Have slgoo capital and many years of experience. Cats Men Stanley, secretary of COBS. Yes, that's right. All the Council on Racial Equality needs today is a location and the non discriminatory bather shop would cease to be an idea and become a reality. CORE is not a new organisation on campus; in fact. unless some new blood is pumped into its veins in the form of workers and fighters for religious and racial equality. CORE will cease to exist. The Council has been working for three years to establish the shop which would be open to all men. CORE's history reads like the bottom of a plate of alphabet soup. AVC (American Veterans Com mittee) and PSCA (Penn State Christian Associa tion) originated the Council to fight prejudice based on race, religion and color. Last year, the group decided, when all efforts had failed to persuade the local barbers to cut Negroes' hair, to sell haircut tickets worth their face value in a non-discriminatory shop. After collecting $lBOO, the Council members took the money to the local barbers to prove that the shops in State College would not lose money if they ran a non-discriminatory shop. But the barbers still refused to admit Negroes and the only alternative left was that of estab lishing a new barber shop in State College. While CORE was negotiating for barbers, E NAACP (National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People) decided to take the direct . action method of opening the shops and began a campus-wide boycott. Although this boycott and picketing had some effect on the barbers' busi ness, a combination of factors terminated the action before it could bring results. Now CORE is ready to open "a first-class barber shop in which all Americans can get haircuts" as Professor Harold Graves, CORE chairman, put it, but there is no location available. . CORE has not given up the fight against dis crimination, but it needs help in the battle—your help. If you're against discrimination and want to , do something to lick this evil right here in State 'College, call Ellen Stanley at 6711-177 or Dr. Graves in 200 Sparks and help form the corps of the fighting CORE. Edit Brief • Looking back to other big weekends, we find that in 1941, the IFC more or less encouraged the now strongly practiced custom of importing. They did this by a contest whereby prospective imports had to write an "essay" of 25 words or less why they would want to come to Penn State for the IFC ball. The prizes offered for the best "reason" were free transportation by rail, bus, or automobile ' from the winner's home to the College, plus a com plimentary invitation to the IFC ball.

Klepper Non-Partisans Do Count About this time every spring, stirrings of the campus political cliques prompt editorial writers to exhort all their fellow students to assume an active interest in the forthcoming all-College elections. But a sense of futility, pervades the haunts of the Independent (by Independent we do not mean non-Greek, but non-party-affiliate) Voter. This what's-the-use-the-machine-elects-the-winner-anyway school blissfully ignores its own power and importance. IF ONE PARTY BUILDS up a stronger machine than the other, it naturally will sweep the election—unless the free and independent voter, making his decision on personal qualifications rather than party tag, swings the balance in favor of certain contenders on the "weaker" slate. Now probably. most of the nominees are fairly capable, but the independent voter can force the cliques to present even more com petent persons for all offices, by demonstrating their intention to vote intelligently and with discernment. An opening wedge was made available last fall to aid non partisan voters who desire to split their votes for president and vice president. This tool should compel cliques to propose good candi dates for both posts, if it is employed whenever necessary. TRUE TO ITS TRADITION, as befitting to a monopoly news paper interested in the election of the best possible officers, the Daily Collegian will not engage in partisan support or opposition to clique slates or platforms. However, we shall find it within our province to make observa tions on the qualifications and past performances of individual can didates (honestly and objectively, without any trace of malice or muckraking). Similarly it may be deemed desirable to criticize individual planks in the platform of either or both cliques. Again our view points will be non-partisan, based on the best interests of the College. Finally, the worth and importance of student government can scarcely be over-emphasized. Its value to the •individual can be directly measured by his participation. RARE OPPORTUNITY SINIDY . .
