PAGE TWO Time To Be Careful Friday the Student Welfare Senate decides whether or not to admit the Young Progressive Citizens of America to the Campus. There is no doubt that the YPCA, a branch of the PCA, is a liberal group, but like every thing else liberalism comes in doses, slightly left of center, middle-center, and extremely left of center. Henry A. Wallace, whose resignation President Truman requested last September after Wallace criticized the American policy towards Russia, charted the aims of the PCA at the founding ban quet on December 29, 1946, when he criticized “the lukewarm liberals who try to sit on not only two but three chairs at a time.” He also said that “the essence of the pro gressive faith as I see it is belief in the goal of peace, prosperity, and freedom in one world. Those who put hatred of'Russia first in all their feelings and actions do not believe in peace. However, Mr. Wallace failed to mention whose Thou Didst Mold Us.. Final week and the end of another semester are wpon us. The next week and a half will be a period of toil and tribulation for students at the College. And during this period of honest effort by l the ma jority of students, a little group of perennial chis elers will be getting their usual passing grades and win be gloating to their cohorts over the shady use of crib notes and secretary acquaintanceships. Immediate expulsion of classroom cheaters would at once remove a blight on the Penn State education system and would make clear the path of those petty offenders, who, perhaps justifiably, cheat a little so they won't be too deeply imbedded in a grading curve raised by the leeches in the student body. The proctor system seems the only solution at Letters —From the Editor s Mailbox Who Done It? TO THE EDITOR: It so happens that the Collegian printed a letter concerning the method of tapping prospective members for the various “hat” soci eties on campus, and it also happens that your paper gave the ignominious credit for writing this letter to one Leslie Rosencrans and myself. Just to keep the records straight, allow me to enlighten you to the fact that I definitely did not write the aforementioned letter. To clarify a few other points, Td like to add that I've never even met Mr. Rosencrans. It seems that the little boys who did. the actual writing of that letter are not men enough to sign their own names to it If they want to cry because they didn’t know Joe and hence were . ot tapped, let them consider this fact: perhaps Joe doesn’t care to know ch&dx'ea of their calibre. Respectfully, John L. Balega • We wish to apologize to Mr. Balega and Mr. Rosencrans as well as to the Penn State Engineer for our carelessness in printing a letter to the editor without first authenticating the signatures. H the persons who wrote the letter feel that tapping is unfair, let them make Pollock Circle residents who paid their room and board feos at the Bursar’s office last week were handed $4.25 in change when they turned over their S6S government subsistence checks. The story seems to be that the College, which computes “Beaverboard Manor” charges by the semester, found out that its monthly assessments were not going to total up to the pre-described semester rate and therefore raised the final payment. Ergo, the SpMnterville Commandos have all of one buck and a quarter for such luxuries as laundry, toothpaste, soap, cigarettes, and Senior Ball. Several months ago we reported that Wil liam Bond Gould, a rugged individualist who is planning to write a book, "To Hell With Shaving," was sprouting a beard. Now we are pleased to add that the beard is full grown and kept well-clipped. Gould says that before the beard, he was self-conscious and had a feeling that people were always watching him. Now at least he knows why when passersby look his way as he saunters along.

A constitution can be very easily filled with high-sounding principles, but actually if is the members of such an organization who must be investigated. While the PCA professes to be independent of all political parties, many pro-communists have found refuge in it. The PCA operates in reverse of the committee of Americans For Democratic Ac tion (ADA) which has committed itself to the ex clusion of the communist influence. Such liberals as Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt, wife of the past president, and Franklin D. Roosevelt Jr. are members of the ADA, not the PCA. At a time when many organizations are taking on “high faluting” and well sounding names, we must be very sure we know who our fellow trav ellers will be before we join, or even consider it at all. this time. But that smacks of a degree of faculty surveillance which should not be necessary in a student community of high standards and ideals. However, until the day when instructors are barred from examination rooms and course final grades clearly reflect honest endeavor and true capacity, we present a code, half-forgotten in the Nittany valley, which could become the finest of Penn State traditions. Well, Weill I might add that the opening and closing sen tences were omitted in the reprinting. Edit Quips • The veil of secrecy as to the purpose of the permanent dormitories now under construction has at last been, lifted. A sign at the entrance of the $6,000,000 project east of Shortlidge Road states that the units are to be used for women: Here and There Timetable, you will have noticed several changes in class scheduling for next semester. For one thing, afternoon classes will begin ten minutes after the hour instead of twenty after as is the custom now- An even more important change is the schedul ing of the classes themselves. No longer is it pos sible to schedule a nine o’clock Monday, Wednes day, and Friday. Now if you schedule that nine o’clock, you’ll have to take a two o’clock on Wed nesday. This plan, which was used before the war, will utilize the Tuesday and Thursday afternoon Eeriods more efficiently but will prove a special ardship to the LA students who will be staying 'up until all hours this week trying to figure out Monday, Wednesday, Bind Friday schedules. Nittany-Independent politicos took quite a slap in the face at the polls this month when Gene Ful mer was their only victorious candidate. The re turns were a double set-back because the N-I wheels gave Gene little chance of winning and therefore buried him in the post of All-College secretary-treasurer. They figured the 28-year-old Junior class president was a bad bet for two rea sons: (1) he is an independent and (2) he has tried to do something even when it means stepping on political toes. * * • PENN STATE HONOR CODE "A good name is earned by fair play, square dealing and good sportsmanship in the class room. on lhe athletic field and in all other Col lege relations.

Ed Banyai, newly elected Senior prexy, is quoted in this month's Salute Magazine as saying that campus politics is "kid stuff."

Smith Women Form Treble Club If the men can have a glee club, why not the coeds? With this thought in the minds of Bet ty Herring and Carolyn Lerch, both ’45, came the birth of, the Treble Singers, the College’s all girl chorus. Organization began in the fall of 1944 with Carolyn Lerch as the first president. The girls chose Guy Woods, then ' new in the music department, to direct the new singing group. Now in its third year, Treble Singers has developed into a well organized-chorus of 116 voices, singing four-part, harmony. The girls will present their third an nual concert in Schwab at 8 o’- clock tonight. It's difficult to say exactly what type of music the group sings. For instance, in their con cert tonight will be an old Eng lish madrigal type number, and also an arrangement of Siboney, which is modern enought for any swing addict’s tastes. Student Art Exhibit Shows Local Scenes Numerous local scenes are de picted in paintings and other pieces of art included in the ex hibit of the works of students of the department of architecture and division of fine arts at the College.
