11:kt•IE TVA) Where Did You Throw it? . . We read no further than the first line of Mr. )I.irsh's letter to the editor yesterday before we \N: ere inspired to sit down and take advantage of Ibis wonderful opportunity to be part of the cam pus political scene. We refer to the sentence—"ln line with our pol icy Of truly representing all the people on campus ) would like to extend 'an open invitation to any ,ne who has ideas or suggestions for the platform the Nittany-Independent party." By an odd .coincidence we also ran across an , 311,d copy.. of, the Collegian (dated. October.ls. 1946) which carried the Nittany-Independent platform during' the last election. We were- reinspirect by another statement in that With The Editor SO many inquiries have ,come our way concern,- ing •the latest addition to the, publication field -Who's,Who In The. News"—that it would not. be, amiss to • publicly answer- these queStio,ns. • The first question. usually. .asked , is, "ItV.hg... •kind of racket•is•this 'Who's•Whii.•bypirulas —and if it isn't .a racket why isn•'t it bein4.,l4, iicized more?" This is a simple queithon to, answer, for the ;,ponsoring groups received early encouragement nud guidance from Dean Warrxock who must also receive most of the credit for thinking of the idea. )7200t0r Banner, head of the journalism department, lm,is been serving as a technical advisor on matters concerning engraving, printing costs and other re ),..4.ted problems. The sponsoring groups have also applied to the ollege Committee on. Student Welfare for a char er to give it, official approval; this request is now in' the hands of the Committee. As to the lack of high-pressure publicizing,- .Dne of the first decisions made by WhO's Who in.the News was to, keep publicity , down to a, minimum, in order to remove any possible stigma of commercialism. In the few. announcements made to date, this point has been stressed. The book is not to be a `money-maker." Which brings up the next ques tion—"lsn't $2.50 a great deal to pay?" The answer is a contradictory "yes and no." Yes, 1;2.50 is a lot of money in these inflationary days. No, it's not very much when you apply it to a printing bill. The book will carry no advertisements (again ..Iteering away from commercialism) and our read ers will get a' rough idea of printing, costs nowa-: days when it is pointed out that the Collegian costs us . $lOB, for printing, alone, each and every issue.. • If the College had its own print .shop,,•this 52.50. charge would be,, greatly reduced; since we haven't our own print shop and t wo*: ably ,won't for several years it would be .wish :qui thinking to haggle further over this matter.

The party might, therefore, attempt to carry out some of last year's platform (where possible) be fore drawing up some new document to dangle before student voters. (Ed. Note: This is the , first in a series of articles to be run from.time , to time.during the next few weeks.) planning to, put it ,out -yearly, why do, they want to go. to all this ,trouble.??' , . This is, of course,. a touchy questionat -least. as fapas, the, Who's Who, editor ; IVlr. Sinichek, is con cerned. Frankly. we. suspect that he'd just as soon hq,ve spent his . time during, the. mast few, months loafing instead of working,, on the, preparation of the book. But it was pointed , out to, him- that.it would s he a great.service to Peini.,Statearid.it will be,--so he entered into the project enthusiastically. Of what service will it ,be to Penn State? There are many points that one could cite, a few of which include,: (1) ,Recognition to a - large number of outstand ing students at the College, since. we, no longer participate in. the "Who's Who in American Col leges and Universities" which recognized' a very small number of Penn Staters. (2) State-wide recognition for Penn Staters since copies are to be sent to every College and Univer sity in the Commonwealth and to all the leading papers. (3) Copies are also' to - be distributed . free to all fraternities, sororities and large independent units (which would find them useful for rushing pur poses and for their chapter histories); to all de partmental. and School heads and to various ad ministration officials. (4) And probably the most idealistic-sounding but quite commendable is the reason offered that in this day of hurried, assembly-line education it would not hurt to stop long enough to recognize the outstanding studentS on campus—and ,anyofie who has seen the complete list of selectees tivil agree that it is about as fair, complete and repre sentative as any such list could humanly be.. Since the.book.is to . .be first.of a series of .annual publications. .it is. only. natural thaA many things will, be done in the,naiure.of ex perinient: also. Much may be left-undone, bp cauge of a lack of experience. or these, rea sons, Mr. Sinich,ak will apprecate_any. sugges lions or ideas for making" Who's Who more, successful. ing. The informality which surrounds other college Unions paves the way for a step to wards a better understanding between both groups. The modern Union building is equipped with numerous hobby work shops where faculty mem bers and students work side by side: This is but one phase of the "spare time" activities which pro vides an opportunity to strike up an acquaintance based on common interests. A Student Union on this campus would not re strict good relations to faculty and student groups, but what is more important, would develop a closer relationship among the undergraduates of the Col lege. The opportunity to get to know fellow stu dents has been hampered by the sudden growth of this institution, and only a coMmon meeting place like a Student Union will help alleviate an often overlooked drawback of campus life at Penn State. Leffer,s Fk and .Grippe TO THE EDITOR: This letter is written with the hope that it will help the other students on this campus and not allow them to be caught in the undercurrent of the recent flu and grippe epidemic. Something has to be. done - "now" before everyone on this fair campus is flat on his back. Our Easter vacation, slated to start the third of April, could be started immediately and made up. in June or just dropped and chalked to common sense. If we continue going to school every day all of the students are likely to be bed patients within the next •few days. No doubt the school executives think an early vacation would hinder the progress of , education. Let me remind them that the dispensary has thirty to thirty-five people iii it _every hour of the day and this number "will" grow unless drastic steps are taken immediately. These people are missing classes and subjecting other students to the germ every second. I appeal to you as the intelligent students that you are—"Do something now, don't wait until it gets you." The infirmary is full and we are sent back to our dorms or fraternity houses to subject other people to what we have. —"One who has had it and Atill doe." *_Dr. Herbert Glenn, head of the Health Service, reports that while there is a mild epi demic, that it is composed •of very mild virus infections but that there is no tendency toward serious complications.
