When we have come this far, we decided; it is high time to take stock of ourselves. How lias the daily worked out as compared with the semi-weekly? In our own minds there is no question that m daily paper is the thing for Penn State. We were pleased to note in a poll last January that most readers agree. • We started the year frankly afraid that the daily might not be a success because its read ers might be too hasty in judging it by the mis takes and shortcomings we were sure a new paper like ours was bound to have. Surprisingly, to us this fear was not realized. At the same time the daily has proved itself a financial possibility and has shown that stu dents can produce a daily without flunking themselves out of college. In fact, the Collegian staff average wa's higher during its first semester as a daily than during its last semester a's a semi weekly. The daily has had the advantages that were expected—chief among these, fuller and faster coverage of campus news. It has been able to reach into fields outside the college, although the full exploitation of that work must wait until it can afford to publish more pages every day. Even more important than the present accom plishments of the daily are its potentialities. It Can. and we believe it will, become State College’s morning newspaper. If it is well handled finan cially, it will be able to afford more pages every day, it will be abie to finance a telegraph wire (service with one of the leading press associations, and it will be abie to give complete town as well os complete campus coverage. All of these things are demonstrated possibil ities. Penn State now has one of the 27 college dailies in the country and. with careful management, we think it can come to have the foremost of the col lege dailies Not This Itenfee Voting Penn State got a kind of absentee voting it didn’t want in the All-College elections this week when a fraternity brother of one of the candidates fried to vote under two names. To the credit of evevvbody but the two stu dents concerned, the case was cleaned up quickly by Student Tribunal in a precedent-setting action that proved it is more than an agency to enforce freshman customs. Tribunal for two years has had the power to enforce student discipline. Wednesday night was the first time it used it. Thursday,- in a precedent-setting action even more important, a faculty committee promised to enforce the decision of Tribunal in suspending the two students from a week of classes and from extra-curricular activities for the rest of their time in Coliege. * *. * The dishonesty that prompted one student to vote under another’s name and the indifference that allowed the other to iehd his identification, of course, are deplorabie. They only prove, how ever, that a Coliege society is rio different from any other. As long as Tribunal is alert, both'will at least be kept at a minimum, and this self-discip line is going to go a long way in making a strong /student government stronger.

Slingin’ Is Siting The Econ Prof was holding forth at great length on satiety, and was using himself as an example. “If I need but two suits of clothes, then I have reached a point of satiety and I won’t need an other suit except for a special occasion. Now I don't need a suit of golf clothes because I don’t golf; a tennis suit because I don’t play tennis; or a full dress suit because I’m fully dressed . . .!” “How about a bathing suit?” inquired a student. “I don’t need a bathing suit,” the doctor began. Came a pause. Then— ‘You’ve got me boys.” If you are a liberal artist you can guess who the prof was. if you’re not a liberal artist, it’s none of your business who it was because you couldn’t appreciate it anyway. His nickname has the in itials S. S. and we don’t mean Storm Trooper. • Spring Prelude ‘l’m going in the Army in May.” ‘May when?” ‘Maybe.” “Be Prepared” Baird Despite the fact that our new All-College Prexy Bob Baird won by over 100 voles, he was none too confident of victory before the election returns came in Thursday night. Bob placed two ads in the custody of the Colleg ian Thursday, one of which, thanking his support ers. appeared in yesterday's paper. The other, to be used in case his opponent Charley Mattem won, read as follows; “I wish to extend my sincere congratulations to my successful opponent, Charles Mattem. I could not have lost to a more deserving student. I wish to heartily thank everyone who supported me in this campaign. Robert Bail’d.” Good sportsmanship, we calls it. There’s One In Every Town The snow was piled a foot high and ranged three feet away from the curb in front of the Diner the other morning. It was well-nigh impossible for anything but a tank or a caterpillar tractor to get within a foot of the curb. A passing pedestrian eyed curiously the police officer who was writing out a ticket for a hapless motorist. The parking meter still had twenty minutes on it. The pedes trian asked the officer why he was giving the motorist a ticket. "Why.” the officer indignantly more than six inches from the curb!” Prof Of The Week The. prof was leaning back in his chair reading the Collegian, apparently oblivious to the low murmur coming up from his class, who were bus ily engaged taking a bluebook. The low murmur rose to a murmur, and still the prof went on read ing the Collegian. The murmur crescendoed into full-fledged conversations. The prof arose, turned to the blackboard. The class was breathless, scared. The prof turned around, sat down, resum ed his reading. On the board were two words. "Talk lower." British Morale? v According to a London dispatch, it’s likely to be •'Bombs and Babies” and not "‘Bombs or Babies.” The dispatch stated that immorality was increas ing to a “marked degree” in London’s air raid shelters. In fact, a probation officer even went so far as to say, “There are few boys and girls of 17 and 18 living under the present conditions for-whose chastity I would vouch.” And here we’ve been thinking all along it was the British .morale which was so high. Burgess Goes Sufi Congratulations but no cigars. The borough tough man has gone soft. Burgess Leitzell has a grandchild. Beat me daddy eight to the bar! Dr. Charles M. Heck, head of the physics de partment at North Carolina Staid College, wants newspapers of the country to coin a hew .word— “Slavaxis." He sent ietters. to principal papers throughout the country asking them to use the word in referring to the alliance between Italy and Germany. Italy, he said, is the slave: GeK many, the Axis. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN replied. "He's Urges Cooperation Because of numerous com plaints about enforcement of the dating code from students and administration, H. Edward Wag ner '4l, president Interfraternity Council, above, makes an urgent plea for cooperation in enforcing the code and reporting any in fractions of it. “There is to be much rpore vigorous enforcement of the dating code in the immed iate future,” stated Wagner, “and this is not just an idle statement.” All violations should be turned in to Wagner, who promises to keep reports in strict confidence. Letters to the Editor— Religious Council No} k Pari Of PSCA To the Editor: In your article in the Wed nesday, March 12, issue concern ing the special advisory commit tee for students seeking alternate selective service duty because of conscientious objection to mili tary training, you state that the committee was established by the Student Religious Workers Coun cil of the PSCA. The Student Religious Workers Council is an independent organization of all of the ministers of the churches serving students in State College and of the secretaries of the Penn ■State Christian Association. Miss lone V. Sikes, associate director of the Westminster Foundation, is the president of 'the Student Religious Workers -Council, and •it was she that issued the an nouncement concerning the com mittee. D.

Nevertheless, it. seems to me unfair to. many de voted graduates and friends of the College to leave uncorrected ■what is evidently a misquotation .in your March 13. In discussing the merits of the two projects proposed to the senior class, you quote Dr. Mar quardt as saying, “Since 1909 there has been no additional fin ance aid for students." I can •only surmise that Dr. Marquardt intended to say,- “Since 1909 no class has provided financial aid •to students.” I' cannot believe that one so long a part of the College administration would ig nore the James -A.
