Wants Band In Texas
TO THE EDITOR: I am happy that the students
are enthusiastic over the Cotton Bowl bid. We are
equaily as enthusiastic over Penn State's accept
ance, and although it is a long distance down to
Texas we sincerely hope that many of the students
can make the trip.
We also earnestly hope that it will be possible
to bring the band. The visiting team's band not
only adds color to the spectacle, but adds to the
public's feeling that a bowl game is of soma
significance and not merely a commercial ven
ture.
Hoping to see you in Dallas and assuring you of
our desire to cooperate in any way.
Sincerely.
Jordan C. Ownby.

Mr. elate Writes From the South
TO THE EDITOR: I am rapidly getting sick of
letters that are written by guys like Shalowitz,
Kaplan, Neckrith, Kloecher, Hancher, Herman, and
Richards—l refer to the "Sour on Sugar Bowl" let
ters these protectors of minority groups penned for
your November 13 issue of the Collegian.
Such groups and their counterparts are always
whining about racial discrimination, religious in
tolerance, capitalistic exploitation and the like,
ut what have they really done to get rid of the
problems?
For instance, last year a group of students were
oing to do something about discrimination, which
xists in State College, and not only down here
luth of the Mason-Dixon line.
The Collegian cooperated to the extent of pub.
icixing all their efforts. But what happened?
Can the colored boys get their hair cut in State
College barber shops . . . has the football team
removed the ban it levied against having colored
boys living Jai Greystone manor?
And what Is the point in talking about racial
discrimination in the North? Negroes are no more

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE
discriminated against in the North than are the
Jews.
It's down here in the South that the Negro is
denied his rights. I suggest that Shalowitz. Kap
lan and company come on down to the South and
voice their sentiments against discrimination.
I'd be only too happy to have them join me for I
seem to be waging a losing battle and would ap
preciate a little support.
So before a bunch of guys try to keep Karver or
Stone from racing in the Sugar Bowl because of
the South's discrimination, I suggest that they
either stamp out discrimination entirely in State
College or else come on out here and put a stop to
discrimination in the South.
I suspect. however. that they're a bunch of
parlor pinks who do all their work with their
mouths, prefacing most of their remarks with
those famous last-words, "Some of my best
friends are Negroes" or, "most of the Jews I know
are the finest people."
Mr. Editor, I will apologize for my nasty state
ments about these guys if I'm wrong in my sur
misal . . . perhaps they have stamped out all dis
crimination or even a little bit of it in State Col
lege; if they have though, you have been guilty of
the terrible crime of not publicizing it in the Col
legian.
Yours for a practical, not theoretical Democracy,
M. A. Blatz, Norman, Okla.
• If ex-editor Blats had read carefully the
letter he refers to. he would have realised that
the writers had merely asked why a member of ,
the track team was given permission to run in
the Sugar Bowl tournament after the Athletic
Advisory Board had turned down a similar in
vitation to the boxing team because of a dis
criminatory clause in the bid.
While we are pleased to inform Mr. Blab that
both Negro gridders are living in Graystone
Manor, we are sorry to report that Negroes still
can't get their hair cut in State College bather
shops

That's a Doak, Son
By Ben French
Phineas T. Glockenspiel, Collegian's eminent
feline football authority, was on the telephone
when we walked into the Collegian office yester
day. He indicated that the call was long distance
and for us to sit down and be quiet.
"Okay, Millie, I'll see you New Year's Eve and
you keep an eye on that Doak Walker guy for me,
will you?" he
was saying.
Sure, we'll go to
the best places
in Dallas the
ice show at the
Adolphus an d
the party at the
Plantation. You
just keep watch
ing SMU and
call me here at the Collegian if anything breaks
before I get there. Sure, you can *call collect. We
have lots of money here. Goodbye, Millie."
When he finished at the phone, he smiled and
said. "Nice girl, that Millie, sweetest little An
gora kitten you ever did see."
"Where did you meet her?" we asked P. T. as
the little fellow leaned back in Editor Ostar's chair
and lighted one of the cigars Froth Editor Art
Stober had left in exchange for some free pub
licity he had hoped to get in Collegian.
"Picked her up—er I mean. I met her at the
TCU-SMU game last Saturday in Fort Worth.
Went down there with Bob Higgins and the
Lion to scout the Mustangs. Man. what . a team
Many Bell has this year. That Doak Walker is
the best passer the Southwest has seen since
Sammy Baugh and Davey O'Brien. He not only
makes the touchdowns but he kicks the extra
points, too.
"And Doak's not the only one on the team either.
Remember Bob Folsom from last year's great Army
team? He's the guy that caught that winning pass
that gave the Cadets their win over Michigan. He's
down there too, dragging in Walker's passes. Then
there's Gilbert Johnson and Sid Halliday—another
passing combination.
"SMU has a great team—the best we've seen this
season but we can beat them if we only get our
passing defense down to a science like we have our
ground defense. With less than a minute and a half
remaining, SMU found itself six points behind.
Three passes changed everything and the Mus
tangs tied it up. I'll be seeing those passes in my
sleep," P. T. moaned. _ _ _
"ay the way, you should see the classy buses
those Southwestern teams use to travel to the
games. They're owned by the schools arid are all
painted up with the team's mascot, nickname,
and colors. Understand they're quite a saving
over using the train like the Lions do.
"Hum Fishburn would have enjoyed seeing the
TCU and SMU bands. They play entirely different
than the Eastern bands. Play their marches and
school songs in jazz tempo. When you close your
eyes you could swear you were sitting in the
Paradise."
"Well, we've covered football, buses, and bands.
How about those Texas women we've all heard so
much about?" we asked.
"This is for publication. isn't it? Well. I'll just
say this—when you go to Dallas. fellows. go
stag!"

U.S. Should Aid European
Cultural Revival—Champlin
The educational and cultural recovery of Europe deserves u
much American support as does the economic recovery of that con
tinent, said Dr. Carroll D. Champlin, professor of ,education, when
interviewed recently.
"There ought to be an educational and cultural plan comparable
to the Marshall plan, to enable us to keep pace with Russia in that
respect," he declared.
By subsidizing students from
such key countries as Germany
and Italy, Russia is getting in the
first blows in the ideological
struggle between democracy and
communism, continued Dr.
Champlin, who toured nine Four°.
peen nations last summer.
He described the young people
of occupied countries as "disillu
sioned and in the doldrums" re
garding their educational, cul
tural, and spiritual aims. More in
terest in these aspects of life is
shown by the youth of Russia, the
Scandinavian countries, and Eng
land.
"The UN educational, scientific,
and cultural organization may
eventually provide the much
needed rehabilitation program,"
speculated Dr, Champlin, "but un
til Russia joins this group, it can
not cover all of Europe."
