Give 'Quite a Show'
If you weren’t in Hershey on Friday, you
missed The Greatest Show on Earth.
This show had everything. It was serious, but
at the same time - it was a farce. It was exciting;
but it was also-dull. - - ~:
All of this was brought to Chocolatetnwn,
USA, by George Wallace and his American Inde
uendent Party. And the Hershey Arena hasn’t put
on such a display since its last bench-emptying
brawl during an ice hockey game.
The show got underway even before Wallace
was introduced as “The next President of the
United States.” A combo which could have been
labeled Clyde Appledung and the Hicksville Moo-
Moos offered music, country style, while the people
entered the arena. f
A round of “God Bless America” followed. It
was amusing to watch these patriotic people who
want to “Stand Up for America” many were
mumbling and looking around at each other, em
barrassed, because they didn’t know the words to
the song.
Some 30 Wallace Girls were circulating in the
crowd, carrying buckets for contributions. Later,
during Wallace’s speech, they stood at the side of
the stage, squealing and clapping in appropriate
spots.
“Are you going to vote for Wallace?” one of
the-girls was asked.
“Oh, you bet,” she answered. “He’s the only one

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 29, 1968

Collegian Managing Editor
Status
Schweiker Award
The Democratic Chairman of Centre
County yesterday attacked the decision to
present Rep. Richard M. Schweiker (R-
Pa.) with honorary membership in a
senior men’s hat society.
“I firmly believe,” said Mrs. Marie
Garner, Democratic chairman, ‘‘that
President (Eric A.) Walker is using poor
judgment in permetting political views
to be so strongly, demonstrated near elec
tion time.”
Mrs. Garner added. ‘‘This is not the
first time that President Walker has al
lowed Republican political views to be
demonstrated at the University. He did
the same think earlier this year by com
plimenting Ray Schafer for the allocation
of funds to Penn State.
“The allocation was endorsed by Dem
ocratic legislators and did not need
Shafer’s approval. Shafer held up the
funds to force the Democratic legislators
to go along with his tax program.
“The Democrats cooperated with this
in order to have the University ap
propriation allocated; it amounts to
blackmail by Gov. Shafer. Walker’s later
praise of the governor is a poor and un
warranted stand.”
Mrs. Garner was responding to the re
cent announcement that Skull and Bones
will present an honorary membership to
Schweiker Saturday during halftime
ceremonies of the Penn State-Army
game, three days before Election Day.
Schweiker is running against incum
bent Democrat Joseph S. Clark for elec
tion to the U.S. Senate. His selection by
Skull and Bones was announced last week
as p«art of initial Homecoming plans.
Mrs. Garner demanded clarification of
Mock Presidential Election Set
Whether you’re 21 or not,
you can still vote in the
presidential mock election and
referendum.
Sponsored by the University
Union Board, the election will
be held tomorrow and Thurs
day across campus. Voting
machines will be located in
North, South, East and West
dining halls, in the Pollock
Union Building, on the ground
floor of the Hetzel Union Build
ing and on Pollock Road on the
MaU.
All polls in the dining areas
will be open from 11:30 to 1:30
and from 4:30 to 6:30. Polls on
the ground floor of the HUB
and on the - Mall will be open
from 11:00 to 4:00. Town stu
dents will have to vote on
campus, but they are not
restricted to the HUB and
Mall.
Previously sponsored by the
Undergraduate Student
Myers said be will , ask Charles L. Lewis, vice
president for student affairs, this week to sanction
TIM as Penn State's rent control board if Homer’s
bill is approved.
State Agency TIM
If TIM could act as a rent control-board it
would be a local agency of the state and would
work in conjunction with the proposed state rent
control board, Myers explained.
Homer decided to make his proposal after
touring State College apartments last week with
TIM representatives. He referred to the -apartments
as “unfit for human beings,” naming ’University
professor and State College landlord Shiou-Chuan
Sun as “the biggest offender.”
A grievance committee, made Up of students
in Sun’s apartments, recently threatened Sun with
a rent strike unless improvements were made.
TIM has given Sun up to the end of this month
to make the improvements.
Sun: 'Minimal Repairs'
“Dr. Sun has made minimal-repairs,” Myers
said. “They have been evident in those places
where students have complained.
“As far as lowering rents, Dr. Sun has been
extremely unsympathetic,” Myers- continued.
“He is not the only one. There are many oth
ers like him and they will be coming under fire
very soon,” Myers said.
TIM is starting a referendum to ask-students
how they feel about a rent control board..
He said, “As a town Congressman (of the
Undergraduate Student Government) I disagree
with what I understand of this plan. We’re putting
the-cart "before the horse
“We’ve got to get this man to sponsor this
legislation. We’ve got to lobby as' an organiza
tion and we have to get students to write to their
congressmen,” Klasky continued.
Klasky said that TIM does nofhave the" time
to operate as a rent control board. He wants TIM
to organize student support behind Homer to' get
the bill passed. ’
Homer will also present a bill calling for the
end ot age discrimination in renting apartments.
Myers said that a number of landlords .will only
rent to graduate students.
According to Myers the better built apart
hients and the less expensive ones are often re
served for graduate (students. ; i-j-.k- , !

