News Editor ThN Ipmio Friday, March 25, 1938 THE NAME POLE WITH URGENT RESULTS the ColleuiiiM closes its r.pjiimi poll to determine student reaction .to Governor Earle’S assertion that Penn State should be a univer sity. Students were overwhelmingly in favor 6f the adoption of the title of “university." The name they favored was “The Pennsylvania State University." The results of this student action are being forwarded to Governor Earle, Senator Cavnlcante's name commis sinn, and the Board of Trustees. Such u student verdict plus the unquestionable valid ity and worth of university recognition will undoubt edly prompt the legislature and the trustees to appro priate action to accomplish here at Penn Slate what lias ocen coming slowly for so many years. 4- + + IT IS INTERESTING to study the veactiims throughout the state .resulting from our big building program and the publicizing of the proposal to make this n university. The recent jest of the Daily Pennsylvanian, suggest ing that we be the George H. Earle University is typ- ical of the reaction given to an educational institution that has been helped materially. Everyone wishes he could get the breaks that his fellow man is fortunate enough to receive. Five years ago, the College was assailed for having too many close ties with the Republican parly. -Now it is charged the same situation exists with the Demo cratic party. It proves the old adage that “you can't satisfy everyone.’’ Small liberal arts colleges, in particular, are wrought up - over the good fortune we have had. Presidents of those sinai! colleges looking into the future probably cannot see anything too bright over which to gloat with joy. They have a problem. It is natural, perhaps, that they become excited at times and condemn what' is hap pening here. Such was the case over a month ago when the Pies dent of YV. and .1. exploded during - a Philadel phia speech and said that Penn Shiite had more money than it knew' what to do with and that a building pro gram here was unnecessary. Fortunately for the Col lege administration he also charged the Earle adminis tration with fostering fascistic education. That took the issue right away from, the College. All he said was incorrect, of course, and probably resulted from misin-. formation. Ask any dean or faculty member if \t’c have too much money to spend. It is natural that the Commonwealth, after giving the College five million dollars, might be curious to know what was being done with it. The Commonwealth has no intention, we feel certain, of attempting to dictate what shall be taught. The Governor and his adminis-' (.ration are too wise and too busy .to meddle in anything that extensive and foolhardy. Clear thinking also would reason that if a state col lege is to get money to operate and expand, it has little recourse other than state aid. Also, this College has a charter that places the power of running the institu tion into the hands of the Board of Trustees. Many other state institutions are n part of the state board of public instruction. If any state were to start fascistic education, it would start with the public schools. It would seem that all this broad and hot-headed criticism of changing the college name and the aid it is receiving from the state comes from sources that are unable to grasp the significance of broad, modern edu cational development. STRANGLEHOLDS FROM THE WEST NINETY - TWO INTERCOLLEGIATE WREST LERS from every part of the country are our guests for the notional tournament this week-end. Penn State is happy to welcome them to the campus. The Nittnny chances for a sensational showing are slim. Attendance at the bouts, thus, may suffer. The prospects for an excellent tourney, however, are bright. The best in college wrestling will be exhibited. Locals will have a chance to gape at the “unbeatahles” from the West where the national title has had a habit of ln-\ eating itself in the past few years. Particularly inter esting should be the wonder team from Oklahoma A. & M. Despite State’s relapse after a sensational last year, there will he enough fine wrestling this week-end to snlisfy any follower of the sport.

Letter Box Madison, Wisconsin March.lB; 1938 To The Editor: ' Penn State’s boxing team is a group of boys of whom you should all be more than proud. Tonight, u crowd of well oyer 11,000 ardent Wisconsin followers saw and acclaimed as fine a show of spovtsriianship and ring generalship as has ever been seen in the boxing ring under, the roof of Wisconsin’s huge field house. From start to finish, each boy entered the ring with a determination to own ,up those strange odds which always seem to favor the home team, uninten tionally though that nmy be. Fight after fight saw the interest and res pect of the crowd increasing until fi nally a thoroughly satisfied-, throng left* Ihe field house, homeward bQund. Fm sure that I was far from alone in picturing Sammy Donato for a clean victory and one, or possibly two other matches, as draws, but there was not a single word of criticism, as a sizeable, handful of grads talked things over with Leo and the boys in the dressing roopi after the fight. The boys were happy and little the worse for wear; Leo was more than satis fied with their showing all the way through; we grads were very proud and, I think, felt a fresh surge of the spirit of the Nittany Lion, our own Blue and White.
