Thar nabs an dohs es reflect student er University consensus. Unsigned editorials are written bi the edits% To Boycott or . . . To boycott or not to boycott . . . that seems to be a perplexing question for NAACP supporters and sympathizers to decipher. With its abrupt and unexplained halting and later resumption of picketing, the National Asso ciation for the Advancement of Colored People is in danger of taking on the same hue it has attrib uted to other groups for vacillation in the fight to end discrimination. Although the logic behind its steps may be crystal-clear to the organization itself, Its failure to inform the public of its motives and intent may prove the downfall of the action, by alienating students and townspeople who may be sympa th.7ti~ with the end, but distrustful of the means. NAACP's quandary is certainly clear. If the boycott were publicly terminated pending nego tiations, the barbers might conclude that the in terest and enthusiasm had worn out. Yet if it were openly maintained, they would probably refuse any overtures of conciliation. However, we believe that NAACP owes its hoped for supporters an explanation of what is to be expected of them. Lest this edit be misconstrued as an indication that Collegian has reversed its former support of the boycott, let it be clearly understood that such is absolutely not the case. In fact, the editor strongly urges that students refrain from getting haircuts in State College at any time, or place, except under explicitly non div.Tirninatory conditions.

NSA Plans Facu NSA formulated plans for forums on faculty rating and cur riculum revision at a meeting Thursday night. These programs, to be held during the Spring se mester, will include student and faculty speakers and open ques tion periods. Oliver Blackwell, chairman of the student welfare panel, will direct them. As part of its educational pro gram, NSA will also sponsor a meeting of All-College Cabinet so that students will have an op portunity to observe a session, learn who their representatives are and how Cabinet functions. All Cabinet meetings are open, but few non-members attend due as much to evident apathy as to lack of space.

A local committee of towns people, faculty and students has been formed recently in an at tempt to bring all involved groups together. Such is the present situ ation!
