Unsigned editorials are written by the sallow PACE TWO NSA Defines Position Discussions, some of them hot and bitter, have occurred between members of All-College Cabinet and National Students Association committee members, about the relationship existing between them. National Executive Committee of NSA recently passed a clari fying resolution, from the standpoint of NSA. which is a federation of student bodies, connected by and through student governments. Theoretically an association of all students, NSA carries out its local programs at Penn State by means of an open committee, whose chairman is appointed by Cabinet, and whose projects must be ap proved by Cabinet Nationally, NSA has worked to strengthen existing student governments, as well as to foster their inception on campuses where they do not operate. The resolution, passed unanimously, states that NSA delegates "should be responsible to the student government, should co operate fully with the student government, should furnish the student government with all the services and information that NSA makes available, "Should never act contrary to policies or instructions of the student government except that they may inform national aqd regional bodies if they believe the student government is acting contrary to the principles of NSA, "And should never act so as to weaken the proper authority of the student government" ' The purpose of this resolution should be subscribed and adhered to by members of the local committee, which should indicate its intent to Cabinet. On its part, Cabinet owes its committee a clear statement of what it expects from NSA, and how its activities can be coordinated with the goals of better student government. Constructive Talk Shopworn cries of cynics and others, to the effect that religion is unconcerned with practical matters, seem rather unfounded in light of the discussion topics of Religion-in-Life Week, start ing tomorrow. Participants in the annual seminars will face up to such vital issues as "Courtship and Marriage," "Brotherhood of Man," and "War and Peace." One recognizes immediately, of course, that mere discussion is not likely to solve much of itself. On the other hand, talk can lead to action, and the more constructive the talk, the more worthwhile the resultant action will be. That is why it is encouraging to note that semi nars will be led by persons well schooled in their respective fields. In the past, the organized church—operated by humans, incidentally—has had its share of seem ingly futile bloodshed and bigoted action. A definite awakening among world churchmen since the war, however, has brought renewed hope to the masses of all faiths that religion now will make its greatest bid as an agent promoting universal good will and alleviating human misery. The religious events on campus this week prom ise to reflect that hope Classical Musicale The set-up was perfect. The atmosphere was restful. The chairs were comfortable. The music was beautiful. The evening was a relaxing, up lifting one as some 75 men and women sat back and listened to Handel, Beethoven and Schubert at Simmons Hall's "Classical Musicale" Thursday nitht. They sat reading, studying, knitting, soon sitting on the floor when there weren't enough chairs left to accommodate the crowd. Attendance at the program proved that there are enough men and women interested in hear ing an evening of good music to warrant its being conducted regularly. Those whose ideas and work went into making up the program deserve commendation. We hope to see the continuance of "Classical Musicale." —Betty Gibbons.

Able, Not Willing TO THE EDITOR: When the issue of providing local telephone service to the men's dormitories after 10 p.m. was brought up by the Nittany Dorm Council, the College said that they could not find operators who were willing to work after that hour. Through personal acquaintances, I know of girls who would be willing to work if the College would hire them. The whole situation seems rather ridiculous when you consider that Bell Telephone maintains 24-hour service all over the country and has never been forced to ctirtail service because it could not find operators who were willing to work at night. It was mentioned in Collegian that it would be necessary to provide transportation for girls work ing after 10 p.m. This problem has been easily solved in Greensburg. When an operator leaves work after midnight, she takes a taxi home. It seems to me that this whole issue makes a joke out of student government. Collegian Gazette Saturday.

Holloway, President of Drew University, Madison, Wis. will be the guest speaker at Sunday Chapel services in Schwab Audi torium at eleven a.m. tomorrow. The service will give particu lar attention to the five-day ob servance of Religion-in-Life Week which begins tomorrow. Various churches of the commun ity w.ll play host to leaders brought to the campus for the week's activities and counseling.

The Chapel Choir, directed by Willa Taylor, will present an anthem, "Beauti ful Saviour" by Christiansen. 'Parlor Story'- Continued from page one circumstances; and whether his domestic tranquility will stand up under his decision. Pretty deep stuff for a comedy, we admit, but it somehow all seems to make a lot of sense, with a truckload of humor thrown in for very good measure. Under a burden lightened by witty dialogue and "typical" col legiate atmosphere, acting ranges from above average to excellent. Eckley Shines As the liberal professor with straight - as - a-ruler convictions, Walt Eckley walks off with the highest acting honors. Mature characterization belies his youth ful appearance, which the light ened arena makeup refuses to conceal. Calm under duress, righteous as he must be, Eckley maintains an acting stature that promises great things for Play ers in the future. Jean Davidson and Fred Leuschner are believable as Chris Burnett and Eddie West, the play's young romantic two some, with their own share of troubles adding much of the light touch which keeps the play fast-moving. Performances Vary As contrast to Eckley, Elea nore Miles as his wife was vari able, at times warm and sincere, and at times breaking down to pouting childishness. Lorraine Zimmerman as the wife of the scheming Governor Bright, por trays a glittering sophisticate with acid charm, and Len Stein is bruskly corrupt as the vacil lating executive who manages to redeem himself to a degree by the final blackout. Laurels are due to Director Robert Kendall, whose guiding hand enabled the mostly-inex perienced cast to make an enjoy able evening out of a play that shows up fairly weak under close scrutiny.
