Here at Penn State, a democratic institution supported by all tax payers, students are denied hair cuts because of their race or color. It is only through an organiza tion embracing all of the centers of learning in the United States that we shall obtain the educa tion and support to abolish this violation of human rights.

'Heavy' Reader Takes Two Encyclopedias; Books Missed Eager students are numerous at Penn State, but few are so eager or so unscrupulous as to make / a raid on their college li brary for textbooks. One of those enterprising indi viduals walked away with the first volumes of the Brittanica and Americanna encyclopedias. The books were taken from the shelves of the reference room of the central library shortly be fore the Christmas holidays. Mr. Willard P. Lewis, librarian, desires the culprit to return the books, or just have the books re placed. “The work of many students has been handicapped, and the prompt return of these volumes is urgently requested,” he said today.

These plans will be presented at the next session of the Japanese Diet. This system would coordinate ed ucation ait eight Japanese re gional universities, with research studies carried to the farmer through an extension service. Student Wins Car In National Contest Albert Sakovich, journalism major from Scranton, had the thrill of a lifetime last night when he was presented with a 1948 Frazer sedan by Wendell Noble, news commentator, over 460 Mutual Stations, at 7:30 p.m. “Wait until my folks hear this!” was his comment when he was notified that he is the winner of the nation-wide Kaiser-Frazer automobile contest. It is the first time in his life that this Pollock Circle resident has ever won any thing. He said he didn’t expect to win because he took only half an hour to write and revise his entry, which told of the features of the Kaiser and Frazer cars. His new Frazer was given to him after the program by Ray McLaughlin, the local dealer in the presence of Tom Lannen, All- College President: A. B. Cour son, president of Penn Central Motors, and Joseph McCourt, vice-president of the above company. Arabs Unco-ordinated, Says N.Y.

Notice of intention to terminate the agreement must be submitted in writing to the office of the Dean of Men on 0 r before January 21. Refund Returned A student who elects to termi nate his agreement will receive a refund of the $25 room reserva tion deposit, providing his charges for the semester have been paid in full. Mr. Loman stated that students desiring to remain in the dormi tories need not file a n otice of their intention. “It is hardly possible ti accom modate those students ask for adjustments in charges be cause of special conditions, such as frequent absence from the campus or changes in the college calendar. T ( , alleviate the unnec essary handling of finances, stu dents are assessed on a semester basis,’’ said Mr. Loman.
