®lte lattg VOL. 47—No. 7 TUESDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1948—STATE COLLEGE, PENNA, CORE Criticizes Town Barbers For Discrimination A downtown barber ghop was gharply criticized by officials of the Council on Racial Equality yesterday. The shop was charged with refusing a haircut to a “World War II combat veteran.” The charge was made in a paid advertisement appearing in the Collegian and the Centre Daily Times. The chairman of the CORE activity program to end discrimination against colored students added that this was not the first time that service has been denied in local barber ghops. CORE also called attention to the service record of the veteran, noting that he served with the Infantry in northern Italy. The plan is to “take the issue to the people in an effort to prove to the barbers that their business would not be affected by the op eration of democratic shops open to all students.” The advertisement does not name either the veteran or the barber shop. Council representa tives added, that the names would not be released immediately.

A paper-mache horse’s head and special tailed blanket were the costume for talented Players who drew laughs from spectators at the gymnastics meet.

Good seats still remained late yesterday for all three perform ances of the show. Tickets may be obtained at the Student Union Union desk. Colonel Hails UMT As Security Musi Col.
