Editor Advertisirei Manager .A;;4istant "Advertising Manager __ Graduate Counselor Wednesday, July 8, 1942 The Battle Continues OVER A PERIOD of several months, Penn State students have watched the progress of the battle between All-College Cabinet and ,the Penn State Christian Association. Outwardly, the issues have been so involved rnd the fight so lengthy that most of the bystand ers have finally assumed an indifferent attitude. But, now the battle is drawing to a climax, and forthcoming decisions will greatly influence the lf.uture status of local student government. Tonight the Senate Committee on Student Wel fare will meet to discuss the PSCA-Cabinet ques libn. There are strong indications that the Com mittee will not offer a decision which will favor .either faction; but the meeting will at least bring out some of the Administrative opinions which 4Jave' been anticipated by both disputing parties. More Laughter Wanted "SOME THINK the world is made for fun and laughter . . ." - Far be it from us to drop our mourning robes sand pick up the epheneral veils of a gamboling pixie to run madly across the Mall. However, when we hear such lifting tunes pouring from a community sing in Schwab Auditorium we tend to forget weighty problems about- which we are worrying. We are referring to .those problems which concern us no more and are worth no more than last week's unused sugar coupon. Still we worry. • One of the best things to worry about now is the. Summer sessions recreation and social pro gram. It is amazing how few people other than the Summer sessions students themselves find time to worry about it. These school teachers and graduate students certainly didn't come up here merely for "fun and laughter." Yet there has been a traditional acceptance of Penn State as an institution where the lighter side of college life balances the rigors of piling up credits for a degree. This year the lighter side is•being buried under the accelerated program. We have heard Summer sessions students voice their opinions on the lack of expected recreation. This year it seems there .are fewer mixers, fewer informal parties and it is a real job to get ac onainted. Fun nights help but the job is too big 'to be handled like that. The Summer sessions .. recreation committee is faced with .a difficult task arid is meeting the situation as best it can. • Mere events like the open air square dance to be sponsored by WRA would be helpful. However, it seems that if any further decisive action is to be taken it must come from those directly con cerned. Other people have their own worries. If there is enough initiative on the part of a small group of Summer school students to start a series of hot dog parties, vic dances, etc. the group may, with enough .publicity, rally all interested to the shindigs. Cooperation of undergraduate organizations will probably be forthcoming once Summer session desires a;stime concrete form. We can help. For a while at least we are not going to worry bout it ____ -_____Maiy Janet Winter Pete Scott Adolph L. Belser A. Kenneth Sivitz John D. Neel _Louis H. Bell THE DAILY COLLEGIAN A Worm's Eye View . . . Basking In Butter We were contentedly basking in a butter-pud dle of sunshine on a corner of the carpet in the Hugh Beaver Room when a piece of paper flut tered on top of us. We measured it, and found out that it was 8 1 / 2 xll inches. From where we were sitting it looked like a letter. And it was. With all the loud voices shouting in the PSCA- All-College -Cabinet feud, we didn'•t want to get stuck in the slapstickiness of the brawl, but we read that letter, and it didn't measure up. Bitter From The Sweet It was written by a sweet girl named Jean Hershberger, who to our jaundiced eye would much rather be embroiled in the Penn State Play ers than in a feud for PSCA. In fact, the letter didn't sound 'as if it was written by that sweet girl at all. - We squinted a couple of times and read: "Mem bers of All-College Cabinet knowingly and delib erately had the Collegian Publish a new edition of the Constitution which contained language suit able to the purposes of the leaders of All-College Cabinet." That didn't sound so good. That sound ed as if PSCA said Cabinet was a group of scoun drels swayed by their feW leaders. 'Taint Basic . Then sweetly Miss Hershberger said: "Cabinet . . proposed two amendments . . . While these amendments do.not touch the fundamental ques tions at issue, they do affect the discussions... . Cabinet wishes to . . be able to eject 'the - PSC:A for failure to comply with its mandate." We wrig gled out of the Hugh Beaver Room as quick as a date to Soph Hop. • We were going to shrug our shoulders like the rest of the campus until we realized we don't have any shoulders. So-we just figured that PSCA was pretty silly to talk about the Collegian printing any kind of official copy of the constitution when Collegian is not The All-College Cabinet. It seems to us that the whole Cabinet voted on this situation—not just a few student leaders. We'd rather sleep in a puddle of sunshine, but we've been so confused about the PSCA's attitude of mixing a technical constitutional question on one hand with the question., of PSCA's attack on edbinet's fundamental power on the other. For Rent: One Mess We think if PSCA wants to fight the Constitu tion, let it do it properly—through Cabinet. If PSCA wishes to question Cabinet's poiver, PSCA work through the six-man investigation board suggested by President Hetzel. But let's not mix the two.

That Jap boast . about taking the Philippines in a month suggests a new calendnx-21 days to the `Three Things Elude Bombs' "This is the seventh day of the seventh month since the bomb- jugs of Pearl Harbor. "And in spite of all the bombs dropped by the Japanese, Ger mans, Americans and Russians, there remain three things, three survival values that no bombs can ever touch," Rabbi Alexander Alan Steinbach, of the Jewish Chautauqua society, asserted last night before a group gathered in 110 Home Economics to hear his address on "Things That Bombs Cannot Destroy." In his address, Rabbi Steinbach stressed the importance of a per son's individual standards, main taining the necessity of "striving for the 'promised land' which lies beyond the 'Red Sea' that keeps us from performing our duty." To emphasize this point, Rabbi Steinbach retold the story of the flight of the Hebrews . from Egypt across the Red Sea. Rabbi Steinbach stated that the spirit of altruism, a selfless devo tion to others, while only a spark, could not be destroyed arid that "love thy neighbor as thyself" is a standard to : strive for even though it seems psychologically impossible at the 'present. The third value that Rabbi Steinbach felt beyond the reach of bombs was men's common ances try with each other. Again look ing into the .future, he told his audience that one day men will realize their common ancestry. 9 Freshmen Make Debate Squad Nine freshmen have been sel ected for the yearling debate squad, according to John B.
