PAGE TWO They Need Your Help Clique meetings of both the Lion and the State parties will be held tomorrow to lay more groundwork for the com ing campus political campaigns. Both parties have for their ultimate goal the better ment of student government at Penn State. Both parties are endeavoring to choose the best possible candidates for class and All-College officers . Many students disregard nominations and elections of student officers simply because they do not know the power that is placed in these offices. But how many stu dents would disregard the spending of almost $33,000 of their money every year? In the year from July 1946 to June 1947 the interclass budget system spent $32,597.22 of student money for the various expenses detailed to student government. Would you be willing to allow incompetent men to be placed in a position where they could decide on how .to spend almost $33,000 of your money next year? During the past week The Daily Collegian has carried two editorials aimed at mistakes made by both political parties. Collegian has presented these facts because of its position as an independent community newspaper whose duty it is to remain impartial. Traditionally and by pro tection of the law it has been not only the right but the duty of newspapers to strive for better government even through criticism of that government. The editorials were not written to weaken the campus parties, but to point out the faults in the parties so that the members of the cliques can correct them and thus actu ally strengthen their parties. The leadership of both parties is made up of sincere men but not infallible men who are striving to improve student government at Penn State. Neither party can be truly democartic, however, if the great bulk of students stays away from clique meetings, thus allowing small pres -ure groups to put their own men up for office. Steering committees will welcome suggestions for im , roving their parties as well as names of good people to consider as candidates for office. Boiler Factory Noise Radio listeners to the Eastern Intercollegiate Boxing ournament should have learned something about sports ,iansthip and good manners from the partisan fans of the , ost team, the University of Virginia. Complying strictly to the EIBA rule barring applause ,wring the actual fighting, a church-like hush descended ipon the throng of 4500 at the sound of the bell. The sus ained and vigorous roar between rounds was evidence of ileir keen interest in the bouts. The Rec Hall boiler factory, by contrast, shows Penn Staters, who sometimes show evidences of good sportsman ,hip, at their worst. We commend the Cavaliers as true champions, spectators as well as boxers. We can emulate the former, if not always the latter. —Lewis Stone • A co-op store project is underway at the University of Mich .gcsin with many organizations behind it. An alumni association has been formed. Recently the Inter-Co-op Council came out publicly ?gainst the racial discrimination in town barbershops in Ann Arbor. • The Campus Co-op Committee at the University of Sas katchewan in Canada has begun six co-op projects with faculty and government assistance.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Banyai Not Fair? TO THE EDITOR: Here are several comments on Ed Banyai, Senior Class president. Is he playing fair with the people who elected him and with the re sponsibilities of his office? 1. Why does he send unquali fied alternates to cabinet meetings instead of attending himself? 2. Why are class meetings not announced until the day of the meeting, thus insuring very poor attendance? Is it because a full house would defeat some of his "whims" and "notions?" 3. When did the class vote on the $5OO that is to be used to buy post cards so the Class of '4B can vote en masse for the trustees? Not over 15 per cent of the grad uating class will have an active interest in this college when they leave. Then why this "trustee fund"? 4.. In general, Mr. Banyai should wise up and let the class decide on issues. So, Mr. Banyai, let us know when things are going to happen and we'll be there to see that you don't go too far with your thoughts. ROA For UMT TO THE EDITOR: The mem bers of the Penn State Chapter of the Reserve Officers Association have read with grave concern those opinions expressed in the Daily Collegian which have op posed Universal Military T:a.in ing without suggesting the exist ence of another plan which will enable our democracy to main tain itself. The Compton Report lists the following as necessary for a com plete program of national secur ity: 1) a strong, united, healthy, and informed nation; 2) a coordi nated intelligence service: 3) sci entific research and development; 4) industrial mobilization: 5) a striking air force; 6) an organized and integrated Regular Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps plus an adequate Mercri:.nt Marine: 7) unification of the armed forces; 8) universal mili tary training. We are convinced that UNIT is indispensable to the building :it a military force that can a bsolutely defend the nation.

Since conflicts today—and in the visible future —are being resolved by force alone, we cannot afford to pursue the "too little and too late" poli cies of 1 , 936 to 1941.

Crowell. President American Ideals TO THE EDITOR: Last night at a bull session, many of us ex pressed the belief that we would be back in uniform within a year. This morning I read in the COL LEGIAN an editorial by Peter Warker entitled "UMT Out dated." This sounds good to the ear. However, high sounding phrases that appeal to our higher instincts always seem to carry the essence of truth. Should we follow the dictates of our heart rather than our mind? The truth is more difficult to take. We have been repeatedly warned that a war fought today will be a repetition of the last. Blood and iron and sweat will win it. Too many think in terms of guided missies, atomic dust, and bacteriological warfare. In fantry is' still the Queen of Bat tles and will remain so for some time. Mr. Warker speaks of Ameri can ideals. Is it the American heritage that most congressmen favor UMT and yet fear to raise the question because this is an election year? The Romans loved art, music, and the other intel lectual values, but they were ov errun by barbarians when they failed to protect themselves. Is it better to be a live nation with some ideals temporarily in stor age, or a slave nation with high morals? —Name Withhold.
