For some time there has been a feeling among, townspeople that the abuses in the local beer traffic are becoming more pronounced. This is the first public statement of that feeling. It is gi partially justified protest. So far no babes in arms have been sold beer in any of the local dispen- saries, -but almost anyone alse able either to toddle or to stagger to the bar has found his money acceptable. The Collegian's attitude on the local sale of beer has not changed since last fall. We feel that the cause of temperance will be better promoted if it is kept here than if it is abolished. Even today we are convinced that anyone who was in Ithaca or Pittsburgh following football games would be willing to set up the average week-end here as a model for sobriety. None the less there have been enough student arrests for “drunken ness” (in .most-of-the cases auto-suggestion has been more important than beer) lately for citizens to com plain. If this condition can be checked now there should be no’trouble. If it grows worse there may be. Although a part of the blame is upon the students, the remedy is in the hands of local proprietors. They were fortunate last fall in being granted per- mission to continue in business. It was largely a con cession by the townspeople to the wishes of the students. So long a they conduct their businesses sensibly there will be no protests. If they continue to sell to children and to boys who are obviously unable to hold any more, they will find that-they are killing the fu ture business for a few cents of present profit. LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT RIGHT ROOSEVELT’S POPULARITY IS exceeded only by his unpredictability and the opinions as to his future course made by eight members of the faculty are prob ably as accurate as any. Of course, like many instruct ors, some of them have said practically nothing, but what opinion has been expressed has been that he will tfwing left. The Merry-Go-Rounders, Pearson and Allen wrote the same thing last week. They are usually pretty ac curate in their predictions and they felt that on the Court, Social Security, Socialized Medicine, a Pure Food and Drug Act, and certain other measurds he will con tinue to the left. On Taxes, Banking, and National De fense he will be more conservative. The Natioyi, which supported him in the campaign although it had often criticized him for many of his concessions to conservatives, hoped that the President would be more liberal during the next four years, but was afraid he wouldn't be able to “take it” when the pressure from the right became too strong. Other political writers have been guessing, but they all finish up by admitting that they don't know and that Roosevelt himself probably doesn’t know. One thing, however, is agreed upon: he will continue to be the smartest politician of them all. ELECTION POST MORTEMS: Republican papers slipped up in failing to note that their own estimate of unemployment at 11,000,000 is exactly equal to Roose velt’s plurality oyer Landon. They should have made some sort of a crack about families on relief going to the polls cm masse. From an ag. student we hear an interesting story. Perhaps you have noticed billboards all over the State carrying ads for the “Buck and Roe Run Farm,” lo cated at Coatosville. Early in the summer owners con tracted for $33,000 worth of space, despite the fact that they already had more business than they could handle. Reason: The farm is owned by the DuPonts who felt that this'would be a nice subtle way to keep Democratic propaganda off some 1,100 billboards. “Collegian Columnists Collect Comps,” Cries Campus Clique By T. H. E. MANIAC STATE COLLEGE, Nov. 9—(PU)—Speaking over a Power Plant to Cow Barn network the other night, Leroy M. Sunday, vice-president of the Ath letic Association of the Pennsylvania State College, here, and pi'omincnt member of the Campus political Clique, accused the Penn State CoUegiun, local stu dent newspaper, of accepting a huge sum of money in the form of negotiable securities for the suppres sion of news of vital importance to the readers of that ♦ paper. Sunday stated that after a single reference to a certain Charles Campbell as a member of a local or ganization known as tht “Stinker Club” bis name was suddenly dropped from the columns of the paper. In his statement Sunday inferred that there was more to be told and that the Collegian had been bought off from its duty to reveal further detkils concerning Mr. Campbell to its subscribers, and readers. ♦ ♦ ♦ THIS IS a TALE of graft and corruption, of boon-, doggies, hedging and’political ruction. But most ly it’s about The Fox. Awhile back our worthy contemporary Campy, in a moment’of despair, decided to revive the Stink er Club. For no other reason than that “he just don’t like the guy” he nominated Chuck Campbell for Stinker No. I. Fortunate or unfortunate, as you care to look at' it, this was a momentous choice. By the whimsy of a capricious fate, Campy had hit upon the darling of the junior class Campus Clique; the man who is a first assistant basketball manager, and is being groomed for the presidency of next year’s senior class! Pulling all available strings, contacting all men the Collegian that they or their friends knew, the members of the Campus Clique swung into action in order to keep Campbell’s name frsm again appear ing in the column—to save him from a fate worse than death. Their slogan: “Remember Sam Breene!” However, as fate willed it, Norman Hezekiah Halprin, bus. mgr. of the Bell, wandered into the Cor ner the day after the original item appeared and was accosted by Campbell. Just what took place at that memorable meeting will undoubtedly never be factually recorded. It seems probable though that Campbell, knowing Halprin to be a publications man began beating about the bush in order to find out how to keep his* name from reappearing and possi bly preventing him from being senior prexy. Here entereth The Fox. Lifting his nose and scenting the breeze, Halprin found it good and avidly lent his ears. Without mak any actual statements, he at