The organization also met on Thursday to discuss plans for this year. The Students United for Reform in Government and Education planned Strategy for the Freshmen Class Elections. Ron Shulz, head of SURGE and CGA President, stated, that for the first time in the history of government in this college, representatives from the Community Government Association will meet with the College Board of Trustees, on November 6. The speculated agenda will include discussion of the status of the campus radio station and the Student Union building to be built in the near future. Mr. Shultz also hopes to talk about the relationship of the president of the college with the College Council. He indicates that he will not shave his beard for this important and unprecedented meeting. The College Council meetings are open to the students.

Last Saturday, Oct. 26, twentythree students from James Percey's Political Parties and Elections course conducted a poll of political preferences among the registered voters of Columbia County. A stratified sample, one percent in relation to the number of registered voters in the county, was polled according to age, sex and geographic location. A cross section was established and the following results were reported. Nixon Carries County The poll shows that Richard Nixon will carry Columbia County with 51.2% of the vote and Hubert Humphrey obtaining 36.4%. 12.4% of the population will cast their votes for George Wallace. In the senatorial race, Joseph Clark shows a slight lead over Dick Schweiker, having 47.3% of the ballots cast. Schweiker will receive 39.7%. The remainder of the votes, 16.8%, will go to Frank Gaydosh of the Constitutional Party. In the local elections, the poll indicated that the Incumbent assemblyman, Kent Shelhamer, will defeat Emerson Woolever, receiving 65.2% to Woolever's 32.2%. The independent, Rhinard , will carry the other 2.4%. These figures were interpreted into a total amount of votes according to an estimated projection of voter turnout. The class speculated that Nixon will carry Columbia County by 3300 votes, Clark by 800, and Shelhamer by 3000. Nixon In Trouble "Accordin g to this Poll , Nixon is in trouble in Penns ylvania ," Mr. Pe rcoy said, In 1080 Nixon lost Pennsylvania but had 62,2% of the vote in Columbia County , carryin g the area by almost 6000 votes.

Article I — Effective Budgetary Management Effective Budgetary Management shall be given primary consideration by the class officers.

This article is being written to bring to the attention of the student body several new rulings which have been set forth by the Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency (PHEAA) in its administration of the Pennsylvania State Scholarship Program. The effects of these rulings are rather far-reaching on certain state scholarship recipients in regard to housing status, recent model cars, disciplinary probation, marriage, and acceleration of the undergraduate* program through summer school attendance. A bit of background would be helpful to the reader before a discussion of these issues is begun. The Pennsylvania State Scholarship Program has grown rapidly since it first began about four years ago. During the current school year, at Bloomsburg State College alon e, approximately 1100 students will receive almost $700,000 through this program. This is an average of well over $600 per student. Most of the recipients are members of the freshman and sophomore classes, so further increases in the total number of awardees on our campus are predictable. As one might expect, the program did not reach its present level of operation without some growing pains. It has been necessary for the PHEAA to make a number of changes and adjustments as problems and criticisms have arisen. Since the program began, the agency has: (1) improved its service by placing regional representatives throughout the state, (2) required annual determination of financial need for all awardees instead of just once at the time of the initial application (3) required federal income tax statements to assure better determination of need. (4) altered need analysis standards to assure the inclusion of more students from lower-income families. These changes and ' many others have been made in an attempt to assure fairness in assigning awards and closer attention to awards to students who do not fit what could be described as the standard situation: single, recent high school graduate, no car, college - approved housing, good standing in all respects. This attention to the "non-standard" situ- ation led to some of the more recent rulings. 1. Housing status. The PHEAA establishes^ resident budget and a commuter budget for each college or "university. For residents, this budget includes tuition, required fees of all students, room and board while for commuters it consists of tuition, required fees of all students and an allowance for commutation expenses. At Bloomsburg State College the yearly budget figures are $1050 for residents and $500 for commuters. It should be noted that the PHEAA set $800 as the maximum award this year in spite of any school budgets in An award to excess of that amount. ¦ a student is based upon the agency's estimates of a family's ability to meet whichever budget figure is appropriate for that student. The interpretation which shduld be noted in the one that requires students under optional housing to be categorized - as commuters. There is some background to this situation which is too lengthy to be included here, but it is the reason for almost 150 Bloomsburg State College students being mistakenly assigned as commuters this year. The mistake was detected and most have had their awards revised by this time. The PHEAA will be sending them §pe» cial ehecks to correct their awards. Anyone who suspects that he is being carried by the PHEAA in the wrong housing status or who knows that his housing status will change for second semester, should report to the Financial Aid Office immediately. 2. Recent model cars. Any students having resident status who own or have fulltime use of a recent model car (1966 or newer) must justify this ownership or use to the PHEAA or face possible loss of their scholarships. 3. Disciplinary probation. Students on disciplinary probation will lose any state scholarship checks which are issued during the probation period. Where suspension preceded the disciplinary probation, the PHEAA will not consider renewal of the student's scholarship until one year after good standing has been achieved. Notification of the student's good standing must be made in a letter from the Dean of Students to the PHEAA. 4. Marriage. Married students or those contempl ating marriage should know that they may be required to submit their parents' federal income tax statements as well Friday Ed.

