To un derstand them is still another. iga==!l2l=l=!ll apnearanee on the November ballot of a referendum question, asking the voters' perfitission to spend 42 mil lion dollars on state institutions of various descriptions When the question, one of five was placed 'on the bill hit, the legality of the State Authority agency was in doubt. The authority was set up to facilitate the busi ness between the United States and the Commonwealth and to administer any program deriving from that as sociation. Reversing its original keiskon, the Supreme Court has declared the State Authority legal, nullifying the need of public permission. Tn a peculiar quirk of law and politics, it is now thought that mare can be aceom plished if the public refuses to authorize the spending. It is 'thought that Public. approval will now put state programs in nn embarrassing riosition, and that this . should be avoided. • The reason a:lva : need is this: The authority can issue bends more cheaply privately than it can in a public sale. It is asserted that the various building programs can he saved same 12 million dollars this way on biter est alone. To put it peculiarly, the state can save 12 'million del Mrs by administering a program without public ap proval. To be frank, it will administer it anyhow, and Lo do it the way it appears on the ballot will hinder its expedition Whatever Republicans, right-wing Democrats, or even Progressives think about Governor Earle, he unques tionably is doing a lot for the College right now. It is heartening to find that in this recent legal up roar, the College buildings remain unscathed. It is well to realize that the State Authority was set up only be cause of the peculiarity of the formation of this state into a Commonwealth in the beginning, and that many of the problems Wed result from questionable legal en tanglements rather than political ones. Public-spirited students and :dl interested in the de velopment of Penn State can help materially in pre venting the situation from becoming political by care fully refraining from any foolhardy action that might bring undue and unfavorable publicity to the College at this time. It would be difficult for the State Authority to jus tify worry and expense here, if reports were available to the effect that students here were irresponXible and to a certain extent. anti-social FOOLISH'CRITICISM TIIP. ACTION OF the Parents Association in con demning the Player performances of the "Last Mile" and "Personal Appearance" has wrapped up in it all the bigotry and lack of common sense that could he conceivably accumulated at one given moment. To condemn student presentation of two such publicly acclaimed good theatrical pieces falls little short of be ing asinine. The Players are protected because the . ) , received deserved faculty permission for the perfor mances. But to say that the two plays in question are not suit able for college students' because they are not Morally uplifting is similar to condemning Shakespeare for be ing obscene. But the condemners in this case probably ore not familiar with Shakespeare. Even if the plays were objectionable (which they weren't), it does not logically follow that those that see them must necessarily become degenerates. It would appear that this phase of morality in question is one fcr parents to sohie with their children long before they think abdut college. To be broad, liberal, and educated in college appears to be undesirable in this light. And if they are unde sirable the essential purpose Of 'college is lost.

It is difficult in the allotted space to pay ample tribute to the Penn State Players' presentation of "First Lady"-which was staged Saturday night in Schwab auditorium, under the direction of Prof. Frank S. Neubaam, with the assistance of Wilfred C. Washeoe, '3B, as technical director. The very fact that the popular ccmedy by George S. Kaufman and Katherine Dayton was put on in less than two weeks, only indicates more clearly that the real talent which is in abundance on the campus will be the basis.for more shows of the same calibre. So to Professor Neusbaum, we can heartily say that his efforts were not in vain.
