Defense 01 Expression
A word to the wise is generally sufficient. Some
times it takes more than one word, and often a
barrage of comment is necessary.. We welcome
the barrage.
Such a barrage, critical and complimentary, hit
the editorial desk yesterday after :the 'second of
f two columns written by• "One Mah's 'Meat" had
been published. Some people queitioned the in:
tegrity of the Collegian writer;, others praised
him for his thorough research and two-fisted at
tack on Lederer and Yougel, candidates for bur
g s of State College. •
• The senior editorial board of The Daily Colle
gian assumes responsibility for all columns 'which
are printed—but, strangely enough, the board
may not agree with the writer at all
This situation may seem to be contradictory.
To us, it is the best method. Above all, indivi
dual opinion'and literary expresSion is encouraged.
in this student newspaper. Only when indivi
dual ideas are expressed and written can a free'
press maintain its independent e. But, when.
'writers are hampered by limitations and literary'
bats, the curtain of free expression will fall upon
dull and disinterested readers.
We take this stand. What is written by a col
umnist is entirely his own viewpoint and does not
necessarily express the • attitude of the senior
board. However, what is said in the editorial
.column does support the policy of the editorial
board.
This method allows both individual and staff
'Means of expression to be voiced. It demon
13trates the "democratic phase" of an America
which has struggled out of a tyrannic birth and
is now seeking to maintain equilibrium in a slow
ly-progressive totalitarian world.
If one voice 'of dissension arises from .our
snidst, if a single person wants to be heard, we
believe by allowing _rim his voice, public opinion
will not die. Therefore, as an editorial staff, we
will stand behind him, if not in thought, at least
as a medium of expression.
As Confucius would say, "He who stands alone
will not be alone for long, for a man who will
be heard will be believed."
Hal Men Show Mew Altitude
For years hat men have become synOnomous
with freshman customs, footbal' rallies, and a
hat-rack for glory-seeking men who wished to
show off a bright, shiny new hat.
. However, this year a few enterprising hat men
have displayed a tendency toward sponsoring im
provements in student government and welfare.
Instead of making themselves known to fresh
men as hard taskmakers, they have endeavored
to instruct and help freshmen in campus and non
campus problems.
But the year has only begun. Will the new en
thusiasm as campus honor men wear off, or will
the hat men realize that through their organiza
tions a wealth of good can be accomplished? Time
will tell.

Of the various types .of Penn State coeds, there
are two that probably attract the' men's fancy
most. The first type is unattractive but likes to
pet. She gets around like this: . .
One little, two little, three little "students,"
:Four little, five !!ttle, six little "students,"
Seven little, eight little, nine little "students,"
Ten little "student boys."
Then there is the attractive type who has -prin-
. .
Ten little, nine little, eight little "students,"
Seven' little, six little, five little "students,"
Four little, three little, two li)tle,"students,"
One little student boy.
While we're at •it, we may as well give forth
on a few campus ditties.
Sing a song of students
With stomachs full of rye,
And hundreds of professors
Baking in a sty.
When the sty is openedi . •
The students are unfurled.
Now isn't this an awful dish
To set befofethe world?
Mr. Professor, quite the impresser,
How does your classroom groW?
With georgeous . belles and cocky swells
And snoring students all
.in a row. •
The Penn State jeunesse has lost its finesse
And cannot tell where to find it;
For all coeds prance when they : go to a dance,
Wagging their tails behind them.
Apd now for something - a little more'general
One creeps, two wobbles, three — Walks,
One gurgles, two babbles, three talks; -
Four shows off, five has a pout - ,
And number six's teeth fall .out.- . •
Number seven's very quiet;
Eight and nine should start to diet.
Ten and' eleven discard their toys;
Twelve -is awkward,, fond of boys.
From 'here on the fun-begins '
Till thirty. winds upholding twins.
So thirty-one renews the diet,
Thirty-five begins to sight. at
Handsome, younger
,men.. . .
Arid forty's teeth fall out again..
And so it goes on up the•sca.le
To number sixty, growing pale.
Here the wobbling starts again
With babbles for another ten.
Seventy-five crawls into bed,
And eighty lies , 'here stiff and dead.
Now here the story ought to end,
But somehow one just can't depend
On Women's never marrying men .
To start the whole damned scale again.

to the Nation
In these critical times, communications play a_
vital part in defense. Here is how the Bell System
is organized to meet its great, responsibility.
American Telephone and Telegraph Company
coordinates all system activities, advises on tele-'
phone operation, searches for improved methods.
24 as,sociated operating companies provide
telephone service in their respective territories.
Long Lines Department of A. T. & T. intercon
nects the 24 operating companies, handles Long
Distance and overseas service.
Bell Telephone Laboiatories carries on scien
tific research and development for the system.
Western Electric is the manufacturing, purchas
ing and distributing unit. . •
Highly trained through many years of working
together, these Bell System companies provide
a nation/wide, unified service. Never have the
benefits of this system 'been so clear as today
when the country is - under pressure.
