Steve Lewis and John Greer wrote a letter to the Cub
last week which we put on the front page. Criticism ruffs
blown our way, and it is necsseary to rationalize the place
ment of this letter on the front page.
• Sometimes it is better to sacrifice good journalism for
the Tireater ends, which is popularly called muckraking. To
the common man, "muckraking" is detrimental, but in the
realistic sense, it is a watchdog on (in this case) your stu
dent legislators.
As is the apparent case in the American society today,
the Student Government Association is comprised of work
ers such as Steve, John, Roy Kirkley, Janet Atkin, and Doug
Brower. The remainder of the membership is the SGA's
silent majority. The majority of the members have no under
standing of the problems which are presented to them to
solve, they merely cast their votes.
Steve and John's letter was a testimony from within
the structure of the SGA to the lameness of our "legisla
tors." The "shock value" of the article balanced the jour
nalistic eror of its placement.
Some people cannot be moved (in any direction) by
proper English, therefore, every country in the world has
derived dialects or low-grade vernacular systems. This was
a fine display of American "underground vernacular." ,
It i.true, that the underground papers finally degener
ated to the althOst total use of this - structured (?) language.
But, we must consider the fact that Erie is six years behind
the rest of - the country, therefore the words "Balls" and
"ass" still shock rainy persons. _ _ _
Hopefully they will outgrow this immature attitude,
but until they are able to be moved by pure logical reporting,
such antics on our part will be carried on whenever we deem
it necessary to generate a reaction of any sort. Therefore
no apologies to anyone are offered. IF a dirty word offends
you, you still have a lot of growing up to do.

THE NITTANY CUB
On Wednesday, April 14, 1970
Norval Reese, the man running
against State Senator William
Sesler for the Democratic nomi
nation to the United States Sen
ate, gave a speech in the lecture
hall of the Reed Union Building
here at Behrend. While briefly
stating his position on the pollu
tion and ecology problem, Mr.
Reese added that Senator Sesler
had not introduced one piece of
legislation against pollution dur
ing the past nine years in office
—thus implying Sesler's sterility
in office.
I think this idea is slightly
twisted, to say the least, and is
probably on the verge of slander.
I think it has. no relevance to
Senator Sesler's ability to• repre
sent the people of Pennsylvania
in the United States Senate. Ses
ler has nothing to do with the
Senate committees on • Public
Health, Water or Air Pollution.
He is, instead, a member of the
Senate Education Committee and
his records speaks for itself.
When Sesler was first elected
to the Pennsylvania Senate, in
DEAR CHARLY
(Anyone having a question on
anything, please send your que . -
tion to Charly Lee, c/o Publica
tions office, Reed TJnion Building,
Behrend Campus. All questions
will become property of the CUB
and will be eligible for printing.)
Dear Charly,
Why is it that at the end of
the lunch hoUr there is hardly
any food left?
Dear G. 1.,
To answer that question I
would like to introduce you to a
brand-new, original and different
concept; the early-bird gets the
worm.' I imagine that if, the cafe
teria staff kept an adequate sup
ply of all the food selections, then
at the close of the lunch-hour
they have a hell-of-a-lot of food
on . their hands. Some food stuffs
cannot be stored and reused.
Thinking about the saying that
the early bird gets the worm, re
minds. me of the time that Doug
Brower was eating a cafeteria
baked potato, and guess what he
found . .
Dear Charly,
Who do we write to if we have
a complaint about a teacher?
Signed, C.F.L.
To simplify_ matters somewhat,
if you have a complaint. about a
particular teacher that you have,
write out the complaint and eith
er send it to me in the mail, or
else give it to me when you see
me around the campus. Make
sure that the letter is in a seal
ed envelope and that. the letter is
signed. I will make sure it is de
livered to the correct administra
tor. This is on the level.
Signed, Charly
Dear Charly,
If you're majoring in something
like Art why does Penn State
make you take courses like Poli
tical Science and Biology?

Dear F.A., .
I think that if Ronnie Reagan
had taken •a few Pali. Sol. courses,
he'd have a better understanding
of how the government functions.
I also think that if William
Hill had taken a few courses in
biology, he would see the danger
of environmental pollution and

Letters To The Editor
1961, he was the prime mover in
the creation of, and key to the
adoption of and application of
the Pennsylvania State Senator
ial Scholarship System. This was
the first major educational as
sistance program on any govern
mental level since Roosevelt's Na
tional Youth Administration in
19135 during the Great Depression.
However, Sesler soon found ways
to improve his own plan.• He de
solved the Senatorial Scholar
ship program and again was the
prime mover in the creation of the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency in 1967. This
system was heralded- by the Uni
ted States Department of Health,
Education and Welfare and was
a basis for a similar plan in sev
eral other states.
Let's face it, if it were not for
Senator Sesler and his P.H.E.A.A.
half of us today would be unable
to attend -Behrend and get a bet
ter education. I think Mr. Reese
should give credit where credit is
due and return to manufacturing
peanut butter cups:

As of late, the - student has been
handed much power. Some of this
power is in the form of the - priv
ilage to voice, openly, opinions;
views, and critiques- of his world,
immediate and remote. This is
the power of student criticism.
However, students fail
,to realize
that criticism is a two-fold opera
tion. It is most important that
when a student points out a de
ficiency in a school law, or gov
ernmental policy, he is under an
implied obligation to present a
better plan or way of doing some
thing. This is a very simply rule
of criticism, I know, but it's one
that is often overlooked.

What do you think is the major

Dear Editor:
I am fasting for Peace, by the
time this is printed, I will be re
covering. Maybe all I'll get out
of my three days of hunger will
be a stomachache, hopefully I will
have reaffirmed my conviction
that Peace is a good thing, hope
fully my meals will be given to
someone in greater need.
I have heard the myth that
fighting (killing) for my' country
will give me rights or, sustain
them, in any case I've heard also
that violence breeds violence. I
have listened, I have; read about
the past, I see the present violence
is spawning violence in a never
ending way.
When will people listen to the
past and see the present? People
not purple or green, but White
and Black and Red and and Yel
low people are dying. People of
the same human race.
When will educated people
clean up their environment- and
feed their children and love one
another. When will people a-ccept
the differences, . different cul
tures and ideas bring? Why is
there still a dress code for ath
letes here at Behrend? Here at
Behrend the progressive "No
Dorm Hour College", there still
exists the falacY that cutting
your hair makes you a represen
tative of Penn State.
Soiree, impowered to regulate
hair length) want me; an athlete,
to cut my hair to show respect.
Is that respect? To me it self
denial, a display of insincerity. To
look like a team member I wear
a uniform, isn't that enough?
I cannot answer apathy, at
times lam apathetic. But for
those who have read thus far;
liken and observe, it gives one
wisdom, love one another, peace
is the product, be proud and free,
appreciate what you have, change
what is bad to preserve what is
good. And come to our dances
(they are rare), come • and dance
with me to the music, come to the
phone or to my room and rap,
and the next time you see me,
flash the peace sign show me you.
care that others die or hunger
or merely exist.
With Peace, Love and Hope,
