We are an organization of people who want to work for a free, prosperous and democratic America. We seek to combat apathy which is reaction's weapon. YPCA seeks to enlist all liberal minded students in a year-round pro gram of action on national, state, and local issues. To further clarify just what YPCA is and what it stands for allow me to state the following. We are not a political party. We owe no allegiance tc any political party. We are the youth division of the Progressive Citizens of America (PCA) wit, a concentration of 18-25-year-olds. YPCA func tions on 40 university campuses and has a mem bership of over 2,000 students. Our objects are many and affect directly all students. We support FEPC, increased veterans' subsistence, federal aid to education, the 18-year old vote. the United Nations, and a high standard of living for all Americans. We oppose un equivocally any form of discrimination based on race, color, creed or national origin. The "good fight" is a long, hard struggle and the immediate gains seem pitifully small at times. But the advance of social progress moves steadily and the struggle shows concrete results. We of the Penn State chapter of YPCA hope that many more of our study body will join us in that battle for better living. —William Bensch, Acting Chairman, Penn State Chapter Y.P.C.A. $9,900 Question TO THE EDITOR: I would like to use the Col legian as the means of bringing to the students of the Nittany and Pollock Circle dorms the fact that they are continuing to pay for their room and board while they are on Thanksgiving Vacation. As approximately 1800 students of these two dorms did today, I paid $55.00 for five weeks board. During these five weeks, we are on vaca tion 41 days. If we allow one day or three meals for late departures or early returns, we find that the students are paying $9,900 and not getting a darn thing for their money. What, may I ask, is becoming of this $9,900? Isn't it possible for the Nittany and Pollock Circle Councils to take some action on this mat ter? We have about 14 days vacation, not counting Christmas, and this amounts to quite a sizable sum of money. —Earl C. Supplee, Jr. 9 P.M.
