Political Apathy
Often we are asked why the Students for Wallace
group on campus receives publicity in Collegian while there
is no mention of Republican and Democratic youth groups.
The answer to that question is simple—there are none.
Other colleges have student groups advocating Mac-
Arthur, Taft, Stassen, Dewey and the other presidential
aspirants as well as the Wallace group. The institutions
concerned consider this movement a healthy one.
The door is open here at Penn State. Any political
minded group can now meet on campus according to a clari
fication by Dean Warnock of the Senate regulations. How
ever, a strong apathy seems to exist in the student body
when it comes to national politics. At the three-party forum
in Schwab auditorium, representatives of the major parties
spoke before only a handful of students and professors.
Both the Democratic and Republican national commit
tees have stated that they are eager to cooperate with in
terested students and committees, for the various candi
dates are anxious for an opening on campus.
Let's see a little organization for the other parties and
candidates or not sit back and snipe at those who are in
terested in national politics.
Surely Wallace is not the only candidate that has sup
porters on campus.—BlF

DOLLARS FOR TOLERANCE
During the next week, instead of TALKING about equality for Negroes in State College barber
shops, you can back your tolerance with a little cash. NO DONATION. The idea is merely to
make advance payments towards a few haircuts.
For $1 you buy a ticket. It's good for 25c credit on each of four haircuts in a non-discriminating
shop.
To be fair to your present barber, you ask to have your dollar offered him FIRST. All the dollars
like yours will be turned over to your barber if he accepts the non-discrimination agreement. If
he doesn't wish to accept, then your ticket will be good in a shop that accepts both the money
and the principle.
YOUR DOLLAR IS NOT A GIFT. It's haircut money. If your ticket is not redeemable in barber
service of high quality, it will be redeemed in cash.
But your dollars will give a barber solid evidence that in State College IT PAYS TO BE FRIENDLY.
Tickets at Student Union Desk, Old Main.
CORE representatives: Get tickets for sale at 304 Old Main.

A Challenge • • .
TO THE EDITOR: The influ
ence of the churches of State Col
lege has been shown in the action
taken to prevent the showing of
movies on Sunday. We feel that
this influence could and ought to
be exerted in bringing pressure
to bear on the barber shops with
regard to the problem of racial
discrimination.
The combined forces of the
Let's Prove What We Mean About Penn State Democracy
church groups and the student
body. which overwhelmingly 00-
poses this discrimination, repre
sent the majority voice of the peo
ple of State College. This group
could carry out an effective plan
by warning the barbers that if
discrimination continues, new
non-discriminatory shops will be
set up and patronage will be with
held from the existing ones.
This is a challenge to the
churches to take a stand and to
show that they are vitally con
cerned with their beliefs.
