Editorial Opinion
To Establish Contact
We herald the slated appearance of President Walker
before the Student Government Association Assembly
meeting tonight as the best move to establish contact
between Preicy and the students.
This is an area of communications which has recently
come under fire from some quarters.
The topic to bo discussed—tho four term plan— is
certainly one of primary interest and importance to the
students. And .here is a chance for Assemblymen to func
tion directly as representatives of the students.
All students with specific questions regarding the
new system that will jgo into effect this summer should
give their questions to one of their representatives on
Assembly.
The appearance of the President at Assembly will
indicate that the administration attaches some importance
to SGA and its functions. It should also raise the prestige
of SGA in the eyes of the students.
Such meetings in the past might have helped solve
certain problems and eliminated scrapes between the stu
dents and administration.
We are glad to see this move and recommend that it
become a policy followed more often in the future.
ISA—An Important Step
The Independent Student Association, now in the
process of being formed is another important step in the
community living system. The ISA purpose is to provide
a better social program for independents than previously
sponsored by the factional bodies of Leonides, the Asso
ciation of Independent Men and Town Independent Men.
The big events on the independent social calendar
were usually cooperative ventures between AIM, Leonides
and TIM, and often coordination became difficult.
There are few independent events planned strictly
for men or strictly for women, but there is a great need for
an increased coed social program for independents.
With one unified body to do the planning, a much
more effective program should be possible.

Restrictions
On Parking
Discussed
TO THE EDITOR! I read with
interest in tire Collegian that
Mr. Diem is planning to impose
further restrictions on student
.drivers, e.g. prohibiting park
ing in lot 50 from 2 to 6 a.m.
in order to prevent dormitory
students from parking there.
It sems to matter little to
anyone around here that the
dormitory residents pay the
highest prices for the most re
strictions placed on any stu
dent group at the University.
Our poor brethren from
downtown complain because,
after leaving their restriction
free quarters and walking the
15 feet to their cars, they must
park in lots farther away from
their classes than do some dor
mitory residents.
Of course the short 15 minute
walk required of car-owning
West Halls residents each lime
they wish to use their cars is
insignificant.
It is far better to extend their
journey than to force the off
campus residents to walk the
additional 30 yards to the stu
dent parking lot nearest lot 50.
Perhaps the ultimate solution
to the traffic problem at Penn
State is to demand that all dor
mitory residents park their cars
in Bellefonte and travel the
rest of the way in University
buses (which can certainly be
maintained by our parking
fees).
Voting Called
‘Farcical'
TO THE EDITOR: Concerning
a Collegian editorial of Nov. 3,
1960—although the poor fresh
men showing in voting for stu
dent council representatives
is regrettable, there Is indeed
a reason for it.
This voting is farcical be
cause freshmen are not ade
quately informed as to the
qualifications of the candi
dates. Merely seeing the can
didates’ pictures, names, and
high school activities on a po
high school activities on a post
er is not sufficient reason to
A more logical procedure
would be to hold an assembly
for each college at which fresh
men could at least hear them
speak. By so doing, the fresh
men could vote for a candidate
instead of a meaningless pic
ture or appealing name. This
surely would stimulate more
interest in student government
and its activities.

Liberal Party Petition Hit
TO THE EDITOR: A petition
concerning the appropriation
of campaign funds was brought
before the SGA on Thursday
evening by a member of the
Liberal Party.
I think it only fair that the
student Body as a whole, and
especially the students who
signed the petition, be cor
rectly informed as to the im
plications of the SGA bill and
the petition against it.
The Liberal Parly, since it
was first organized, has criti
cized time and again the As
sembly and the two political
parties on campus; it is much
easier to criticize a system than
to think positively about it.
Any student who has fol
lowed the actions of the Lib
eral Party can see that it has
not once come up with a con
structive suggestion or idea
concerning student _ govern
ment. Of what use is an or
ganization which can do noth
ing but tear down another
organization? Abso I u t e i y
none.
The bill passed by SGA
stated clearly that $7OO. per
year, (not per party or per elec
tion, as falsely stated by Lib
eral Party), be appropriated
from present SGA funds,
(again, the students will not
be assessed extra for this) to
finance SGA campaigns.
This bill was designed first.

