Election Day
~Next Tuesday, November 5, is voting day.
The" College, in reply to a request made by the
local American Veterans Committee chapter, has
duty by suspending classes on that day,
ibus enabling students to go hoiheNand vote with
out, missing any academic work. Now in turn, we
the students who are eligible to participate in the
electing of our leaders must show our good faith
by vending next Tuegday in the performance of•
out civic duty and not in utilizing it as just an
other collegiat e holiday.
itt, is almost needless to stress the importance of
the eledtions a week from today. In PennsylVania,
we are considering not only representatives for
<;on•g'ress,, but also candidates for our own state
government. In order to aid students to vote in
these ernicial elections, Collegian will daily pub
)ish, fre e of charge, a list of rides available near
e lection day to different districts in the state.

TO THE EDITOR: The lecture given by Robert
i3t. John last week and the resulting response was
_nie of th e healthiest and most heart-warming
I've seen in State College in many a day.
• 'Before the war such stimulation would have
been difficult to evoke. Perhaps it's because the
is more mature; perhaps it's due to the elo
quence of St. John.
itvly guess is that students are thinking more
these days. It's unfortunate that the people who
:Attend such lectureS are the very ones who don't
Deed them.
With few shortcomings, "the gospel according to
St. OW was, in my °Pinion, disturbingly realis

Tough Times
Ther e are times when an editor, after hearinlg
til e many sides of a many-sided issue, feels that
no one in particuaar must be asked to shoulder the
blame or be the goat.
Now you take th e rumors that have been circu
lated about our football team and the Hig since our
upset at the hands of Michigan State last week.
Some students say get rid of the Hig . . . he's
been here too long. Others say, get rid of the team,
they're too old and fat.
It is my frank opinion that this is all so much
hog-wash.
I don't put the blame on the team for . its show
ing against Michigan State land Colgate: Just Wiry
should they knock their brains out any more than
they have to? They ' re' not getting paid to take the
kind of a beating that they do. -
Sure they take a beating as it is (if you don't
believe me, take a look at thenumber of men in-;
jured this season), but if they were really being
paid they'd put out a lot more.
Why doesn't the Hig push them more than he
does? Oh yes, he pushes them—as , much as he
dares. But then he can only do so much pushing,
You know. If he were - td become a slave-driver a
few of the boys might just take their dolls and go
home . . . after all, the government is paying most
of them $65 a month; that sum isn't being matched
by the athletic association.
Many may long for the good old days, when it
was a terrific honor to belong to a varsity colle
giate team. But that doesn't include the average
colleg e student of today, if he's an ex-G.I.
Funny - thing about having a varsity "S" . . . it
didn't impress anyone in the service . . . least of
all the Germans or th e Japs
You can't tell a kid , to do-or-die for dear old
Siwash, any more. The Hig's smart. He sees. thiS
bit of truth, in my opinion. Instead of wasting Ws
time "rah-fah-ing" the 'boys, he keeps himself busy
(as he should) with staying on the good side of
alumni and explains to anyibOdY who'll listen that
we need freshmen . . . who aren't being subsidized
by the government, and who haven't strayed too
far from home yet. •

to throw flinch money our way--they. represent,'
for the most part, men and women in th e middle
income !brackets who don't have too much money
to toss towards the College.
Then too, let's consider the College's attitude.
They're rather proud of the fact that we. aren't in
any cut-throat subsidation rat-race. After all, we're
not in College to play football, or just turn out
winning teams. • _
..So, who do we blame? If you want winning
teams, pay them: pay them enough so that the
couch can fire Them if they don't produce. Pay the
coach a fabulous sum also, so you can fire him if
he doesn't produc e winning teams.
If you don't care for underwriting a football
team. then don't complain—either get out there and
play (or pay) yourself or do as many of us will . . .
sit in the stands and sweat it out for sikty-minutes
every Saturday.
