Best Show On Earth Until three weeks ago "Wash ington newspaper correspondents 'were of the opinion that the pres idential press conferences were for the purpose of gathering news ;?.nd comment from the man who is best qualified for such a task, nut latest developments have caused considerable skepticism among the gentleman of the press. Lately the President has re- sorted to ridicule and so-called humor as a method of- answer- ing, or rather, not answering the queries. FDR is doing a fine bit of acting . In fact, the correspon dents might begin to wonder if fie is competing for the Academy .Award, in which case it is likely that he will also have to be ■‘drafted" for that honor. Since in a democracy the pres ident must mainly keep the na iion informed through the medi um of the press it would seem that he could spend the 15 min utes he allots to the press each day more profitably, instead of ). aunching vitriolic attacks against isolationist senators, and also suggesting that he, as pres ident, should stand on his head in the center of Pennsylvania avenue. Recently a reporter asked the President to comment on Col. Lindbergh’s views of giving aid !o the Allies. The chief execu tive smiled broadly and replied ■chat he had not read the speech —and then asked why he should have read it. The newsmen didn’t appreciate humor- in that in .-lance. It is possible the corres pondents believed that hearings before the House Foreign Affairs Committee should have been re- viewed with more than passing interest by the President. Then there was the conference when FDS remarked that his children had kept him up too late the night before, and he was too tired to think about a certain national issue. Another time. “He was too sleepy to discuss the matter.'’ •In defense of the President’s present attitude it is true that there are numerous matters which the head of the govern ment is not in a position to re lease for public digestion, never- theless. this continued evasion of questions on subjects which here tofore have been made public, is difficult to understand. If the President continues to regard tiie.se conferences as a 15 minute recess “where anything goes” it might: be more profitable to schedule the “act” in Madison •Square Garden, charge admis sion, and eventually balance the national debt with a packed (louse each night in the week. New Bus Depot (Continued from Page One) civilization A baffled look was on the face of the driver as he stared at Si berian-like .stretches outside. “What’s it all about anyway. I guess I’d better flag the buses coming in from Harrisburg and tell them to steer clear of' Col lege Avenue. Tiie law is wait ing for them..” the driver said. This crudely improvised de pot, was brought about by the refusal of Burgess Wilbur F. Leitzell to allow buses to stop at the State College Hotel. The 'boreugh council had agreed to wait until the erection of a new depot, but Leitzell stated that he would fine the buses if they stopped at the old depot after midnight last night. H. C. Crawford, Greyhound representative, presented plans for a new depot to council last LOST—B-10 a, m.

Mackie must have been disappointed when he faced a meager audience of little more than fifty persons in Schwab Auditorium Tuesday night;—the official opening of the All-Col lege Cabinet dollar-per-student war relief campaign. It was unfortunate' that two well-known speakers made their campus appearances the same evening. But fifty persons heard the story .Mackie told. They realized, perhaps for the first time, that they are members of a world-, wide organization of students. Perhaps they were reminded what effect international condi tions have on students all over - the globe. Maybe they were awakened to the dictatorial purge of .many classics which has not only im peded democratic education, but also slowed up progress of the humah race. Perhaps they were roused to the realization that not all stu dents throughout the world are complacently walking across campuses and sipping cokes. No. thousands have moved from bomb-splintered buildings with the few text books they could salvage to pick up where they left oft' in quieter sections of their countries. Perhaps those fifty persons will understand that the dollar quota from each student will go a long way toward boosting de mocracy, not only in education, but also in politics, religion. Yes, and it will bolster the very wills of war-stricken people. We hope these fifty persons will tell their story to the 6000 students who were not here to hear it.
