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."
AT THE MOVIES
CATHAUM—Whispering Smith.
STATE—Command Decision.
NITTANY—Life of Giuseppe Verdi

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]].
