Production . •
Prestige...or Money?
On the 22nd and 23rd of thi s month, students
will flock to the Armory to cast their ballotS for
candidates nominated for college and class offices.
tliQ nominations of both parties are all slated, the
campaign s heavily unde r way.
[Right now it might be wise to consider nfl of
tho many candidates and make decisions as to
which you think may be the best for the particular
offic e he or she is after.. A good basis for this con_
14[deration rests upon mainly three objectives: (1)
Production. (2) the want for prestige, or (3) the
money involved as compensation for th e office
held. •
[Reflect a bit on the first point. Is the candidate
octually educated to the fact that his main duty.
if he is elected, will be to produce—to produce
within his powers of office those things which will
be in the best interest of the student body and will
make for a better Penn State? If you believe that
the candidate knows thi s and will do his very
ntinost to bring these things about, then cast your
vote ,for
[But also think a little about the second point. Is
1;11‘. candidate a person of high ego? Will he relish
the privilege of holding office? Or in other words,
is he a "hand-shaker" and a "baby-kisser"? If he
is this type of individual, then you can feel rela
tively certain that his mai n objective in achieving
office will be to gain prestige . . . and nothing
more.
Th e third point needs little clarification. Many
candidates are prone to be mercenary,. wanting to
gain the fruits of holding a political position with
out doing the work that such a position involves.
This. type of candidate, you can be sure, will only
liv e for the day when he will be able to collect his
compensation check, preferring to coast along
merely upon his title.
There is little doubt that the man who will pro
duce.will be th e man for the job, while the other
types will be nothing more than representatives of
a political machine interested in benefitting the
fe+w at th e expense of the many.

Artists' Setie..
Last week, the Collegia n -carried a front page
story on the lengthy lines of students and faculty .
metubers waiting in the lobby of Old Main .for
izsuance of priority numbers for the Artists Series.
As long as Schwab Auditorium remains the larg
eq meeting hall on campus, there will always be
:lengthy lines .The reason is easily understood
when you consider that whil e Pen n State has a
student body of nearly 7,000, - Schwab Auditorium
has a seating capacity of 1,400. According to a re
port though, of the 1,400 seats available for the
Artists Series, only 50 per cent are set asid e for
th e student body. The other 50 pe r cent of seating
capacity is provided for the faculty members and
townspeople.
Selfishness i s not a thing that we encourage.
But When less than 1 1 2 per cent of the students are
able to attend the Artists Series, w e think that a
statistical investigation i s in order. Some more
systeM of ticket distribution between the
students and faculty merrAbers ought to be devised.
As for the townspeople, we would really love to
hav e thern---;but somebody told u s ther e is a seat
ing as well as a housing shortage.
4 While it is possible that the e ntire student
allotment will not be met, we cannot help but pr-
Yer the Colgate University method bf distributing
Packets. We quote from th e October 2 issue of the
Colgat e Maroon: "At least a thousand students are
expected to attend (the University concert and lec
iure series) which means that there will be fewer
than 400 vacancie s for townspeopl e and faculty
)1) embers."

Democracy?
During the war, a fellow who had no sym
pathy at all for the problems of the U. S. Negro
population was stationed at an Army camp in
the heart of the Deep South. One evening, he
and his
~.b uddy journeyed in to the small Missis
sippi town near the camp. During the course
of the evening, they happened to stop a Negro
soldier and ask him a favor. While they stood
talking •on the street corner, the young fellow
placed his hand on the shoulder of the Negro
GI to support himself. The local police drove
by, came to an abrupt stop, reached out and
grabbed the Negro soldier into the back seat of
the patrol car, and proceeded to beat him for
his close fraternization with whites. Stunned by
Swiftness and turn of events, the young fellow
poked his head into the back of the patrol car
and said, "What's going on here?" Before he knew
it, he too, was seized by strong arms and beat
into unconsciousness. Since this amazing, almost
unbelievable happening a couple of years ago,
young fellow has acquired a deeper under
standing of the particular problems facing the
largest U. S. minority group.
This story is told here because the fellow it
happened to is a student at Penn State now and
because it emphasizes a point that should con
stantly be recalled to the minds of all , of us. That
point is that the problems of our colored vopula
lion are not so, much the resiiiinsbility of the Ne
groeS, but rather their solution is the une§capable
responsibility and duty of,the whites in the U .S.
There is no denying that the Negro people are
disproportionately represented among the lowest
strata of the social and economie:-order in the
U. S. Being where they are on the scale, they as a
group, also have most of the undesirable charac
teristics prevalent in that strain. Because of this,
we are inclined . to condemn them, forgetting
that probably the main reason for 'their present
16w status is that we', the white population of the
U. S., have never put forth a sincere, whole
hearted effort to lift them from serfdom.
To restate the words •of Lincoln—" This nation
cannot long endure half-slave and half-free'." By
a bloody, costly, Civil War and by amendments to
the. Constitution, we have freed the Negro—on
paper. However, until we begin to practice what
we preach, the Negro problem will remain the
Slackest mark on a democracy we Profess to be
pure white.

TO THE EDITOR: In r eply to Mr. Moore's letter
published in the Collegian Tuesday, I would• like
to state the following
1. If Mr. Moore had read the editorial More
carefully, he would have noticed that at no time
did it suggest appeasement to Russia. What was
suggested, to my way of thinking, was that when
we oppose Russia we should do it on the basis of
Principle and not on the basis of what may or may
not be expedient for th e U. S. As the Collegian
writer pointed out, if we do not approve of Rus
lian tactics i n Iran, then we should not support the
British policy in Greece. Our foreign policy s hould
be founded on principles rather than on our par
ticular likes and dislikes of other countries.
2. Mr. Mooie suggests that we accept the real
istic "concept of power" and work from there.
Hovirever, if he would study history closely, he
would see that any peace that has been based on
such a concept has never been kept for long. - We
411 know that. s hould there b e another war, the
U. S. has the most to lose. So, all our actions now
should be based on preventing another major .eon.
filet rathe r than on lining up allies to help us
win it. •

EARL KEMMITAR

Baby Arrives to 8 Mothers
A dainty card announcing the
"arrival of our baby" came to the
office of Miss Pearl 0. Weston,
dean of women, a few days agg.

houses on campus, Benedict House,
Beecher House, and Hill Crest
where home economic majors
living in those houses give them
expert care—including a 2 a. m.
feeding.
June Irvin, child director of
Benedict House, described Jeanie..
"She has blue eyes, lots of black
hair, and a real tiny.noie."
Jeanie, like other babies before
her, is already mistress of the
house. "But we aren'•t spoiling
her," said Miss ,Irvin, speaking foi
the seven other mothers, - i6o.
