The Solution
A political football, that has been kicked back and
forth by both campus political parties, is the Pollock Circle
vote on Cabinet issue.
In the Fall of 1946, the Nittany-Independent party
picked up the then new issue and carried it into the election.
Later the plan was not found to be feasible by All-College
Cabinet.
Last spring, the Circle politicos shopped around and
found the embryonic State party only too glad to pick up
the issue. A well-oiled machine was formed in the tempor
ary living units and swept the new party into power. Only
one State man lost in the election.
This fall, a special sophomofe election was held and the
Circle-backed State party again won hands down. Still the
Pollock politicians were without a vote on Cabinet.
Now, another All-College election is in the planning
staw. and the State party finds the Circle Cabinet vote issue
a hot potato. They need the Pollock Circle and Nittany
Dorm vote in this coming election.
Collegian has always believed that there was no need
for any living unit group to have a special vote on Cabinet.
Each man and woman on campus has at least three repre
sentatives on the student governing board. However, the
groups that represent the independent men and women
have been very weak and represent only a small percentage
of the non-affiliated students.
The proposed Association of Independent Men and
Women as suggested by the All-College Constitution com
mittee should give those students a voice equal to their
Greek-letter friends.
At the same time, Pollock Circle will have its share of
representation on Cabinet. This should appease the Splin
terville politicos if they are as interested in the independent
students as a whole and not in just securing more power for
themselves.—BlF

Phineas T. Glockenspiel, the Daily Collegian's eminent feline
social authority, was winding the clock when we dropped in on him
Testerday.
"Don't bother to ask," he growled, "I'm setting the clock back
.. few hundred years. I just found out that you can't dance on Sun
day in Pennsylvania. I went up to the TUB with my favorite kitten
ounday evening and the juke box
was closed down. 'Blue Laws
prohibit dancing on Sunday' the
.ign said. It's a State law."
"Didn't you know that before,
P.T.?" we asked.
"How could I?" he answered.
"Never had a place in State Col
lege to dance before the TUB
opened. Quite a few other people
were surprised, too! George Don
ovan told me Sunday night he's
even afraid to play classical
music over the public address
system."
"Yes," we said, sitting down on
the bed. Sunday in State College
is quite an experience. "Ever lis
ten to WMAJ on Sunday?"
"Sure," replied Glocky. "All
day long—no popular music, but
bloody murder every half hour.
It seems murder is no crime, but
dancing is. But getting back to
the TUB, it might be just the

weekend nightclub that was in
the Sandwich Shop before the
war. I asked George about it but
he thought the students would
prefer to keep the TUB just as it
is with no frills such as enter

"What's new here in the Cir

"Well, other than my bed fel

The Lily Whites
TO THE EDITOR: In December
of 1947. the local chapter of Atpha
Epsilon Pi came into being on
this campus. At this time, :t is
necessary to review the ideals in
which this group was conceived, so
as to illustrate the dangers in
herent in blanket statements such
as those made in last Friday's
COLLEGIAN editorial.
Briefly stated, the policy of this
fraternity is that no subordination
of pledge to brother is recognized.
Those men who appreciate "man
to man" relationships are those
most welcomed in our group. This
singularity of character is further
corroborated by the fact that this
chapter draws its strength rrom

among those individuals. who. for
reasons of principle, would ordi
narily remain independents.
That there are other fraternal
groups on campus which share
these views. there is no question,
inasmuch as measures have al
ready been taken to end juvenile
Practices heretofore associated
with the pledge period.
Therefore we cannot but pro
test the generalized conclusions
drawn by the COLLEGIAN which
imply an "off the record" evasion,
by all Penn State social fraterni
ties. of the spirit of the I.F.C.
Code condemning onerous pledge
training.

'Open-eyed' Policy
TO THE EDITOR: The recent
editorials appearing in the Daily
Collegian indicate an "open
eyed" policy on the part of your
paper dealing with vital issues
that confront our Christ ian
Church and American Democra
cy. You are to be commended on
the straight forward statements
which you have made, particu
larly in the editorials entitled
"In Our Own Backyard" and "It
Must Be Now," I trust your ef
forts on behalf of the cause of
racial discrimination shall con
tinue to be tempered by sound
judgment which wins the respect
of thinking men and women.
