The much talked about political figure, Henry
Wallace, is scheduled to talk at the College on
'Monday, November 25. Recent developments have
made him a box office attraction, and already a
steady hum of anticipation has gripped lh e cam
pus. Everyone you talk to wants to hear Wallace
speak, and whats more they believe they’ll have
th 0 opportunity.
The truth of it is, that not more than 1500 peo
ple can crowd into Schwab for the lecture. If the
affair. were moved to Recreation Hall, approxi
mately a thousand more persons could attend. The
best seats could b e reserved for those who pur
chased tickets for the complete Forum Series.
It might be well for the Forum committee to
consider the change; it will sav e a lot of people
from being disappointed. — Lawrence G. Foster
Class Meetings
The first class meetings of the college year have
been scheduled for this evening at 7 o’clock. Sen
iors, Juniors and Sophomores will meet with new
ly elected class officers presiding.
• Hast- year, the student turn-out for class meet
ings was very poor. Yet, a large number of “letter
to t.h e editor” gripes were received by Collegian.
Class meetings are held so that student sugges
tions might bo had andithat the worthy sugges
tions be presented befor e All-College Cabinet for
consideration.
'lt is urged that students interested in voicing
opinions an'd learning the functions of student
government attend tonight’s meetings.

Some Problems ..
TO THE EDITOR
You have previously expressed your desire to
receive letters and comments about tli e problems
existing cn the campus, and how these may be sol
ved. Several things, both larg e and small, have
oom e to my attention as needing some considera
tion from the students and the faculty.
Along with many others I stood a total of four
hours to get AA books. To th e returning service
man who spent much of his time in. service hurry-'
ing from one plac e to another so he could stand
in line longer, and,to the civilian, tired of soap,
nylon, meat, and innumerable other lines, this was
a very disgusting and a tiresome waste of time.
The ticket room contains three windows and one
or two d.oors, but only two windows, and some
times one, were open. Does this make sense?
What about th e scheduling of athletic events?
Frequently the soccer games are played at the
same time as the football games. Why is it not pos
sible to schedule the soccer games a half-hour
earlier and the football games a half-hour later!
While soccer is classed as a minor sport compar
ed to football (it doesn’t bring in as much money),
the interest in soccer is certainly not increased by
this needless oversight.
Another point that ,has com e Jo my attention is
the penalty of "campusing" a girl who comes in
late. This in itself may be alright, but when the
penalty falls /on a girl because a visitor of hers
comes in late, this Is too much. The real penalty
is not that a girl is kept in ia Weekend, hut, as I
understand it, that a person who has been cam
pused once can never inter into administrative
positions in student activities, all of which is a
bout as logical as shooting a man at dawn because
his grandfather once returned a book Id the li
brary ten minutes late.
Consider the sorest spot of all—the housing sit.
uation. Michigan, Illinois, and Northwestern are
making honest efforts to place their graduate stu
dents and faculty members in houses. Illinois, for
one, made marvelous progress on a housing pro
ject until the federal government took over and
thoroughly red-taped and hamstrung the whole
affair. We talk of field houses, student unions,
and, of all things, an armory. Let us see that not
’a single bit of vital material is used in these pro
jects, necessary as the student union is, until ev
ery person connected with the college is situated
in quarters which are entirely to his liking. •
There ar e other disagreeable situations in need
of correction which cannot be considered in this
letter, such as the inefl'icienicies of the registration
system, discrimination against sorority building,
political rivalries between departments, slave
wages paid faculty and clerical workers, the smug
“go-to-heU” attitude and the -obvious bandit-like
tendencies of m'any of the townspeople who would’
die a parasite’s death without the college, the reg
ulation against movies on Sunday. ’
What is to be done about these things? In many
cases it will take much effoht and solid thinking
on the part of all. Remember’ that State College
exists because of, and only because of, the College,
and it should be the faculty and Students who de
cide th e policies which will be of the greatest, ben- '
efit-.t0.a1l concerned. , — B. C. Johnson
A Gripe
Gripes are the universal outlet for a man’s emo
tions. “Let off steam here’ is a jirovincial heading
for a newspaper’s letters-to-the-editor column.
This writer, as a member of the stiff of The Daily
Collegian, would like to see in black an'd white all
the gripes you students have about The Daily Col
legian, together with constructive suggestions.
That is the only way the staff will ,'be able to give
you what you want in a college publication.
Corner Room remarks, sly slanders* tossed "into
the air won’t do it. The Daily Collegian, like most
privately owned newspapers in every city and
town in the United States has as its prime pur- "
pose, servic e to the community—the community,
in this case, being the College and its students. If .
you think something went. snafu, if you think .
some action ought to be taken, kindly let us knew
in black and white. Collegian policy requires- that
you sign your letters to the editor, but you r name
will be withheld from publication if you so de
sire. —Marilyn Jacobson

Plane Zooms;
No Bombs Fall
'Residents of Centre county spy
ing a twin-enlgined Beechcrafl fly
ing at law altitude need have no
fear of a bomb being dropped.
It’s all part of a survey started
by the U. S. Geological Survey
and the Experiment Station of the
School of Mineral Industries at
the College. It is a project initi
ated' as a result of a state grant of
$50,000 appropriated to further
the development of new. as well
as known,, oil reserves in Pennsyl
vania.
Erom material recorded on in
shrummts -carried in the plane,
the geological structures of the
pro-camibi’ian rock .under the sur
face can be plotted, Dr. Sylvain J.
pirson, of the laboratory of ap
plied' Reoiphysics and geochemistry
at the College, explained l . By
studying the structures, areas that
may contain oil or gas- reserves
can be determined.
The magnetic detector is sus
pended on a cable of wires ■ that
are attached to - the various in
struments in the plane. The sys
tem that will be used was devel
opedl during the war and! was
found very effective in locating
enemy submarines by detecting
the magnetic disturbance which
they created.
'Aerial photographs of the area
to be surveyed have .been, pre
pared. add the course of the plane
is charted on the photographic
map.
Surveys conducted by plane are
much more accurate than- those
conducted on the ground. Dr. Pir
son said, since the magnetic de
tector is not affected 'by metallic
objects on the earth’s surface. The
planes also make it possible to
complete the work in much less
time.
