Nothing Personal
• ALTHOUGH THE dispute between All-College
Cabinet and the Penn State Christian Association
has attracted campus-wide attention for several
months, there is still one angle in the squabble
'which has not attracted its share of attention.
It may be said now on the eve of the climax of
this battle that the Cabinet vs. PSCA fight has
not been a personal affair between the two
bodies. Neither one has resorted to muck slinging
tactics, and most of the dispute has been carried
aboVe board by means of legislative debate.
At 'time9, it might have appeared to most stu
dents that this battle would develop into one of
personal hatreds, and that regardless of the out
come, there would always be an existing barrier
of belief separating Cabinet and the Christian 'As
sociation.
This opinion is entirely incorrect. As the dis
pute stands at present, both factions are fighting
over a principle in financial organization. The
PSCA believes that it should not be necessary to
have its funds centralized in the Associated Stu
dent ActiVities office where all other student or
ganizations have their funds supervised by the
College.
Cabinet, on the other hand, has declared that
The PSCA must comply with this program of cen
tralizing funds, or pay the penalty by forfeiting
its membership on All-College Cabinet. In pro
test, the Christian Association has declared that
Cabinet has no power to enforce this issue—and
in rebuttal that Cabinet has stated that .it has the
Power to make thePSCA fall in line with other
carripus organizations.
. Since neither faction will compromise, the bat
tle has fallen into a stalemate and action is now
being taken to bring about some settlement with
out the aid of 'any decision on the part of the Col
lege Administration.
Pitt Stays Here
RUMOR IS loose again, this time with the story
that the Pittsburgh alumni are putting on the
pressure to have the Pitt-Penn State game trans
ferred from New Beaver Field to the Pitt Sta
dium. The reason given for the proposed switch
is the additional income.
• But that won't help the students, who have to
stick close to campus, what with the gasoline and
tire shortages, and the dearth of holidays. Cut
ting classes isn't what it used to be, and it's no
fun to take off two days, and come back to find
yourself almost a week behind, under the war_

' Then, too, the students have been kicking in
With the $7.50 each semester for the AA books,
with not too much personl;ret'uill . 01i the invest
ment;
race of these facts, it would seem
t.).t one of,t'ne brightest, spots in the Pall oolen
dar should not be 'dulled by the loss of the. Pitt
game.
' Granted, $15,000, which is the profit estimated
to be gained by transferring the game to Pitts
burgh, is a lot of money, but just picture your
self curled up with your feet on the radiator next
November 21 thinking about the money in the
bank instead of ripping out a rousing "Fight On
'State" up on New Beaver Field, and you can be
gin to see what's what.
The Administration wants to have the game
where the students want it. 'titre say it's our turn.

Another semester . . . another Soph Flop as far
as coeds are concerned. Granted:- This rag de
cided in years past to camouflage the coed-import
hatchet, dress it up with a "Oh, hell, who wants
to go anyhow," and forget to remember that after
all (Ripley would love this) coeds are huinan.
And so an ode to the Night Before when the
last glimther of hope begins to melt away like
butter in a hot skillet.

T'was the night before Soph Hop

The ring of the telephone
Caused coeds - to Swami..
The imports had come
For the weekend to stay
And coeds were grieving
"Another big day . . ." -
While import in her glamor
And coed in her fear
Saw the hour approaching
When Charlie Was here.
With laugh that was jolly
All the men had forgot
But coeds, like elephants,
Surely would not.
191 'This Corner
And even though Charlie Ridenour claims that
most men cherish old fashioned ideas about State
College's women-folk, we disclaim his theory to
point to the following two-somes who will mimic
a modern minuet Friday. Beanie Siebert and
Jack Hanley, Sigma Nu; Betty Miller, ChiO, and
Jess Fardella, white man of the campus clique;
Peg Sherman and Don Davis; Hazel Gissman and
unbeknowst ensign; Kathie Osgood and ye. ex-stu
dent editor, Ross Lehman.
Ten To One Odds
We will give ten to one odds that Mortar
Board's annual blowout will make Soph Hop look
floppier than ever. And thusly we nominate for
the title of Danny Draftee none other than Leon
Rabinowitz with Ted Clauss running a close . sec

ENTRY CASE TO BE

Would be preventing admission of
Pennsylvanians.
On May 16, however, Carl A.
Marquardt, College examiner, ad
mitted that the politely-Worded
refusal was merely the diplomatic
way of backing out—that it was
really the Japanese parentage of
the American students thai pre
vented their admission.
He added bait if it were not tor
the "present situation," there
would be no question about their
entrance into Penn State.
Nfeanwhile, as details of the Ex
aminer's action became known,
certain students and faculty mem
bers began to question the justice
of the decision. A dangerous pre-

cedent, they feared, was in the
making. .
Using the "present situation" as
an excuse • for discrimination
against certain of our citizens, they
argued, would be losing the battle
before we had a chance to win it.
Attention was called to the fact
that hundreds of students now on
campus have parents who came
from Germany and Italy, our" other
wartime enemies.
The "volunteer defenders," re
cently organized under Donald D.
Stevenson, head of the depart
ment of forestry, and John R. Ad

ods of testing student body's opin
ion on the decision t...t the Examin
