InWille M 0611 Not Alone That State College barber shops are far from unique in their discriminatory practices is com mon knowledge. It may not be so well-known, however, that Penn State students (as well as some faculty and townspeople) are not alone in attempting to elimi nate this undemocratic action in the town serving their campus. At the University of Michigan, for example, an Inter-Racial Association and its "Operation Hair cut" were topics of heated debate about a year ago, with its picketing and legal test-case. There, too, controversy raged on the methods used, although campus opinion overwhelmingly favored elimination of discrimination in all places, according to the Michigan Daily, student news paper. During the past year IRA's activities have re portedly been extremely effective on the long range basis. Members have presented anti-dis crimination programs in nearby high schools, and on the radio. Anti-discrimination pamphlets have been issued and distributed on and near campus, and man agers of local theaters were asked to exhibit inter ?a,,ial movies. One observation possible from the case cited above' is that students of Penn State are not at tempting something which is ultra-liberal or years in advance of the times. Rather they are a representation of the spirit of racial and religious tolerance which is so increas -I.nfi,ly evident on American campuses these days. It is not surprising that university students, pro fessors and other educated persons should be in the vanguard of the movement to make equality of opportunity a reality. For education enlightens. It exposes the fraud and sham of race supremacy, and reveals the logi cal and rational basis on which American equality was conceived, and on which it can flourish.

More on 'Policy' That old bugaboo of newspaper writers, shortage of space, rose up last week and prevented us from saying all we wanted to about Collegian "policy," what it is, how it may be changeable, how and by whom it is formed. . The who first. Generally speaking, Collegian policy is identical with the editor's policy. Of course it may happen that most of the staff disagrees with the editor in some matter or other. • Because of this, editors are usualy careful to avoid expressions , "Collegian believes that . . ." When vital and controversial issues arise, however, the senior board discusses them and attempts to arrive at a composite viewpoint. Editorials written about those subjects are clearly labelled "Col legian" and are signed by or for the senior board. However, dissent ing editorials may be published, depending upon the circumstances. Rapid changes of "policy" are theoretically possible since Col legian editorial writers realize that they are not infallible, •that they may jump to hasty conclusions, or may have overlooked pertinent facts or altered circumstances. It must be emphasized, however, that pressure, from any source and of any variety, will not cause Collegian to reverse any stand It should take. Newly considered facts, and changed conditions may ~n ecessitate a revised opinion. Whatever course Collegian editorialists advocate, they do sin cerely, and with the betterment of Penn State, and indeed of all mankind, as the ultimate goal.

Here we have a growing college that needs a president, a boycott that need some backing, a basketball team that needs a new coach, almost 2000 students who need some good food, etc., etc. . Our answer to these problems should be a pro gressive newspaper willing to fight for the rights of the students. But what have we? A spineless, wishy-washy rag that refuses even to comment or! the weather! Why must the only real editorializing in our paper appear in the letters-to-the-editor coluznn? Can't the editors themselves write? Or aren't they students? Or just can't they see the obvious needs of the College? It clamps by the administration are your excuse, then the administration's policy should be yoisr first point of attack. If you only showed some spunk you'd get all the support you need from some very enthusiastic students. —Hobert It Lerpeg.. —Michael R. 'Deebansia TO THE EDITOR: It certainly is disgusting to see the "young gentlemen," who are attending college and trying to prove to officials that they are old enough and wise enough to vote, act like little boys. Running through a theater and yelling as loudly is possible is one way of proving one's age. The 'hildren who attend the Saturday matinee at the Nittany Theater are more "grown-up" and man ierly.
