Four Observations "February Thaw," Sunday afternoon's Mixer at the TUB, successfully sponsored by the independ ent men and women, pointed up several interest ing facts, which will be briefly discussed here, not necessarily in order of importance. I—lndependent students can get constructive ideas, and can successfully transform them into actualities, when they set out to do so. If a majority of independents would actively participate in their own organizations, Association of Independent Me n, Leonides (independent women), Pollock Circle and Nittany Dorm Coun cils, the magnitude of their accomplishments would amaze the entire campus. 2—The over-crowding of the tiny dance floor demonstrated the continuing urgent need for a Student Union Building, with adequate facilities. Fortunately, the need for such a building has been recognized by the administration and the Board of Trustees, who have authorized the Col lege architects to draw up preliminary plans. 3—The enthusiastic turn-out of 1500 Sunday afternoon - entertainment - starved students illus trates a demand for more social functions of that type, sponsored by various organizations. 4—What this College needs is more women, or at least more of those present to participate in mixers. The gospel about Simmons and McElwain "Hotels" may attract more girls to matriculate. Spreading the word about the friendship and fun available at informal mixers (the ones that eager groups are going to start sponsoring) will induce them to "circulate."

Klepper Paper Ciiiiiin Timely Listening The touchy and timely subject "Should Communists Be Allowed to Teach in Our Colleges?" will be talked over by three educators and an avowed liberal, on the "Town Meeting" program at 8:30 p.m. today Enhancing the interest of this discussion is the scheduled ap nearance of Dr. Raymond B. Allen, president of the University of Washington, scene of the recent dismissal of professors because of their relationship with the Communist party. That action caused nationwide rumblings in college and press circles. At least four states are weighing proposals which would restrict academic freedom to this extent: New York would require profes sors to take non-communist oaths; Oklahoma, Nebraska, and New Hampshire would require from their professors oaths of loyalty or allegiance to the United States. While this intellectual phase of the cold war goes on, it might be something more than a waste of time for students to listen to both sides in tonight's skirmish. —John Bonne]].
