PAGE TWO Les Brown and his orchestra will play for an lAll-College dance to ,be held at Recreation Hall on May 24, All-College Cabinet announced at its meeting last night. The contract was signed ?late yesterday afternoon. Now What ? According to tradition and their charters, Froth is the campus humor magazine, and Portfolio, the literary publication. --- But during the war, campus publications went the way of many campth activities, and were either modified or suspended. The Daily Colle gian became a weekly, Froth went out of exis tence, and Portfolio drifted into obscurity. With the beginning of the Fall semester, the New Portfolio came out, stating as its policy, "to enter tain," 'but making no mention of its charter com mitments as a literary periodical. The fact that Portfolio has the right "to enter tain" is undeniable, but whether or not it has the right to enter the humor field is questionable. Humorous essays, such as those written by Mark Twain and James Thurber, are both liter ary and humorous. Portfolio has attempted this type of article in its recent issues, and has every right to do so. But Portfolio has also published iokes and cartoons, which are not generally con sidered literary. Now the antagonist enters the picture. Froth .is seeking permission to return as the official campus humor magazine; and plans to publish its first issue this semester. What will happen to the New Portfolio? If Portfolio retains its present policy, Penn State will have two humor publications. And. Penn State has no need for two humor magazines, especially. twhen there is no literary periodical, • collegian suggests that portfolio issue a clear statement of its, policy for the futures Does it' intend to stay in the semi-literary 'hurnor field and compete with Froth, or will it return to its original literary policy? Sign Em, Please t Each week Collegian receives a number of Letters to the Editor which never appear in the paper, simply because they, are not signed.
