.Authorisation of a new armory before other im
portant buildings has accused storms of protest
among som e practical students. ; Bu’t perhaps the
reasons behind this decision are not fully known.
Auecrding to he r charter as a land grant coll
ege Penn State m-us'l give instructions in military
science and tactics. An aiimory constructed for
the need's ot an enrollment of ohly 150(1 students,
will be out-grown when the ROTC unit Itself is
twice that large. This will be tru e in a few years
when the lower classmen will be mostly nrin-vet
erah'3. Nor can we hope to “borrow” spate in oth
er buildings, which are so overcrowded .themsel
ves. ! ■
■Future generations cf underclassmen will reap
the benefits from today’s plait's. Instead of bCdrig
forced to tak e a branch of training he dislikes,
the new frobh will have a choice betewegri navy,
infantry, engineers, signal corps, and ,air corps
training. Without a new arm'Cry, it is difficult, to
imagine any semblance of efficient military train
ing.
;A new anmoiy would pave the way for the ev
entual removal of the present Structure. Traditi’oh
lovers may .pto'test, but it certainly does not Kaf
mcnize with the newer buildings on camptis, and
will become even mere out of place as it becomes
surrounded with newer buildings.
. Finally, there is no reason to suppose that this
armory will displace any of the projects wo Wave
been hoping for. College officials like Mr - . George
W. Ebert superintendent of Grounds and Bund,
inga, could report, if permitted', that plans have
been, and are being made for other construction,
A campus building program cannot take place
.over night, but requires mlany months of intense
study, hard work, anid exacting study.

Traffic Light ?
How long has it been taking you to cross co-op

controlling their speed or having them stop at re

in proportion to this, the greatest enrol.ment,
there are also the greatest number of automobiles

“Yet when we had achieved, and tire new world
dawned, the old men came out again, and- took
if.rcm us our victory and remad e it in the likeness
of the former world they knew."
'Such words as these were spoken by T. E. Law
reixc after the erid of World War I. Today, over
a quarter of a century later, that line seems mote
•potent, more true than ever. Veterans of this
past war are now beginning to sadly understand
exactly what T. E. Lawrence meant.
The “old nien” are new sitting at the peace
tables. Ther e ar « ntme of ,us—none Of the young
men there beside them. We. vfery good : enough,
strong enough, wise enough to fight the War—but
alas, to mhke the peace,'to reshape a new, world,
we are but -youth and as Lawrence also
iably weak against age.” - The' United.*Nations
meet add aicuhd the table--sits’pot, a representa
tive of the men that f-ought this.'war.
We do riot chum that the aid of youth would
guarantee tli e making of permanent peace.. We
know that we are lium'ah arid. War-only' pi'oVes
how fallible huirrJari .beingsare. We db think
though that no mlatter what. c.6untry.,of the world
they are fron>—the masses'hf men who during (he
wlar suffered separation froth their -families,- de
privation, and physical.injuries would feel that
there ar e more important things in life than
fighting over oil interests -and air rights, etc.
To oitr children yet. unborn (if they ever will
be), we now address thes e words: “Blame -not us,
for when we had achieved, arid the new world
dawned, the old men came out -again; and took
from us our vi'efery and remad e it in the likeness
of the former world they knew.” Lewis L. Ja’ffe
Letters
X-Gf Club Protests
TO THE EOITOiR: With reference to the letters
th'at 'have appeared in the Letters column of the
£lad!y Colegilan, the Executive Board' of th e X
pl oil lb points 'out the following fea&ons iof the
lack cf good theater entertainment in State Coll
ege.
First, however, the X-GI Club wishes to ad'd its
protest to those already printed in Collegian and
Froth. The Gluto dan see hb reason, why the local
theaters dannct show current; “A”-type 'movies.
We also resent, as do 'the students as a whole, the
insult to our appreciation off good 'acting and good
'production,
in a purely mercemary sense, the Club can un
derstand the reasons of the lodal theater managers
for daring to show such poor entertainment. Af
ter al'l, why should they spend money to secure
Grade A movies (when such movies are first cir
culated) iif they Can save rental 'fees and show
second rate (Jungle Princess) or obsolete (I Want
ed Wings and The Fiainsirian) .pictures and still
play to a full house each, and every Friday and
Saturday nights?
In this manner the money extracted front an
entertainment starved student body nets, more
profit. If the. students will pay fifty-five cents to
see an cut of date movie, why not show it? ,
Another reason is the lack of competition. The
three local theaters have a complete fnonoply on
movies. With n o competition they are allowed to
show obsolete films and in that way can operate
their theaters at a bare minimum of cost. Why
spend money fo r current movies when they can
wait six iweekis to five years before showing it
with no fear of competition? They dan cut expen
ses to- negligible proportions. Consider th 6 profit
they make. And what do they. . care about the
students? We hav e no other place to. go. We have
to patronize their theaters or sit. home over the
weekends.- This is what is known, as cut throat
business.
The X-G-I Club hereby pledges itself to spare no
effort to alleviate this condition. The Clulb hopes
th e college administration- will carefully investi
gate this situation and offer concrete suggestions
and decisive faction to relieve the present state, of
affairs. _

Periri State vs. Nevada?
TO TiH'E EDITOR: Now that Pehn State and the
University of Nevada have both decided to stay
north off the Mason-'Dixon line, I. have, another
brain storm with which to plague you. If it is at
•all possible I should veiiy niuich like to se e the
two aforementioned teams play each other at the
conclusion of their respective schedules.
Since -both Nevada and State were already
planning long trips and'- students at the respec
tive schools wer e contemplating the same, why
net have the two school's play at a mid-point, say
Chicago. I think an interseotiomal -game off. this
sort, with proceeds to go to Negro charity, would
pack even .Soldier’s Field.
'Not only would it be a fine gesture by Nevada
and State, not only would .it he a rebuke to the
race-prejudiced southern schools, 'but it would' toe
fo r three good causes: Penn State’s, Nevada’s,
and certainly not least, that of the Negro. Iff you
want backing and publicity you would certainly
have it, and I’m certain there are • many large
stadiums which would be cnl-y too glad to stage
this contest.
'We can’t get Negroes haircuts in this town so
let's go ou'ti to Chicago and do something for them.
Whlat say, Dean Schott; Coach Higgins,. President
[Hetzel, Jet’s isee; you cut son% red tape for la
change. State College to State sti'dSt’;-Mfs go!
