PAGE FOUP Editorial Opinion Mock Election Will Add To Voting Prep6ratiOn The incoming governor of Pennsylvania will have had a. much better opportunity , to become well-versed in the needs of this- University, this year than in any other election year Also students, faculty members and administrators will have had a better opportunity to learn the views of the new governor. ' Several groups are responsible for these.. improved communications. First, President Walker invited both candidates for governor to speak on campus. : Second, both accepted. ; Third, bOth candidates welcomed a question and answer period in addition to their formal speech. Fourth, students took advantage 'of this question and answer period And fifth, and the most recent development, student govertunent will conduct a .mock state election with a controlled campaign period during which both the Young Republicin and Yikung Democrat Clubs will conduct a rorous campaign. We strongly belieVe that students should take a live interest in all elections and especially in :the election of a. state governor. In 4.h t e past few years the importance of the governor in the plans of this University has'been made shockingly clear. This mock election will give Students the chance to express their opinion on the state political scene before the electron. In the east, student activit, in this area has always taken plice after a governor has been elected. Just as we thanked President Walker for having the foresight , to invite -the candidates to speak on campus, we thank tu4erit gpvemment for arranging a mock election making the expression of student feelings on state gov ernment possible. Directory Distribution The distribution of student-faculty directories is sched vied for .nrnpletioi today. Currently, town directories are suspended by a chain from each residence hall phone. We suggest that_tlie same procedure . be used for student-faculty directorie - s. This year a directory is being provided , tor every residence hall room. Since four rooms share Ufe use of each telephone'in most halls, the quantitY , of direttoijes needed for residence hall distribution 'would_ be quartered. And; also, since the directory is used chiefly for tele phonp ntnnber references, a directory attached to each 'telephone Would be more convenient.

Foi the large group of us who are forced to live in Nit tany due to ;the housing shortage, it is certainly far from being temporary. I feel that I am speak ing for the -majority of Nittany's residents when I state that we are not' complaining about our lot; however, we feel that in the area of recreation we have been treated as second glass denizens of this campus. W have no TY sets, no ping-pong tables and no other in door recreational facilities. We - are told that we are to use the . facilities - of Pollock A. These fcilities are overtaxed and :Nittany residents frequently have difficulty zri . gaining access to them, For eicample. a Nittany man Who wish ea to view a televised football gailie finds that there are no empty' chairs in the TV lounge. Thus, he is faced with two al ternatives: ieither he must stand at a distance from the set or not see the game at all. At this !point on. might be inclined to Jask. what is the Uni versity's attitude toward recrea tional facilities for. Nittany resi dents? As !usuaL the University has shown`lack of both foresight and concern for the needs of Nit tany-toen. Take. for example, the old building that was once the Facilities Nittany dining balL Instead of using it as a recreation center for the area. the Urniversityichoss to utilize the major portion of the building for a theater production studio. . Perhaps the reader might logi cally conclude 'that we . Nittany residents desire indoor recreation al facilities that would be on par with those of other housing areas. This is not So. We simply desire certain minimal facilities of our own such as a TV set and Several ping-pong tables. We do not think that we are asking for too much, since we pay our fees just as do the residents of other areas. —Dan L. Smlchnick Campus Beat Scheduling problems on cam pus seem minor compared to this one at the University of Missouri: Students in a lit coarse= found themselves assigned to Room 11 —the ladies rest room—the first day of class. According to an Associated Press report, the just-as-surprised professor moved the clasi to an other room with the qualification, "It's a very small ladies room and there are 13 students in the course." . —Prof Wayne WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER :17. 1962 _. , ~ ... . .w ~ adequate facilities, they tend to be mere formalities and "meet the artist" affairs and hardly tap the educational potential of examining other men's thoughts. c . If one were' to try to show the parallels and inter-relation ships of form and mechanics found in nature to that Thus far used by man in. his art _and engineering, and needed to have microphotographs, sound patterns, displays, w.o r k i.n g m o cke Is, paintings, sculpture and pen to demonstrate and relate this material, where could this be done? Perhaps it could be achieved, a little in Hammond Building, a little in Home Economics; a \ little in Temporary Building, But phys ically and perhaps conceptually disconnected. After much th6ught and in vestigation gotten out of giving this problem to a class of in terior designers, the conclusion is obvious. The Armory is the place Where this more recent concept In education might occur. It has been found ideal not only in space available and large, open, flexible quality of that space, but, all of the little service spaces this kind of building would need are there in the Armory. On a map 'of the campus, Pattee Library the symbol of recorded knowledge, Old Main —the symbol of organized and administered knowledge, and the Armory possibly the symbol' of disseminated. knowl edge could begin to form the core of what this University wants to become not a fa cility for training, but an in strument for education, ex pessed by the grouping and interior workings of the build ings -that make up the Univer sity. If the publicity for exhibi tions were to be handled cor rectly. Penn State might not only rise in academic and cul tural stature within the state, but become a model for other universities.
