Based on an article appearing in the current issue of the Old Main Bell in which the athletic policy of a supposedly fficticious college is satirized, the newspaper story does not hesitate to brand the article as Outbreak of tha"smoldering feud between Penn State College undergraduates' and Director Hugo Bezdek and . his Penn State athletic policy" and'coneludes with the statement, "Undergraduate sentiment has run strongly, indicating a general strike if drastic action is: taken against the author of the article or the . editnii Of the' tnagazine." That such statements arc 6 deliberate attempt U. "color" news is quite obvious to any student on' the csini: pus. There may be a "smoldering fead," . but it is so slight that it cannot truthfully be played up as some thing ready to burst at a moment's notice; and' to inform the general public that a general strike is' impkiding 'should drastic action be' taken is certainly gross ex aggeration. In the first place, tlieie has been no indica tion that "drastic action" is planned by admiiiistratort, and student sentiment toward a general strike has beeri kept very quiet if it exists. There is no objection to criticism of the present athletic policy. Certainly it is the right of the student to express his own opinions and unquestionably those of others as was done in the Bell article. The objection, however, is to the false interpretation given the criti cism such as appeared in the Pittsburgh newspaper. Certainly the newspaper's interpretation doeS not re- Ilea' the situation on the campus, an iMpresSion that will be gained by an outsider who reads the story. The College as a unit gains nothing by such publicity, nor do the critics of the present athletic policy , profit to' any' great extent from it. It's likely that the newspaper is not so muth at fault as are those from whom the newspaper Of thd• ar ticle. The interpretation presented in the neWSpiiper story is a natural• one, if the facts attending the article's publication are not known, and it's questionable whether they were to the writer Of this newspaper article: Piitentially the article had the power to incite the Stu dents to serious thought on the question,•but whether it did is another question'. ; •: ; • AN EDITORIAL IN the last issue explained the new plan for managerial elections in. which the three first assistants are supposed to submit lists of three men to succeed them. It was then suggested that the election of new first assistants by the elections hoard Would . lie merely a matte• of approval of three men selected tinfinimonsly by the three outgoing junior rhilage . Evidently, this is not the case. In the recent soccer elections, the three first assistants submitted' lists of the three candidates Whom they wished to see elected as the new first assistants. But from his unanimous recommendation of three men, only one was *proved by the election beard. The other two finally elected were of fraternity affiliations which have given rise to rumors of "politics." It may be that there are good reasons for We final selection;.

CAMPUSEER I=l 4 , " r i DRIBMING THE PENN STATE COLLEGIAN `Collegian' Letter Box To the Editor: I read . with interest the letter writ ten by "A Scarab" and the editorial comment, with. both of which I am heartily in' accord, for it happens I know both sidefi'of the story. The corn ' plainant was honest and justified in his wail about lack of support. The Scarab "Beaux Arts Ball" is easily the out standing social function at Penn State, the most colorful and elaborate, tli'e' Drily' COStunie party. It - should be a perennial success, and it is,—ex cept financially. It has never made expenses. Last year about eighty bucks in the hole, and this year about the same. The customer gets more for his money at this dance than at any other dance here: This year, dancing from 10 . till 2, at $2.00 per, and all- College by request. This same 'Party almost anywhere else, strictly closed, would have cost frOm seven to fifteen dollars per: Sp you can't blame the boys who worked night and day for weeks to make 'this dance possible, if they complain aboub having to dig down in their old man's jeans for more cash to make up the deficit. And When they call Penn State an old cow college, you can't say it's just plain But I agree that the two bifs dance nest night was not responsible for Scarab's' financial flop', any more than thesniiivies K.. the 'Follies. The A. Ball is more than a dance, it's a grand party' and -I, for one, am sorry to loge this spot our social calendar. At the risk of justifying the fair Co-Ed's belief that a Searab is "a species of crab," I must say that there is a condition here that needs correc tion. During' most of the dance, both doors at the Armory were beset by a dozen or so would be "gate crashers," who made life miserable for the guards and' many of the guests who tried to. enter or leave the . Armory: Time after-time, these "stags" would stagger up the steps and gang their way past the door tender until stop ped by the guard and forcibly ejected.
