In the mail which passes daily over the editor's desk were several pieces of correspondence op posing the Daily Collegian's foriner practice of -.accepting ads • containing disbriminatory• or pre ' dadicial material. The word former is used be cause the Collegian no longer accepts such ads. it may be a poor time to start discriminating about what ads this paper will print, especially with financial conditions the way they are, but evenif the paper does lose some revenue by turn ing down a "Christian boys preferred" ad ,the better feeling on campus will be worth it. The new policy isn't necessarily a turn-about, for this is a new staff. Collegian had no rule per.. Laining to this matter in the last regime --it does now that the new set of names are in the mast head. This publication's slogan and by-word is" For A Better Penn State," an ideal which the old poli cy would not help. This is a free country. Whether a person chooses to worship one way or another is his own affair and a sacred privilege. This na tion was strengthened by persons fleeing Europe for religious freedom generations ago—by per .i;ons who prided themselves in their toleration— by persons whom many students are lineal de.. .vcendants. Collegian for the rest of this editor's adminis tration has its columns closed to anything dis .criminatory. Although it is unfortunate the inci dent occured, the paper hopes to make amends with the new policy, and thanks to those who t:ik.e interest in its columns to call such matters to the editor's attention. It will make for "A )letter Penn State." Books And Freedom Wendell Willkie last night appealed for the con•- tinuing place of the Liberal Arts in wartime, and emphasized that "We cannot win a true victory unless there exists in this country a large body of liberally educated citizens." He admitted, how•- ever, that war brings a necessary change. "Today we are engaged in a desperate war, and we need for the fighting forces almost all the :young men who would, normally, have had an opportunity to acquire a liberal education. It is >lght and proper that these young men should abandon their education temporarily and go forth to fight. It is right and proper that the universi ties of this country should turn over to the armed forces whatever facilities can be made useful. The government is moving very vigorously in this direction and no patriotic citizen will fail to co operate." After pointing out we should "preserve -through the women of America, the continuity of the lib <:al arts," the one-time presidential aspirant 'Com mented, "The destructionof .the tradition of the Liberal Arts, at this crisis in our' history - ,when :freedom is more tha never. at stake, would- mean gangsterism. Burn your books—or what ,w punts to the same thing--neglect your books— :,od you will •lose freedom, as surely as if . you \vere to invite Hitler and hi henchmen. to rule Distributor of Downtown Office 119_121 South Frazier St. Phone 4872 :Staff: This 1135110 r,•:.arner Adolpr Heiser Rose-anne Schulman Bud Winnan CLEVER COMMENTS illimiliniiimuninimptimunnuilimiliß y F re d E. clever For over a week now we've lived in fearful expectancy. Something—an intangible something —seemed to be missing from this heaven of col legiana. It suddenly struck us last night that our feeling of uneasiness arose because All-College Cabinet has not issued one decree,,prohibited one student activity, punished one violator, delivered one•ultimaturn,'or made one investigation so far: this semester: Like sitting on a keg of gun powd er, isn't it? " . • . . . Our Good Name!' Since we've come back from our vacation we've failed to hear more than a feW brief comments on the great crisis that -Penn State, and particu larly Mont Alto, under-graduate ,center for fora esters, weathered during our absence. We are not sure of our facts on the incident— nobody on Campus is absolutely . certain how things got started—but the story goes something like thiS: The administration decided (or whoever does the deciding around here) that Mont Alto was no longer a paying propositiop. A high-preksure real estate salesman was called in to dispose of the property. With the courage of a housewife shopping for her four ounces of but ter the salesman, after pestering a dozen .govern ment agencies, found one that was - willing to buy the center. • Lonip R. gen When the shocking details reached the alert ears of President Hetzel, ..he immediately ordered that the proceedings be dropped. It seems that the salesman is a humanity loving sort of chap, who, like the government bureau he Was doing business with, deplored the predica ment of th 4 `diseased.- courtesans ,oUste . d, from the establishments near army` camps. Mont Alto was to be their new haven. Philadelphia news papers in April, 1940, gave our•institution enough notoriety. Thank goodness this 'attempt was nip mi in the bud. • The Come Back Plagiarizing an important Philadelphia news paper, which formerly belonged to a man promin ent in the horse racing world, and at the same time stealing a comment on a subject that rightly belongs to Mr. Balley, our sports editor, we'd like to pass on the following story about "Whitey" Von Neida, who is currently pacing the Lion bask etball team in scoring. Exactly 14 years ago, there was another Whitey Von Neida playing basketball for Penn State— an uncle of the current edition. On one fateful night in 1928 the Nittany Lions met, and were defeated 23-21 by a Penn team. Whitey, 1943 style, then a youth of five sum- mers, was on hand to see the game.

Whitey was a considerable factor in another Philly team's defeat last week. He says.•.he's "partly satisfied." May the Melody Linger On!
