Bell Thursday, June 11, 1942 Guaranteed Delivery Although the Collegian has been trying every :possible plan to insure better carrier delivery, there are still a number of complaints turnea in at the office each day. During the next several weeks, however, there is definite reason to be aleve that most of the circulation difficulties will 'be' overcome. The staff is not throwing up an alibi when it says that the Collegian's delivery problem is an unusual one—and one that most newspapers do not have to cope with. Average American newspapers, whether daily or weekly, have the same list of home subscrib ers year after year. Moreover, one carrier may deliver papers on the same route for five or ten years. Favored with these two 'constants, the newspaper receives only few complaints, chief ly because - the carriers have an opportunity to :learn their routes so thoroughly that delivery ,nistakes become almost impossible. On the other hand, The Daily Collegian deliv- Q.ry . routes are faced with a complete 'turnover once or twice each year. Not only must the car rier learn an entirely new route at the beginning .3.r, the semester, but also he must expect daily changes and additions during the first couple of weeks when the subscription campaign is in full. swing. •At other Colleges, the daily newspaper is usual-: ly included in the tuition, and each student re ceives his paper at pick-up stations. Under that setup, it is the individual's responsibility - to get his own paper, since he has no more right 'to 'a copy than his classmate does. Many students feel that such a plan should he put into effect at Penn State, since everyone ..ivould get the paper at a slightly reduced rate. However, the plan is not as simple as it might , appear. First of all, the Collegian would have •Lo petition Cabinet to hold an All-College election 4 .:0 determine if the majority of 'students would :favor the necessary increase in fees to cover the subscription price. Even after receiving. the oanction of the student body, the plan would have to be accepted by the College Board of Trustees, which has generally been opposed to fee' hi* Despite the obstacles, the• Collegian staff feels :that there are decided benefits to be realized if .such a setup is .accepted. With that thought in !mind, plans are being formulated to include Penn 'State's daily newspaper on regular College fees. Foresters Aid "V" Weekend It all started several weeks ago. Then it was only a small idea—but one that was worth watch ing. In the short span of two weeks, the idea grew from an embryo stage and matured into plans for one of the biggest social events ever attempted on Penn State's campus. At first, it looked as though the extravaganza 'would be stymied before it got rightly started, ..:•biefly because one women's organization would riot cooperate in offering the use of the weekend previously scheduled for that organization's an mai dance. In searching for another date,• the Victory 'Weekend Committee approached the Forestry So- Qiety, which was willing to cooperate under the ,:ame contract that had previously been rejected by the women's organization. With the support of the Foresters, we need only repeat the statement that appeared in an earlier editorial, "Watch Victory Weekend Grow." --- _Richard D. Simmer ----_Robert M. Faloon Wintel Seymour Rosenberg Steve Sinichnk THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Letters To The Editor—. Clarifies Elections Committee Action Dear Editor, In answer to Cadmus Goss' let ter to the editor in yesterday's Daily Collegian, I would like to clarify a few conceptions and point out why the Elections Com mittee took the stand it did on the matter of All-College officers not returning for the Summer semester. In the first place, the Elections Committee made a ruling before All-College elections this past Spring that all candidates must agree to return for the Summer semester to be eligible to run for an office. The Committee may have made a mistake not putting teeth in this ruling. They merely left it up to the integrity of the candidates. It is hardly right for a candidate to run for office and not return to carry out his duties. Be this as it may, it seemed only logical and consistent that these offices be filled when the officers did not return. Since it would not be. practical to conduct an All-College election this Summer to fill these few minor offices, the Committee pro posed to Cabinet that these offices be filled by appointments of the presidents of the classes in which the vacancies occurred. It also seemed to the Committee that it would be best that these new of ficers finish out their. terms, even if the original officers returned in the Fall. Not only because the missing officers ignored the agreement to return this Summer but also since they would have to break into the middle of the year cold, not knowing what had transpired during the Summer months arid not up on the prob lems at hand. As for Mr. Goss' opinion of All- College Cabinet as merely a body which . accepts recommendations "without a murmur," I think the members of Cabinet might have a. different view on this subject. Instead of taking someone else's word for Cabinet's methods, Mr. Goss, as well as all other students, are welcome to attend Cabinet meetings and see first hand just 'how Student Government is con ducted. As for the Baird-Doherty case, an entirely different situation pre sented itself. Baird had made no agreement to return and the fact that he didn't return was entirely out of his control. In regard to the Elections Com mittee overstepping its power, the proposals made are merely, recommendations and as yet have not been voted on by Cabinet. If- Mr. Goss still feels that the course suggested by the Elections Com mittee is the wrong one he is `Miller Tops' AUSTIN, Texas, June 10—AOP —TWo dance bands—Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey—walked off with over half of the ballots cast in a' recent Student Opinion Sur veys of America poll conducted on college campuses all over the country to deterinine the students' favOrite dance orchestra.

Xavier Cugat, Freddie Mar- tin, (tie) • it is interesting , to compare• the results. of this survey With the re sults obtained in a recent poll con ducted by "Down Beat" leading dance band magazine, which did not confine the balloting to college students. In the latter, Glenn !Miller iwas voted the best sweet swing band; and Benny Goodman the "King of Swing." It is significant •to note that Tommy Dorsey ranked second in both the sweet and swing di vision's. Miller, however, was ranked• second to Guy Lombardo who was voted "King of Corn." Almost a year this month Stu dent Opinion Surveys asked stu dents the same question, and the first four bands last year are the four who were ranked first again this year. The only difference is in the order of the second, third, and fourth positions, and a break in a tie for fourth place. In 1941-- 1. Glenn Miller 2. Kay Kyser (Continued on Page Three) - . Lion /.