BOOKWORM Richard Nixon in his six years in Congress, and after he was Vice President "made little or no impact on public policy. So he is as close to an unknown quantity as we are likely ever to see as the Presidential nominee of a majo r American national party." That is the conclusion political science Professor Nelson W. Polsby, of the University of California at Berkeley, draws in his new book The Citizen's Choice: Humphrey or Nixon, (Public Affairs Press). "Humphrey 's record of public services... shows him to be the most energetic, fa r-sighted and constructive politician to offer himself to the voters of this country ..." the California Professor writes. "Richard Nixon's record by comparison, with any reasonable norm , much less than with Humphrey's towering achievements, is puny and indistinct." Polsby states that Nixon has "an extraordinarily barren record. Nixon's record of performance in matters of urgent concern simply does not exist. Where Humphrey has advocated and then with consumate skill and patience accomplished worthy public goals, Nixon has merely disparaged. The main monuments to Nixon's public service are speeches denouncing such proposals as the Peace Corps, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, Medicare —all of which, incidently, Humphrey sponsored." The author comments that "there is a kind of high school debate club quality about much of what Mr. Nixon says on questions of public policy. He seems to be unable or unconcerned to focus on whatever social problem a proposal is supposed to ameliorate ... He rivets his attention instead on what he takes to be the j ugular of whoever made the proposal. Where Humphrey seeks solutions, Nixon seeks to allocate blame and score points." Polsby, a Humphrey supporter, praises him for "making liberalism both respectable and effective within the Senate. " He credits Humphrey with leading civil rights legislation, introducing in the Senate the "cornerstone of the poverty program," sponsoring Medicare legislation, "investing the field of disarmament" as a topic of legislation , pioneering the Food for Peace program , initiating efforts for a treaty banning nuclear weapons testing, and sponsoring legislation to feed the hungry in the United States. Especially revealing is Nixon's own stock-taking as published in his book Six Crises. In only one crisis does the public "get a glimpse of Nixon the public servant as opposed to the ceremonial Nixon of the political Nixon. " Polsby writes that what distinguished Nixon "as a public man is precisely his involvement in situations where excitement was high and the publicity great, but where little or nothing affecting the welfare of mankind was directly at stake and no real commitments to public policy were at issue." According to Polsby, Nixon "has been the champion of little or nothing in his public life." Add ressing himself to "liberal idealists" who are thinking of sitting out the Presidential election, Professor Polsby said: "Earlier, I argued that the choice between two evils ("All mortal men, politicians included , are less than perfect") this year 1) was no different from the imperfect choices available to us in most — perhaps — presidential elections, and 2) still provide ample room to distinguish between the records, the impulses and prospective policies of the two candidates. I want now to add two other thoughts. First, nonparticipation will not have the consequences contemplated by those attracted to the idea. Withdrawal from the election will decrease, not increase, the influence of nonparticipants in the affairs of the party and the nation. Second, even more important, their nonparticipation will harm innocent bystanders. "Idealistic liberals are generally committed to decent, enlightened and far-sighted public policy, and so I cannot view with equanimity the medium and long-range decline of their influence within the Democratic Party. This, however, will be the likely consequence of their failure to participate. A(n) ... abdication by idealistic Democrats can only increase the probability that we will elect and maintain in office Democrats and Republicans less enlightened about public policy than we otherwise might have. " Professor Polsby has pointed out that the marginal Democratic Congressional seats, mostly held by the liberals, "almost all will be decided not by the individual efforts of the candidates, but by the fate of the national ticket in that area." The influence of the national ticket is especially strong in the 121 nonsouthern Congressional districts where voters can vote a straight party ticket simply by pushing one lever, he said.
