There I was told that I must have the instructor's

how about trying Philadelphia or Baltimore for , a
change?
r or those who don't know what we mean, we
are referring to the 4.ecision of the All-College
Cabinet to declare the Saturday of the Pitts
burgh gam, a holiday.
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.
We realize that this letter will bring opposition,
therefore we suggest that Collegian run a poll to
riccide according to democratic tradition which

Collegian
Collegian regrets the printing of an erroneous
statement under the name of Alex Gregory in the
article "The Inquiring Reporter" which appeared
in Friday morning's edition.
This unfortunate incident occurred when an
other student told Collegian's reporter that be
was Mr. Gregory and presented a quote un
favorable to pep rallies in an effort to present
the Critique editor in bad light.
Collegian, therefore, extends its apologies to Alex
Gregory and prints his actual statement as pre
sented to a member of the staff Thursday after
noon.
Alex Gregory—third semester—art educe.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Attention, Cabinet
TO THE EDITOR: I see articles appearing in the
Times and Collegian about the movie vote to be
taken next month, and think now is the time for
some vigorous action on the part of the students.
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.

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.
