PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion U.S. Senate Race: Yesterday we presented 1 the view*-of the candidates for gove -nor and endorsed William S. Scranton, the!Republican candi date,-for the governorship of the state. ' Today we will discuss the views of the two candidates for US. Senator—Demo cratic incumbent Joseph S. Clark and his Republican challenger James-E. Van Zandt. Both candidate* have spoken to student groups on campus. Clark spoke during the summer term and Van Zandt appeared on campus several weeks ago. The Dally Col legian has followed this race for senator very closely and after considering the issues involved, we endorse Sen. Joseph S. Clark for re-election, j (/ We support Clark with the reservation attendant to all endorsements—that we, do not agree with all of his views nor with every vote he has cast since his first elec tion in 1956. But, we believe he can better represent the views of jthe citizens of this state, while working i in i the best interests of the entire nation, than can his Republi-, can opponent, Rep. VamZandt. The senatorial canipaign has evolved mainly around three issues: the declining economic position of the state coupled with a high unemployment irate, Cuba and the voting records of the two candidates in Congress. • ; r PENNSYLVANIA'S ECONOMY - On the question of; the declining econ omy of the state and th!e fact that Pennsyl vania has the highest unemployment rale of any of the large industrial states, both candidate? have stressed that more action, both on the state and federal levels, must be, taken to solve these problems. In this yoar's session of the 87th Con gress, Van Zandt voted Jot bills to aid depressed areas, the manpower retraining act and the public works bllL These three bills were designed to aid areas of the country, like Pennsylvania, with a high /unemployment rate. He also has said that much of Pennsyl vania’s unemployment can be blamed on an unrealistic allotment of defense con tracts. He claims that since the Democratic administration controls the allotment of these contracts and since Pennsylvania is not receiving its due i share of these con tracts, Clark has not been active enough in luring these contracts!to the state. But where Van Zandt has been sup porting these bills which are very impor tant to his former Congressional district, Clark has been introducing them and has been instrumental ip I the passage of sev eral of the recent “aid to depressed areas’’ bills. Ths manpower retraining act passed In this past session of Congress was co-spon sored by Clark as was an emergency public works act. He also has supported the other bills giving aid to depressed areas. Clark has bfeen bposting tourism pro grams as a replacement of the state’s busi ness losses. He has answered l^ an Zandt’s charges on defense spending by stating that during the next fiscal year the'state will . Successor to The Free Lance, ext.

UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA Clark Backed receive to a trillion dollars ih defense, spending and that the state did not receive any more defense spending under 4 Eisenhower’s Republican administration. We strongly believe that Sen. Clark, in six years, has done an excellent job in working for increased aid to de pressed areas.] We would like to see him returned to the Senate to continue his Work in this area. ! CUBA . The Cuban situation has been a hotly debated issue! between the two senatorial candidates. Before the President invoked the quarantine of Cuba, Van Zandt had strongly urged that just! such action, be taken; where Clark gvas. opposed to a blockade before the president announced such 'a move. ( T j . , We ' have editorially supported 1 the quarantine of Cuba. We fejel that 1 Clark was guilty of a serious misjudgement of the -situation" in Cuba in-that jjust seven hours before the President announced the quar antine, Clark; said he opposed suc-h action. But, we also believe that he was following, lead of the President in not contem plating, serious action until it was proven that serious Obstacles to, the peace of this nation were being set up jin Cuba. VOTING RECORDS Both candidates have experience in the Congress! Vair Zandt has been in : the House for 22years; Clarka senator for six. In their experience they have faced head on the majorjissues of the day. In the last Congress, Clark voted against lhe.lax reform bill after the Senate dropped the withholding provision on in terest and dividend income, but went along with most other New Frontier measures, including foreign trade expansion! and medicare, F " . j Van Zandt voted for the establishment of a Department of Urban Affairs arid the UN bond issue. He opposed the Reciprocal Trade Act, Withholding of taxes on; divi dends and interest income and the omnibus farm program. He declined to answer yes or no to a Congressional Quarterly poll on medicare,' which j never came to a House, vote. But/he Hid!say there was a need for further federal legislation, b.ut also that the states—especially Pennsylvania.—should do a better job of Implementing the Kerr- Mills Act. All in all Clark supported President Kennedy 92 percent of, the time while Van Zandt ; supported-the president 64 per cent of the time, j ' / Ws believe that Clark's voting record, especially his vote for medicare. Is more of an indication of the views of the citizens of the state add also reflects action in the best interest of the entire country. The la|ter is evidenced by his vote for the Re ciprocal Trade Act, which Van Zandt op posed. In collecting our views, We believe Senator Clark has served the state and the nation well in the’ past six years and should be returned to his office. We urge that each student! attending this University, show his individual pref erence by voting today in the campus mock election being held from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.- in the Hetzel Union Building and that those students who are registered to vote in'the general election Tuesday- consider heavily the issues involved. i HERBERT WITHER | Business Manager j. Letters to the Editor EI-lI!iiil8lS Froth Alum from Minnesota Calls Ban ‘lmmature ‘ Action TO THE EDITOR: I just returned from a Homecoming Weekend at e Pain State, and 1 feel a deep per sonal sense of loss. My loss, of - course, is in reference to the com plete censoring of Froth-by re sponsible, well-meaning members of jthe Penn. State University ad ministration! I-feel that the final action taken by those people re sponsible was as immature an act as] was the lack- of editorial re sponsibility on the part of-the Penn State Froth co-editors in •the September issue. I-agree with several members of the adminis tration whom I recently spoke to who suggested a complete change of editorial policy. The responsi : bility of. editorial policy should ' remain in the bands of the ad visor who should certainly be - able to find the time to check all issues , prior to monthly publica tion. During the last 52 yean of th* existence of the Penn State Froth, I era suite many things were wril s Dress Edict Questioned TO THE EDITOR: We fail to be lieve it! At our Monday night unit meeting in McElwain, we, the undersigned, • along with the rest of our dorm presidents, were told' that “dresses only" is the latest edict concerning dress for special dinners. Skirts and sweat ers of any kind (worn with heels and hose) are considered im proper attire. L > In fact. Mrs.- Leiper, ths Me- Elwain-Simmons community co ordinator, stated in this new rule that 9 , if we girls choose not to wear dresses with ths usual heels srsl hose, the night scheduled for Hie' special dinner is our "night to eat out." J : We vehemently protest this new regulation. We feel that a presentable skirt and sweater outfit worn with’ heels and hose should be acceptable to our staff. We are paying for all our meals. We do not believe thai we should be told to “eat I out,” incurring further expenses, merely because our coordinator's choice of din ner drfes& does -not Coincide with that of the' girls in the dorm.

Self-expression bo matter what, form is vital to man and to Penn State. ; Let’s fight for Froth! —Lois Nelsoe. *W WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 31. 1962 ten from Bine lo time that wets offensive and irresponsible, but generally speaking, the more than 400 issues- published' contained’- farcical, corn-ball, and' satirical typo humor. It seems quite unfair to me as one of the several thousand alumni of both Froth and Penn State, that this type-of final ac tion should come so swiftly and completely to an important part of Penn State campus life. There is no doubt in my mind that the September issue of Froth was not a credit to the University, but neither was the decision by the administration which cer tainly should exercise more ma ture judgement in. these matters. I hope that , these in authority ■ will reconsider their decision and will again permit a reorganized -Froth to‘operate as a credit to • a great Penn State University that we all held high as an insti tution of education and tolerance. —Ronald Lee Bafier - 1955 Froth Business-Manages ter the dining hall- for thess "savoiy” special, dinners?

How many- of you students have realized that although the University has been kind enough ta give us this day off from class es, they have . also been kind enough to let us make up thess classes on Dec. 3. «It seems to us that'if the Uni versity' is going to re-schedule these, classes-anyway, why have’ a vacation? It would be just as convenient for the administration to hold classes on Thanksgiving Day and. move up the' final exam period one day.; Perhaps next year the Uni versity administrators will work out an adequate arrangement for this particular holiday. * —Florence Keeseimen. *SS —Madeline Smith. *B9 —Linda Sieg, *65 . —Calhi Sender!, '65
