Economics And The National
Political Campaign
There are a number of popular explanations
of how people are going to vote November 3.
WPA workers, for instance, are conceded to
Roosevelt. Regular Republicans will vote for
Landon, regular Democrats for Roosevelt.
Conservatives are presumably with the Republicans, liberals with the Democrats.
The exact truth of these presumptions we
neither affirm, deny, nor attempt to qualify.
With the first two we attempt no comment,
for the one about liberals and conservatives
we have this to say—that with those voters
informed on economic affairs, the economics
of the New Deal seem the vital issue in the
campaign.
(Said Governor Landon: " In the early days
of our Republic most of the laws regulating
business were enacted by the States. As the
years went by, conditions became more complex and gradually the Federal government
became active in protecting the economic
freedom and welfare of our citizens. As
a result we have our laws on pure foods,
public health, banking, transportation, workmen's compensation, safety appliances, monopolies and unfair trade practices, and more
recently our laws regulating public utilities
ami the issuance of securities."
Governor Landon states that this is an
" imposing list " of laws for our economic welfare, " It has marked America as a progressive nation." But the New Deal economic
measures, the Republican candidate maintains,
are a different kind of legislation. They tend
to give the Federal government too much
power, and smack of a socialistic philosophy
that is wholly un-American. Therefore to
Republicans the New Deal measures have become experimentation of a rather dangerous
kind. New Deal expenditures have become waste,
with the figure id' the politician Farley looming in the background.
To President Roosevelt, on the other hand,
the administration policies have been an extension of the imposing list of economic legislation to meet the i ds of today. Lei who
will call, it socialism. The expenditures id'
the last three years have become lo the administration an investment in America's future.
That Roosevelt get.-, instruction from Moscow is absurd; that he could make the Tinted
•Slates into a socialistic state even if he wanted
to is being blind to practical American polities. Thai Landon is a scheming reactionary
is likewise absurd; and thai he could cheek
entirely the increase in government regulation
«)f economic uffuirs is to overlook the increasing complexity of our civilization.
The campaign will probably he largely decided mi partisan grounds as usual. Mul we
litter the pious hope that those voters who
jire free enough from party ties, ami who will
carry certain doubtful stales, will decide the
election on the basis of economic issues.
A n d t h e n t h e r e w a s the f r e s h m a n g i r l w h o w e n t u p

tier t h e only w a y y o u c a n g e t g o o d m a r k s i n college is b y

Beamed the f rosli:
" Y o u know, professor, you a r e
t h e most w o n d e r f u l F r e n c h p r o f e s s o r I h a v e even s e e n ! "

STATE COLLEGE NEWS, OCTOBER 23, 1936
Varied Events Have Made Up
Campus Days in Past Years
On October 23, 1920, State college
had " a real get-together on the
college campus for a day of sport"
under the direction of tho Physical
Education club. Included in the
events were a cross-country run for
men, obstacle races, tug-o'-war,
potato races, and a basketball game.
At night there was a sing followed
by dancing, with music, furnished by
the Milne High orchestra. This was
the first annual Campus day.
The first campus queen was
crowned in 1P22, when other features included somersault racing and
a bizarre relay of Eskimo-walking
and elephant-tunning.
This first
queen, a member of Myskania, as all
but three of her successors have
been, was attended by five girls in
long white robes with Greek headdresses of their class colors, and
was crowned with a coronet of autumn leaves. Stunts were given for
tho first time this year, too.
In 1023, the scheme of things revolved around a circus in the gymnasium. All the class stunts were
molded along these lines, each being
an act in the circus. Clowns tilled
in tin; gaps.
In 1924, the highlight of the day
was a football game with Colgate
freshmen. State scored a moral victory only, according to tho ' N E W S , '
the score being 33-0 in favor of
Colgate.
Campus day has seen many
changes since Myskania took it under its wing in 1021. The years
1028-30 were so well-attended that
it became -necessary to issue tickets
for admittance.
Last year, in accordance with an
amendment
to the
constitution,
Campus day was transferred to the
control of student council who will
supervise it this year,
OPTICIANS.

And on land and sea,
from coast to coast... with
millions of smokers, men
and women... when they
take time out to enjoy a
cigarette it's
"Smoke-O . . .

Chesterfields are milder...
and what's more they've
got a hearty good taste that
leaves a man satisfied.
