PAGE TWO 'What We Need ... The A-qi'v dimming and energetic Mary Lou Waygood. WSC.A [president and representative on All-College Cabinet, rose to her feet at a recent cabinet meeting, took a dcop breath, and in so many words said, “What .this College needs is a good suggestion Ibox." This profound statement lead i.ts desired effects. Prom those cynics <l£ there be such 'among Col lege students) present, came the usual sneer. A .row people, unfamiliar with the workings of the minds of students, applauded the suggestion. President Eoote beamed—and a committee was immediately appointed to investigate the matter. At the 'following meeting of Cabinet, a com mittee report was submitted, and Cabinet unani mously agreed to put up a suggestion box some where in the lobby o! Old .Main where students can.place their gripes,suggestions, ideas—all for “A Better Penn State." 'The -purpose of this edit is not to ridicule Miss "Wayigoocl or Cabinet —they are most sincere in wanting to d'o things lor the College and the student .body. • What is most appalling is the fact that the sug gestion box, all shiny and new, will be placed in Old' Malm very soon. .. .and 'before long it will be at I covered with dust and unused. This statement stems not from a pessimistic or .sour outlook on student interest, but Cabinet should not be held responsible if this idea fails as others have this semester. - To help promote student 'welfare, class meet ings were scheduled’; the turnout was nil. Col legian cooperated with All-College cabinet in sponsoring pep rallies—the turnout was (fair. Energetic' groups like the Common Sense, club and'-the AViC have brought speakers to the Cam pus and the student body stayed away in droves —even when such important matters as OPA rent ceilings were explained The Liberal Arts Post-war planning committee tackled the mighty'problem of the revision of the lower division of the L'A School and more fac ulty members than students turned up at this student-sponsored 'affair. In’view of the failure of so many student pro jects, we think it only fair to offer our condo lences to Miss Waygood and her committee in advance. It won't be their fault af the suggestion box fails to .produce. Blaine it on the apathy of the student body. Collegian Gazette .

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Letters Miami Game Sidelight (The following is a copy of a letter sent to President Bowman Ashe of the University of Miami by two members of that school's faculty. A copy was also sent to The Collegian.) Dear President Ashe: On two recent occasions the administration of the University oC.Mir.rrji has ad'cipted policies which appear to us contrary to demccrat'.c fun damentals and to academic freedom. This letter is cur protest as faculty members .to these ac tions. It is also, since we are making it public, our safeguard ‘against any popular assumpiioui that because we are memlbers of the. University community we approve these policies. On November 5, U 946, the newspapers of Miami carried your letter to .the President. q[ Pennsyl vania State College, cancelling the Miami-Penn State football game scheduled .for November 20th. The reason you gave was that “unfortunate in cidents” might occur iif Negro students on the Penn State team ,were '.permitted to play in-the Orange Bowl. . . We -do not believe that the people of Miami, would have 'created “unforunale incidents.” But more than .this is at issue. It is well known that northern teams frequently include Negro plKy ers. If tbhe University of Miami will not play a game against a team with such players . why was a northern team scheduled? Or, since it was sche duled, why weren’t arrangements made early in the season to play the game in Pennsylvania or elsewhere? It seems to us that once having made an agreement to play, the University should! have stuck by its. agreement even if it meant playing the game on a -rented high school football held or at an oul-ol'-the-iway spot. For a university to cancel a game because of the racial origin of the participants, whatever the pressures, seems to us contrary to the American tradition of democracy in education and a perversion of the -spirit of sport. In protest against 'this action of the University administration we returned our football tickets „for the remaining games of the season to the Uni versity athelbic’ office —a feeble. gesture tout the only one that seemed 'practicable at the time. However, an incidental result of the cancel lation of the Penn State game-touches, us more directly. Mr. James-Hoffman, a part-time Eng lish instructor ’at the University, made an ar rangement with the editor of ’THE WEEK., a Miami magazine, for the publication of an article on various aspects of the • cancellation; When 'inform: (ition reached the Uhivlarsity thiait Mir.. Hoffman (then managing editor of THE WEEK) wa’s preparing this article he was advised, toy the publicity director of. the University to “play ball” and “when in Rome do as ithe Roman’s do.” . Mr. Hoffman refused 1 ; The editor of THE WEEK, after receiving telephone messages from your of fice, tire University publicity office and from a memiber of thp- Board of Trustees of ithe Univer sity, informed Mr. Hoffman thereupon resign prinit the, article. Mr. Hoffman thereupon resign ed both from the University faculty and 1 from, the staff of 'THE WEEK. ' However, Mr. Hoffman’s resignation from -THE WEEK is purely a matter between him and the- publishers Of THE WEEK, and this letter is in ho way to 'be construed' as a . commentary upon that. ' ' If academic' freedom has any significance whatever it must include the right of a of a university faculty to express his opinion freely in magazines; newspapers or elsewhere. Direct or implied pressure on a publication by a University administration official to cancel any article prepared by ia Ifaioulty mlember is as direct an attack on this freedom-as we can easily imagine. We are not. only ashamed that it Was done by the administration of the University of Miami; we are ashamed that it could happen in an 'American educational institution. Perhaps you believe we feel too strongly on this subject—that these .matters do not.warrant a'protest of Ihis kind. It does not seem so to' us. Our jobs oh the faculty of the University Of Miami are the first we have held since discharge from the aimed services. It is' at onlce discouraging and alarming to us to find that a university 'a'dimiri i9tration can follow such procedures so shortly after a conflict in which we all juggled for prac tical democracy. • Very truly yours, Winchester H.
