The candidates for student
body offices discussed the var
ious roles of student govern
ment and its leaders in a press
conference broadcast over
WDFM and WMAJ last night.

administration should play in

help formulate administration
policy, on matters pertinent to the
whole student body. -
Ile cited particularly the issues
of parking and compulsory ROTC.
Duane Alexander, independ
ent candidate for student gov
ernment president, added to
Harrison's statement by saying
that he would like fo see stu
dent representatives on admin
istration committees. This, he
said, would insure a • voice 4 1
any decision affecting 'dude - .
Dennis Foianini, Campus pally,
said that he felt the administra
tion owed it to the students to
compromise on certain issues be
cause student government makes
t rmy contributions to the Univer
sity.

how the orientation program ac
complishes a necessary function
which would otherwise have to be
paid for by the administration.
The questioning then turned to
John "Skip" Witmer, University
party candidate for student body
vice president, who was asked if

to bogged down with parliamen
tary procedure and repetition.

mentary procedure.

mation.

the male candidates were asked if
they would accept bids to Lion's

Pepinsky Address
Stresses Research
Research should be the first concern of a university,
Raymond.Pepinsky, research professor of physics, said yester
day at the Faculty Luncheon Club.
"The University is basical
if students are around to learn
be the main activity," he said.
The conditions necessary for in
tellectual and creative work are
much better at a university than
in a commercial research labor
atory, he said. "One of the biggest
problems is obtaining funds to
financially support' research proj
ects and it is surprising how easi
ly a university will give up the
most heartfelt principles for
money. Fortunately, there is no
evidence of this at Penn State,"
he added.
"Ile2e2.rch is, an art." he said,
"and belongs in the university
but in recent years its charac
ter has changed a great deal.
Tremendous pieces of apparatus
are needed now to carry on re
ser"ch especially in the sciences
and sometimes a team of engin
eers and scientists must work
to-ether on a project, all add
in^ to the research costs," he
added.
If the necessary equipment is
not available commercially it
must be built, Pepinsky said, but
in either case the - researcher
should understand all the equip
ment he is operating in conduct- ,
ing his research.
One of the main advantages of'
university research is the "free
dom to choose the pri.blerns to be,
worked on," he said.
There is danger of catching
"projectitis," he added, and trying
to "keep up with the Bell Tele-,
phone Jones."

sting in the dining halls, students
living in town and in fraternity
houses would be discriminated
against," he said adding, "this
does not seem at all fair to me."
He said that he felt one poll
'operating during the dinner hour,
in the lietzel Union, would be
sufficient.
Dufner stressed that his com
mission had not been given a
formal mandate by Assembly to
set up polls in the dining areas.,
"It was the desire of the Assem
bly last Thursday night to have
dining area polls, but as the group
present did not constitute a
quorum, no formal directive was
given to me," Dufner said.
"History of elections at the Uni
versity shows that ballot-box
stuffing has occurred frequently
and I feel that if polls were set
up in the dining halls, it would
happen again due to the confu
sion of the dinner hour," he said.

42,000
Tickets Sold
At Carnival
:y.,xa.w ~.,

"'i _3s~
Approximately 42,000 tick
ets were sold at this year's
Spring Week carnival and at
least $15,000 profit made, Jack
Crosby, Spring Week chair
man, announced last night.
Last year 30,000 tickets were
sold. and the carnival cleared
$23,000. , Crosby said that he felt
the weather was an important
consideration in the comparison
between the two years.
"Last year more money was
spent on food and rides but this
year people seemed to :Avoid both
in favor of going inside the tents
to see the skits," he said.
"For example, we sold one
fourth as much soda this year as
last and even the hoagies weren't
very popular Saturday night," he
said.
Crosby added, however, that
he felt a larger crowd attended
this year's carnival and that
there was a big crowd even
early in the evenina. "At first
we expected to sell no more
than 35,000 tickets but as the
night went on, we realized just
how large the crowd was," he
explained.
"If we had liad more booths,
I think we would have sold many
more tickets," Crosby added.
Asked what he thought of
Spring Week as a whole, Cros
by answered, "Considering the
weather, I'm very happy about
it." Be said that he did not feel
the change in the float parade
which was postponed until Satur
day afternoon because of rain had
an adverse affect on the carnival.
