With the Editor Rumbling noises are beginning to emanante again from far-away regions of Pollock Circle. It is a repitition of last year's campaign to get Pol lock Circle that coveted seat on All-College Cab inet. That question of a Cabinet vote has been uti lised for everything from getting a new party into power to making martyrs of a few men seeking personal glory. While glory-seeking people have been busy trying to convince the Pollock Circle residents that they are desperately in need of representa tion, they have been omitting the fact that every male student is represented at least six times in Cabinet through ELECTED office-holders. To enumerate; every man belongs to a class and is therefore represented by his class president; every man is enrolled in a school of the College and has the right to elect his council members; every man Is a member of the Athletic Associa tion and has the privilege of electing the presi dent of that organization. In addition every man votes in the All-College election for All-College Letters from the Editor's Mailbox No Military Training TO THE EDITOR: Convinced of the dangerous consequences to this country should the bill ad vocating Universal Military training be passed by Congress, we hereby state our unalterable opposi tion to this program, or to any other form of peacetime military conscription. We feel that any program, designed primarily to train men for or ganized killing is basically un-Christian. Further more it cannot provide youth with the kind of training needed as future citizens. Military life is totalitarian, and adjusting to it does not build individuals able to take a responsible part in a democracy. Finally, we cannot feel that preparing for war can ever result in peace. Individuals and groups must learn to live together in "that spirit which takes away the occasion for war," and we are convinced that universal military training will not help to further that spirit. We strongly urge any persons or groups feel- College Calendar All, calendar items must be in the Daily Collegian office by 4:30 p.m. on the day pre ceding publication.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA president, vice-president, and secretary-treasurer, all of whom have votes in Cabinet. If anyone belongs to any special activity or• ganisations such as independent clubs, fraternl. ties, publications, debate, dramatics, or musical clubs, he is given additional representation. To take a constructive viewpoint, if the men In Pollock Circle together with the rest of the student body feel that despite their six elected representa tives they still do not have voice in student gov ernment, the the Penn State All-College govern ing system must be completely revised. If the desire is to place emphasis on representa tion by housing areas or living units then it is sug gested that State College be divided into areas according to student population. Then the resit dents could elect delegates to a body similar to that of the national house of representatives. A bicameral system similar to that of the Uni versity of Wisconsin could then be set up with the representatives of the living units as the leg. Wally* body and the All. Cabinet as the exeeu• live body. lag a similar concern to take some kind of ow= Hon toward helping to defeat this measure. First of all it is well to become thoroughly informed on the issue; /then. letters or telegrams to sena. tors and representatives, or to the president are important. Finally. every person who is thoroughly aroused over this issue should help to educate others to its real meaning. Larry Gars. Secretary, Young Friends Groups of State College A Chance To Be Informed Many students at Penn State, thru no fault of their own, are either misinformed on many of the national and international issues of the pres ent day or are lacking in knowledge because of the pressure of class work, the isolated posi tion of State College or the extrinsic commit ments of the Skellar and Corner Room. The fine efforts of the Community Forum series and other campus programs to alleviate this lack of information is highly commendable. One major issue of the day is the Palestine Prob lem. The coming Common Sense Forum on the Palestine Question in 10 Sparks at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 11, affords students and townspeople an excellent opportunity to hear the facts of both sides from Rabbi Kahn and Dr. Shibli—both are well informed authorities on this problem. An hour or so of your time next Tuesday night will be well rewarded by keeping you informed on a prob lem that concerns every one of us. John Devlin Suggestions Wanted TO THE EDITOR: In the coming elections, the platform of the Nittany-Independent Party will embody those issues which stand for the advancement of the College and betterment of the interests of all students, both on and oil campus. At the present, this platform is still in the pro cess of being made. Before completing it, we would like to hear more of your suggestions for projects, such as the Student Union, which are of vital con cern to the students. To make this possible, I urge each of you to contact me either by phone or post card at Phi Sigma Kappa, and tell me the things you would like to see done here for both your wel fare and that of the College. By doing this, our platform, party, and candidates will represent you to the fullest degree. Frank N. McElroy, Chairman Platform Committee, Nittany-Independent Party. An Old Issue TO THE EDITOR: I have been wanting to write this letter for four years and boy, it feels good tc get it out of my system. . . . Once again we have seen ■ determined towns people oppose the will of the majority of stu dents and vote down Sunday movies. Their hypocritical, perverted minds have unrealistic ally thwarted the students on many occasions. This cold war between the students and the resi dents of State College has been going on almost since the founding of the school and the latter have always won because they control the vital necessities of life. The townspeople charge us impossible and ex orbitant prices for rent and clothing and we repay them by giving them the best seats at the football games and admittance to all college functions at a time when there isn't enough room for half the students. I certainly hope the day will come when the College will be completely self-sufficient, able to house all of its students, and provide through co operative stores for all the other needs. Then, per haps, the landlords will have time to spend the fortunes they squeezed out of X-GI checks dur ing the housing shortage. In the meantime, when the college has band concerts or any other entertainment on Sunday the townspeople must be obliged to stay away lest their souls be perjured by the Godlessness of it all.

