POOR MR. HEARST
William Randolph Hearst, the-lieu•-in-chief of
America, is learning a few things these bright sunny
days. Poor Mr. Hea•.st, who really loves our country
where some twenty million people are on relief, made
the mistake' of letting some of his "Here Come the
Japs," "The Reds are in the Colleges" newspapers get
into the hands of sonic people who thought. And now
poor Mr. Hearst is losing quite a bit of money. In fact,
if things keep going the wily they have, it will only be
a matter of few millions until poor Mr. Hearst will be
on relief himself.
, Now, these people who thought ... they were just a
bunch of young whippersnappers ... but they Thought
and worse yet, complains poor littlo dirty Willie, they
were a group of students at Williams College, who,
lend by Raymond A. McConnell. editor of the Williams
Record, boycotted Mr. Hearst's stink rags and his
Metrotone News. They did a pretty good job with
their boycott, too, because the 'management of the Wil
liams theatre was forced to take the Hearst news-reel
out to save his theatre.
Now Williamstown, Mass., isn't such a large town,
and so this teeny-weenie boycott didn't bother Willie,
the Liar, a bit. But before long the students at Prince
ton took up the boycott and they, too, were, successful.
And then it began to spread. Vassar, the sedate
women's college, took up the fight. .Syracuse, after a
real tangle with Hearst's local paper; 'started a - very
effective boycott of flearstism. And now Amherst and
Springfield have joined in using the most effective
means of crystallizing and directing into action the
aroused opinion of the undergraduate yet found, the
boycott.
The fight against Hearst, which was brought on by
his lying charges that communism• was being spread
and advocated in our colleges and universities by thou
sands of "anti-American agents in the guise of both
professors and students," (to quote a local Legionnaire)
has been fostered and encouraged from the start by the
Association of College Editors, one of the first groups
to call Mr. Hearst down publicly for his "white" lies
to save the country from the "Reds" and the Japanese
bombers.
These boycotts, which threaten to sweep to every
college in the country, no doubt have given Mr. Hearst
and "The Dove of the Front Page," Arthur Brisbane,
something to think about
We're just sorry that the local theatres don't show
his Metrotonc News. But thCn, on second thought, we
feel sort of proud of the Warner Brothers. Maybe,
we'll write them a letter
WE ARE PLEASED to hear that Mr. Ebert, of
the grounds and buildings department, is going to re
move the weird-looking wire fences he had erected to
keep students off the grass. It makes us feel sort of
proud to think that even Mr. lfbert is convinced that
students are intelligent enough to walk around the
campus without having to . be fenced in like a herd of
cattle. The only thing that were sorry about is that
be didn't have 'them taken down before "Penn State
Day."
ANOTHER "PENN STATE DAY" has come and
gone and it will leave the several hundreds of visiting
high school seniors who may never visit this campus
again with a very definite and sharp impression of
Penn State. That impression will be brought to the
minds of those students every time they hear the name
"Penn State."
And it is pleasing to know that that impression
is undoubtedly a favorable one. The campus has sel
dom looked as inviting, and on the'whole, the day's pro-
gram was run off smoothly.
The only criticism of the night's athletic exhibited in
Recreation hall was that the program lacked coordina
tion, probably because no one seemed to know who was
running the affair, and that the fraternity men seemed
to think it above their dignity to attend.
RECENT ELECTIONS TO Student Union Board
show that campus and fraternity politics have not yet
thoroughly cleansed themselves of the rotten stench
which surrounded them for years. If the positions in
question were of importance, there , might be some rea
son for these slippy methods—but for a consolation
job My, my, what are we coming to, Mr. Platt?
THOSE of you who have been initiated into Blue
Key (and who hasn't?) know that the festivities
are held right below a big bluff. Well, right in the
midst of the tortures the other night someone was
heard to mutter, "Who the hell's throwing eggs?" It
developed that some practical joker was up on the
bluff tossing eggs down at the assembled multitudes—
at brothers and initiates indiscriminately. Ile had
scored about a dozen bits when a posse was organized
to track hint down; they searched the bushes awhile,
found no one, returned.
It seems that the freshmen who were assigned
to eat out at the Delta Chi boarding house over the
week-end were almost all boys with rustic back
grounds. Onl of them, in conversation with Bill
McDowell, was telling what a relief it was to get
away from it all, even for a day. "This is the first
day in four years," he said, "that I haven't milked a
cow."

There's probably something significant about a
little item we noticed is the instructions to-seniors
about Commencement procedure if we could only
think what it is. It tells all about how and when to
move the tassel on your cap and many other bits of
interesting and useful advice. When it comes to the
instructions for the procession, it tells candidates for
degrees from the School of Education to "meet in
front of the Education Building (The Old Beta
House)." Make your own cracks.

Dutch Wolf, who visited his Delta Chi brothers
at Cornell over the Week-end, had them all sign his
Lion coat. They were having a bit of revelry up
there and Dutch happened to break in on a party
that was, to put it mildly, strictly private. Flustered,
he still had presence of mind enough to murmur
"Have you seen my Lion coat?" as he backed out.

Relief from some of radio's most
objectionable practices is assured
with the adoption of new policies by
the Columbia Broadcasting System.
Children's programs are to be scien
tifically improved and the blood-and
thunder element removed, as well as
the subtle inculcation of such un
wanted ideas as disrespect for par
ents, greed, foolhardiness, etc.
Such offensive advertising as that
used by the manufacturers of laxa
tives will be eliminated with the ex
piration of current contracts. Lastly,
the time limit for commercial an
nouncements has been reduced, the
maximum now being two minutes, ten
seconds for a quarter hour program,
up to six minutes for an hour show.
Congratulations for this forward
step, CBS!
