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.

Widen de Rift ?
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.

The brutal beating that pre

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.

A Word of Thanks
TO THE EDITOR: Our hearty
congratulations to Mr. William
Goss for his restoration of the
laundry mailing privilege to the
men of the Nittany Dorms. His
plan for future handling is un
doubtedly fair to all who use the
mailing facilities.
By this prompt action we can
again feel that Mr. Gross is con
cerned with our welfare. We also
wish to thank Resident Counsel
or Gordon Van Wylen for his ef
forts on our behalf.
