C SENATOR GERALD NYE uttered some real corn- mon sense in his address a Indiana University last week-end when he labeled compulsory R. 0. T. C. at American colleges for national defense as pure "bank.'! Especially reasonable is his following :statement: . "Why should college boys be penalized with compul sory military training when all around us are thou sands...of farm boys and boys in industry who haven't been trained. Military authorities would answer 'pre paredness.' I say bunk." His assertion that national defense would not be harmed by dropping the compUlsory angle is logical. He went on to point out the advantages of abandon ment of the compulsory rule as a destructive measure to military propagandizing. Fie thought more logical and pertinent a compulsory course in pence training. It is more sensible to think of peace in terms of peace than of war in the grapples of required preparedness imposed upoti a small group. It is easy enough to see that college graduates, supposedly more educated and able in matters involving brain work, could be of more service to their country by using their developed minds. If there must be preparedness fodder, is not Sena tor Nye reasonable when, lie says that it should not be the college student? If there be men who wish to play the fodder role, it is their pleasure. But why pick out college students as the ones who must be prepared to kill? THE EXPECTED HAPPENS -THE RE-ELECTION OF Wilbur F. Leitzell 'as Bur: gess of State College is the carrying out of what all expected would happen. He won by the trite, old ex pression, "the country mile." That he was elected by such a majority is an indica tion that the voters of State College have confidence in his ability to handle borough affairs. The faculty ex:- presied a large portion of this sentiment. All that the non-voting student, who nevertheless is deeply affected by borough activities, asks of Burgess Leitaell is a fair break. , He wants to be dealt with fair-. ly and squarely. He wants no special favors. Most or the cases involving college students here arc petty, not criminal. The student wants them treated as such until criminal offenses appear. Then he wants protection from the criminal. The student hopes and asks for Leitzell's cooperation with him and with his town council representative. No request could be fairer, more in place ANOTHER STRAW VOTE LESSON .THE ELECTION OF Cornelius D. Scully as mayor of Pittsburgh again emplinized the inadequateness of of most pre-election straw votes to reflect a true story of the situation In a vote taken by Main and Company, auditorssfor the Post-Gazette, a pro-Republican newspaper, Scully's opponent, Robert Waddell, Republican and former Car negie Tech football coach, was out in front by a com fortable margin. This proved inaccurate as the Colle gian predicted it would. On the other hand, the New York Daily Ndws came pretty close in its poll \prediction of an overwhelming majority for La Guardia. About the only opinion polls that seem to reflect a true sentiment most of the time are those conducted by Dr. George Gallup, of the American.lnstitute of Public AN INTERESTING COMBINE SOMETHING IN THE way of the unusual can be found in combination of the various factions that sup ported and overwhelmingly reelected La Guardia may or of New York City. Re had backing him the Fusion faction, the ojd•line Republicans, the labor organizations, the socialists, and the communists. Seldom does politics put all these in the same bed. MO= JAY H.

UNDER THE COLLEGIATE SPOTLIGHT Quaker Curse Hangs Over Unsuspecting Lions When They Meet Penn And The Glockenspiel Oi Franklin Field Hy ROY IL NICHOLS Not only will Penn State's as:hiders buck against an inspired Penn eleven tomorrow, but the craft of Quaker psyChology will also be pitted against them.. Glockenspiel's hoodoo will hang over the unsuspecting Lions! - Ifere's the explanation. In 1935, just:before the Penn-Cornell game, an observing, "psy4l" student- noticed that every, football toa.M . that - came.'..to Franklin field and .defented Penn, had a band with a Glockenspiel (bells -to :you) in it. A class discussion fol lowed and ended with the psychology department sending West for a set' of bells. But there was. not time enough for the instrument to be shipped by train, (and Penn's chalices of winning the !ball game were., very slim. So the psych students Chipped in and bought the Glockenspiel and had it shipped by plane in time for the big game. Penn" trounced Cornell that day and since then has Bever been defeated on Franklin field. But all good things must come to an end.

'Fifth, the poll that was taken in the A.
