Don't get hysterical fellows—maybe Truman is only
kidding.
The President's message to Congress yesterday has
had many repercussions on campus. On the Mall, in the
dorms and fraternities, and in the classrooms little groups
of people have been gathering to speculate on the date
of war.
Unfortunately President Truman didn't consider Penn
State students in his timing of his address to Congress.
Why did be have to make it right before Easter when
everyone is busy trying to study for bluebooks. It's down
right demoralizing.
To become less whimsical for a moment, a mild form
of war hysteria is at the moment sweeping the campus, and
the first to have noticed it are the professors who are pre
paring to administer bluebooks. They see a repetition of
the situation at the outbreak of Word War II when about
80 per cent of the male students developed a "don't give a
damn attitude." As a result of this attitude grades took a
general nosedive.
According to most authorities there is no immediate
danger of war. The War Department has stated that vet
erans will not be included in Universal Military Training.
As far as national politics are concerned, Marshall's
statement several days ago regarding the gravity of the
world situation could very well have been used to rusth his
European Recovery Program through Congress without
crippling amendments as proposed by some Congressmen.
As a result of President Truman's message yesterday the
House Republican leadership has agreed to push the ERP
bill which has already been approved by the Senate. An
other result of the message is that the Senate Armed Serv
ices Committee announced hearings on both Truman's draft
and UMT requests.
While the folks down in Washington continue to go on
with their maneuvering, let us not allow ourselves to be
c.arried away by emotion.

Editor's Mail call
t Came as a Surprise
TO THE EDITOR Elections
for clique officers were held by
the Lion Party last Sunday,
March 14, in 121 Sparks. It came
as a shock to some of us who are
interested in better government,
when Eugene Fulmer, temporary
chairman, stated that eighth se
mester students are denied the
right to vote in a party they are
so anxious to support.
At the initial call for members
of the party, everyone interested
in better and progressive student
government was asked to par
participate. We realize the elec
tion code of the All-College Elec
tions states that eighth semester
students are ineligible to vote—
which is understandable. How
ever, this should not concern the
cliques themselves.
As graduating students inter
ested. in the promulgating of a
greater Penn State Student Gov
ernment, and as graduating stu
dents interested enough to par
ticipate actively in the forma
tion of this new party, we feel
deeply hurt that we bave no
vote whatsoever in the policies
which we are so anxious to fur
ther

TO THE EDITOR: Every now
and then I see articles in the edi
torial section of the Daily Col
legian written by individuals and
organizations that would make
the gang at the Kremlin 11:11 1 1)Y.
These articles are followed by
accusations, denials, etc. Some of
these organizations have been
called fronts by Pegler and
Fisch of the Post-Gazette. That is
not my purpose—to call n ames. It
so much easier to deny than to
prove anything. Just remember
that if a man walks like a duck,
looks like a duck, and quacks
like a duck, he prol - ably is a
duck. The same applies to cer
tain parties—we have a flock of
ducks.
—Not a Duck.
Hypocrites?
TO THE EDITOR: Referring to
the editorial "It's No Longer
Local" which appeared in Fri
day's Collegian, I too, wish to
ask, 'When shall we cease being
hypocrits?"

No Termites
To THE EDrPOR: Low cost
housing does not mean cheap,
temporary, termite-ridden hous
ing. The low cost housing, which
I called for on the AVC program,
is low rental housing made avail
able to low income groups who
would ordinarily not obtain prop
er living quarters. The govern
ment will undertake to supply
these proper quarters when pri
vate builders can not. The gov
ernment is able to do this through
tne use of subsidies. through its
light of eminent domain in ob
taining land, because it does not
Pay property taxes, and because
there is no profit to be earned.
At the present time. builders
are not able to build for these low
inoorne groups because of high
costs of materials and labor as
well as other factors. For this
reason. AVC supports action by
the government as called fa.:
the Taft-Ellender-Wagner EU to
supply such housing.
—Robert Kagan.
Councils Not Responsible
TO THE EDITOR: Because of
the coming political campaigns,
we feel that a statement be made
clarifying the position of the Pol
lock Circle and Nittany Dormi
tory Council regarding politics.
These councils are governing
bodies of their respective units
and are completely detached
from any political groups. Any
political carnmitments by mem
bers of these councils are made
by these members as individuals.

Pres., Nittany Dorm. Council.
