PAGE TWO With the Editor— The All-College Government And Borough Relations The history of borough-student relations since the All-College Cabinet began to function a year ago has been marked by almost miracle improve ment. This week the strength of that improve ment is being put to test. It should come through with colors flying. B)rough council's current request that fraterni irs replace street signs torn down during last tveek's fraternity pajama parade is a fair one. Last year H. -Clifton McWilliams, then All-College president, on behalf of the abinet, petitioned the borough to erect the street signs. He promised borough officers, wearied by replacing signs in the past, that next time any signs were torn down the s . .tudents would take the responsibility of 1.. - placing them. Borough council took his word and erected the signs. Now, the time has conie to put McWilliams' promise to test. The item is not much, about $42. Tonight, H. Edward Wagner, lnterfraternity Coun cil president, will ask a meeting of fraternity presidents to agree that the . offending fraternities 'will share the cost of replacing the signs. If fra ternity presidents are conscientious in their de :Are to improve borough-student relations, the In terfraternity Council president will have no trou ble getting that promise. Monday night's meeting between the borough council and fraternity presidents was unable to act because the presidents of only 14 of the 47 fra ternities attended. Of these, only one represented a house whose members had participated in the pajama parade. Tonight an important step can be taken to cement student-borough friendship. These student-borough relations are important. They have improved rapidly since Peter Lektrich '36 was appointed the first student representative to the borough. For a time the responsibility for good relations between the student and the• bor ough rested almost solely with this representative who attended all council meetings and all hearings having to do with students. Responsibility in stu dent government was still badly divided between Student Board, Student Council, and WSGA. When the All-College government came into be ing in May, 1939, the borough for the first time was able to contact one unit representing the whole student body. McWilliams, as last year's All-College president, deserves unlimited praise for recognizing that the new government was in a position to do what no previous student govern ment had done, and doing it. That he succeeded in improving town relations is indicated in borough Council's resolution of congratulations presented to him last Class Day. This year the borough 'took some of the initia tive by sending Police Chief John Juba to speak before the All-College Cabinet, Interfraternity Council and Student Tribunal to explain the bor ough's position as a governing body concerned with the student welfare If theer is praise to be given; not all of it must go to the All-College Cabinet. A fair sham must go, too, to the borough for recognizing the new government as an organization with which it could cooperate to the advantage of both the borough and the students. Much of this leadership has come from the council president, Russel E. Clark, whose close association , 3?ith student leaders has made it possible for him to understand the stu dent problems.

Or perhaps we merely caught them at a bad moment, when they'd not quite be come accustomed to th , L vastness of that Centre Country Temple of Karnak. At any rate we learned that there is a largish vault down in the depths of the structure. The vault -has a stout, steel door and concrete walls. It looks like a very strong sort of vault, what with its combination lock and all. The Library staff, however, don't seem to give much of a damn about it. They ig nore it. So the other morning we strolled into the vault, on pleasure bent. We were a trifle amazed to find what seemed to be the whole of the Li brary's rare book collection gathering dust there in. Jonathan Swift, et al. simply lying there. And the mu c h-bragged-over-and-more neglected Priestley collection. It loked like a rare book thief's paradise .. Purely for the spirit of scientific research, we stuck a volume of Swift in our poc ket and strolled about for a moment. Nothing happened; nobody said bc•o. Mattter of fact, there wasn't any one around during the whole time. It's-so nice knowing that they - know, how to take care of valuable books up there at the end of the Mall. And how they know . . . Our agent Beemish came out of the interior re cently telling a strange tale. We trust Beemish as no one else, and thus we prepared to pass this legend along without fear cf suits for libel. Beemish tells us that he spent several hours, this past week, following one of the. campus lit erary lights over the -terrain of our noble college. Where she went, there also went Beemish. Our lady of letters (this much we divulge; no more) carried under her arm a largish flat packet, and our man admits that . for a while he thought the whole business was simply a publicity gag for our -- heroine's cultural pamphlet. But such, it would appear, was not the case. The flat packet con tained a self-portrait of the little lady. Remark able thing about it was the fact that the subject appeared sans raiment, n.nd playing upon a rustic flageolette . . What hurts us' is our inability to publish the name of the present owner. We know him. But after all .. . one has one's code. Beem ish claims it reminded him of Titian with a dash of Degas. . So far as we know the local gendarmat,e_ does net boast of a vice squad. If they did however, we might be able to lend a hand in one or. two Matters. For instance, our agenti know of one establishment in this otherwise unsullied hamlet where one may pick up some rather interesting little pamphlets. The proceedure -is simple, in volving only a bit of temerity. You look over the :stock of magazines, starting with the Police Ga zette. As you ponder, you grow more and more disappointed: finally wander over to the prop. You have words. He calls a - little fellow in a black hat. Cross his palm with silver and he dashes out. Presently he returns bearing _literature. Stuff that makes Petronius low; pale. What we mean is . . . if you like that sort of thing. Cassius.

The picture, which is based on an orig inal story by Ernst Toiler, will have its local premiere a' - t the State Theatre on Thursday and Friday. The - story centers around a clergyman in • the small German town of Altdorf who dares to op pose the Nazi regime. In spite of threats against himself and against his beautiful daughter, Pastor Hall remains firm in his beliefs and fearlessly refuses to accept the pagan pressure of the new German order. Complications set in when the leading Storm Tropper falls in love with Pastor's daughter, thus making her a- pawn in the gripping struggle .which ensues. The story thus reaches a climax filled with thrills and drama and the picture ends on a note of high pitched excitement.
