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-

. 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

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."

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

ACP Survey
10. 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.
