PAGE TWO Remember the Ski Lodge! All of us are aware that the College is overcrowded and to relieve the congestion in the classroom, the tempo rary buildings were constructed. Jokes have been made as to just how "temporary" these buildings are, but now, in spite of their aide to the College, we are threatened with the loss of them—by fire. The cause of the fire in the Ski Lodge is undetermined but it is believed to have started from a carelessly placed cigarette butt, and the recent fire at the old Metropolitan Opera House (Met) in Philadelphia was definitely caused by a smoker. Janitors and caretakers constantly have had to remind students not to smoke in these buildings, not because the College administration has objected from a moral of health ful standpoint, but for purposes of preventing fires in these flammable buildings and what is more important, to safe guard students and instructors. Deans Hammond and Euwema have some of their staffs' offices in Temporary and they are not allowed to smoke in their offices, so certainly students can go through a class and wait till they leave the building before light- ing Dry weather will hit this area shortly and this adds to the danger by drying out the materials the buildings are constructed of. Should these buildings catch fire, they would go very quickly. Not long ago, some of the brush outside caught fire—a cigarette did it. There would be nothing else for the College to do but schedule night classes hi the regular stone buildings if Temporary burns down. —Arnold Gerton CAMPUS CALENDAR Friday.

"Make use of that EE degree. Get three 100 watt light bulbs.' Editor's Mai!call The Senior Gift TO THE EDITOR: The Cab inet should be severely criticized in its action on the Senior clads gift. They defeated by a vote of 7 to 5 a plan that would give vot ing post cards to every' senior. Only those seniors who have graduated will receive them. The rest will go to a mass meeting probably. If the senior gift is to be chosen fairly—that is by all the seniors—the post card plan is the only fair one. It is the rignt of every senior to vote on his gift. Mass meetings at Penn State are a proven failure, and you, who have been to such meetings, will confirm me in this respect. When only 50 people or less come to a meeting to decide what s class is to do. something is wrong. It is wrong to say that only those sen iors who are interested in class meetings should decide. The hours of such meetings are not always convenient for everyone. If to s senior class meeting only 100 people come out of a class of well over a thousand, could it be said that these 100. if there are 100. represent the Senior class? This is your money being spent. and it is your right to say how it should be spent. Let's do some thing about the action of the cab inet now. —William B. Reid. ISF Goes on Record TO THE EDITOR: The Inter church Student Fellowship, com posed of representatives of every Protestant student group on cam pus at its last meeting discussed the question of racial discrimina tion in the local bather shops. Apart from the attitude of the individual. it appeared impera tive to express the sentiments of the student church groups, as a whole. A poll was therefore con ducted among all the students at tending church groups. It was re corded that it was the unanimous opinion of the students in all but one group (where there were two abstaining), that they would have their haircut in any barber shop in town which did not discrimi nate. and that they were whole heartedly behind CORE'S pro gram. This is a very small thing, but it is an attempt to keep the issue alive. as you have done in such an excellent manner in your forthright editorials. The second part of the resolve is not rhetoric. the church student groups have some notable resources and ask the interested groups to call upon than. —Mahan Roy.
