PAGE TWO Ifs No Longer Local The question of racial discrimination in the barber shops in State College has been purely a local problem— that is up until last Friday. From the deep South comes the veiled charge of hypoc risy directed at Penn State. In an editorial in The Battalion, student newspaper of Texas A&M, the editors describe racial discrimination and CORE's program at Penn State. In the editorial entitled "Jim Crow Up North Too . . ~" it, is pointed out that Texas is still experiencing quiet sat isfaction over the outcome of the SMU-Penn State foot ball game, not entirely because SMU was a moral victor but for the smoothness which Penn State players, both white and colored, were treated during their stay in Dallas. It further stated that the first invasion of the South by a football team with Negro players became nothing more' than one sportsmanlike football team entertaining anoth er. Then the editorial goes on to state that Jim Crowism has not been stamped out there (Penn State) either. In de scribing the barber shop issue the editorial ends with, "All this, not in the Deep South, but far in the North! Dis crimination is not a problem unique to the South, but shows itself wherever there are minority groups." Untlortunately we can't refute our Southern friends' charges. Pt is true that at the same time Penn State is permitting itself to be praised nationally for its "demo cratic" stand against prejudice, racial discrimination is allowed to flourish across the street. When shall we cease being hypocrites? Our Insane Contemporaries Froth, whose jokes are as old as tradition, has at last turned honest, according to recent ads in the Daily Colleg ian classified section. In the next issue, Froth openly ad mits the stealing of jokes and cartoons from humor magazines. Of course, anybody who has ever been near the Froth office (located in the Daily Collegian washroom) knows that the only equipment ever needed to put out an issue are several pair of weal-oiled shears, a paste pot, and an amply supplied exchange file. The genial jester, Who bears a striking resemblance to editor Stober in the posters about town, in a feeble attempt ),t original humor, filled up part of his unsold advertising space with the following blurb: "Today—more people see each issue of Froth than any otter Penn State publication in History." When confronted with the above misstatement, Editor ;'tober before witnesses stated, "If you want facts (in - f'roth) go somewhere else. To quote the famous Pat McCarthy, "This business of tumor is a serious one. When it is in the hands of sudh ;Tess incompetents as above mentioned, it becomes a tragic ravesty such as is a blatant announcement by a group hat is irretrievably insane."

LO-HEELERS Against UMT Again TO THE EDITOR: One should not expect professional militarists to denounce conscription !which they terns "universal miluary training"). Professional soldiers will advocate conscription. ROTC. and huge armaments because it is their interest to do so. They have a vested interest in war and the war system, and would be divested of ail their authority and their very lobs if war were to be recognized as a•n obsolete method of settling differences. A group of prominent educa tors. including Arthur E. Morgan and Albert Einstein, recently is sued a well-documented report which tells of their concern about the militarization of America. Every American should read this report. It shows rather clearly that conscription is lust one of the many devices that are being used by militarists to impose the military way of life on our coun tiy—a way of life based on train ing for killing and blind o.)e:ii ence which is the direct antithe- FOR FOOD AND SERVICE THAT YOU'LL LIKE - Many eAtt • SANDWICHES AND SNACKS "TO GO" • SEALTEST ICE CREAM • PARTY NEEDS Across from Atherton Hall PHONE 3947 PRIDAY, MARCH It 1948 NSA Travel- l'i Continued from page one Europe may cover much ground on bicycle, or by train and toot.

It is naive to suppose that a military education for every American youth Plus military infiltration into every area of political and social life will produce anything else.
