Think Before You Vote
Citizens of the borough of State College will go
to the polls today to take a stand on allowing
movies to be shown on Sundays in this community.
Since several hundred of these citizens are
Windcrest residents who are registered voters in
Centre County, it is important that they see the
issue in the light of student welfare. Towns
people too must look at the idea of Sunday
movies objectively and not be swayed in their
decision by speeches which attempt to cloud the
issue.
Wednesday, Tom Lannen, All-College president,
sent an open letter to the citizens of State College.
The letter, which was published in the Centre
Daily Times, pointed out that Sunday movies
would provide recreation facilities "which are
urgently needed with the expansion of our school."
Lannen stated further that the showing of Sun
day movies would greatly relieve the problem of
insufficient recreation since there are large num
bers of independent students both on and off the
campus with no means of diversion on Sunday
afternoons.
The problem of Sunday afternoon diversion,
however, has been sidestepped by such organiza
tions as the State College chapter of the W.C.T.U.
The organization, set up supposedly to combat
the use of drinking alcohol, is diligently solicit
ing all State College ministers urging them to
fight Sunday movies from the pulpit.
The reason given is that "Sunday movies are in
defiance of the Fourth Commandment, 'Remember
the Sabbath Day to keep it holy'."
Yet the Arch-Deacon of the diocese of Harris
burg, John R. Leatherbury, Rector of the St.
Luke's Episcopal Church recently said in a ser
mon in Altoona "there is no word in the Bible
against entertainment on Sunday. I hope that
my people will not be hypocrites. It is NOT a sin
to go to Sunday movies or to have Sunday
sports."
In a large paid advertisement in Friday's Col
legian aimed at the veterans, "Your Comrade,"
Eugene H. Lederer spoke of honky tonks, gam
bling dens, and immoral sewers and intimated that
Sunday movies would indirectly bring these "Hell
holes" into the community in place of the Churches.
Lederer, a World War I veteran and former
burgess of State College, boasts of being a mem
mer of the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the
American Legion. Both of these organizations
openly sell beer to members in their club houses
on Sunday. Other community fraternal organiza
tions display slot machines which can be op
erated seven days a week.
We suggest that Mr. Lederer and other "right
eous" townspeople who insist that Sunday movies
will turn State College into a "Hell-hole" think
about the hypocrisy of their statements.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Getting Acquainted
James Milholland has his work cut out for him
A segment of the studenty body received their
first glimpse of the new acting president of the
College Friday night at the pep rally on the steps
of Old Main.
The difficulties which confront Mr. Milholland
at the offset of his tenure of office are diversi
fied and complex. He first has to adjust to the
modern ways of campus life that prevail here
now as compared to his undergraduate days.
He then has to broaden his acquaintances so that
they reach not only to the members of his ad
ministrative group, but to the growing list d
faculty members as well as student leaders.
Along with the preliminary adjustments re
quired for him to take his place as president of
the College, he must delve into the countless prob
lems which come before him in his job as chief
administrator.
There is no doubt that Mr. Milholland is con
scious of the tremendous responsibility which is
his. He will undoubtedly rely on men like Messrs.
Hostetter, Keller, Morse, Wyand, and Kenworthy
for valuable assistance.
There is one phase of his job as president in
which he can receive no assistance. It will be
through his own efforts that he will be acceptici
by the student body. Perhaps Mr. Milholland's
temporary status will prevent him from achiev
ing this goal. We hope not, for a great deal of
satisfaction can be derived from winning the re
spect and friendship of the undergraduates.
At the pep rally Friday Mr. Milholland's inform
al talk to the student body was a sincere effort to
establish friendly relations. It was evident that
his first try was successful.
It is hoped that the students will get to see a
lot more of the president at future College func
tions. —LGF.
Editor's Mail call
Passing the 'Buck'
TO THE EDITOR: At a house meeting recently
we were informed that one of the hat societies was
canvassing the fraternities and sororities for a $5
donation to purchase a new lion mascot skin for
next fall.
We find it difficult to understand why a frat
ernity man or a sorority woman is supposed to
feel more pride in our mascot than the inde
pendent sitting beside us. Why not give every
body a chance to kick in on a new lion skin?
Maybe somebody will feel hurt that they didn't
get a chance to contribute.
We should also like to hear from someone in an
official capacity at the College explaining just why
the students have to buy band uniforms and things
such as the proposed new lion. Is the College so
poor that we can't afford it? We have seen more
than capacity crowds at football games this fall.
Are we still losing money on them?
We are getting fed up on having the bile put
on us every time the College needs something.
It's not the five clams we are griping about. We
simply feel that if we have to underwrite part
of the athletic needs of one of the largest schools
in the country it's about time we make like the
University of Chicago and drop out football, or
give the students a larger voice in the athletic
policy.

Confused Coeds
TO THE EDITOR: We would appreciate your
consideration of this letter in your next edition of
The Collegian.
"Guilty?"
"Dirty Rushing!" Ever hear of It? It may mean
anything from "twisting a right arm" to the great
offense of "note slipping," which goes something
like this, "Sorry we missed you, see you• Tuesday
at the house! ! " or, even tell them the exact
time. Who cares, it was still a note. Well, the
Panhel Code vaguely said it was wrong—or did
they say it was 0.K.?
Perhaps many misunderstandings could and
should have been avoided if the code were stated
in a manner in which there could be one, and
only one interpretation. We feel that this could
eliminate a lot of "heartaches." "feudin' and a
fussin'," "guilty" feelings, and the rest of those
Groovology connotations.
The two misinformed victims of circumstances
willingly "took it on the chin." Previously a third
younger sorority undid all their wrong, yet still
suffered. How about some justice? ? ? ? Maybe a
revised code would do the trick!

'Twasn't Nothing
TO THE EDITOR: Just a line from an "import"
to thank dear Penn State for arranging such a
scrumptions house-party weekend: perfect weather,
swell Prom, triumph over West Virginia, good food,
and plenty of friendly "hellos." Couldn't have been
better. Tell me—how didja' do it!

Who's the Culprit?
TO THE EDITOR: Some stu
dents on this campus 'insist on
putting false notices on the al
ready crowded bulletin board at
the Student Union Office.
Occasionally, people are inter
ested in the notice and upon in
quiring find it to be a hoax.
I am conscious of two such
acts committed by the same
party, and I believe it would
benefit the students if the re
sponsible people would refrain
from such practices.

Necessary Trip?
TO THE EDITOR: On behalf
of the thousands of Penn Staters
in this metropolitan section of
southeastern Pennsylvania, we
are writing to urge that arrange
ments be made for the Blue
Band to come to Philadelphia on
Friday. November 7, so that they I
can be with us for the smoker.
as well as be at the. Penn State-
Temple game on that Saturday.
We were most surprised to
learn there was any question
about the Blue Band being with
us for the Temple game. Great
preparations are being node
for the smoker and the game
and the dance and our younger
Alumnae and Alumni have been
Particularly helpful in setting
up the program for that week
end. We feel that if the band
and the authorities at the Col
lege can only appreciate how
important it is for our fine band
to be in Philadelphia, they will
make the necessary arrange
ments for them to come.
It would certainly be publicity
in reverse if this game is treated
as unimportant and the many
graduates and students and form
er students of the College have to
be content without the Blue
Band to add color and music to
these °cessions. Furthermore.
Temple always took its band to
the College when the game was
Played on Beaver Field and it
would not seem Droner handling
for the Blue Band to be absent
at this important game. The en
thusiasm for Penn State's win
ning football team is mounting
every week and we want to co
operate in having the Blue Band
