Had I known, this could have been done the first time. Incidentally, does one file a Drop-Add card for section changes? The registrar says "Yea!" Most instructors say "No!"

We don't blame the All-College Cabinet for their decision, but we feel that they have misjudged the opinion of the majority of the students. First of all, this is the second consecutive year in which the Pittsburgh game has been declared a holiday. It is about time the East be given a chance. Secondly, while Pitt is a big rival, the Temple game is just as important to the people of Philadelphia. Also, the Penn State vs. Navy game is one of the biggest games of the East. Finally, after taking a tally of the people in the student directory whose last names begin with A, B, and C, we found that sev enty-six (76) live in Philadelphia proper while only forty-five (45) live in Pittsburgh proper. It is time to switch to the East. The Penn State Alumni of Philadelphia have already made preparations for the Temple weekend. A smoker and a dance are to be bold at the Bellevue-Stratford Hotel Friday and Sat- urday nights respectively.

To acquaint newcomers to the campus with the situation, perhaps I should say that, if you haven't already found out, State College does not permit movies on Sunday. It seems that the question comes up for a vote every once in a while, but certain organizations strongly oppose Sunday movies, and sway the vote, while the students sit on the sidelines and have no say-so in the matter. Thus certain individ uals• and organizations have set themselves up as authorities on "How to Spend a Pleasant Sunday" and succeed in forcing their own narrow views on the unwilling majority. The members of the student body can climb Mt. Nittany, listen to the Shadow, read Flash Gordon, play chess, or go out to the Radio Corral, but there is something degrading about going to the movies on Sunday. Try to figure that one out. The people who oppose movies, and they are townspeople, since the voters make the decision, for the most part own or rent homes. They can spend comfortable Sundays there. A greater per centage of them own cars and can travel on week ends than is true among students. Most are busi nessmen and women who 'are free during the eve nings (professors excepted). • Thus they do not understand the plight of the average student on Sunday. He is away from home, perhaps living in a, single room, has no car, and has spent most of his eeenings hitting the books. Those who are better off then should not have the privi lege of depriving Mr. Average Student of his well earned pleasure and relaxation. So, if you want Sunday' movies, better organize now. Let people know what you want.diks for me, I will refuse to belong to, support, or participate in any group which opposes this question. --Name Withheld „llere and _./here By Dick Sarge Paying the Piper Charlie Barnet will collect $1750 for his musical chores at the Junior Prom, October 24. This is a welcome change from the past situation. A year and a half ago, a well-known singer -leader was "racing with the moon" in his asking price of $4OOO plus a percentage of the box office receipts. The, Penn State Interclass Finance system isn't able to handle such a risk normally, and Prom committee men are to be commended for picking up a good band at a reasonable price. Pena Slate's "TUB The label "TUB," for Temporary Union Building, has been tagged onto the USO building recently acquired from the city of Lebanon. The idea is to keep strong the student move for a large perma nent Student Union structure. The administration, particularly Mr. Samuel K. Hostetter, the College treasurer, moved fast to take possession of the building for campus use despite competition from other interested groups. Ent Easy, Defense—Pr, lens on My Pillow He became interested in this column, but, said he, "this interest was limited to the one article 'They Play for Pay'." OUCH! Then, "Mr. Serge destroys school spirit." Better, perhaps, Name Withheld become better informed. Next, "hardly a man on the Penn State squad ... would not be very glad to 'pick up $5O a game'. The answer is—hardly. Their loyalty and performance for the Blue and White is highly commendable. Most could play pro ball now if they so desired. I'm sorry you even mentioned the subject. Name Withheld wants to know, "Is he inciting State players to leave for Altoona and dash?", That's ridiculous! No one is prouder of Penn State's mighty eleven of this season. And, Ray, when it comes to the amount they are receiving for playing pro football (I take it that's your point, or is it?) my source is one of the Penn Staters who is playing for the Altoona club and for whom I have the most respect. Naming him would be to betray a confidence. This Changing Wos .., Appearing in a recent edition of the Philadel phia Inquirer was this rebuttal to a "letter to the editor" from a salesgirl which was derogatory to waitresses. "I am a waitress in one of Pennsylvania's lead ing restaurants. . . . what training and skill are necessary to become a salesgirl? The qualification that goes the longest way toward being a good and profitable waitress is a pleasing personality and a willingness to wait on customers. Some of you salesgirls could use some of that." Naaaaaaaaah! THE BREW THAT MADE THEM FAMOUS This word comes straight from the bartender, which is practically from the horse'e mouth. Moguls of the State College Legion post are con sidering a three-dollar yearly admittance fee for out of town Legionnaires. An addition to the pres ent post home is now being constructed—paved with Penn Staters funds for a goodly portion. Sound business heads might ponder over this new economic move. Will students pay three bucks for out-of-town cards or stay out of the Legion en tirely? They'll probably go elsewhere. La Vie Photos- (Continued from page one) Instructors have been given permission by Arthur it. War nock, dean of men, to excuse students from class showing a La Vie photograph appointment card. If students have already had pictures taken at the Photo Shop and want to use them for La Vie, they may do so by paying a $.25 reprint fee. Only pictures taken by the Photo Shop may be used. • Reappointments will be given students who were scheduled to be photographed from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Monday. Seniors who have not already received their photo appointment cards will get them within the next two weeks.
