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

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.

`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.
