Student Politicians Prepare
For Coming SGA Elections
With the SGA fall elections scheduled for Dec. 5,8, and 7 the three political parties have
made their final nominations for SGA Assembly seats and class presidents and one has set
up its platform.
The positions of freshman and sophomore class presidents will be filled along with 18
Assembly seats. The parties may nominate two candidates for the two senior seats to be
filled, three for the two junior seats, four for the six sophomore and six for the eight fresh
man seats.
This year’s elections were moved back about three weeks to allow the Liberal party
(which is awaiting an official charter) a chance to endorse candidates and also to avoid split
ting the campaign because of the coming vacation.
Campaigning is expected to begin Nov. 28 the day after Thanksgiving recess,
Liberals Back
15 'Endorsees'
Liberal party made its final
selection of 15 “endorsees" Sun
day night and spent the rest of
the meeting discussing its charter
difficulties.
Party members were particu
larly disturbed when party offi
cers announced that a “Senate
committee member compared the
Liberal party to Communist and
facist organizations.” No specific
Senate member was named.
The proposed third party, with
a registered membership of 42
students, had its charter rejected
last Tuesday when the Senate
Committee on Student Affairs re
fused to accept w'hat it termed
“membership restrictions” in the
group’s constitution.
Barry Flashman, vice chairman,
read the group a letter by party
officers in which they asked the
Senate Committee to explain ex
actly what the committee re
quired for .a charter and why the

Dick Hoak, a converted
halfback who makes quarter
backing look extremely sim
ple, took it upon himself to
ruin homecoming for 20,000
enthusiastic Holy Cross fans
at Worcester, Mass., Saturday.
The Lion senior passed and ran
for 234 yards, threw a touchdown
pass and set up two other scores
as Penn State rolled to a 33-8 win
over the Crusaders at Fitton
Field.
Penn Slate's victory snapped
a four-game win sireak for Ed

saders who now have a 4-4 rec
ord.
By winning, State clinched its
22nd consecutive winning season
and headed into Saturday’s key
game against Pitt with a 5-3 "log.
This was the third straight
week that Hoak has been Penn
State’s big offensive gun, but
Saturday’s Holy Cross perfor

against West Virginia and Mary

Hoak had plenty. of support

Meet in Florida

Side by side in a villa, witi
Kennedy and Vice President
Rictfard M. Nixon chatted for 63
minutes
Kennedy said laier there was
no discussion of a position for the
vice president in the new admin
istration.
In separate news conferences
afterwards, each said the session
was cordial and helpful.
It was Kennedy who made
the overtures for the meeting
with the man whom he fought
all over the. country in the
weeks of rigorous campaigning
before last week's election. And
it was Kennedy, the winner,
who came to see Nixon, the
loser, in what the vice presi
dent termed "a very gracious
act.”
While there were deep differ-,
ences during the campaign, Nix-i
on said, now that the decision is
made, the meeting yesterday is
“notice to all the world there will
be no differences we will have in
the next four years based on per
sonal considerations.”
Kennedy then held his news
conference.
.The first question was wheth
er Kennedy had offered the
vice president any post in his
new administration.
“We did not discuss that,” Ken
nedy said.
To an assortment of other ques
tions'about such things as bi-par
tisonship, bringing Republicans
into the administration, and Cuba,
Kennedy replied by referring
back to his opening statement a.s
presenting what he wanted to
say about the talks.
Finally, to a question whether
he would rule out “the possibility
of using Mr. Nixon in your ad
ministration in any capacity,”
Kennedy took a slightly differ
ent tack.
“Mr. Nixon,” he said, “has a
definite responsibility as leader of
his party and I think that perhaps
he can answer how he would de
fine that responsibility more sat
isfactorily than I can.”
