>E FOUR Editorial Opinio Good Suggestion The president of the State College Chamber of Com merce has come up with a proposal that may help im prove student-town relations. He has suggested that a committee of local business men and student representatives be organized to meet regularly and discuss problems that arise between stu dents and downtown merchants. The committee would also consider problems com mon to both groups such as parking and housing in the borough. The plan sounds feasible and we think it could be a sounding hoard for student complaints against prices and service. Likewise the students might gain a little insight into the merchant's "side of the story. The student members would be expected to accurately present the views oj the student body and also to carry back reports of the accomplishments of the committee and requests for student cooperation. Thus it' would. be important that all students be represented on such a committee by a direct line through one of the student committeemen. For example, if the students chosen for the committee included representatives of AIM, TIM, IFC, AWS, Leon ides, Panhel and SGA, every student would be represented through one of these organizations. The businessmen have expressed an interest to hear the students’ complaints. The students should take advan tage of their offer. Kach nfffht three quartern of the HUB lot etande empty.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA CHESTER LUCIDO Business Manager Letters Soph Urges Loud 'Roar' On Saturday TO THE EDITOR: We ought to call Saturday, November 19, “Outroar the Panthers” day. Our football team is going to have quite a contest on their hands on Saturday and we (the cheering section) can give them a helping hand by put ting enthusiasm in our cheers. There is certain to be a lot of growling and roaring going on at the big “Cat Fight." In stead of giving a meek “Yeah” when the “Lions" break the huddle, why can’t the team, cheerleaders, Lion and the cheering section give out with a big “Roar.” (A real Lion’s roar) Maybe if we would roar loud enough, we could unnerve the Panthers. Can’t you see the headlines now? “Lions Outplay, Outpass, Outrun and Outroar the Pan thers.” Let’s show our football team that we are behind them; let’s “Outroar the Panthers.” We could go back to the old “Ying-Yang” type cheer: Give me a “R” “RRRRRR.” Give me an "O” “OOOOOO.” Give me an “A.” “AAAAAA.” Give me an “R.” “RRRRRR.” What have you got? “Roarrrrrr.” For a more roaring Penn State, —Jay R. Crouse, '63 Junior Answer letter TO THE EDITOR: In answer to Miss Grabill’s letter in Sat urday’s Collegian, I would like to say that there are a lot of people on campus who are not the least interested in student government and who don’t want one penny of their fees to help elect its representatives. If our “leaders” want to use student government as a step ping stone to a hat society, let them put up their owp money to do' it with. There are many ways .in which the administra tion could bettgr use. the seven hundred 'dollars than by giv ing it to political parties. —Dick Diehl, '62 Gazette TODAY AF Glee Club, 3 p.m., HUB assembly room Ag HIP Party Committee, 6:30 p.m., 214 HUB American Chemical Society, 7:30 p.m.. 105 Osmond American Marketing Association, 7:30 P.m., Sigma Pi; C».

The big mystery that shrouds the outcome is just what justified such a huge change in voter sentiment during the last four years. • In all the criticism that has been heaped upon the out going administration there is scarcely enough tangible evi dence of the GOp's mishand ling of government’s operations both at home and abroad to promote 'the great and de cisive shift in voter opinion since the last Presiden t i a 1 election four years ago And yet Vice Presi dent Richard Nixon who supp' o s e d 1 y myers had a hand in shaping these policies was sent down to de feat at the hands of a relatively newcomer to the field of na tional politics. If one were lo compare this election with others in. the past, nowhere does one find the great shift in votes from one party to another as has occurred in the past four years excepting times of severe in* fernal or international crisis.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Anaylst THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1960 sents a gain of nearly eight million votes for the Demo cratic candidate over his 1956 counterpart and a loss of ona million votes for the Republi can candidate. The answer can be partially found in many complex eco nomic, political and social fac tors. However, we believe that the image of an earnest young man full of vitality who feels it his destiny to again put this nation in a position of world leadership was the most promi nent issue of the past cam paign. There's no doubt that ihe so called "religious issue" played a role in the final tally of votes, even though its exact effect is difficult lo diagnose. It helped ihe President-elect secure vote margins in the Northeastern states while at the same lime it probably provided the bal ance of power in giving many of the Western stales to Nixon, If our assumption is correct and Kennedy was capable of creating a clear and favorable image among the nation’s elec torate in the few months of his national exposure, l we may hope that he will meet with similar success In ; the next four, or possible eight, years with the people of> the Com munist and neutral world. Swedes are likely to be next after them. There have been reports that Japan is almost ready, and there is much speculation about Red China. And the more members there are in the Atom Club, the more complicated becomes the pros pect of ever arriving at" con trols or abolition. Aside from these problems, the United States would like to see France spend her money in other ways—particularly in aid to underdeveloped coun tries which is now proving a strain as this country runs a deficit in its over-all financial dealings with the rest of the world. The nuclear striking force for NATO is expected to be one of the key topics at next month’s conference in Paris, al though it can be discussed on tentative basis only.
