping their country's destiny. 'lt Matters Not That .. We wonder where all the enthusiastic Penh State football fans were on Saturday night when the football team arrived at Rec Hall. Enough of them made enough noise the day that we beat Army. But it took frantic calls and urgings by a few interested student fans to get even a small welcoming committee there Saturday. Was the team's great play in vain just because it is recorded in the lost column rather than the won?

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Letters Bias Charge Answered By UCA Group TO THE EDITOR: On October 16-18 the 11 student fellowships affiliated with the U.C.A. are sponsoring a series on "Chris tianity and Politics." It is the purpose of this series to have the entire student body share with the fellowships in our search for the relationships be tween our Christian faith and politics. Objections have been raised to our programs on the grounds that our principal speakers are both members of the Demo cratic party and that our pro gram will be conducted in such a way that the Democratic views and issues will be the main content of the program. This is not the case. Rev. Herhold and Rev. Cox are theologians representing differing traditions. The pro gram will be conducted on a theological level with their par t y feelings not being brought into the addresses they will give. - On Tuesday evening when we may give examples of de cisions officeholders haVe had to make, we are attempting to have representatives of both parties on the panel. We hope that this program can bring to the. students some new under standing of the problems met in relating two seemingly di versified areas of thought. —William Shenk, '6l; Gomer Williams, '63; Olive Mimes, '62: Wayne Ulsh, '62; John Learn, '62; Anther Seyda, UCA Staff; Genevieve Dilz, UCA Staff. Aid Sought For Africans (Editor's Note:. The following letter is referring to an article which appeared in the Oct. 10 New York Times. It described the plight of many African stu dents who have appealed with out success to the United States Government for financial aid in order to transfer their studies to Western colleges and universities.) TO THE EDITOR: Unknown to many of us. hundreds of Afri can students are marooned in Eastern Europe. These stu dents, most of them penniless, have rejected Communist fi nancial help. However, after turning to our State Department and beg ging on their hands and knees for financial aid to transfer to American universities, they were refused all assistance. We students could help them by sending money but, better yet, if we all write to our con gressman describing the situa tion, we could do much more good. Don't be complacent!

Friday at 12:45 a.m. while re turning my date to her dorm I was accosted by a group of stick bearing juvenile delin quents on the road near McKee Hall. Luckily I escaped un scathed as did these children who were playing in the .itreet. if these children are imma ture enough to play their rah rah games under the adminis tration's auspices, let the lat ter also give them a safe place to play. We can tolerate this "school spirit".and its juvenile noises, dirt, and other minor implications as long as it en dangers neither persons nor properly. Don't worry, boys, the team will do just as well if you don't "help" them by making asses of yourselves. Extra $2 Fee TO THE EDITOR: On Septem ber 11, 1960, I entered Penn State. During the following week,- Orientation Week, I went to all of my scheduled meetings and fulfilled all ob ligations. The next few weeks passed rapidly with no incident; how ever, on Thursday, October 6, I received a little yellow post card which implied that I had failed to complete my TB test in the dispensary. I immediately checked into the situation and found that they had no record of my test. I know that I met all obliga tions concerning this test. When the nurse asked me to repeat the test, I was willing to sacrifice my time for the sake of their poorly kept rec ords; however, when she de manded two dollars for this so called service, I felt put out. In my opinion and in the opinion Beware Fake Froth Photogs TO THE EDITOR: Two knqwn incidents in two years make this warning necessary for the benefit of coeds who have hid den Froth girl desires. At least two shutterbugs have used FROTH as their means of approach in order to take pictures of some of our campus queens and their con nection with FROTH went no further than the transfer of a quarter for a magazine. They were NOT our photog raphers. Their intentions were NOT necessarily honorable (as FROTH'S always are). The solution for this bit of delu Get Behind That Team TO THE EDITOR: Tonight (Saturday) a great football team returned from a well fought battle with Syracuse to a dismal reception from those who have the unmitigated crust to call themselves Students of this institution. The 2.5% of the student body who appeared could have used the support of the other 97.5% to welcome OUR TEAM home.

This school spirit junk is comp lete idiotic nonsense. What are they trying to prove by their obnoxious display? Aren't college students mature enough to be quietly proud of their school without being clowns and buffoons? Can't Penn State be put on the map by its athletic, intel lectual, social and cultural achievements without flying paper, honking horns, and screaming juveniles? If students are to be ad mitted to this institution of higher learning, let them show that they belong here by be ing somewhat adult, by using their time to advantage, and by controlling their emotions. —Robert Cordover, '62 Protested of many others this is unfair. I agreed to take the second test, but I did not pay the two dollars. When I returned two days later for the reading, I was given the CHOICE of pay ing or having my name sent to the Dean of Men's office for disciplinary action. Because I did not have the time to waste here or at the Dean's office, I was forced to part with this small but large sum. Why are such forceful meth ods used to cover up this type of mistake? Is there any rea son why I should be FORCED to pay for their mistakes? Is the dispensary using some new method to extract money from the student population, or was it simply an honest mistake on the part of the nurse? If the latter case is correct, I think I deserve an apology and the return of my two dollars. David Wetzel '64 sion is a simple one. We have only two photog raphers, at present, who do Froth girl work for us. They are Bill Jackson and Carl Bodek and their matriculation cards will prove this to any girl ap proached for the purpose of becoming a Frothgirl. If this is not sufficient, then a call to the editor will 'clear up any further doubts, I would earnestly suggest that any girl spoken to, be a mite bit cau tious about accepting the first photog who comes along. FROTH respects its girls . . . don't be taken in more ways. Dale Peters. Froth editor, '6l but who likes a loser," seems to be the attitude of our team's "SUPPORTERS(?)". After all, THEY did not hammer their guts out against a tough Syra cuse team only to be robbed of victory by lady luck, This Saturday we will play Illinois, so let's stay true to form and cheer them before, cheer if they win, and forget them if they lose.