last agreed with Camp bell that yes, he might be' able to keep Campbell’s name from breaking into print again. Just which one of them suggested it first will never be known—and really doesn’t make a hell of a lot of difference—but Campbell agreed (cross his heart) to fork-over a Jr. Prom, comp in the event that future “Stinker” Campbell items did not appear in these sacred pre cincts. Thus the matter rested forseveral weeks. Campy —who doesn't know Halprin from a hole ip the ground— got back on the ball again and did not need to dirty his column with stinker item filler. Camp bell’s name did not again desecrate Campy’s col umn—which was fine for Campbell; fine for the Campus Clique; fine for the Collegian; and fine for Halprin, who spent all his spare time seeking a re ceptive date for the BIG DANCE (jr. prom). But the boys in the Clique wore still a teeny weeny bit peeved about the whole affair and eventu ally -word about the matter reached the ears of Lee Sunday, big shot in the parent organization, the senior class Campus political Clique. Unlike his un derlings, Sunday is a man of action and'what’s more he knows the editor of this sheet. -One day- he ap proached ye ed and took him to task for allowing his columnists to accept bribes. Knowing us column ists to be men of purest and lilliest white, the editor was taken decidedly aback.’ Shaking off this condition os best he could ye ed pressed Sunday, for details and -soon the whole sordid story appeared before his amazed eyes. And right in the middle of it sat Halprin, grin ning foxily and just a .bit sadly now that the whole thing was exposed. The moral? Never believe that just any publica tions man can get something in the column—or Keep it out. And above all don’t go around throwing negotiable securities in the form of dance tickets in to strange laps. . See the columnists themselves. THE PENN' STATE COLLEGIAN Letter Box | (Reprinted from Saturday’s Centre Daily Times). ■ Editor, Centre Daily Times:. When the beer question came to a vote here last fall’ I was one of those who felt that it should be retained. The “Penn State Collegian” made it clear that the students —and prob ably the College administration— wanted to have beer. The “Collegian” claimed editorially that it would be more temperate to have beer here than for students to drive to other towns or to get bootleg liquor. It promised that students would not abuse the privilege and that proprie tors would conduct their places in a sensible fashion. I have not changed, in my opinion that if students want beer they should have it.- I do feel, however, that since the beginning of the year, they have abused the privilege and proprietors Have violated the law and failed to conduct their places as they promised to do last fall. The past week-end was especially flagrant. I know that two freshmen, for example, were found guilty of be ing drunk ancl ’ disorderly. This has , been the rule rather than the excep tion all'year. , I feel—and I am not alone in this— that students' and proprietors should do something to' remedy conditions. If they do not; they will find that the townspeople.will no longer allow things to go on as they were. Interested Citizen To the Editor Coming here this fall from a town >vhei*e I could see two movies in th* afternoon for fifteen cents or at night for a quarter, I. was surprised at the steep price that students here have to pay for their shows. • I was more surprised though ■ that although they all complain .about it, they don’t do anything. They must make up about four-fifths of the audience and if there was a little organization they could get almost anything they wanted. I heard* recently .that there was some last year about prices and that the Collegian published some’ letters about it; Nothing much I but talk resulted, principally, I un [ derstand, because there was no orga j nization that was willing to do more .than simply.talk.; 1 I can see that student government bodies'couldn’t’very well do much, but it seems to me that such a group as Interfraternity Council, together with the non-fraternity, units, could pretty well. demand what they wanted to. Also as I understand .the aims of the A. S. . U., • they ...would probably be willing, tov buck >suph ..exploitation- of, ihe studeriisj,’‘7’ v . Maybe I’m .wrong. -, -Maybe students would rather pay too high prices than do anything. about ; it. , Anyway, I’d like to 'kiiow wljat other people and other groups think’ about it. R. E.

We Women :By MARION A. RINGER . “Marriage, and a career cannot be combined successfully," according to the majority of groups of senior, girls when asked their viewpoints .upon three questions ever confronting a senior woman. The only concession given to hold ing a position while married-was .in the case of financial need. ; However, marriage was considered by all to be the main job of a woman’s life and a position should be secondary - to-.mar riage. Many girls considered a career with marriage not fair to the hus band and felt" that it . keeps single girls from work.. Some thought-that every girl should follow her., profes sion for two years after able to be self-supporting ifjiie.need ever arose after marriage. 11 r •, In answer to the question,' ‘fWftat'j do you gain in college that h'elps'Vou in,business?" all agreed' upojn '.pois'd,! ability to live with people,'the] budgeting of money. They fpll u thatj college training also gave a'sensb'cv! responsibility, professional tfaiHingj and the ability to moke social con tacts. • When asked what business women could do to help their entrance upon j a vocation, the girls put “making con-; tacts for you" first. They desired | suggestions and aids from the pas.t: experience of business women. A tol-j crant attitude and helping adapt the ] college girl to her position was thought to be a major, aid from "the business women. A genuine feeling for the need of lectures from business womrn was expressed. They feel that personal talks to small groups interested in the. same vocation telling the girls frankly what they lacked and needed would be an excellent idea.