the award to all news media. “It has
been confused with the Distinguished
Alumnus Award presented annually by
the University Board of Trustees.” she
charged, “but it cannot be considered re
presentative of the sentiments of the
Penn State faculty and student body, who
have endorsed the re-election of Sen.
Clark.*’
James Kefford. president of Skull and
Bones, responded, “Of course. Skull and
Bones has no power to give anyone a
University endorsement.”
Kefford explained that the honorary
membership, which is an annual presen
tation, is not always given to a University
alumnus, although Schweiker did gra
duate from Penn State in 1952.
“To the best of my knowledge,” he
said, “confusion of this with the Dis
tinguished AlUmns Award is simply an
error.”
Until last year, when Gov, Raymond P.
Shafer received the award, it had been
given only to University personnel.
Laurence H. Lattman, professor of
geology, and James W. Dunlop, professor
of music education, are among past reci
pients.
Kefford said that the decision to make
the presentation Nov. 2 was based only on
tht fact that Schweiker is planning to at
tend the Homecoming game.
The award, he explained, is given to an
outstanding Pennsylvanian who has made
large contributions in the field of educa
tion. In announcing the award, Skull and
Bones' said of Schweiker that “Since his
graduation, Congressman Schweiker has
continued to strive for his alma mater.
He has helped to make Penn State the
fine institution it is today.”

‘No Candidates Acceptable*
If neither Humphrey, Nixon
or' Wallace is suitable to the
voters, they will be able to pull
a lever signifying "no can
didates acceptable.” Voters al
so will be able to write in a
candidate’s name.
In addition, there will be five
referendum questions on the
ballot. The purpose of these,
according to UUB Elections
Commissioner Jeff Lessing, is
to "try to determine how
strongly Penn State students
feel on what we consider very
pertinent questions.” The ques
tions range from international
subjects to topics important to
this campus.
The first question is; ‘‘Do
you approve of Mayor Daley’s
methods of maintaining law
and order at the Democratic
Convention in Chicago?”
Guns, Forum, Blacks
The other questions are:
"Are you in favor of the
registration of guns as a me
thod of gun control?”
“Do you think President
Walker should engage in un
open forum with the student
body specifically to discuss
those questions raised at the
Free Speech Movement?”

Tickets
Gone
The last of the 17,100 student
tickets for Saturday’s homecoming
game with Army were sold yester
day, according to ticket manager
Richie Lucas.
Although students still' filled
the hallway outside the Rec Hall
ticket office, the last of the tickets
were gone at 3 p.m. Standing room
tickets will go on sale at 12:15 p.m.-
Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
“Last year we had three games
with student tickets left over,”
Lucas said in explaining the situa
tion. “Only the UCLA and North
Carolina State games sold out the
student sections.”
it conies to something like' a
presidential election.”
Voters will be asked to
specify whether they are over
or under 21 years of age. Also*
voters will be asked their sex. ■
All of this, according to
Alexander, is to help in the
planned interpretation of the
election results. “Results will
be compared, to a minor
degree, to the survey taken by
Phillip Klopp and the sociology
department last spring,” Alex
ander said.
Klopp is going to make a
comparison of the results of
this election to the results of
the survey. In the survey, stu
dents were asked to answer
questions pertaining to their
political leanings.
Comparison Difficult
A comparison will be dif
ficult, though, Alexander said,
because the poll was a random
sampling of student- opinion
and nearly ’ all students who
were asked to fill out the ques
tionnaire did so. On the other
hand. Alexander said, .“this
election is open to everyone
and it will discriminate against
apathetic students.” ;
Lessing said he expects ,a
much better turnout. for this.,
election than there was for the
USG elections in the fall. :
“I’m curious to find out how
many people will come out and
vote when they actually know
who they are voting for,” Les
sing said. “This is something
substantial, and I think the
students will come on strong.”
