PAGE TWO Meow-w-w That the irresponsible ways of a cat should prove of leading editorial interest to the Centre Daily Times, the local town newspaper, is a fact our editorial board noted with interest. To quote the statement which was the basis for the CDT editorial which criticized the maturity of students. we reprint from the February 26 "Glockenspiel" column the concluding statement which was in answer to the question, "What's new here in the Circle?" "Well, other than my bed falling through the floor the other night, everything is rosy," said Glockenspiel, the cat, "Things are looking up in State College these days—even the prices. Veterans' subsistence checks were raised $lO a month, you know !" Commenting in his nine-inch editorial headed "More Mature," CDT editor Jerome Weinstein cites this statement as evidence that the Penn State students' reaction to the question of prices in State College is adolescent and incon sistent. In his leading statement Weinstein says, "Another slap—this time indirect—at State College merchants was taken in a recent Collegian editorial." Mr. Weinstein is free to peruse this year's Collegian files (as he should have done before making his statement) where he will find no slaps, direct or indirect, at State Col lege merchants by the Collegian. He will find an editorial which pleads for better relations between the students and townspeople. And at the same time that the Centre Daily Times was running banner headlines and stories based on destructive criticism of the dissension following the Penn State Cotton Bowl game, the Collegian, published by undergraduates, was praised by James F. Milholland, acting president of the College, for its "mature stand" on the issue. Considering the statement in question and past Col legian stories and editorials, we find no indication of the immaiturity and adolescent reactions which the CDT editor hastily assigned to the Collegian after seeing the column. Perhaps a more "mature" reading on editor Weinstein's part would lead to more mature editorial concluSions backed by specific facts.

TO THE EDITOR: Cabinet is to be severely criticized for its opposition to the policy adopted by CORE, which has chosen the true American institution of using public opinion to gain an end. In this day of pressure and pawer Politics. public opinion unfortu nately has taken a back seat. But in many instances, public opinion has shown its ability to attain an aim with a very minimum of ill will and also has proved to bring the most enduring results. The policy proposed by Cabinet would only tend to widen the rift between "town and gown.' Per haps, this is what the politicos de sire. Before they claim to repre sent student opinion, I wish they would find out what the students actually think. Not until this is clone will politics become better at Penn State. I emphatically cast my vote with CORE in true American style for a true American ideal. —Richard M. Cressman. Jim Crow Justice TO THE EDITOR: Yesterday would have meant death to a Negro mother and two of her twelve had it not been for the negligence of a court stenogra pher.

I've just been although charged with the self defense slaying of a white farm er, was convicted of first degree murder by an all-white jury. The brutal beating that pre cipitated the murder was over looked by Georgia's Jim Crow justice, which after a one-day trial, condemned the three to electrocution. When Mrs. Ingram was arrest ed her seven young children were left without care. Friends could do little because of their own poverty. Funds are needed not only to sustain the seven innocent chil dren but also to help Mrs. Ingrain fight the black code. Now that a hearing for a new trial has been granted, money is of vital im portance. This is not an isolated case, each victory over Jim Crow is a stepping stone to a freer America. —YPCA, "Work.

STAFF THIS ISSUE Managing Editor Lois Bloomquist Assistant Dot Hunaberger News Editor Pauline Moss Assistant Shirley Taper Copy Editor John Hall Assistant Sy Barash turned out to hear Dr. King was bad enough but to add insult to injury two "hot-shot" Penn State Women students complacently sat on the balcony casually smok ing their cherished cigarettes. Mr. King is not just another phony, but he is an intelligent man and I am sure the impres sion that he got of Penn State students is not to our liking. It is too bad when the two "Hot-Shots" out of a student body of 8,000, less than one half of one-tenth of one per cent do not have the intel ligence to conduct themselves in a manner that would not cause an outstanding religious leader to remember Penn State for these two "Hot-§hots" smoking "weeds" at a religious service. My only hope is that the ef forts of the 109 choir members, including Mrs. Taylor and Mr. Ciega, will help to overshadow the downright stupidity of these two so-called intelligent women. —James Hess.
