PAGE TWO Art for the College An outstanding collection of art will wind up a week's showing in the Mineral Industries Art gallery tomorrow evening. The collection, now the property of the people of Penn „, lvania, is called the Gimbel Art collection, after its donor, iie Gimbel Company. The collection of 116 paintings represents the Common . :ealth in paint and canvas. Subjects of pictures range from .ancaster County farms to Pittsburgh steel mills. They range I'OM the photograph-like painting of the State house in [arrisburg to a semi-abstract visualization of the "hex” by filliam Gropper. Many of the artists are PennsylVanians, others have suc ceded in capturing the spirit of the state. The entire.collec lon represents a veritable treasure trove of 20th century .. 3 ennsylvania culture, that will grow increasingly valuable as time passes. After the Gimbel collection leaves State College, it will go on a tour of the Commonwealth and then of the nation. The Pennsylvania tour is designed to give all people of the state a chance to view their own property. After the tour, the future of the collection is still a mat ter of conjecture. Obviously, it will have a permanent rest ing place, preferably in a fairly central location, and prefer ably in a place where it may be of benefit in education, and in instilling some of the Commonwealth's culture into future citizens of the state. What better place then, than at the Pennsylvania State College? Penn State fills the bill on most scores. It is a public institution, located in the center of the state, equally acces sible to the four corners of the Commonwealth. At Penn State, moreover, the collection would do more than just hand on a wall. It would be a teacher a teacher of art, of culture, and even of history. In all these many ways, what could be more fitting than the art collection of the people of Pennsylvania located at the center of learning of the people of Pennsylvania? Another Man'slV-, \ - Poison , By Arni Gerton I was left by French and the other caretakers of that amazing creature known as Phineas. They may call him that but after listen ing to him complain and voice his opinions on love, life and art, I ave many other names for him No sooner had the old Collegian staff vacated the offices when :glockenspiel grabbed my arm and said, "You can't imagine what I've :lad to put up with that gang. They gave me publicity sure, but they made me out to be a character. I'm as catty as the next cat!" It struck me a little strange, that after the sympathy and under .-tanding everyone had given Phineas, he stabbed them in the oack. I was slowly getting fed up and I had only been in his presence a few minutes. French, ~lease don't graduate! Come back, .ve need you! "They were always leaving me out of things," he cried. "I got around that, though, because I sneaked along up to Pete's Place for the Collegian banquet the other evening. As strong as I am though, I couldn't help but break down when I heard, I mean over heard, those farewell speeches made by Ostar, Hutch and French, and that guy who was the editor of Froth. What was his name, now?" Here for the first time I found out that Glockenspiel had a heart and some intelligence. ... I can't remember the Froth ed tor's name, either. "Yes, those speeches were really touching," and as he said this he licked a tear from his chin and began shining a newly acquired key. "I got this for "Cativities," he leered, changing his mood for a moment. ... and I remembered that a pun is the worst form of !iterary humor. "You know, Ostar wasn't a bad THE DAMS COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA —Elliot Shapiro guy, but those friends of his like that ex-All-College President." This time I came up for air and looked out the window. How long could this rat-eater go on, protege or not? But as he started voicing his own views on another subject, I spotted French walking by, slapping his thigh with the Help Wanted section of the In quirer and I yelled for him to get Inc out of this. "Wait," screamed Phineas, "I'm not through yet." As far as I was concerned he was and I was. "Hcy French, can I see those want ads?"

Reservations Not Necessary By Lichiy Argument for Co-op `r~ X 4O 0 5 t r av IS,,,e9,wei TO THE EDITOR: As an in terested observer I wish to offer a comment in answer to Col. Mills's letter to the editor dis couraging the establishment of a co-op. His argument is centered around democracy and free com petitive enterprise. In essence he says that co-ops are against the ideals of true democracy and that steps made in the direction of their support are steps to wards state socialism. This argument raises several serious questions. What is a de mocracy?. Are Alexander Hamil ton's and Thomas Jefferson's in terpretations of democracy the same? Does democracy mean the same thing to a State College merchant as it does to an Ex-GI going to college and trying to maintain his existence on the paltry sum he receives each month when considered in the light of the high living expenses at State College? Does State Col lege have free competition in business? Can an enterprising young man come to State College and set himself up in business? What Is Democracy? ww7 4,4 1 / 4 , 1:1=1:=13=0 A democracy is a government "of the people, by the people, for the people" whose "just powers are derived from the consent of the governed." It is a government that guarantees us "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It is not the kind of government that will jeopardize our freedom of speech or freedom from want even if we are at present stu dents, veterans, who, for the most part, have fought in many cor ners of the earth for these rights. When a system of economics or an organization tends to put it -1 self above the people, subjecting them to unwarranted abuses, it is the duty of those people to modify the system or organiza tion in the interests of the vast majority. Hence, the justification of the post office, public schools, government regulation of public utilities, and the anti-trust laws. I might add that in none of these cases has our country been made less democratic. No Socialism Here FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1048 Mailcall I wish to assure Col. Mills that he need not fear the possibility of a trend towards a socialistic state. Co-ops have been in exist ence as long as the constitution and as long as that constitution exists so will the co-ops. I there fore question the logic of Col. Mills' argument and do hereby suggest that the Board of Trus tees encourage in every way pos sible a co-op on a campus sur rounded by a community in which there is little evidence of free competition. —Name Withheld.
