’AGE TWO letters-From the Editor's Mailbox /Human Dignity TO THE EDITOR: Cabinet's problem of how to spend fiOOOO interests me. As I am not an under graduate student I realize that I cannot legiti mately suggest a means of spending $9OOO of the students’ money. However, as just another human being perhaps I could offer my personal opinion as'to how the money might be spent. . . The sum of $9OOO should be sufficient to ini tiate the establishment of a student-owned barber shop. This, of course, would enable negro students ■to get a hair cut in State College. In my opinion, obtaining just one more degree of freedom for a number of fellow human beings for $9OOO is good business. Human dignity is precious stuff. Will the Board of Trustees have to approve the project as well as Student Union? 11.5. C. Votes 'No' ' TO THE EDITOR: Tuesday night. April 15, at a special meeting of the 1.5. C., the question of Pollock Circle Council’s entry into the I.S.C. was taken up from the table, discussed thoroughly for a second time and voted upon. The motion that was voted upon was to the offect that Pollock Circle be admitted into the I.S.C. This motion was defeated by a close vote of U to 7. The negative vote was extremely disappoint ing to the Pollock Circle representative, “Ed” Koval, and his associate, “Bill” Proctor. It was, no doubt, disappointing to the entire “Circle” council. The most disappointed group, however, was the very same one that voted, the I.S.C. Pollock Circle represents a successful attempt by the administration of our College to allevaite a housing problem and thus give more men a chance to pursue their scholastic career. Physi cally, Pollock Circle is a collection of college stu dent housing units Sine they are students, the men living in those units have just as much right and should receive just as much encouragement as any other student living anywhere else to participate in Collegian Gazette All calendar items must be in fee Daily Collegian office by 4:30 p.m. on the day pre ceding publication.

Kerr '45 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA campus activities. The privilege and responsibility of member ship in a good organization may be claimed with equal right by any student whether ho lives in Pollock Circle or commutes from Bellefonte. Why then was Pollock Circle not admitted into the 1.5. C.? Two reasons were given: (1) A lack of individual participation in in dependent activities by Pollock Circle men was pointed to by the Penrr State Club and I.M.A. representatives. Such lack of interest tends to show antipathy rather than interest as the' prevailing opinion among the individual men. (2) There is no provision in the I.S.C. con stitution to allow participation of-the Circle’s fra ternity men who are represented by I.F.C. The individual will to be active leads to that individual participation which makes. good or ganization. The lack of such" participation proved to be the chief obstacle for the representatives of Pollock Circle. The Penn State Club and I.M.A. representa tives were not sure that Pollock Circle- Council was being truly representative of the popular opin ion prevailing in the “Circle.”, . As to the meaning of individual-participation, suppose those housing units I spqke of, instead, of being placed in one locality, - had been' built in scattered lots throughout the town. They weren’t, for obvious reasons. For the sake of clarification, however, let us imagine that they were. The fundamental problem of student partici pation in campus organizations remains the same. Obviously, what would happen is that all those interested in extra-curricular activities would do so individually. This is the ideal case. An I.S.C. composed of weak organizations could not be strong. The best way to’ strengthen I.S.C. and thus independent organizations is to strengthen the member organization. Pollock Circle can certainly do that. The second reason for the negative vote given above has a relatively small importance although it is true that the I.S.C. constitution does riot pro vide for the participation of the fraternity men which would enter through Pollock Circle. The I.S.C. is aware of the large Independent majority living in the Circle. It is aware of the many problems that arise, particularly the social ones. We can help you. We want to.' help you. If you work-with us, we will, help you. Frank ’Tidona. President I.S.C. No Political Football TO THE EDITOR: In answer to the editorial by Mr. Foster Thursday referring to the ..modern design of the Engineering Student Council elec tion, the council is not the political . football of all-college elections because there is ’,rio money involved and without that incentive it is hard to get a very representative grpup to anomination meeting. Therefore, Jo provide equal opportunity to, all persons slightly interested we > hiade nominations as simple as possible. , True, anyone' can do the nominating, but the: nominee must be an engineer in certain semesters and must have a one average. Nominations will be accepted until the elec tion on Tuesday, although the names will not be on the ballot. Space will be provided for write-ins on each ballot. Those not interested in the nomination may turn it down at any time until the close of the election. We felt we would get all men interested and only those interested in being on the council up for election. Unlike the Liberal Arts student council the voting will be covered bv lists of the individual school members and identification will be required. We feel this is as just and fair means of demo cratic election as possible .under the circumstances. H. H. Robb, President Engineering School Council Edit Shorts m A nroblem that is a serious one here at State has been solved, to a great extent, by the Univer sity of Illinois. We quote directly from “Mini Union,” a booklet describing the many services rendered by the school’s student union building: “For the purpose of giving the faculty and students of the University a common .meeting place to become socially acciuainted outside the class room, the Illini Union holds weekly Coffee Hours in the Pine Lounge. “The committee provides an informal atmos phere of welcome against a background of con versational music. Refreshments are served. Stu dents and faculty members may drop in from classes and introduce themselves to anyone they wish to meet. “Each week two campus groups (fraternity or sorority, independent group of honorary organiza tion) act as hosts and hostesses, issuing special in vitations to their faculty friends.*Music programs are featured and outstanding guests on campus are invited to the Coffee Hour to meet students in formally.” Sounds almost too good—and probably is col ored just a bit—but where could such a meeting be held on our campus? • If this Spring is as rainy as some State College has been known to experience, we’ll be more than ever envious of the University of Minnesota with its one and a half million dollar Memorial Union. The air-conditioned ballroom of the student ac tivity' center is so constructed, with permanent screen and projector, that- “just like downtown” movies can be shown. Sunday programs—with fea ture length pictures—cost 14 cents. Weekends get off tom good gtai-t at .the. Union.
