THE MOVIE SITUATION
Over the week-end the editor and business manager
of the COLLEGIAN visited the Pittsburgh offices of the
Warner Brothers in an attempt to get the local movie
situation ironed out so that it will be agreeable to all.
The Warner Brothers' representatives expressed
themselves as very willing and anxious to cooperate
with the students in every way. Their past record here
shows that this is very true. Upon the request of stu
dents they withdrew "Red Salute," a fascist propaganda
picture, from the local bookings, and they also brought
"Chapeyev" here; although they knew the picture would
not be a success, financially, for them.
As a result of the COLLEGIAN'S request that some
thing be done about the local situation, the Warner
Brothers' district manager will visit State College with
in a few days in an effort to make' some arrangement
which will be favorable to the students, many of whom
have written this paper requesting that we organize a
boycott against the local theatres Els a protest against
the prices and pictures shown.

WE'RE WORRIED DEPARTMENT
In our mail box the other day we found an editorial
clipped front the Philadelphia Inquirer of November 13.
The editorial said that the Oxford oath, which was taken
by 1,000 Temple students, was being promoted by "the
spineless, smart-ales fringe of our college student bod
ies." The words, spineless and smart-alec, were under
lined.
Above the editorial was written: "This is what
others are saying about you." '

THE BOY EDITOB,DOESNT' . Vt 7 ISH ,
TO WASTE HIS BREATH,
Clinton Leech' is editor-in-chief of the Tech News
at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Like • ninny other
student editors, he ran a peace editOrial following the
Student Mobilization against War and Fascism on
Armistice Day.
Mr. Leech, however,• struck a different note than
the other editors. This juvenile master-mind advised
his readers not to waste their breath on the matter. He
pointed out how nobly he withstood the flood of "anti
war propaganda" asking him and his. noble gazette to
support the student mobilization. "Any action of this
kind would be virtually impossible at Tech, because we
have a hard enough time to squeeze our work into twen
ty-four hours a day as it is, and every class is vitally
important. Such demonstrations are practically out of
the question. We are apt to pass them off as something
for the liberal arts colleges."
Continuing, this deep thinker commends the lib
eral arts colleges for their fine work and for saving
him the trouble. He has figured out that there is hardly
anything' that college students can do to hit directly at
war, "but if someone will evolve a plan that will stop
beating around the bush, we want to be ready to give
our support.. Until that time let us just keep abreast of
the developments, and, where it seems that it will do
sonic good, give a few of our ideas as to 'why war should
be ended; otherwise let us not waste our breath."
How does this practical plan for keeping out of war
strike you?
Sign up for the Let-George-Do-It' plan for keeping
out of war. There is absolutely no work required, no
worry, no beating around the bush and the results—
well, look how they kept us out of the last war.

DEAR P. O. P. S. MEMBER
(This is a. reply to a letter signed "An inter
ested member of the P. 0. P. 5.," whatever that
means, and which may be found in the Letterbox
column of this paper).
It was quite kind of you to send us the clipping
from the Williamsport Sun which told the story of one
man pleading guilty to a charge of drunken driving be
fore Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell and another who waived
a hearing on the same charge. The clipping also says
the men accompanying these men were arrested for
drunkenness. It says further that five otheri pleaded
guilty to charges of drunken and disorderly conduct.
You ask us to do some thinking for ourselves and
if we have the courage give this news item some pub
licity.
Well, dear P. 0. P. S. member, here's your public
ity. And as for our thinking for ourselves we are afraid
that we've been doing it too long to let anyone who is
afraid to sign their own name to their letters, as you
are, influence us.
We investigated these cases. The chQrges against
the last five mentioned were not drunkennss, but dis
orderly conduct. There is a difference. But then that's
the reporter's fault, not yours.
As for the other cases, we'll say for your sake, dear
rorrespondent, that the men are all guilty, although they
all haven't been convicted yet.
But we'll wager all we've got that they didn't get
drunk on beer, that it was liquor.
We have never asked for anything more than tem
perance and feel that this shows that beer drinking is
more apt to be tomperant than liquor drinking.

