Friday, June 26, 1942 The PSCA Attacks • The battle between All-College Cabinet and the Penn State Chrisitan Association has broadened 'into as many fronts as the present World War. One day the PSCA is striking at technicalities in the All-College constitution; the next day the Association is contesting the authority and power of the student Cabinet itself. Prior to last Tuesday's Cabinet meeting, the fight seemed to be focused on technical clauses in the student government constitution. The fight has been progressing in a manner becoming to any democratic governing group. On the floor of Cabinet, both factions offered proposals, argued, debated—just as any democratic body would set tle disputes. That was the picture as it appear ed prior to last Cabinet meeting. Then it happened. Without warning, PSCA opened up on another front. Now, there is noth ing underhanded about striking on a new front, as long as the attack is legitimate. Anything may be legitimate in a war—but this is student gov ernment. The new front appeared Tuesday night at Cabi net meeting, when the PSCA representative re fused to debate. By sitting mute, the representa tive stymied a democratic attempt to settle a dis .pute that has attracted campus-wide attention for more than a month. Not only did the PSCA refuse to debate, but it also started operations which are destined to con test the ultimate power of Penn State's student governing body. Instead of attempting to settle the dispute within Cabinet, the PSCA presented a copy of the letter which was•appealing the case to the Senate Committee on Student Welfare. This Senate Committee, composed mostly of Ad minigtrative members, will investigate the prob lem and pass judgment on a case that could have 'd)e.en settled just. as easily by student government. The Committee's verdict will be fair, and will be accepted by both the PSCA and Cabinet; but un- . derneath, the verdict will be a bloW to student government, regardless of whether or not the deci sion favors Cabinet. Student government may be called student gov ernment just as long as it is directed by students. This does not mean Jhat the Administration should never step in, because occasions may arise when 'both contesting parties believe that mediation by the Senate Committee offers the only solution 'to the dispute. But PSCA has slammed student government by prematurely appealing the case. Cabinet has been forced into the backseat along with demo cratic student government, and the case now rests on the decision of the Senate Committee. Send It To The Boys The Flying Nittany Lions, who are now training at the Naval flight base in North Carolina, ex pressed in a letter to The Daily Collegian that the "boys" greatly appreciate the copies of this paper which were mailed to them during the past few months. • The boys in North Carolina were not too subtle With their hint—so why not• collect a couple of back copies of the Collegian and mail them to some classmate who is now in the armed services of your country Downtown Office 119-121 South Frazier St Phone 472 Benjamin M.

