RIDAY. APRIL 28. 1961 emphasis Collegiate Calliope One or two absurdities usually manage to wend their way into every campus political campaign and this one looks like, it is gang to be no exception. The prize for last fall goes to the group which tried to organize an exclusively independent party because, as one of the proposed members said, "If you let one or tvyo fraternity men in, the place will soon beloaded with them " This spring, first place will probably be a toss-up between the status seeking question and a do or die ref erendum which would have the power to make student govern ment members resign if their constituents are displeased with them The term "status seeker" has been rather loosely thrown around in the LEIGHTON presidential caulpaign, and na turally the greater number of activities a candidate has, the bigger the "SS" man he is. A close look at the candi date's activities lists on the election posters reveals, how ever, that Mr. Foianini has had one non-political activity, Mr. Alexander has also had one and Mr. Harrison has had three. Honoraries are, of course, not activities. The bulk of the so-called sta tus seekers' activities lies with in the political field and can, for the most part, be consid- • 1 , Bailg Totirgialt, Successor to The Free Lance, en. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday morning during the University year.

Campus party's student ref erendum is a daring move, but it appears that very little thought was put into this plank and its possible consequences. It appears to be instant anar chy. Student government has always had difficulty getting students to vote for its projects, but voting against them may prove to be a ballot of a dif ferent color. What would happen if only one Campus party candidate. say Mr. Huffman, were elect ed and that the assembly (or its equivalent) had a Univer sity party majority? Could the assembly ask the students for their opinion of the organiza tion? If the response were nega tive, could the assembly ask Mr. Huffman to leave, since he was pledged to do so? It would still be a "referendum" as far as Mr. Huffman is concerned.

COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA * * ,IL _R* the megaphone Campaigns and 'Regulations' The new ruling which prohibits campaigning in the men's residence halls can only hurt one person, Dennis Foianini. And all the signs point out that the ruling was designed to infringe on the right of an independent candidate to make himself known. The ruling won't dampen the campwigns of Bob Harri son or Duane Alexander be cause they have already follow ed the "right" course of gain ing publicity in SGA That Harri son's actions have been pure compromise and Alexand- bliss Teichholtz er's autocratic is not generally recognized. Unfortunately the familiarity of their names in connection with SGA has bred security among the student body. Foianini is not secure. He is a student who has analyzed positions, events and actions and who thinks SGA and the people in it have done enough compromising and running of , 1 well-timed one man produc tions. The one draw-back is that his name is new and therefore "I'D CROSS the DELAWARE H Have a real cigarette-have a CAMEL most of our readers, unfortun ately, think of him as a dark horse branching into politics for kicks. Well people just don't slave every night until two or three in the morning campaigning in dorms for fun. And now, the only way for the first independent candidate fo the SGA presidency in four years to make himself known to those in dorms has been im periously blocked because the dean of men's office, late in the campaign, decided to in sure "personal privacy."