—lf State should take Penn tomorrow and wind
nit her season with a victory over Bucknell, the editor
of ,"The State Collegian" (sic) will probably have
some food for thought. He is the young gentleman
whci was seized with an obsession that the team
coulidn't play football because it was getting only one
meala . day. 'Here is one old grad, at least, who didn't
joie he anvil chorus he was trying to muster, because
we writ to State in the days when the boys built
temphii of glory for her on their guts, regardless of
how much or what was in their stomachs.",—Demo

We've been hearing rumors that these books of
tickets being vended by Chuck 'Walter and Ed Hard

About Town and Campus
We liked Bob Wilkinson's LaV lc activities card:
"I dated Dagmer Hansen once, that's all." . . . Some
of the boys in the Blue Band took over a cafe in Philly
Saturday night, appropriating the horns . . . Better
start carrying a pack of doublemint , around. Bill
Skirble's going to start giving bucks to constant

sicker, president of the Blue Band, broke a train win
dow on the trip . . . Newell Townsend wasn't feeling
so well on the trip. When the train when through a
tunnel, he thought he'd passed out . . . little Astrid,
who's been Cr. Room waitressing these past two
months is leaving here Thursday for York where
she will attend business school . we'll bet she'll
make ^ somebody' a good little secretary . . . she's al

Nancy Fletcher crashed the Franklin Field press
box last Saturday using a COLLEGIAN press card.
She presented the card at the press gate and the, at
tendant instructed her to see Joe Labrum fora spe
cial pass . . . she visited Mr. Lebrum who gave her
a roving pass to the game. He then gallantly shed
his hat and topcoat, put them on her, and sneaked her
into the press box proper where women just ain't
supposed to be.
Connie Glace, once biggest item-maker of COLLEGIAN
columnists, was on the bus which carried State foot
ball fans to the Penn fiasco as far as Harrisburg ...
she's doing fine ... in case anybody's interested Mark
Sabloskey, Froth's best dressed man last spring is
now attending Louisiana State . . . Freddie Steig

THE PENN `STATE COLLEGIAN
Letter: Box
To the Editor
I've entertained the idea for quite
some time, but not. until reading to
night's Centre 'Daily Times have I
heard or seen my idea expressed. But.
let a quotation frotn the "Tintes•carry
on:
"Several of the' beer parlors right
now do not present-a particularly ap
petizing appearance to the pasSer-by
on the street. A campaign of win
dow-washing, installation of brighter
lights, and . a general cleanup would
make a lot of residents feel more fav
orably inclined towards them."
This quotation comes from an ed
itorial headed, "What Will "Follow
the Vote on. Beer?", in which the
Times brings home the fact that while
it was in laver Of the retention of
beer, beer was retained by the slim
margin of only 37 votes. Many town
people are of the opinion that the vote
was so close that it really was only
a technical majority and not an actua:
one. Consequently, the horough au
thorities feel .the need to solace this
actual majority by arresting proprie
tors who sell to .minors and otherwise
make infractions of the laws.
Now to get to.my specific point. I
am of the firm belief that the instal
lation of, brighter lights and doing
away with window curtains, would do
away with their saloon-like appear
ances and in. so doing would reduce
the antagonism shown by many town
people. It would also help to curb
many of the too-frequent visitors by
giving opportunity to the "public eye"
to see and frown upon them. Many
a student wouldn't enter a beer par
lor if he knew that people walking
by en the street could view his indul
gence.
Much can be done along this idea
if pressure is brought to bear on the
proprietors from' the right agencies.
At least this is an idea and not a bit
of W. C. T. U.-ism.

To the Editor
I have been interested in reading
the past few weeks' editorials in your
paper relative to keeping State Col
lege an outstanding community in
which to live. •
I should like to. have you read the
enclosed clipping from the Williams
port, Son and have you do some think
ing for yourself, also if you have the
courage, give this news item from a
neighboring city some publicity in
your editorial column. Thank you.

Why are prices so high at local

Erratum: In my letter of Tuesday,
Nov. 12, "Edmund Lowe" should have
read "Richard Dix."
Unfortunately, this confusing of
characters detracts from the authen
ticity and validity of the article.
My only enema for this negligence
is that even as a child I had Some dif
ficulty distinguishing between Arm
our's and Swift's.

. Forty-eight years old, literary, and

'Psyche,"' and the. "Death of a No

membered as the outstanding French
novelist of the' ceMury.
