Rumors of Walker's ’ Town'
Bar vs. Voting Registration
Recently my wife registered to vote; They
/did not ask her for proof of age or residence,
they just took her word for it. It seems odd

Infant Vets Show Strength;
Political Debate In Backroom
By JIM WOODCOCK
Collegian Staff Writer
“Backroom politics” gen
erally has a rather evil con
notation, but there are ex
ceptions.
Tuesday evening about 150
persons jammed into the
back room of the Rathskellar
on S. Pugh Street, and there
was no doubt in any one’s
mind that they were there to
talk politics.
The Veterans’ Organiza
tion of the University is still
in its infant stage, but Tues
day it began to show a sur
prising amount of strength.
Before the meeting was
over, the organization reaf
firmed its endorsement of
three' candidates of USG
seats representing town resi
dents, and organized write-in
campaigns for two candidates
living on campus.
Candidates from Group
The three town candidates.
Lee Simmons. Marty ' Finan
and Dexter Thompson, and
the two write-in candidates.
Fred Christina from Pollock
A, and Stan Malis from Nit
tany - Porter - Shunk, are all
members of the nine month
old organization.
The endorsement itself is
not unusual, but involved in
the endorsement is a general

approval of the candidates*
platform. According to the
three town candidates, the
platform, although stated in
rather general terms, is a de
parture from the ordinary.
Speaking for the trio,
Thompson said that with
“real student rights’* come
responsibilities.
“There is more to making
demands on the system than
just saying, ‘we want!*” he
said.
There is a connection be-|

platform, “a strong and active
USG.”
Responsible to Students
Simmons said any elected
officer, whether in public or
in student affairs, “has a re
sponsibility to represent the
desires of his constituency,
regardless of whether or not
those desires conform to pres
ent policies.”
Finan spoke brieflj- about

“This plank in itself is im
portant to all of us.” he said,
“but we are as interested, if
not more interested, in show
ing that it is possible to work
within the system.”
The two write-in campaigns
were organized at the end of
the meeting after several
members present said .they
would not have any candi
date to vote for in their resi
dence areas.
