Voting In Residence Halls
The elections commission, which will handle the
mechanics for Penn State's "rite of spring" in the next
few weeks, now seems to be heading towards a stumbling
bloc.
Rt...bert Duffner, the commission chairman, has said
that he will try to follow the Assembly's wishes in setting
up pollit.,l places in the residence areas, but that he
doesn't favor this plan.
He said that if he does decide to have residence area
voting, it wog id only be at the dinner hour and would
rotate from area to area, and therefore would not be in
every area every voting night.
We would like•to impress upon the elections commis
sion the real danger of having polling places in only three
buildings on campus.
This definitely would cut down on the number of
people voting and Nv i I leave the election more open to
control by cliques.
Duffnor's argument against residence area voting is
that those who forget to bring their metric cards to the
campus voting areas are irresponsible and SGA shouldn't
want to be elected by an irresponsible constituency.
This is so feeble an argumeii that we will not even
comment upon it
It is the job of this commission to find the people to
man the polls, and to serve the students by making it
convenient for them to vote.
Whether or not the commission head himself agrees
with the idea is not important. His job is to carry out the
directives of Assembly regarding elections.
SGA Assembly has specifically asked that he get the
ballot boxes to the dormitories during the elections—not
some of the dormitories during some of the elections.
We ask therefore that elections commission insure a
fair election and do its utmost towards getting out a
sizable student vote.

The invasion force that
Fidel Castro has feared for
many months continued its
attacks late last night, al
though Castro's men 'were

Western Hem

Letters
Dining Hail
Incident
Discussed
TO THE EDITOR: Upon read
ing the latest letter concerning
the Simmons dining hall inci
dent, we would like to express
our opinion.
We feel that Mr. Dance and
Mr. Reilly were perfectly justi
fied in leisurely finishing their
meals. One of the best ways to
avoid long lines at meal time
is to get to the diningroom at
the end of the appointed hour.
Being that the hours were
specified at the beginning of
the school term, as to length
of time the dining halls would
remain open, we are unable to
see why it is imperative for us
to rush down to the dining hall
and hurridly finish our meals.
As to the effect of this on
the cost of room and board,
costs were cut tremendously
with the elimination of bussing
service in our dining halls.
Must we give up all the niceties
of gracious living?
—Peggy McClellan '64

(Editor's note: The writers of
this letter eat in Redifer Dining
Hall where bussing tables has
been eliminated, Tables ar e
still bussed in Simmons Dining
Hall.)

and financed by U.S. taxpayers.
Because of the strong U.S.
support of the anti-Castro men,
it is imperative that Castro be
overthrown. It he is not, he will
emerge as a powerful Latin
American leader and the hope
of ridding the Western Hemi
sphere of Communism will be
dealt a mortal blow.
For that reason, it would
seem that the U.S. will con
tinue to actively support the
anti - Castro forces, despite
Kennedy's strong statements
that the U.S. will not intervene.
Although Kennedy has re
cently announced a hands-off
policy, it may he recalled that
he pledged aid to all anti-Cas
tro forces during the Presiden
tial campaign last fall,
The contrast between Wash
ington's handling of the Cuban
invasion and the U 2 incident
last April is pronounced.

Jr. Hits 'Plank Stealing'
TO THE EDITOR: I was great
ly disturbed by Mr. Eisman's
accusation appearing in yester
day's Collegian that Bob Har
rison "stole" a Campus Party
plank.
I was disturbed mostly be
cause at this crucial time for
SGA it can not afford the same
type of false, malicious, mud
slinging campaign as was
carried on by Campus Party
last year. Student government
lost too much face because of it.
Eisman's accusation wa s
false, as verified by Barb Yunk,
president of Delta Zeta, whose
sorority told Harrison of his
entertainment-loan plank two
weeks ago. The upcoming cam
paign will be more valuable to
all concerned if no hasty ac
cusations are made without
checking them out first. As you
see, Harrison did not steal the
plank, but, in fact, originated
it.
Regarding Eisman's accusa
tion that he suspects Harrison
or his supporters may have ar
ranged for someone to attend
Post-Mortems,
Not Coverage
TO THE EDITOR: It would
seem to this observer that The
Daily Collegian has become
more interested in post mor
tems rather than news of com
ing events.
Although your opinions are
interesting to compare with
one's own preception of a lec-
ture the night before, it seems
that a great deal more space
could be used more profitably
from the standpoint of students
(your subscribers) if you sent
reporters out to gather news
about coming events.
I am quite certain their jour
nalistic talents would find op
portunities for extensive ex
pression and the story content
would benefit from first-hand
edness and previewing of in-
terest to your readers. -

in Cuba
by Joel myers
ington was in mass confusion
after the U 2 was downed last
spring. Finally, after a num
ber of contradictory state
ments, President Eisenhower
assumed responsibility for the
U 2 flights.
This violated a basic corol
lary of, international espionage
and led to a vigorous Commu
nist propaganda campaign
punctuated by Khrushchev's
destruction of the Summit con
ference.
In the Cuban situation, how
ever, Kennedy has played the
proper diplomatic role. He has
claimed non-intervention, even
though it's obvious that the
United States is giving sup
port to the anti-Castro rebels.
This unofficial aid will al
low the Russians to remain out
of the Cuban conflict and yet
save "face."
the Campus Party meeting,
nothing could be more ridicu
lous. Eisinan is not such a naive
politician as to really believe
that planks presented by a can
didate when up for his party
nomination at the party meet-
ing are really very significant
in getting the nomination at
the party meeting.
He knows as well as I do that
it is the votes the candidate has
before he comes to the meeting
that really count. As Harrison's
campaign manager for the par
ty nomination. I can assure Mr.
Eisman that Harrison support
ers were real busy making sure
our votes were there at the
meeting to be able to worry
about what was going on at the
Campus party meeting.
In closing, I would like to
add that the Harrison-Univer
sity Party slate hopes to win
this election on the basis of
honest politics, constructive
campaigning, a good platform,
and the most qualified candi
dates. We hope the others will
do the same.

In Defense
Of Peace
TO THE EDITOR: Congratula
tions, Mr. Bellingrad, on your
letter to the Collegian!
Perhaps the French and the
English peoples have "drifted
closer to an isolationist posi
tion" because their countries,
not just their armed forces,
have lived through war. Had
the Americans been bombed
and their homes ruined, I am
sure that they too would pre
fer a "bad peace rather than a
glorious war."
If at all possible, we should
try to reconcile ourselves with
our fellow man through Peace
Corps programs rather than
annihilate the world through
war.
I like America as it is; I
would not like to live in radio
activity.
