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,

Green, All-College Secretary-Treasurer;

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.

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. Keefauver,
President, Blue Band.