Kennedy Win
Attributed To
Industry Vote
PHILADELPHIA (/P)
Democratic leaders yester
day attributed Sen. John F.
Kennedy's presidential vic
tory in a record-shattering
Pennsylvania vote to his
big pluralities in industrial
and distressed areas.
Gov. Dayid L. Lawrence, his
words echoed by party officials
around the state, said, “The
thing that elected Kennedy in
Pennsylvania is the fact that
he received a big vote in the
industrial and distressed areas
neglected by the Republican
party."
Republican Richard M. Nix
on led in 52 of the state’s 67
counties in Tuesday’s election
but it wasn’t enough to offset
Kennedy’s record 326,000 plur
ality in Philadelphia and more
than 109,000 in Allegheny
County, Pittsburgh.
Coupled with victory in the
depressed counties of Erie,
Lackawanna and Luzerne, the
big city drawing power gave
Kennedy a 131,000 margin over
Nixon and Pennsylvania's vital
32 electoral votes.
U.N. Vofes to Halt
Congo Discussion
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (.5 s )
—The U.N. Assembly voted
last night to suspend its Con
go debate after a heated ses
sion at which delegates from
the Soviet bloc and Ghana in
terrupted a Belgian speech by
a tablethumping demonstra
tion.
Ghana asked that the debate
be suspended until an Asian-
African conciliation commis
sion reports back on efforts to
resolve differences between ri
val Congo political factions.
Its motion was approved
48-30, with 18 abstentions. The
Stales voted against the mo
tion.
At one point Belgian For
eign Minister Pierre Wigny,
speaking on a point of order,
was interrupted by desk
pounding gestures similar to
those of Soviet Premier Khru
shchev when he attended the
opening weeks of the Assem
bly.

Food Complaint
TO THE EDITOR: We are pay
ing a great deal of money for
our education here at Penn
State. One great cost of at
tending this University is that
of room and board. I think we
are entitled to better and more
good food.
Are we going to stand by
idly and take this treatment?
Lettuce is a good food, but
variety is better. Why can’t we
have food like other people
(in other universities) have?
I may be wrong, but I think
we deserve better food. Will
you please express your opin
ion?

Ike Promises
Policy Liaison
WASHINGTON (/P) Presi
dent-elect John F. Kennedy is
expected to name his secretary
of state fairly soon in a move
to establish foreign policy li
aison with outgoing Eisenhow
er administration officials.
President Eisenhower prom
ised his full cooperation in
cushioning the shock of trans
fer of power, especially over
foreign and defense policies.
Kennedy has yet to give sny
public indication of his choice
lor secretary of state. Specu
lation among those close to
him has included Sen. J. Wil
liam Fulbright, (D. - Ark.),
chairman of the Foreign Re
lations Committee; W. Averell
Harriman, former governor of
New York, former ambassa
dor to Moscow, and Truman
administration cabinet mem
ber.
Rep. Chester Bowles (D.-
Conn.), former ambassador to
India and a Kennedy foreign
policy adviser; David Bruce,
former undersecretary of state
and former ambassador to Ger
many, and Adlai E. Stevenson,
the Democratic presidential
candidate in 1952 and 1956.
Nixon Sees Defeat,
Loses Gracefully
LOS ANGELES (/P) Rich
ard M. Nixon tasted political
defeat for the first time yester
day and took it in the tra
dition of good losers.
The Republican vice presi
dent was turned back in his
arduous quest of the White
House by a decisive electoral
vote margin for Democrat John
F. Kennedy.
He sent the winner a con
gratulatory wire ’ yesterday
morning.
The Nixons flew in Tuesday
to vote, spent a sad night hear
ing unfavorable returns, but
were seemingly cheery in the
morning in spite of all.
When his press secretary
made the formal concession at
9:47 a.m., he pictured Nixon as
in good spirits. Herbert G.
Klein said he had never seen
a man take such a loss with
such grace.
