PAGE TWO Don't Let 'George' Do It _ - Two notable attempts were made last semester to striTply the student body with free week-end enter tainmcnt. Tine Senior Class sponsuircd a Sunday aft irncon "SheerEkin Serenade," a vaudeville sihow with local talent. A packed house attended and from the applause and comments after the sthow, it was enjoyed by all. Jim Sheehan, Senior Class president, then made a curtain speech in which he stated that he hoped other organizations would take up the idea and plan future; shows of this kind for Sunday after ndons. The X-GI Club sponsored three week-ends of movies in Sit.fhwaib auditorium, free to all students wthethcr mcmhers of the club or not. The cost Was Letters Established Fact TO THIS EDITOR.: Throughout our 'many years of' schooling experience, we have constantly been Vaught by hygiene teadhers, psychology professors, 3n ; d. tmany 'others that the road to good digestion was through a pleasant atmosphere during meal thne. • . However, this established fact has been quite strongly disputed recently by 117,9 management of the Atherton Hall dining commons. it is quite difficult to eat a meal and maintain a picasnat,.contenltcd4mood when you are commanded to sit w:thoun your Brienct, at a particular table by a defensive. in patient, head-waiter. This is ithe situation at Atherton, caused by the new seating etrtangement as enforced by the Man agement. This areangoment provides for the seating of the girls with abLsclutely no regard far the girls' desires to sin with their friends (be they one or five). We understand that the practice of seating the girls one by one rathe r than in groups was started to save time for the waiters and others who clear the tables. We certainly appreciate the fact that they are anxious to get cut as early as possible. . However, when rules are passed fo r the com fort of a few people at the expense of health and mental ease lof over five hundred girls, the con sideration seems a little overdone. .1 ) n view of the fact that we are paying for our board at Atheriton Hal. we expect at least a mini amount of consideration.

This project could be carried on each week-end that the auditorium is not being used by Players 0,. Thespians shows. It is unfair to expect the ).-G.I Club to s upport the endeavor alone when no admission is collected and the entertainment is all-college. Ailircady one organization, Interfraternity Coun cil, has velunteerecl to foot the bill for one week's nnwies if other groups siunh as Pan-hel, Hat So cieties WRA, All-College Cabinet, IMA, IWA, etc.. could plck up the check for a week's entertainment . . so many years to the satisfaction of both waiters and (linens, we, request a return to the former seat ing, arrangement. • The r eason for our using this method of expres sion is that any verbal declaration made by coeds (for whom the dining commons is being run, we believe) have gone completely unheeded by officials. o Space prohibits the printing of the namea signed to ;this letter—Ther e were 104 of them, however; all coeds from Atherton Hall. According to the Papers TO THE EDITOR: According to the latest new's papers, Mr. Loomis, of the no doubt esteemed Co lombians, has said that tale Negroes in this country could be deported to Africa at the rate of 200,00.0 ea 6). year. They would be taken, he says, as they reach the age of 21, and the land for the project would be purchased fioni England. It 'seems to me Qat if they wer e taken at an earlier age they Mlght take up less space on ship board, and the number could be increased to no,- COO. Besides, if we wait until. they are twenty-one, they might make, all sorts of legal difficulty. Then, if we begirt right away, we Eihould be able to deport all the Negroesin .about 50 or GO years. We 'could then start sending the Italians back to Italy, the Genmia:ns back to Germany, the English back to 'England, the Chinese back to China, the Jews back to Drehwion, etc. Allowing for births,• deaths, increases in transportatibn 'facilities, and using the integral calculus, we figure that in about eight hundred • year s we could sign the 'final treaty giving this country back to the Indians. Of course, if we wanted to be really ilai r about it, we could permit the Emergency • Deportation Owymittee to remain behind long enough to send alit the Indians back to Siberia, and just turn .the place back to the gather and coyote. William Bond Gould In Defense of Mr. Foster TO T 1 EDITOR: For :the past week, Mr. Foster ha; been unlilairly criticized for his article "Or They'll Do It Every Time." I don't know Lawrence Fester very [well so that this defense stems entirely from a sense of justice. In direcit contrast to some of the opinions given by his critics, I think the article was news and definitely very timely. In answer to the remark that the marriage of Miss Sheila Adams was the private affair of the concerned only, I say this: A person lik e Dr. Adams become s . known, ac quires fame if yeti will, through services to the prallilec particularly in this case, because of service to the student body. He has made this servic e his life's work with a high degree cif success. As a result and like all the other succesful public men, his private life becomes the properly of his public. Such has al- . ways been and always will be the "plaice of glory." Mr. Foster's article Was particularly valuable be cause. it Made one realize how imvortant it is to study one's 'own inzlividnality. I also think it did Dr. Adams much more good than harm because the story contained therein eruPhasized one of his points. • One cannot read his book ;or attend hi s lectures and without further thought triumph over, all obstacles. In conclusion, Mir. Foster's repOrt, tauigfht me a lesson in individualism, because after I read Dr. Minns' bock or attend his ledtittres, I'm still going to do some original fthinking. In aiddldon, the article was timely because our country at present is full of peciple who failed to do tinzit original thinking. They are present in some thing like a three-to Jone ratio. PLEASE PAINT AVC Conducts Investigation The Ame rica n Veterans Cc,tn mittee ha:; been conducting an investigatton ef racial Ois-crimi nation in State College. At .he last meeting of Cchinet. Martin Light reported on the re sults of AVC's investigation. He said that AVC plans to begin a campaign against racial discrim ination in the town barber shops. where negro students cannot at present get haircuts. ..The AVC bedan its plan by sounding out the proprietors of all six 'of th e town's barber shops. One barber seems to have ex pressed the general opinion among his colleagues when he said that he would not mind cutting a ne gro's hair, but that his customers would. Ben French To an AVC suggestion that.the group secure a signed resolution saying that the barber would not lc=,, castomcrs if he cut ne.gmes' hair, the barber replied that it "wouldn't mean a thing." However, AVC has already drawn up a resolution, to he signed with remarks by all camp us organizations, to th e general effect that they will toope.i to with AVC and that the town barbers 'will not lose business if they cut negroes' hair. The AVC spokesman said that, in order to Completely eliminate discrimination, other students on campus should be willing either to go without haircuts at all until the situation has been remedied, OT to go to other town; far their haircuts, as the *negro students , ar,,, forced to do. One cabinet member suggested that, rather than conduct a boy el:At, student barbers be recruited o cut th,, negroes' hair, but since AVC hopes to completely elimi nate racial. discrimination, this Would merely. sidestep the issue. •A second cabinet member 'raised • question of. the legality of the barbers' •refusal to cut negroes' hair. He said' that it has been proven a, state offiense for restaurants to refuse to serve negroes because public services (which include restaurants) are required to serve all who are able to pay for the service and who do not make a nuisance of themselves: •It was his opinion that a barber shop, too, Is a public service, and hence would be violating the law in refusing to cut any person's hair.
