Bell Saturday, June 20, 1942 Answering 'Murals Go-By' 31f you're one of those students who reads The Daily Collegian while enjoying a three-minute i,reakfast prior to an eight o'clock class, you were probably somewhat surprised as you scanned the article, "Murals Get Go-by," which appeared on this page Thursday morning: Even though the article was not written by a Collegian staff member, it was published on the basis that this paper's columns are open to all contributions, which may or may not be publish ed, depending on'the decision nf the staff. 'The murals were rejected by the Board 'of 'Trustees - because . the Board felt that the three class proposal .of paying for the project was not 'secure. And the Board was right. America has Ilung itself into war, and iCollege enrollment has 'dropped considerably. 'This enrollment drop has `meant a decrease in income from class gifts, which was the source from which the College would have .paid for the proposed murals. The College would *lave been slightly unhappy if it found that there 'was a shortage .of three or four 'thousand dollars when it came time to pay 'Mr. Poor for his murals. Probably the sadly 'misguided , person who wrote the article, "Murals Get Go-By," was high-. ly dissatisfied with the Trustees' decision. Yes, the article was well-written, with plenty of sar casm and ridicule, and several subtle angles. But, it reeked with poor taste, and carried the conno tation of the small child who had just been de orived of a piece of candy. By publishing the article, we hoped that the mural advocate would Sind through public opinion just how wrong he could be in presenting his case. 'Maybe. the pro-mural boys still think they're cor -sect, but the Trustees' 'argument carries tremend ous weight as 'the result of recent developments .an our economic life. Why waste money on murals during an emer gency? Instead of spending the class gift funds on proposed murals, the i plass of '42 decided to 'invest in $5,000 worth of defense bonds which will - mature in 20 years and provide funds to set up scholarships for the children of the Class of 1942. Send It To The Boys Among several suggestions that have !found their way into this office is one that has possibil ities of aiding the men 'from 'Penn State who are in the .armed services of the nation. After you have read your Daily Collegian, why :not put it in.a package with several other College publications and send it to a Penn State man at some Army camp or navy base. By following this practice each week, you can do a big part in :keeping old classmates informed about certain 'campus events which are still deemed important .41)y service men. Gasoline Headaches . 'lf it isn't a rubber shortage that's bothering the Vederal government, it's a gasoline sh . ortage. Any way you look at it, there IS a shortage and many :comedies are under consideration. Simon Lake, inventor of the submarine, is en-. gaged in perfecting a new type of concrete 'pipe, 'which will lbe able to withstand terrific internal pressure. By substituting these pipes for ones •ccinstruCted of steel, Lake believes that it would ,;ave thousands of tons of steel, which , will be needed to build the oil pipe lines now being con sidered by Congress. By constructing these pipe :lines, the government hopes to solve the gasoline shortage on the East coast.

It's only a matter of time before the rabbits inherit the earth. This isn't guesswork. It is a scientific fact that ;whereas man devotes only three per cent of his time to love, the rabbit is in there pitching every minute. And he pays no taxes. Don't let this get around, but we are very gloomy about the future •of man. Patter On The Mail Senior Class prexy Dave McAleer wants a date for Soph Hop 'cos Fran Haley will not be on cam pus ...
