PAGE TWO A Step Backward The fight to eliminate discrimination in the barber shops of State College has been seriously injureu by All- College Cabinet. By a vote of 13 to 8 Cabinet decided to instruct its CORE representative to oppose any short-range program which asks patrons to voluntarily not get their hair cut at shops that discriminate against other Americans. The Committee on Racial Equality program to end Jim Crowism will be impaired by Cabinet's action. For over a year this committee has been carrying on a plan of educa tion and publicity in an effort to convince the barbers that public sentiment was in favor of 'eliminating discrimination. Last year a petition which was signed by 2000 students, faculty, and townspeople definitely proved that at least a large segment of the local population was willing to patron ize shops that cut the hair of all races. Now the barbers will get the impression that by Cabi 'let's action hhe student leaders, and consequently the stu lents themselves are apathetic towards the ending of dis ,!rimination in their shops. Instead, it seems, the students are willing to open a shop to accommodate the Negroes and et it go at that. The Daily 0511egian policy has been that an active boy .ott must not be resorted to until every other method has oeen tried. While its actual meaning is otherw'se, boycott connotes the use of picket lines, violence, etc. Actually, what is needed to make the barber shops "free" is to show the barbers that public opinion is agn'nst them as long as they , ntinue to discriminate. The way which was proposed and defeated at the Cab ..et meeting was a policy of a voluntary withholding of ,usiness by enough people to prove that it would be eco ornically feasible for barbers not to discriMinate. It was suggested at Cab net that this was revolution y radical. If this is so, then the leading religious fig es. the most prom:nent townspeople, and some of Penn ate's ablest rrofessors are also "revolutionary and The s•oltition at this time seems to be a combination of re ,, 's.tance srd the onening of a non-';Pi-riminat- I _.l . chr l epp and .here *DOSTERS, DRONES AND STAMENS Seems we can't get away from this thing, for the current rage of c L on-fictional bock market is the "Kinsey Report" or Dr. Wilfred Kinsey's "Sexual Eehavior in the Human Male."

But, at Louisiana S ate Univer sity, another calamity has befalle n them. College authorities banned the humor magazine "Pell Mc11" for devoting and dedicating its current issue to "Stormy," a New Orleans stripteaser. It doesn't happen here in the Nittany vana—we're too far from the puts,night ; perhaps. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN HERE No matter how riled up the various student groups are about their various causes and crusades, Penn State very seldom is the scene of violence or physical co ercion which characterizes cam pus communities of lesser stabil ity. Most 01 the Penn State battles are waged through th e editorial pages of the Daily Collegian, or over c4mference tables or in Cor ner Room booths. With Pt. no State student think_ jug rapidly approaching a more or les. head-on clash, it is probable that the st o rm will subside after a time without any overt sbrong arm tactics. Not so at some other institu tions. Just the other day, six Wal- Lace supporters were angrily es corted to the boundaries of the I )taiuecne University property by hand of Duke students.

Laundry Case Blues TO THE EDlToH—Yesterday the inen in Nittany Dorms were con fronted with a notice on the mail room door to the effect that laundry cases would no longer be accepted for mailing. This step, Lhe notice stated, was necessitat ed due to a rumor that excessive mailing fees were being charged. Such a measure seems unfair to the majority of the innocent fel lows who will now have to make a special trip to the main post office. Why are "honest" desk clerks so concerned with such a rumor? ihe time to stop such foolishness is now. We want action at the next week's N ittany Council meeting. A-pie Fee Payment £0 liar, I would ap preciate it if you would publish Lhis letter in the Collegian. Dear Mr. Bursar: Why do ..,,res of students have to pay a .) penalty for the late payment at fees when many of them had _iitimate reasons for not being able to get to Rec Hall on Tues day? Many students had eight hours classes on Tuesday, and though some College authorities don't think so, students eat lunch. Other students went up to Rec Hall and found the line they were supposed to be in one-half the length of the building. Other lines in front of the windows contained only one or two stu dents. Some students had to wait over 35 minutes to pay their fees; but others could not wait this long due to scheduled class periods. Why this gross inefficien cy in the process of paying fees? Many of us hope that before a new "payment of fees" day rolls around a new method of payment will be inaugurated. More on Fees Penalty TO THE EDITOR: Having duti fully paid a $5 penalty fc,r one day late payment of foes, I would like to ask the Office of the Bur sar just how much money has been collected on this specifi:• penalty alone. I am certain that most students will agree that $5 is way out of season, based on a total fee of around $lOO. That a penalty is necessary cannot be denied; but this amount is ex cessive. In this present day in flation spiral, every little penalty helps! • When contacted yesterday, Bursar Clark had no comment "for publicatton." Editor's Mailcall —Paul M. Neff. —W.

Some time ago. Cabinet voted to support CORE's program to end racial discrimination. Meek and Gearhart. who were supported by Edward Banyai and others, emphasized that the new shop would only evade the issue. They said that the objectives of CORE. securing treatment f Negroes equal to that furnished others, could best be achieved by a program of patron resistance. Cabient defeated the motion in structing its CORE delegate to support patronage suspension. 13 to 8. Those voting negatively were Willard F. Agnew. Ted Allen. RaY Brooks, John Fast, Eugene Ful mer, Adelaide Finkelston, Laura Johnston, Jack Keller. Robert Koser, Suzanne Romig. Frank Ti dona and Jacqueline Zivic. Eight who supported the "buyer resistance" program were Edward Banyai, George Bearer, Philip Cease. Jean Haxton. James Lotz, Allan Ostar. Lee Ann Wagner and Selma Zasofsky. Speakers against the measure adopted the alternate proposal. estaiblishing a special shop. but did not solve the problem of financing it. Agnew Decries Revolution Agnew. speaking against sus pension of patronage, termed such an action "revolutionary." He said that in his opinion the Question should be .worked out in an "evolutionary" way. Thomas T. Lannen. All-College president, said that students would not support any suspension of patronage. Students often for get their ideals and thus, al though they might support the Program in principle, they would forget their ideals when it came time to do something, he con tinued. After the adoption of the weak er measure. Fulmer introduced a motion to give CORE $25 on the condition that they stick to the long range program. The motion was defeated after Fulmer re fused to amend the motion by removing the condition. A motion to give CORE $25 without strings was tabled at the request of Ti d ona. Johnston Takes Junior Pot Laura Johnston. new junior class president, was sworn in at th e beginning of the meeting. She appointed Bernard P. Miller as class secretary-treasurer to finisn ner term of office. The Cabinet UNESCO Fellow ship committee reported that a fellowship to a European or Latin- American student as recommended by UNESCO would cost $2500 a year. The College would pay the Yellow's tuition, students, his trav eling expenses. and townsueoPle his living expenses. David Barron, Marilyn Hoka and William Sipple were ao- Pointed to the elections commit tee. Agnew brought up a plan fur "Dress-Up Day." The plan was suggested l'y a faculty committee so that faculty who write recom mendations for students could see what those students look like in business dress.
