PAGE TWO Meet Your Candidates Students like nothing better than to gripe about various things that go wrong or that they don't like. They can be heard singularly or collectively talking about everything from the lack of parking facilities on campus to the seating arrangements at football games. It's just like somebody once said about the weather, ".Everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it." - Penn State was established for the education of young men and women—its principal function is to care for their needs. Through the foresight of some of the more able ad ministrators of Penn State in past years, students have been given the privilege of governing themselves. Tonight the student body will be given the opportunity to meet all the candidates who will participate in the All College election April 20 and 21. Here is a chance to see and hear the men who will govern you and spend your class dues. If you want to vote intelli gently and not through the promises of the party machine, come to the TUB and meet the candidates. Get to know them so that you can vote for the best men—for the individual rather than the party. The Last Chance A large majority of the students and faculty members recently voted against racial discrimination and to support the program of the Committee on Racial Equality. Now that CORE is seeking active support in the form of investments in a non-discriminatory shop, it seems as if much of the talk was just talk. Ticket sales are not up to expectations. Considering that the purchase of a CORE ticket is not a contribution but an investment in four haircuts, the situation is appalling. The final report on ticket sales will be made Wednesday night. According to the success of that report will indicate to the local barbers the strength behind CORE's program. It's the last chance!—B.l.F. Save the Peace Dr. Alfred Pundt Tuesday night established the hypothe sis that the Soviet Union is not necessarily bent on aggran dizement or conquest in the international field. Rather, he said, the manifestations of USSR extra-territorial meddlings are attempts to construct a cordon of sympathetic states around its borders in order to insure its own national securi ty—as, Dr. Pundt said, we are also doing by our similar extra territorial meddling. By establishing this hypothesis at the Save the Peace Rally, Dr. Pundt denied the attribute of dynamic expansion which many people claim is not only inherent in the com munistic philosophy, but which is a cardinal principle of Soviet long range foreign policy. This then presents us with two antithetical hypotheses 1. Russia is inherently a dynamically aggrandizing state Or 2. She is not. There are certain groups who accept the first hypothesis and advocate a certain line of action. This group now con ducts our foreign policy. Those who accept the second hypothesis are out of the government and are pleading for a more conciliatory and "let's try to get together with the Russians" policy. We are now manifestly following hypothesis number one; that is, Russia is an aggrandizing nation and we must stop her by force if necessary. This is .obviously leading us to no peace. Perhaps it would be wise to try Dr. Pundt's alternative hypothesis for a while and attempt through the United Na tions or bilaterally, if necessary, to call a halt to this supreme asininity and wickedness. But some will say—We have tried a peaceful policy and it. has failed. This argument, however, is questionable. The subtilities of behind the scenes of international diplo macy, while sometimes necessary, are many times insidious, devious, and awfully repulsive, What may be presented to us on the surface "as a righteous United States stand perhaps represents actually nothing more than a flowing oil well or a fat trade agreement. It may be wise to make one last sincere attempt at mutual concession. Should we fail we will have at least the satis faction of having tried, and we shall have purged ourselves of possible future charges of guilt for and concurrence in international disaster. We would lose nothing by this attempt. We still have the atomic bomb along with its sickeningly potent co-develop ments, a powerful air force, navy, and army. Should we fail in peaceful settlement we can flex our militaristic muscles and play again the old game of power .hell bent for destruc tion—politics.—Peter Warker. • Fifty textbooks published by the Student Mimeographing Cooperative in Budapest on mimeograph machines furnished by the World Student Service Fund have forced down the price of all hooks in the Budapest book market considerably.

Miss Baker was only at the University of Arizona for three months—hardly time enough to acquire a drawl. The new supervisor of campus dining commons hails from the state of lowa, has no drawl, but still rates high with the Pollock Circle men. • The selection of Miss Penn State of 1948 came as no surprise to those who heard Froth editor Stober jokingly remark as he passed a certain ChiO last July, "There goes next year's Miss Penn State " Letters to The Editor's Mall Call should be limited to 150 wards so that all contributors may be given space.

A 'Radical' Speaks TO THE EDITOR: Obviously Mr. S. F. Albert is about the most misinformed person on campus. He does not realize that for two years the students in Pollock Circle have been trying. through their council, to imorove the con ditions of the dining commons. Every one of the constructive criticisms offered by the food committee has fallen on deaf ears and nothing has been done. The boycott was a last resort of the "radicals." A little thought would have shown that Miss Fall could be re- Placed by any competent dieti cian. Hundreds of letters have been given Miss Fall telling ex actly what is wrong with the food. As for the question of how many students to hire, the answer is obvious. Simply replace the outside labor with student hely. It was only when all else failed that the idea for a boycott grew. If the food in the dining com mons were to improve above the level of a poor G.I. mess hall, and we could get enough good bal anced meals, then the idea of a boycott would die. —William G. Merritt.

That Traffic Light TO THE EDITOR: After almost a year einee the last edtlorial re garding the necessity of erecting a traffic light on the corner of Colleen avenue and Allen street Edit Briefs Editor's Mail call —A. Plaanasl atmeared in Collegian, the Boro lies finally undertaken its instal lation. When first proposed. the traffic light was scoffed at by one influ ential College official on the basis that it would cause more conges tion than existed at present. This, it was agreed. would be true if no provisions were made for left hand turns from College avenue to Allen street. Even Boro officials foresaw this Possible congestion because they rejected the first Permit issued by the Pennsylvania Highway De partment for the light's erection Partly on the grounds that no pro vision was made for a special nal for left-hand turns from Col lege avenue to Allen street. Yet, today. the Boro is plan ning to erect an ordinary red yellow-green-signal traffic light and is making no provision for automobile turns. according to an important Boro official. It is too bad College. Bora. and state officials cannot work more closely together for the safety of the College's students and the merchants' customers. To be sure, this is not a blind Problem there are solutions: spe cial arrow for left-hand turns, special pedestrian light on which all traffic stops, making Allen street one way from College to Foster avenue. Other solutions could possibly be found by Boro and College en gineers. Let's hope a proper solu tion is found before a student be comes another traffic - accident statistic in Harrisburg's files. —D. L. J. Malickson. • State College officials asked for special mdestrian and turn equipment on the traffic light. but the request was refused .n , Ow Highway Department. lt took many years to convince the Department of the vital need of a 'refit light—now it will take many more rears to convince the Highway people that the signal now being installed sniff not asset the problem.
