PAGE TWO With the Editor The Faithful 4000 Some 100 issues of the Collegian have been pub lished since the present editorial staff of the Col legian took over last Fall. On the average, nearly 4000 students have trampled daily through snow, slush, rain and in biting cold weather to the SU desk in Old Main. Regardless of what is said, good or bad, about our product, actions speak the loudest. The faith fulness of the student body in picking up its copies of the Collegian convinces us that students do care about the campus and campus activities. We have endeavored to give our readers, as a result, the best picture we can of campus life. But we can only reflect campus life—we can only tell our readers what others are doing. The paper, in a sense, can be no better than the student body. For this reason, we ask our readers to take but a few minutes, either today or tomorrow, to go over to the Armory and cast their votes for class officers. You have shown your interest in the cam pus by picking up the paper daily; pick up your feet and help us turn out a better paper by making tracks for the Armory where the Election Commit tee sits and waits for your ballot. We Laughed and Laughed We laughed and laughed when we heard that the “leading publication on campus” had been de nounced from the pulpit by one of the downtown ministerium this past Sunday. We were still able to laugh, though not so heart ily, after a personal chat with our denouncer, for he admitted that he had felt it his duty to warn his flock against certain communistic elements on campus, The Collegian came under that heading for print ing an editorial last week supporting a student (though not named, the inference is obvious since our only edit fitting the bill was the one pointing out that Mr. Banyai was a worthwhile candidate who’d at least done something) running for office. The candidate was supposed to be affiliated with a communistic element. We do not care to get into any arguments with the Church, but we feel that it is our duty to warn the student body of this campus—the Collegian Letters —From the Editors Mailbox 'We've Done TO THE EDITOR: During the past year, we the undersigned have worked on All-College Cabinet. We have done, to the best of our ability, the best job possible. Naturally, there are still things which remain unfinished, such as the promotion of student faculty relations, the erection of a Bulletin Board, and the All-College Flag. These items have been pushed to lhe best of our ability, but due to the slowness in the ad ministration, the results have not shown up yet. However, we feel it would be a definite blow to everyone if all this groundwork were cast aside and the Cabinet would go off in an entirely dif ferent direction. Therefore, in all sincerity, we would like to urge all you students, to renew, your faith in us and elect a Nittany-Independent ticket that will continue to work for a “better Penn State.’* Sincerely yours, —-Robert Foote, All-College President; Albert Green, All-College Secretary-Treasurer; Frits Lloyd, President, Interfraternity Coun cil; Vaughan Stapleton, Former All-College President; Russell Smiley, All-College Vice-President; James Sheehan, Senior Class President; Charles Pileegor, Senior Class President; Fred Keeker, President Liberal Arts Council, Chairman, Board of Dramatics and Forensics.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA flock, that is—that the editor of this paper is an out-and-out Republican (who is strangely out of place in some ways for he also prides himself on having liberal and progressive ideals that do not always concur with Old Guard policies). Having delivered our little sermon for the day, we would again like to ask our readers to get out and vote today—and ignore name callings that can’t be and aren’t backed by fact. • 'Off the Grass' One of the most important jobs on the auction block of Campus politics, today and tomorrow, is that of the All-College president. Under the present set-up, you, the student body, can expect a small portion—some s2oo— your class dues to go to the man you elect. The work involved is worth far more than $2OO, if the man works, say one-half as industriously as Mr. Foote did this year An attempt was made to pul committee sal aries on a pay-as-they-work basis, by Mr. Ful mer.but it was defeated. As a result, you are going to pay someone's salary next year whether he works or not. Running for, the All-College presidency are Mr. Hack and Mr. Lannen. Checking over their records (the kind that can be placed on activities cards and the like) one definitely gets the impression that Mr. Lannen has had more experience since he served two semesters as a class officer. For this reason we feel quite certain that Mr. Lannen, in the campaigning he does today and to morrow, will not object to having student voters ask him one question: “Just what did you do dur ing your two semesters on cabinet, Mr. Lannen?” From the many meetings we attended last year, as a student exercising his right to attend Cabinet meetings and not as a member of that body, we definitely feel that there is not much you can say, unless you mention the Bulletin Board project And should you care to expand bn this sub ject, it would only be fair for you to give full credit to a member of the opposing parly, Mr. Fulmer, for most of the work that was done on the Bulletin Board project. To our many readers who will be beating a path to the Armory for the elections today and tomor row, we have but this to add, “Keep off the Grass!” Non-Political Issues TO THE EDITOR: There are several non-political issues appearing on the ballots at today’s elections for the students’ vote. They appear here because Cabinet has deemed them worthy of this considera tion and because they are assessments and must be approved by the student body. One of these involves a 50 cent student assess ment for two semesters, grand total of one dollar, the proceeds to purchase new uniforms for the Blue Band. The assessment is. small, the need for new uniforms great as the present prewar stock has been ravaged by moth and general decay. It will involve no special collection but will be included in the' payment of fees. The Blue Band has represented and served the student body well in the past; will continue to do so in the future. We will appreciate your support at the polls today and tomorrow by your approval of this request Last White Shirt TO THE EDITOR: The residents of Windcrest are presently enjoying the benefits of a cooperative type of store, which was established when Leo Fie dorek was Burgess. Of course, there were those in authority who resisted and insisted that these “wealthy” X-Gl’s could easily afford the more than “fair” prices' in town, and might even become tainted politically if they purchased some of the basic foodstuffs in their own coop. , To their mediocre way of thinking, a place to buy things not along the main stem was taboo. _ Now, the groundwork has been laid for a similar type of store lo serve the needs of the Pollock Circle group. I would bet my last while . shiriihal not one of its customers will "go bad" politically because he bought a five cent candy bar for five cents. The State Party will do everything in its power to extend the facilities of a cooperative store to everyone not now served. The Party will work for the establishment of a store in a convenient location, which will service lhe needs of the general student body. The many varied groups and organizations rep resented in the party feel that the benefits of such a store are entirely in keeping with the aims of a “Better Penn State” for the student body. —Marvin Breslaw, Platform Committee, State Parly. Another - - - of the People TO THE EDITOR: In his review of Doll’s House, Mr. Shapiro panned most of the acting, notably Richard Frontman’s. Anyone who read the review could see that there was no mention of the acting. The fact of that matter is that Mr. Shapiro’s story was completely rewritten by the editor (who never saw the play) so as to soften the blow to those mentioned. I firmly agree with the author of yesterday’s let ter to the editor that some one other than a Player should review Player’s shows. —Another One of the People. • We appreciate these suggestions from our readers; we have promised Mr. Shapiro that he may take Mr. Frontman's job as soon as he learns how to write readable reviews. —William L.
