ee ed Con W2.1,-
(Reprinted from thte og,ontz Campus
issue).
On March 15, 1969, the University Senate at State College
adopted a rule that blatantly violates the rights of free speech and
a free. press guaranteed by the United States Bill of Rights.
W-20, as the rule has been coded, states in part: "The Univer
sity shall bar from sale or distribution on its campuses any publi
cation which in its opinion violates the civil libel laws. The Uni
versity shall also bar from sale or distribution on its campuses any
nublication which in its opinion is incompatible with the Univer
sity's standards."
We believe that Senate Rule W-20 must undergo grave revis
ions or ocmplete abolition so that true freedom of the press may be
restored to Penn State and its Commonwealth Campuses. Whatever
means necessary to effect this change should be utilized.
Responsible criticisms and pressures from literary organiza
tions are not sufficient to change W-20. This was demonstrated quite
plainly on March 4, 1969, before W-2!() was adopted. The faculty of
the School of Journalism wrote a letter to the Senate condemning
the rule. The letter articulately listed inconsistencies, ambiguities,
and - false presumption found in W-20. It closed by saying, "We be
lieve that nothing -could be more compatible with the standards of
a university than a policy of nonregulation where the expression of
ideas is concerned. We urge that Rule W-20 be defeated in the Uni
versity Senate.''
A little more than a week later, Rule W-20 was adopted and
added to the Senate Policies and Rules for Undergraduate Students.
Obviously, stronger methods of protest are in order.
The effect of W-20 goes beyond the University's press and lit
erary organizations to the student body itself. The endangering of
the right of these organizations to publish what they feel approp
riate is only half of the problem. Equally, if not more so, the stu
dent body has the right to receive all available publications and to
discriminate in the purchase• of those publications for themselves.
This is. in part, the very purpose of a college education. It is
wrong, therefore, that University newspapers and magazines are
alone in the attack against W-20. Student support and petitions, if
organized and massive, could be a key factor in amending W-20.
Rule W-20 takes the right to choose ones reading matter away
from the student and puts it in the hands of a would-be omnipotent
administration. its vagueness is a clumsy guise for deliberate cen
scrship. Test cases along with student petitions and support are
needed to pressure those still backing W-20 into - revising or abol
ishing it. We, as a recognized campus newspaper, are going to pro
test the - wrongness" of Senate Rule W-20. We urge- that all stu
dents join us and do the same. ,

Conclusion: The Wicked Weed
Isn't So Wicked!
The conclusion that has been
drawn from the information in
this paper is that marijuana is not
bad in any way whatsoever for a
"The Firebugs"
At Playhouse
"The Firebugs' is an entertain
ing piece, and it is a scathing re
mark on the human situation."
That is the opinion of Martin
Gottfried. New York critic. Fel
low critics from 17 European coun
tries found it "a new and specta-
cular way of using laughs as a
vehicle for serious thinking", "a
stream-lined satire" and "a wound
spring whose nature is simply to
uncoil."
Swiss. playwright, Max Frisch,
wrote it originally in German but
its setting is in an unidentified
European country, in the home of
the typical middle class man. This
unknown country is in the midst
of ''a serious outbreak of arson and
the weakness and complacency of
the main character is its theme.
While the play seems to deal
with arson, it is more a comment
on. every social disorder. To en
courage students to acquaint
themselves with this timely satire,
the student discount rate has been
extended to cover every night of
the play.
Opening night at The Playhouse
is November 28. The show runs
through December 7th, with the
exception of Monday and Tuesday,
December 1 and 2. Reservations
are now being accepted at The
Playhouse, Box 2042, Erie, Pa.
16512. Orders should include a
check or money order plus a
stamped, self-addressed envelope.
Tickets are priced at $3.00 for
Wednesday and Thursday nights,
and $3.50 for Friday, Saturday
and Sunday nights. Students re
ceive a 75c discount on all nights
for this •production.

The project was arranged in
conjunction with Helen Foust, di
rector of counseling and pupil per

Philadelphia Board of Education.
"We expect about. 1.000 students
to participate," Culmer said -"In
addition we will have about four
representativves from each of the
colleges on hand throughout the
day to work with the high school
students. This will give interested
faculty members a chance to con
tinue their recruiting efforts and
participate in the final selection
of students who will come to Penn
State." . - •
