The oldtimers say that there has always been
some friction between the student body and the
town merchants. Perhaps, after all these years of
“feuding,” the time has come for both groups to
realize that nothing ca n be gained from standing on
your own side of the fence and shouting names at
the other side. This approach affords some sem
blance of satisfaction, but does very little in the
way of settling the problems at hand.
Stale College now has a well organized Com
merce Club which is extremely active for a com
munity of its size. Most of the merchants In town
belong to the retail division of the club. Regular
meetings are held, and many of the Issues which
affect the students in their role of the buying
public are discussed.
On campus, the most representative group is All-
Oollege Cabinet. All of the big problems and many
of the smaller ones which confront undergraduates
are aired at the weekly meetings.
It would be a wise move if the all-college
president made arrangements with the Com
merce Club to exchange representatives at all
regular meetings of both groups. According to
Cofalnel Guy Mills, Commerce Club president, the
town group would be receptive to the exchan^i.
Both of these factions stand to benefit. Better
understanding is almost a certainty. Closer oo-

STATE COLLEGE
A Better Understanding
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
operation on the part of two of the primary groups
in this community will help to alleviate the friction
that prevails. A lack of understanding has been
apparent in many instances in the past; the pros
pects for the future are brighter.
This doa s not mean that closer relations with the
merchants would reduce the students' desire tor a
co-op t>r a student union . . . rather it would pave
the way for an amicable settlement of the smaller,
problems. Perhaps if enough of the smaller issues
were agreed upon, those of a larger magnitude
would seem less insurmountable or disappear al
together.
This meeting of minde will eventually lead to
the betterment of the college community . . .
which in turn meana a better Penn State.—LGF

$66-453.59 for What?
TO THE EDITOR: Sixty-six thousand, four hun
dred fifty-three dollars, fifty-nine cents were added
to the treasury of the Athletic Association this year
which, if Penn State hadn’t had an exceptional
football team, would neveT have been collected. Did
it cost so much to take our football squad (and
those other people who just had to go at school’s
expense) that, forgetting about the Blue Bandt for
the present, only one ‘cheerleader and NO “Lion”
could be sent?
Remembering the estimated cost of sending
over eighty musicians and instruments to the New
Year's Day Clessic at Dallas as being twelve thou
sand dollars, I wonder if the expenses actually
incurred could possibly have been any more than
three times that amount? If legitimate expenses
did not exceed that amount, there is still a hand
some sum to be used for the benefit of the school.
I n the very first issue of the Collegian since
vacation someone was crying about not being able
to get enough money for a new “lion" suit. It
seems to me that five hundred dollars would be a
small amount deducted from the profit of the Bowl
game.
Glass backboards In Rec Mall would give many,
more basketball fans an opportunity lo see an ‘
entire game of basketball. These could also, I
believe, he obtained at a reasonable price. My
two suggestions are just a few of undoubtedly
many more.
If the Athletic Association can’t see its way clear
to obtain two such small items, because the ex
penses of the Dallas tr'o were too high, I (and I’m
sure there are many others) should like to see an
itemized list of the trip expenses published If
there are other reasons why the money should not
be used in such a way, I would like to know just
What this Cotton Bowl profit will be used for..
