Action speaks louder than words!
By actual tabulation the very great majority of gripes that are
addressed to the editor of the Daily Collegian are made by inde
pendent men students. Pollock Circle and Nittany dormitories lead
the complaint list with Tri-dorms and town students a close second.
The actions taken by these groups to alleviate the conditions
they protest, however, certainly take the sting out of their well
chosen words.
Student government was initiated on this campus to give stu
dents an opportunity to air their views about how the College should
be run. One of its prime purposes is to investigate and prescribe
action to alleviate those complaints which seem grounded in fact
In response to numerous requests, late last semester All-College
Cabinet authorized the formation of an AIM council, with a repre
sentative on Cabinet, to act as the voice of independent men. This
body, now in the process of being organized, would be the logical
organization to secure reforms for independent men.
But the very independent men who have complained, criticized,
and griped continually since the beginning of the semester are now
in the process of seriously crippling or perhaps even destroying their
own organization.
How is this being done? Through failure to participate in elec
tions for AIM representatives. The only moderately successful elec
tions staged thus far have been in the Nittany and Pollock Circle
dorms. Elections run off there two weeks ago drew approximately
50% of the total electorate.
The Tri-Dorm picture is infinitely darker, AIM balloting in
Watts, Jordan, and Irvin hall last Thursday night attracted 41 out
of a total of 290 men living in those dormitories. Less than 15% of
the inhabitants thought enough, of AIM to give up 30 minutes to
nominate and elect representatives to the council. Results of those
elections were declared invalid by the AIM committee, which in the
future will refuse to accept as official, election returns in which less
than one-third of the eligible voters turn out.
Tonight the final bloc of independent men, those living in town,
will have an opportunity to vote for AIM representatives from their
respective wards. Practically every student has been contacted by
postcard telling him the time and place of elections in his ward.
Nor can the time element be involved in failure to vote. AIM
elections seldom take more than half an hour. The chairman of the
AIM committee, although a fraternity man, has devoted hundreds
of hours to the project of organizing the group.
No, the issue can be resolved into the question of whether or
not the independent men tjiink enough of AlM—their own voice—
to see that it is successfully organized. Cabinet has done its part in
setting up the machinery to organize AIM. The committee has
worked long and hard to stage elections. The only group remaining
who have not yet completed their work is the voters. Tonight’s elec
tions should indicate the independent’s trend of thought in the
matter.
It s up to you independent men. Either vote or stop griping!

Claustrophobia
If you were afraid of crowds, Saturday's game
was no place to be. Even if you love crowds, Sat
urday’s game probably approached the limits of
your affection.
Everyone expected that the game would be
crowded—but how much more crowded than pre
vious weeks could not be forseen.
The crowding was especially aggravated in the
stand sections allotted to sophomores. On -most
occasions there are just about enough seats in sec
tions J, K, and L to accommodate sophomore AA
book holders.
Saturday, the stands groaned and bulged under
the "influx of people holding three-dollar tickets
entitling them to sit in sections J, K, and L.
Perhaps at the next game when huge crowds
are expected, the sophomore class should stay at
home so that the entire stand may be sold out.
—Elliot Shapiro.

Entrenched System
TO THE EDITOR: Last night I placed a call to
one of the dormitories. I did not get my party, but
someone got my money. This practice of the cam
pus telephone system has, so I have been told, be
come firmly entrenched here. But as far as I can
decipher it is only the addition of padding to a
probably already well padded bank account. I can
not see why the campus telephone system can not
make the acceptance of the toll depend upon the
completion of the call as other telephone sys
tems do.
Another bit of criticism centers around the con
veniently placed, well planted, chocolate brown
posts that are in one of the Pollock Circle parking
lots. It seems to me that the use of a color which
is more brilliant, on these posts, would tend to
prevent many dented fenders as well as bits of
profanity.
• Since at that time Pollock Circle Dorm
were still on the borough switchboard, it was
the well-entrenched Bell System Which col
lected your nickel, a common practice when the
called phone is answered. In a few days, these
phones will be added to the dormitory system,
which requires no toll for inter-campus calls.
