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.
Jazz Concert
Plans for the Concert, featuring
the Tru-Blu Sextet and scheduled
for Wednesday night, were re
viewed. Part of the proceeds will
be used for the Pennsylvania Cul
turale, to be held at the Metro

April 22 and 23. Jane Fouracre,
