That bill, they pointed out, was un-American in every sense of the word, It, sponsored by two loyal Americans, Nunan and Devaney, of the . New York State Legislature, proposed to require an oath of restrictive allegiance to the Constitution of every New York college undergraduate. Aimed directly at the leftist elements of N. Y. U. and C. C. N. Y., the bill is one of the finest little clamps on academic freedom we have heard of in a long time. r Wednesday's editions of the Hearst press carried con gratulatory stories that the bill had passed. That's nice. Also nice is the fact that at this moment in. the Pennsylvania legislature there is a bill proposing the same oath as a tcachMg : trifiremmlftllpigh schools and colleges whiiii*!;il:eo : 4l4tiii,V:il'„flii State.

HEARST PAPERS MONDAY carried a story of an InteiTiglegjate! OrganiSation , of ,Ame ' riru;' 2404000`p strong. Its purpose is to campaign against radical groups seeking control of student - organizations "in - ' American colleges. Perhaps this meant little to peo ple; certainly most Penn State readers are only too conscious of Hearst's continued efforts to scare a few scattered Reds into their vicious Russian den s . Unfortunately, there are too many who believe this tripe, and the larger the number that swallow his bunk, the greater the glee of good Mr. Hearst as he con tinues to lay the foundations for the complete suppres sion of thought in this country. ON THE CUT SURVEY In an attempt to discover what the heads of the various departments in this College thought about the system of cutting classes, Student Board took a poll which covered the entire faculty. It is very significant that returns from some schools were large and from others they were almost negligible. It is also signific ant that the attitudes of the various departments were so varied. Some are liberal in their statements. Others feel that the College student should be treated like the high' school• or grade school child and be told that if he cuts class he must necessarily "bring an excuse from home" in order to plum himself in good standing again. Punishment for not attending classes is inconsist ent with the declarations of many prominent educa tors who believe college students, provided they are really students, need no incentive to attend classes other than their own desire for knowledge and their inherent curiosity. College, educators hold, should develop' in. a man or woman, a sense of responsibility, and if a person is in capable of assuming the responsibilities that a college throws on him, he shouldn't be in college. The man who wantonly cuts classes and the professors who re sort to high school principles of punishment for that offense also should not be in. college. Weaklings of this sort will not benefit by the varieties of pamper ing embodied in collegiate rulings on cutting or on any other subject. If a man hasn't the desire or the initiative to ap ply himself, compulsory attendance rules won't be worth the paper on which they arc written. Cut rules favor the lazy student. They are not fair. Whether the student loafs, or works is his busi , mess and he should be allowed to run that business as he sees fit with suggestions only, from those who are in• a position to advise. In the long run,' the student be comes responsible to, himself and that is the ultimate end of any educational institution. __Telephone 501 __Donald P. Sunder" .36 W. Bernard Freunsch .:1G ~. ... . .
