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?

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.

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!

Another View
TO THE EDITOR: I have New
York State license plates on my
car; I also have Penn State
parking stickers adjacent to the
license plates.
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.

Why doesn't Dean Simes or
ganize his little boys into nice
safe lynch mobs, if they aren't
old enough to know what to do
with their free time.
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.