Framo Jr. Sincer•ly yours. One Man's . Meat H emming By Ben Frinch You could easily tell that Phineas T. Glockenspiel, Collegian's feline authority on women's fashions, was in a good mood yester day. He had just received word of the proclamation of "Short Skirt Week" on campus. "This is the most encouraging news I've heard since I was a kitten," he beamed from eared to ear like a Cheshire cat. "Our 'Men Stern the Hem!' campaign is real- • ly starting to roll. By the end of I I I KIN i 1 I 1 la next Week, I wouldn't be stir -1... j. 4, ....

"Next Tuesday's Froth contains statements from the Deans of Men and Women, Dr. Clifford (lbw to Pick a Mate') Adams, Police chief Juba and other recognised authorities in regard to the effect of long skirts on morale. Oh yes, I also get in my two cants worth in the article.

"If we men stick together in this fight for our rights, we can show these coeds that we do know something_ about women's fashions and that our tastes should be considered. Too long _we have taken our women as they are. This is the crowning blow! Men must assert their rights here or. soon be pushed out of the picture al together. "We're calling on all men, students and faculty, for support. If you see a wearer of the 'New Look' this week, enlighten them with some gentlemanly remark such as 'OR your knees, Babe!' or `Migawd, you look awful!' If your date comes down with a droop ing hem, run back to the house for your old GI fatigues. Then start to grow a beard. That always gets a response!" "What about the defeat of Sunday Movies. P.T.?" we asked the little fellow. "Well, Ben when I first heard the results last Tuesday night, I felt like running out and organizing a student riot to burn down the West Precinct but I cooled oft by Wednesday morning. Then I learned what might very possibly have been the reason we lost. Last weekend an unofticial poll indicated that the voters o f have passed by at least 400 votes. Then Monday the voters of State College received a letter in the morning mail. This letter was printed on stationery that carried the letterhead of 'The State Col lege Citizen's Committee for Sunday Movies.' "It was a nice letter allright, and everyone was happy until they noticed the postmark was from Pittsburgh. Now it just hap pens that Warner Brothers' district office is in Pittsburgh and quite a few people around here, especially the opposition, know that. So for another decade State College will continue to be without Sun day Movies because someone in Pittsburgh fouled up in public relations. "Speaking of the election, did you see where Judge Ivan Walker, a Democrat, wu re-elected for another term—quite an accomplishment for solid-Republican Centre County. How does that effect us? Well. Judge Walker was the one who gave mar ried veterans and students giving State College as their perma nent address the right to vote here. "Well, Ben, I've gotta run along now. I'm getting ready to leave for Philadelphia. By the way, most of the State gang will thinkeeig Saturday night after the "game at Tenth and Arch. I that's the location. of the Art Museum." ::il Report on a Student Enterprise Emory Brown To Release Plans for Cooperatives Cooperatives, as a student enterprise, will become a major issue at the College next week, said Emory Brown, chairman of the campus co-op committee, who will release pledge requests for the student cooperative book store. The Cooperative book store will be the fourth cooperative organ zation at State College. To acquaint students with these cooperatives and their operating procedure, Collegian will feature a story on each -ooperative next week. The State College Co-op Store it 128 West Beaver avenue or- :anized in 1936, began as a small 'luying club for ten faculty farni les. It now serves both faculty and townspeople through a full 3ized grocery store. Provides Cheaper Living The College Cooperative So ciety, located at 244 East Nittany avenue began nine years ago fol lowing a student social inquiry trip to New York• It is a social and dining cooperative, providing' low cost meals for men and wo men, and low coat housing for women. The Windcrest co-op store is one year old this fall. Although it is a branch of the State College Co-op, using the same stock, it forms its own policy and operat ing margin. State College cooperatives are a part of the cooperative move ment spreading into Eastern schools from the West and Mid west. The total number of student co-ops has increased since the re turn of veterans from 254 organi zations to more than 300. Campus co-ops have banded together into the Pacific Coast Student Cooperative League, the Midwest Federation of Campus rrttr•Ay, NOVEMM 7, 1047 & H a-mg Cooperatives, and the Central League of Campus Cooperatives. These regional federations are organized with Canadian federa tions to form the North American Student Cooperative League.
