PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Trial Ends; No Results The 6-week trial period on parking regulations has evidently ended early in view of yesterday’s announce ment by Albert E. Diem, vice president for business ad ministration. We were sorry to see that the administration’s “re evaluation study” did not convince them of any need for change, The SGA Traffic Code Investigation Committee has been taking surveys on "the use of certain lots and the tabulations, trends and implications of these surveys will be carried in Tuesday's Collegian. We think these studies do prove the need for certain changes, Diem centers most of his argument on the unavail ability of mid-campus parking lots to students. We have heard of no agitation by students to open any mid-campus lot except the HUB lot and we will cover this Tuesday. This paper has fought editorially only for the open ing of the HUB lot and have not heard any requests by students to open any other mid-campus lot. The only other complaints have been over the physi cal condition of the lots for which students arepaying $l5 per semester and the attempts of commuting students to move from outside periphery lots to inside periphery lots. On one point we will support Diem’s plea. Complaints by individual students do consume a lot of valuable staff time if they are all carried to his office. The SGA committee is working diligently on the problem and we suggest that all complaints be funneled to them. They can study the compiled complaints and come up with workable recommendations to take to Diem. A Student-Operated Newspaper 56 Years of Editorial Freedom 0% Batlg (ftulUgian Successor to.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.- STATE COLLEGE.'PENNSYLVANIA Interpreting U.S. Electoral System Inherited By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst In the early morning hours of Wednesday, dur ing the period of the “Nix on rush’’ in the vote count ing, there appeared, on pa per, a possibility that the final decision might lie in the hands of 14 men in Missis sippi and Alabama. These were the unpledged electors who were being held in reserve for just such an op portunity. They represented anti-Kennedy Democrats. If neither candidate had been able to obtain a ma- jority from the other states, Nixon would almost certainly have been elected. The possibi lity of mani pulating the Electoral Col lege in such s i t u a t i ons, created by the right ,of the states to-control their pwn election procedure, has often been argued in con nection with the efficacy of the whole arrangement.. Con tributing to the argument has been the fact that there have Letters Critic Of Party Said Confused TO THE EDITOR: The letter by Nancy Williams in yester day's Collegian accusing Lib eral Party of being too critical of SGA and of misinforming the students on the party fi nances referendum was ap palling in its ignorance of the facts. Miss Williams, an’ SGA Assembly member, is an ex cellent example of the kind of person who sits on SGA hold ing the nescient belief fhat all is. well with student govern ment. I suppose that Miss Williams would call appropriating $7OO of student, funds to help her get reelected this fall a “con structive idea.” Of course, Miss Williams says brightly that the $7OO is n't paid by the students, it comes from SGA funds. The in congruity of this reasoning is painfully obvious. Again, Miss . Williams ac cuses Liberal Party of falsely stating that $7OO would be given to each party per elec tion. If she had bothered to read the petition the people who signed it did presented to the Assembly, the gross un truth of her' statement would be revealed to her. This illogical reasoning and misunderstanding of the facts should be considered by the Junior Class when deciding whether to reelect Miss Wil liams this fall. —Wallace Lauer, '63 Jonathan Young, '64 Rev. Ream Denies Political Activities TO THE EDITOR: It has been brought Vo my attention that a young lady who says she is a representative of the Newman Club has been phoning many townspeople and students, tell ing them that we are very thankful for their support of Senator Kennedy's candidacy for the presidency. Neither the Newman Club nor the Catholic Church, which ■it represents, has endorsed any candidate for the presidency in the recently concluded election. Therefore, we of the New man Club assume no responsi bility for such phone calls, and, furthermore, we deplore the libelous conduct of the person who would do such a thing. —Rev. Gerard J. Ream ROBERTS Chaplain. Newman Club been minority presidents, through victories in the Elec toral College without a major ity of the popular vote. The Electoral College sys tem was established original ly because of two major fac tors in the minds of the coun try's early leaders. Controlling, perhaps, was the feeling that the people as a whole could not know the candidates under the condi tions of communication in those days, and would be bet ter off to delegate their au thority to representatives at home whom they would trust to aft, for them in choosing a president. Present, also, was the feel ing among the gentry who made the rules on those times that' direct election by- the common people was a little too revolutionary even Bleory»Eyed Re] Campaign Observer Discusses Trends Twenty-twenty hindsight is standard equipment for a politician and the days following an election are filled with post-mortums in which all mistakes are turned into “if onlys.” Before and after the election, amateur and professional political scientists take the tra ditional voting records of de fined areas of the nation and attempt to analyze them to determine which past patterns have been followed and which broken Certain voting patterns have been established in the nation, but not even the perfect back ward glance of the politician can account for variations in this pattern. The urban areas of the na tion/ which have a traditional Democratic voting record, vir tually carried President-Elect John F. Kennedy into the White House. Breaking records in New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Illinois, the Dem ocratic sweep of the large cities brought those states to the Kennedy camp. In the past the large Demo cratic city vote has often been outweighed by the traditionally Republican rural vote.. Ken nedy’s precision campaign ma chine brought out a record number of voters in the urban areas which accounted in part for their influence. A factor which may have had equal weight in th urban demo cratic victories was Kennedy’s Catholic religion. JLarge cities often have large minority groups which tend to be liberal in nature and united in voting. Kennedy also won in Con necticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, which all had heavy Catholic votes. The not-so-solid South, which had been traditionally Demo cratic until the Dixiecrat break-away in 1948 and which went Republican in the last two elections, split in its vote Tues day.

FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 11, 1960 in a revolutionary country. The idea of direct popular election, involving federal con trol of presidential voting, hac never taken hold. This time we have the case of Illinois, where Kennedy got 27 electoral votes through a majority of only about 5,000 out of about 4,750,000. Under proportional representation in ; the Electoral College, which many suggest, Nixon would have gotten 13 of those votes. ; As this is written there are still enough precincts to re port and absentee votes to be counted to give Nixon an over all popular majority. Even the electoral vote of some states —but not enough—could be changed. In such situations, the Elec toral College as it stands is not a precise instrument for recording the popular will. • iorter election by the Republicans, in West Virginia where he had won a much contested pri mary in May, and in Texas. The usually Republican farm belt did not deviate from its traditional affiliation and wound up in the Nixon camp. The area is heavily Protestant and Kennedy's rejection of the GOP farm policy could not sway the vote in these states. The west central and Pacific northwest states, called the “swing states" because their ballots are counted late and they usually go as the nation goes, veered sharply from this pattern. It was these states that re mained in doubt and nearly in deadlock, until most of them went to Nixon with slim ma jorities.
