PAG* TWO Letters —From the Editors Mailbox Wants Better Paper TO THE EDITOR: i reau in this morning’s paper (Wednesday) that getting out and 'voting would result in a better Collegian. I have voted; now now aoout a better paper? • la an effort to fulfill our proai.ua m reautr Soliday. we are nappy ro reporr inat me new Senior Hoard. or ina will oe seiecxea and announcea cy r riauy allernoon. iney will take over their new auxies tne first of the week. We are certain that they will turn out a better paper than we have. Basic Principles TO THE EDITOR: The Platform Committee of the State Party wishes to take this last opportunity to reiterate the basic principles which have formed the keystone of all that was said and done in the current campaign. 1. Honesty—with everyone, including ourselves, in regard to everything that we try. 2. Determination—to see that the platform planks are carried out in the best possible manner. 3. Cooperation—with everyone working for a better Penn State. 4. Openness—so that all may know where we stand on any issue at any time. 5. Leadership—which is so definitely needed and which we feel we offer. Everything that was formulated had these five points as a basis, for we very sincerely believe that they are essential if a “Better Penn State” is to become a reality. However, regardless of your political preference, vote; it’s the least you can do for yourself and Penn State. —Marvin Breslaw, Platform Committee, Stale Party. What Fools We Be TO THE EDITOR: In name only, I address this let tar to George Purnell who recently wrote in a letter in this column that the former editorial board of Critique had tendencies which were too extreme for the student body. Actually, George Purnell (whom I do not know) is merely the chance recipient of my angry protest; this is addressed to a type of thought now preva lent here on campus and ‘throughout our whole country. In a sense, this issue of whether a College maga zine shall be free is a minor one, although I do hate to see the first worthwhile literary magazine at Penn State go by the boards. But the principle involved is a crucial one and your belief, Mr. Purnell, is symptomatic of a disease called Red Fever. This disease is characterized by attacking and putting a label of Red on, everyone who points out flaws in the existing political system.

Jane Weigle, chairman of the Student Book Ex change, was given permission to attempt to secure a permanent location for the Book Exchange, since a permanent location would enable the exchange to store books from one semester to the next in stead of being forced to sell them at a loss be cause of lack of storage space. _As a result of the recent investigation of the Liberal Arts Student Council election. Cabinet approved an amendment to Article 6 of the The amendment states, “School Councils shall oe elected in the manner prescribed by the respec tive councils. All School Council elections shall be subject to the approval of the Elections Commit tee. A petition stating the method of nomination and method of election to be carried on by the council must be submitted to the Elections Com mittee at least two weeks in advance of the elec tion date. This article becomes effective on May 1, 1947." At the request of Fred Keeker, Cabinet agreed to retain in the Community Forum fund the $25 necessary for membership in the group. John Lloyd, IFC president, read a letter tee. Cabinet accepted MacAdams' nomination. Fred Keeker asked that Cabinet consider an increase of ten cents per semester per student for forensic activities, which now receive 12J cents per semester per student. He explained that the increase is necessary to permit the glee clubs and debate groups to participate in more activities, since the sum was not increased when the glee club was organized, and a sum originally allotted to debate alone is now divided between glee club and debate. The Agriculture Student Council was granted permission to spend $5O for a picnic. sporting on the meeting of the State College Council on Racial Equality, asked whether Cabinet wished to support the proposed two-day “barbers’ holiday.” Cabinet agreed that all peaceable means of eliminating discrimination (such as circulating pledges) should be attempted before considering a boycott.

The rumor has been going around that the for mer editorial board of Critique HAD to resign be cause the last issue was too pink and extreme. . Your letter, Mr. Purnell, substantiates thal utterly false and naive belief. We did have an article by Henry Wallace and another called, “October Revolution” (obviously a parody even to Mr. Gregory). If these constitute communistic tendencies then I must renounce all I have learned at this College. If our attitude of wanting freedom of expression and freedom from bigotry is extreme, then we are all fools and no fool greater than we alleged edu cated who ought to know better. Sincerely yours, —Tames L. Framo. Left It or Leave It TO THE EDITOR: 1 wish to briefly defend the Critique review of the Thespian show, not as capable writing or evaluation, but as a legitimate criticism. Evidently the impulsive Mr. Reese, who at tacked it, doesn't realize it is possible to insert last minute copy into a magazine. The review in question was written immediately after Thespians' opening night performance and given directly to the printer who went to press with the magazine the following day. The only apology in order is from Mr. Reese for having assumed what was not so. And it would be interesting to learn just who among the wounded Thespian officers prodded him into writing his un substantiated protest. As for Editor Blatz’ pretty afterthought, I can only say that he had better hereafter keep an eye on his sophomoric drama critic, Mr. Shapiro, who in expounding a point found it necessary to lift a line from the Critique review. —David E. Cummings, Ex-editor of Critique. • On the contrary. Mr. Cummings, Mr. Sha piro's line, "The lyrics on some LEFT some thing to be desired, however." is. nowhere as poetic as Critique's "We are still humming Ray Fortunato's songs, but the lyrics LEAVE something to be desired." Besides, he had the review in our hands (though it wasn't pub lished for two days) before he could possibly have seen the Critique review. lutions previously passed by WSGA’s House of Representatives.
