February 3, 1942 The Book Exlynige The failure to maintain' the Student Book Ex change deserves an impartial statement of the :facts before drawing conclusions. The Daily Collegian, accused of unfairness by Frank R. Flynn, chairman of the independent party which is in charge of the bOok exchange, has no politi cal strings it wants to pull, but objective truths (are worth stating. After Flynn announced that the °Student, Book {exchange was impossible for lack . of space, Wil lard P. Lewis, amazed at the report and interest lid in helping the students in any book matters, '!-..Asked a member of the Library staff to show us the rooms. offered previously to Flynn• and re ected by him. . • These rooms, centrally located on' campus, are available from 4 p. M. to 10 p: Flynn refused ti o use these rooms because it would entail the moving of bookS to a nearby room for protection 'inder lock and key while the exchange was k:losed. This would have to be done by members of the Independent party. , Because or the refusal to this added, but not impossible difficulty, Penn State students bought all of their books from local merchants at in creased prices. 'Because of an obstacle which would bring about some manpower or time in olved, the ,::xchange was abandoned with little effort to correct or improve the problem. After it had been. suggested, Flynn agreed that the All- College Cabinet take over the exchange. Last :vear, when the Cabinet attempted to do this, Flynn asked them to keep their hands off because it was a political venture and an enterprise which triad been formed and created by that same group. On Wednesday, October 22, 1941, the Daily Collegian published the following letter: "To the Editor: "We of State like to boast of our strong student government, and rightly so, for our system is one of the very best. Feeling that students in office receive splendid training, our administrative ,Beads lend us their.hearty cooperation. "The boys work bard to get elected, but some times it is necessary to remind them that success in election is only the beginning. Once in office they -must serve their constituents or miserably t ail in their duty and, -incidentally, weaken our oystem of student geverntrient. "As head of an All-College committee,- I re- Qently addressed a letter of inquiry to the head of almost every student government organization 'on campus. The letter necessitated at least a post card reply within a week. The president of -the WSGA was the only one to reply. "Let's forget the glory, student leaders, and z4et down to work." Last Thursday, The Daily Collegian published another letter by Flynn, which accused this paper unfairness. state - t that the Independent party •xv,...s financially incapable of insuring the books, opd suggested that this project be taken over by The party would "press Cabinet hard" •:o accept the project. This refutes his request a year ago that best results could be obtt.ined . 1). leaving the exchange in the hands of the :.ooLtp which was handling it.

(Another thrilling encounter to add to her autobiography in Froth.) Miscue Mr. Procliazka was calmly conducting his jour nalism class in the news room quarters in Car negie Hail when a telephone jangled somewhere in the room. Jane Windle located. the instrtt ment and lifted the receiver to hear an inquiring voice ask if he could still, give his blood to the Red Cross. 'Little did the unknown patriot know he was practically broadcasting his message to the entire class. The situation provoked the guys and gals, to unrestrained merriment. The fellow on the phone thought he was being ribbed and promptly got sore, told the Collegian reporter off, and hung up. • • • ~-. :::::.:•••••••••:•:•:•:•:•::::: Wool Neckwear Hand blocked and printed in Animal figures and Foulard _? ~`~• ~•. t~ It lit tpe r ::::::.:. ........ ::•:.. i ::::•.•:•:••.:•.::44 i • - ..:•:•:••:::•ty., ............... 1f1.1....--- • •• • Open Evenint,is .', ~ '~~~ :~.... ~.~r: gas^::i>iik:}}:~::.~: New England designs $1.50 Blood Donor Lists Swell Fraternities were urged yester day to pick up the petitions avail- E•Jble today at Student Union for additional blood donors .by Jadques M.