Bell THE DAILY COLLEGIAN Through The Needle's Eye The issue of The Daily Collegian yesterday was an interesting sheet to us. We chewed a 'blade of grass reflectively and patted the camel on the • nose. . . "Kid," we said, "that's America." The camel wasn't much interested, but we stuck at it. "Kid," we said, "do you know what's going on around this place? Friday night we're going to have a fashion show. Mr. Gerald B. Maxwell Stein has taken time away from confusing the PSCtA-Cabinet issue to organize a play night for us folks. The most chic males on campus will whip around in the latest froth from fashion cen ters. isAnd, guess what, Kid? Next Tuesday 2,000 students are going to put their lives on the line for democracy on the fifth R-Day. Of course, it may not seem very important to you, Camel, old fellow. It just strikes us that this is quite a country We've got here. "You see, Kid, a couple of fellows named Kin ter and Kimmel wrote a feature in yesterday's sheet, too. It was very interesting, Kid. It said: `The blackout in general proved a good test for wardens and control men; showing their system as inadequate to take care of the unexpected hap penings that arose." The camel Shook his head sadly. "You catch on," we said. "'Here's Colonel Ardery waiting for word from the War Depart ment to see what's going to happen to students from Penn State. Two thousand students are registering for selective service; the boys and girls hold a fashion show; the Covens are holding a dance to give scholarships; Mortar Board's Draftee Drag seems to have disappeared. Kid, do you see what we mean? it's quite a country. "This PSCA is kicking up, quite a• fuss, too. We've been shaking our heads about them, too. We were looking in the All-Heaven Constitution just today, and Article H, Clause 3 says: 'Member souls shall have the right to create or destroy their own salvation.' It seems to us that the PSCA must have found a loophole in the 'All- Heaven Constittftion, because .it .certainly has challenged that right on the Penn State camptis." The camel rubbed his shoulder where is was sore from trying to go through the needle's eye. "Maybe it's a subtle point," we said. "But 2,000 students are going to register next Tuesday, and the blackout didn't work, and Jerry . Stein is run ning a fashion show." The camel sneezed. iiiimmiumunnimilimummiummiiiiiiimimminumuniuminnuonuunioniummuniummunnimm WASHINGTON—(ACP)—The .provision calling for . $19,090,009 in federal funds for wartime loans to students , majoring in physics, chemistry, engineering, medicine s dentistry..and pharmacy has .been squelched in .the House Appropriations Committee. An attempt to revive the measure is being made in the Senate. Meanwhile, the U. S. Office of Education is working on broad plans for next school. year which will integrate more closely than ever the work of the country's colleges and universities with the prograth for war. Among these plans is an expanded vocational training program that will provide technicril training to 300,000 . men and women at government expenSe, The courses will be given at 250 colleges and Universities. Journalists and professors proved the best "prophets" in antici pating the outbreak of war with Japan, according to a study made at Union College. The worst: missionaries and isolationists.. An office of EmergenCy, Management movie unit is now on the road to record on celluloid a few of the outstanding contributions colleges and universities are making to the war effort, The results will be edited doWn to a 10-minute short scheduled for general re lease next Fall. Those behind the project feel that colleges are doing "a whale of, a job" on the watt- prograM. As an example—they point to Purdue University, which is producing parts for war equipment under a sub - - contract from Washington Electric. Civil Service needs investigators and is willing to pay $2.600 a year to start. The exam titled "Junior Investigator" has 'just • been 'announced recently. Some of you Summer school students who are a little older than the average undergraduate may stand a' good chance. Requirements are three years of experience—in investigation, in law practice, or in "responsible positions requiring resourcefulness" etc. However, you may substitute for two years of the three years, two years of college work. You must be at least 25 years of age.- Ask' at your postof f ice for application blanks. . • campus Calendar Collegian sophomore dditorial board meeting.

Opening point in the PSOA's latest letter is that the writer of yesterday's editorial appealed to the President over the heads of Senate Committee, to whom the PSCA had filed a claim or appeal on Tuesday. Only • difference is that B. M. W.'s appeal was • liter ary while the PSCA's was official: Also, the test of democratic powers is not before a board of review, as Stein suggests, but on the floor of debate where both sides are presented. PSCA has refused to argue and have stood unafraid behind their legal ad visors.

C. (Nlany . 'of us never graduated and again. many of us did--but all seem to have the same outlook, everyone of us carries a little extra some thing down inside which is mem ory. Things are strict down here, as well they should be, but the switching from hell-raising col lege life into this system where hell is only a word has done much. to reawaken all of us. "Town li berty," the much cherished oppor tunity of having the permission to go into Chapel Hill, comes but on Saturday and Sunday between very closely guarded hours. No beer, no whiskey! Cokes, milk shakes, limeades—yes, this is what we get to drink. Fortunately, I'm lucky enough to be one of the fellows to re ceive a_ "Collegian" every day or so. And this rapidly hecpmes public property until finally it wears out from the endless fold- - ings. This- is my contact with Penn State. It is now practically our only active contact. Rushing customs, Lion Shrine— all the things that we were a part of at one time are made alive again—and thiS is no plug, rather it is a simple fact—almost entire= ly by "The Daily Collegian." I feel that I speak for the whole gang when I say that there isn't a thing, including 8 o'clocks, that we don't miss.. 5:30 each morn ing sounds somewhat like house party, but now after four weeks of it, I guess it was all a dream. Penn State at the dullest moment is glamorous—too bad more peo ple don 4 realize it. But this is not a soliloquy. It's merely to let you know that "The Daily Collegian" is honestly appre ciated these five or six hundred miles away from home. Kids will be just as enthusias tic about school letting out for vacation as mother won't. One of Them
