PAGE TWO Wait and See -It sometimes proves quite amusing to sit back and watch how the student body accepts a cam pus; project that has been designed to make things easier for them. I'm referring to the free movies that are scheduled for tonight and tomorrow night in Schwab auditorium. This innovation was thought up by members of the X-GI Club on campus, a social organiza tion that has more than once in the past, paved the way for better conditions at Penn State. The club has three motives behind their ven ture, which, incidentally, costs them money. The first is an endeavor to combat the high prices charged by the local theatres. As an example we ouote the 44 cents charged at the movie houses in Lewisburg, home of Buckncll. The second purpose is to see if something can’t be 'done about the old films, call them relics it you like, that have been constantly appearing on the local screens. An opportunity to present free entertainment to the entire student body is the last of the three fold purpose that prompted the club to lake ac tion on the movie situation. In a way, these free movies represent the same type of entertainment that would be provided if we had a Student Union building on the campus. The present set-up is a far cry from the facili ties which would be contained in a Union build ing costing over $2,000,000, but the response to an entertainment project such as this will serve as sn excellent criterion as tb just how badly this campus wants-to bo entertained. The X-GI Club has done its part, the student body must take it from there. Chance to Help The Thetas are holding a charity bazaar to morrow afternoon from two to five at the sorority house. Proceeds of the affair will got to the Insti tute of Logopedics, adopted by the Thetas as their national charity. . The Institute is located just off the campus of Wichita University, and it is presently recognized . • as the outstanding school of its'kiiid'in the Ration. ■ It is. one'of the few centers that deals with every type of speech defect. They accept the difficult as well as the easy-to-cure cases, and- in general offer new'opportunities foy'ttormal life to a large group of handicapped persons. Volunteer work on veterans of World War I and II who have cofne out of battle with' speech de fects is .now being done at veterans’ hospitals by members of tlier Institute staff. The affair deserves the support of the student body as well as members of the faculty. A wide I sale. It is estimated tha sold, among them are socks, mittens, baby clothes, and hand-painted stationery. This might prove to be an excellent opportuni ty to cut down that Christmas gift list. There are only 15 shopping days left, you know. Collegian Gazette • All calendar items must be in at the Daily Collegian office by 4:30 p.m. on the d'ay preceding publication.

Foster THE DAILY COLLEGIAN;'STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Artists' Course Next Monday evening, one of the greatest sing ers of our times, Paul Robeson, will raise his rich, resonant voice in the first concert of the Artists’" Course Series. To those people .lucky enough to hold a- ticket for the concert, Monday evening will be one of the' most pleasant experiences of. the semester. However, to the rest of the students who were unable lb obtain tickets to hear Robe son, Monday will be another disappointing day. The difficulties just mentioned reminds us once more of the inadequacy of the present arrange ments of distributing tickets for -the Artists’ Course Series. Earlier this semester, we pointed out some of the injustices, done to the scudent body by the present rationing of tickets.- Our solution at that time, however, was negative, in that we proposed to remedy the situation somewhat by giving more seats to the student body arid less to the towns people. Now, after discussing the problems with others, we should like to make a more constructive sug gestion which could alleviate the situation by next year. We propose that instead of having only one series of four concerts each year, that, we have two series of guest artisls. Each set of concerts would be equally weighted and you would have your choice of one of the two series. Under such a set-up, the number of series tickets available would be doubled, and instead of 1500 people being able to enjoy. the great artists of today, 3000 would have the opportunity. . This plan is offered as a suggestion now. There is no reason why such a plan could not' be put into effect next year. However, unless student opinion evidences considerable support of this suggestion, it would not be feasible to undertake the extra work and risk involved in expanding the cultural season in State College..

Appar di±ov x-.oheerned neither spent the past summer on me PoranUVDEmmarrcnbTir-iiur m nic European history stacks. And that last remark should demonstrate the facility with which extra • neousness propagates itself. William L. Brown, Jr. • Former Froih editor Brown is quite canny in guessing that the editor was neither on the Poland-Denmark tour nor in the European his tory stacks; he spent the summer in Oklahoma reading Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire." The Last Word TO THE EDITOR: Is it that Collegian must have the last word on all discussions originating on its pages, or is it possible that they really believe their three lines of rebuttal is an adequate answer to the letter by Mr. Davis which asks for more understanding and less hasty judgments? We’ve been asked to look for harmony rather than discord in the area of foreign relations by both world-renowned speakers who have come to Penn State. Collegian has printed resumes of speeches made by Robert St. John and Henry A. Wallace yet it certainly did not . pass up the first oppor tunity to sabotage their position. First it printed the article “Russia Dominates Poland; Freedom Rules Denmark,” and then it tacked on to a letter giving a mature reflection of the background of the possible causes, an. adolescent evasion'of the points in question. One of the cardinal., rules of any science of society is the understanding that every situation has a history—more than that which goes into the textbooks. We cannot hope to evaluate any thing by merely a superficial examination of rela tionships, as. was done in the first article. We must dig deep to find the total picture.. without which any portion is false. Let’s, apply what, is' learned in the classrooms and dispense with drawing con clusions which in the last analysis prove- to be faulty. Add this pica for'the use of the education we’re getting here at Penn State to those made by St. John, Wallace and other far-seeing per-. sons, and perhaps a potentially peaceful world can be in the making. Natalie Biederman Why Then...? TO THE EDITOR AND THE STUDENT BODY: Most of you will agree that racial tolerance, hav ing been a national problem for some time, is accepted by all intelligent and liberal-minded adults. Why, then, are sordid examples of this unjust prejudice evidenced in a college town where is supposed to exist an institution of liberal arid unbiased learning? Do you think that excluding students from bar ber shops, certain - hotels and eating establish ments because of their color is a good example of proper environment for the development of broad minded citizens? A student body which backed so strongly the reply of the officials to the University of Miami is certainly contradicting itself in this issue.
