PAGE TWO Lost One Policy! Just about a year a go, Penn State refused to play the University of Miami in the Orange Bowl in a regularly scheduled football game. The reason, of course, was racial discrimination in the Soyith. Southern football players wouldn't play against the Nittany Lions' two Negro players and the Higgins men wouldn't make the trip without them. Now. with Cotton Bowl arrangements com pleted and the Lions (with their Negro players) set for an invasion of the South. the story is somewhat different. In a way, that is as it should be. Had any other ~vhool but Southern Methodist been host in the Cotton Bowl, it is doubtful that the Lions would have received the invitation. SMU was also the flyst Southern team to come north to play teams with Negro players. The MlAs tangs should be commended for throwing over those age-old ties and taking o n a liberal aspect. They have made an important and precedent-set ting decision. But all is not so complacent within the Nittany Lions' own confines.

This, at any rate, was the excuse given when Leo klouck's boxing team was denied permission to par ticipate in the Sugar Bowl Sports Tournament, Dec. 29 of this year. Although there are no Negroes on the team, the Board held that it was "unable to accept due to the present situation." The Sugar Bowl invitation contained a phrase saying that it was understood that there would be no Negroes on the Lion boxing team. Bowl officials had contacted Houck before extending the official bid. The Tournament would have been equal to the Rose. Bowl game in the eyes of Leo Houck and the boxing team. It would also have been the highest honor that Penn State's "Dean of Boxing Coaches" or the boxing team had ever received. But the pol icy was more important, the Board decided. Still adhering to this policy. the same board denied Jerry !Carver, Lion national track cham pion, permission to run in the same Sugar Bowl Carnival. This was worked out finally and !Carver was given the go-ahead through an over-looked phrase In the Student Rules and Regulation s that allows individual students to appear In commer cial enterprisei with College permission. So while the Cotton Bowl bid acceptance is a step in the right direction in the racial question, it is a move that has lett the College's athletic policv in doubt. Editor's Mail call Everyone's Help is Needed TO THE EDITOR: One of the avowed pur poses of Who's Who in the News is to give de served recognition to students who have devoted a large portion of their time to serving the Col lege. The majority of the students whose names will be included in the book, however, have had only the edge of the spotlight rest on them. This is a situation that, of necessity, has to exist. The lion's share of publicity is almost automatically drawn to a few men Who serve in a few capacities. Yet we feel that the efforts of the others, the reserves so to speak, should not go unrecog nized. Lou Bell said it in an editorial about the football reserve twenty years ago when he com pared the importance of the reserve to the amount of publicity they receive. Mr. Bell wrote, and it was reprinted in the Dec. 4 Collegian. "Yet it is usually only a word or two eagerly devoured by the famished reserve whose pub licity nourishment is sadly lacking." One of our most important functions is to. at least, give them that word or two. In order to continue the publication of Who's Who in the News, however, the assistance of all those whose names will be included in the book is absolutely essential. —David J. Adelman. —Joseph F.

Protests Co-op Decision TO THE .EDlaukt: 1 think the trustees of this institution mace a grave mistake in rejecting the proposed campus co-op, which ninety-three percent of the students favored. I think it would be an excellent idea if the names and addreues of the trustees could be published for the information of the students. If they are really interested in having a co-op, they should then write their protests to the respective trustees, i n the hope that they might re-consider the mistake they have made. This school needs a co-op very badly. We need something on this campus in or'er t o save the stu lents frcm continvally being over-charged by the *.own merchants, who continually take advantage f us. —Sherman 1).

Allen and Dr. Isadore Rudnick, have come up with sound that can be "seen but not heard." The sound. called ultrasonic. is too high pitched for the human ear to hear but it has sufficient energy to start a fire, kill a mouse, or keen as many as 20 glass marbles suspended in mid-air. This super-sound is generated in a small lantern-shaped siren developed by Mr. Allen and Mr. Rudnick, working under Dr. Schilling. The project wait started during the war under a contract with the Signal Corps of the War Department. The siren works somewhat like this. Compressed air in a small chamber escapes through 100 small cone-shaped holes equally spaced around a six-inch circle. As air escapes, a wheel spins at 18.000 r.v.m. The sound has a Pitch of 30.000 cycles, which is too high for the human ear to detect. The sound will burn a wad of News Briefs Naval Reserve The Surface Unit of the Naval Reserve will meet in the Armory at 8 o'clock tomorrow night.
