A Challenge
The Inter-fraternity Council deserves to take
1 . 4 bow for the foresight they showed in choosing
the Student Union theme for the decorating eon
-I.est this weekend. The subject is timely, and if
the results come up to expectations, many alumni
will leave State College impressed by our en-
Chusiasm for the project.
Can't the sororities with houses go ahead and
tiro .the same thing?
Because of their campus location. the sorority
creations would be viewed by many more alumni
than will the fraternities on the edge of town.
Also, such a move would give added evidence
of college-wide interest in the Union drive.
Besides. sororities seldom hav e the opportuni
ties for outward competition such as fraterni-
Cies have, It might prove to be an outlet for hid
den talents . .in which case some fraternities
»night. become emb a rassed.
'lch e lack of time might be considered as the
only drawback but more than likely will in
dicate where the resourcefulness lies.

Letters
A Reply to 'Russia'
TO THE EDITOR: The undersigned read with
interest the editorial entitled "Russia" in the
Collegian of October 10, and found that the
thought expressed, while being comniendable,
was quite naive.
After all, we, the student youth of the nation.
are the hope for a successful future and, as
such, should come out of the rosy, plush clouds
in which the well-meaning but equally naive.
Winkles, Peppers, Wallaces, etc., walk; and tread
on reality.
Your writer suggests that U. S. steer the world
away from power diplomacy. Power diplomacy—
there is a phrase being abused almost as much as
the word "propaganda."
Does he seriously 'believe that. the U. S. is
going to be any more willing to give up her
power position (which is what your power di
plomacy amounts to, than any other nation, say
Russia, would be? How much more realistic to
accept the concept of power and proceed to work
things out from there! The UN which breeds
fair to be highly successful, is based on the prin
ciple of power—witness the set-up of the Security
Council and th e veto poWer, so let us dispense
with this haphazard phraseology.
Since your writer wants to give us. background
for attempting to understand our former ally in
arms, may I suggest that 'before he writes his next
editorial on Russia, h e read a few articles by
Max Eastman, a former Communist, or the cur
rent best-seller "I Chose Freedom," by Victor
Kravchenko, or if he still doesn't understand, he
might obtain Stalik's own book, "Problems of
Leninism," which makes "Mein Kampf" seem
like a fairy tale in comparison.
May we have more realism on this issue in the
future and less quotations from our American
pinks unless accompanied by statements from the
other side? There is sufficient reliable informa
tion on th e subject for those who care to seek it
out.
Pollock Circle. Elections •
TO THE :EDITOR: This. is in reply to the
"gripe" letter from a supposedly uninformed
citizen of P. C. This citizen, in my estimation, is
erroneously proclaiming the ignorance ozd the
men of P. C.
For a week, a notice of the proposed election
was left in a conspicuous place in the dining
hall—listing time . and'place of the elections. Any
one who could read knew of the coming elections.
Anyone who could read was informed.
The lack o . A . men present for elections pointed
out the negative interest in electiOn spirit.
,The fact remains that,those present showed'
an interest in theirdormitOry and elected officerS
who represented their interest. •
An Informed Citizen of P. C

her beauty when you see her every day; but if she

'The Milky Way' lo Be
New‘Name of Cliff's
. Concluding their contest Satur
day, Cliff's will operate under its
new name, The Milky Way, con
tributed by two students, Earl M.
Lehman and Samuel Egler. The
contest promised to be a tie, due
to the fact that two people sub
mitted the s ame name.
Lehman, who first suggested th e
name The Milky Way, won the
prize of a free milkshake
_every
clay for a year. Egler received a
consolation award of a free milk
shake e very week for a year.
In addition to a new name, The
Milky Way plans new interior
decorations in keeping with its
name and the Colleg e colors.
Among other names submitted
to the contest were Cozy Counter
and Shake Shop.
