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

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.
