THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA tor's Mailbox “Circle” representing the majority. Oh, well, we did have fun, even if among ourselves. The next day, Sunday, was to herald another big event, the Grange mixer. Surely that event would be well represented by all parties involved. Shaking out the moth balls and dust, we donned our Sunday best and again descended from the ninterland, en masse. And again what had happened? Had some one forewarned the fair coeds in Grange that xhe Horde from fhe East was actually coming and sent them ilying in terror or did they lock and bolt themselves in their rooms and hope tor reinforcements from Alh Hall? The Mixer had all the makings of a fine Stag . arty, even if no one did spike the punch! Girls . . . sure there were girls, 10 or 15; anyway. They did a splendid job as hostesses, dven If out-num bered 4 to 1. , Well, what now? We are denied admission to the ISC because of lack of participation in campus events and organizations. Whose opinion is that? We are trying to bridge the gap between Pollock Circle and the other 5000. We are willing to go half way, but we can do so only with the cooperation of the whole student body. We certainly don’t want to be considered as out casts because of something we are powerless to do anything about. What do you say, students, let’s all get together the next time and lend our whole hearted support. Yes, We Havel TO THE EDITOR: Did you ever try to cut a shoe sole steak with a spopn? For several months now, the men of Pollock Circle have been butterihg their bread, cutting their meat, stirring their coffee, shoveling the stuff (food) down, and eating our des sert with a spoon. Surely the spoon was not designed for all these tasks. If one is among the first few hun dred, perhaps he will plso snag a fork. The management has requested that the Pollock Circle residents return any knives they may have in their rooms, implying that the shortage is due to. petty thievery. It seems that the affinity is for knives only, however. We're big boys now .and know how to eat with a knife. Why isn’t some of the Dining Commons profit used to purchase these needed utensils? Very truly yours, -—John S. Andersop.' Bruce WennersJrom. • As a possible helpful dp, ihe editor, a Pol lock Circle man himself, suggests that you try using a soup spoon for cutting steaks. He finds that they have a. finer edge than teaspoons which tend to bend. N-I's Compliment Banyai TO THEE EDITOR: I read with a great deal of In terest, and I must confess' a little amusement, the two editorials in Thursday’s Collegian. ‘ Interest, in the remarkable achievements of Mr. Banyai (achievements • which many members of AVC claim he played a negligible part.) I think we the student body should feel complimented that he hag .taken'the time to dabble in our humble student affairs such as Student Union and Blue Band Uniforms which I always thought the function of student leaders. Or will he take the time to worry about them? Maybe All-College. Cabinet will devote its energies to sending resolutions to Washington stating what they think about specific national issues. True, national issues are very important, and any group ot students who wish to meet to discuss them and bring in outside authorities is supplying a definite need on campus, BUT. not All-College Cabinet. There the attention should be focused on stu dent problems as they apply to Penn State. On that score, the Nittany-Independent can feel justly proud. They have always devotee! themselves to campus issues and will continue to do so. Mr. Ostax mentioned a' point that has always been striven for by high-minded campus leaders, and that is the doing away with power politics. Nittany-Independent thought they had achieved that with the formation of their patty and were working towards that end. However, when a feiw self-appointed spokesmen for Pollock Circle, like Mitchell, Proctor arid Koval, confidently speak of their 800 votes they command in the circle, I stop and wonder. What can' they expect fraternities and other independent men and women to do? Naturally, if this is true, they feel they should band together so they are not swamped in elections and buried under in the' forming of clique policy. This has not happened yet, and I earnestly hope it does not happen. I can't believe that 800 thinking men would turn their right of selec tion over to a few men no matter how "clair voyant." In closing, I would like to reiterate Mr. Ostar’s final statement, “Examine the platforms and pre vious records of the candidates." Yes, examine the records, and after you do, you might ask how Mr. Lanneri, who was tired from a "Keep Off the Grass" committee by Vaughan Stapleton, can hope_lo accomplish the all inclusive job o! All-College President. Tougher problems 'might arise than keeping students from walking on the grass. —Robert E. Hirsh, Chairman. Platform Committee, Nittany-Independent Party. /We Too! TO THE EDITOR: Please put in print the fact that I resigned from Critique also. - Yours from suite T. Frank Phißppbar. Sincerely, —Charlie Delp. Boston Baked Beans and Tips The most laudable step back towards the rhetorically famous ‘‘American way of life” in recent days was the decision of the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway to prohibit tipping for any service performed on its trains. This medieval-inherited sys tem called tipping has enabled a swarm of parasites on honest labor to grow up in this theo retically democratic country. Its advocates openly acknowledge that only his use of money de termines a man's status in so ciety. Defenders of the tipping system 'Can I Help?' Recent Student Council elec tions have been marred by ac cusations of fraud and charges of inefficiency. In opening the nomi nations for the 1947-48 Chemistry- Physics Student Council, the present members hope to avoid similar pitfalls. The election itself will be su pervised by the All-College Elections Committee, with sim ple precautions to prevent ballot-box stuffing, and tton- School voting. At the risk of losing some hlgh caliber candidates, the council adopted a policy of voluntary self nomination only, with each pro spective candidate required to submit his name in person. Only seriously interested students Will vie for seats.

Nobody would go through that twice if avoidable, In the mean time at least a thousand ex-G-I budgets are askew trying to dis cover a sourc e of ten dollars right at the time of month when that 65 has stretched very thin. President Fraser, 1866, was the first to introduce the idea of ex panding the College to include courses in engineering, mining, and liberal arts. Editorials and features in The Collegian reflect the opinions of the writer. They make no claim to represent student or University opinion. All un signed editorials are by the edi tor. are only admitting that the man who earns an honest day’s wages is a sucker. They see nothing wrong with licking the boots of one man while spilling soup on another. They pay lip service to the business propaganda line that good service can not be afforded to all patrons by employees work ing on a straight, adequate salary. All of which must appear hor ribly uncouth to the sensitive Emily Post who puts Boston baked beans and. the 15 percent tipping rule in the same category as a "good, old American custom.’’ By Frank D.

Its purpose is io inform the dean of student opinion on matters pf curricu lum, course, text and methods of teaching, and to make recommendations for improve ments. Thefe is no place for politics in a Student Council election. There is ho compensation, po glory or renown, and no reward, except the satisfaction of helping one’s fellow students, and working for that “Better Penn State.” Because the candidates are to nominate themselves, it is the re sponsibility of each qualified stu dent -to add his name to the list.
