FOOTBALL PLIGHT
MORATORIUM
BALKED IN recent effoils to prove dam
aging tactual material against the cm rent
football setup as legitimate, the Collegian
cliall lefrain from publishing mfoimalion
now available until November 28 -
Such a nioratonum does in no way indi
cate that the “objective analysis” of Penn
State s football plight has been terminated
On the contrary, it has just begun
Tt is with a realisation that nothing can
be gained in the present season by stirring
up the football controversy that the Colle
gian tentatively withdraw 0
But, oil November 28—on the heels of
the final game with the Umveisity of Pitts
burgh—the “intangibles ” the material, the
lacu.ties, and the coaching will be shoved
into the foreground.
Already several alumni gioups have indi
cated their desire to back the unprejudiced
analysis Startling statistics and flawless
laets are now accumulating
CABINET'S DECISION
CABINET’S DECISION to evenly divide
the present debate fee between the Foren
,.c Council and the Glee Cl lb climaxes the
first prominent undeitaking by that group
on behalf of student interests
That the decision was a favorable one
was first mdicated by the lesults of a cioss
section survey which revealed that a major
ity ol undergraduates weie of the opinion
Shat the debate tee should be split in the
event that a fee increase for the Glee Club
was impossible.
Additional student discussion resulted in
a h glily-favoiable attitude toward the
“sing-for-its-supper” Glee Club and adverse
comment for the debating faction based on
its apparent extravagancy
Needless to say, an increase in fees
loomed as an impossibility and, with the
Glee Club in uigent need Of prompt con
sideration, the Cabinet voted wisely.
The decision, naturally, did not meet
with unanimous favor There is a strong
possibility that it may lead to a prolonged
fight for a general activities fee—but it is
questionable if such a fee would prove ideal
While original details alone would re
quire consideiable red tape, it is evident
that one organisation after’another would
attempt to squeeze m on the distribution
Cabinet members, m their initial test,
had the courage to fight for their convic
tions to tciminate a long-wmded controver
sy and benefit a deserving organization.
STRIKING SIMILARS
FIGURES COMPILED m a haphaeard
poll concerning the students’ expression
here on war, peace, and neutrality reveal a
striking similarity with results from other
colleges and universities.
The most startling single disclosure was
that 37 percent of the men at Stanford Un
iverity would rather go to prison than fight
if the United States should become involved
in the present conflict Another 67 percept
would refuse to go until they were drafted.
Inthe"same poll at the University of Cal
ifornia, 30 percent would refuse to fight and
80 percent would wait until drafted.
Results on this campus show that 86 per
cent would refuse to fight and 71 percent
'would wait until drafted.
Conclusion: College students do not want

Question of the week, and a timely one .
What do you think of housep.irty as a whole'
Erma Goinn '43 (mteiviewei! at a haudresscr’s

Maniac (intei viewed in a gutter) “I don't know

Prof Minus Two (mtei viewed between blue

Hou°eparty is just another week-end to us Of
course,'the pm-tiadmg picks up a little for a few
weeks befoie the big week-end and a few are
always ictuned to the lads who invite the gals
from back home instead of then little co-ed friend*
But othenvise the dirt we dig up is just run-of

Philip Moms’ Johnnie the little guy in the
bellhop suit, will be in town Monday and Tues
day as the guest of Arme Laich Watch for him
at your fraternity and other favorite loafing spots
But before we forget to tell vou, we’re staiting
right heie and now to beat the drum foi that
Penn State rally planned for tne Hotel Pennsyl
vania in Gotham on the eve of the Army game
, refreshments and pret7cls ppp the
Blue Band and plenty of collegiate atmosphere
. all for one buck
If ypu’rc going to the game, by the way, wo
Tecommend that special train fiom NYC up to the
Point as a means of avoiding the traffic*along the
Hudson . . And if plans woik out,’•the band may
make the trip up and back via Penn State Special,
resulting in a real college football train ala MGM
All of which leaves us with but one thought
in mind:
