No Slaves Under T-H Act
TO THE EDITOR: I wonder how many stu
dents heard the program "Meet the Press" from
10 to 10:30 last Friday evening on WMAJ?
Mr. Green of the AFL and four nationally
known newspapermen were discussing the Taft-
Hartley Act. Their arguments have convinced me
that this was one of the best pieces of legislation
ever passed by Congress. I agree that it may have
its faults, but it is certainly not destroying the
unions. They have continued to grow in size and
strength while the law has been in effect. All it
has done is to take away some of the drunken
powers that irresponsible leaders have taken for
granted in the past 15 years. Mr. Green, who
strongly maintained that labor has been made a
slave under the Taft-Hartley Act, was at a loss
for words to express himself when asked if the
closed shop and closed unions did not take away
the rights of the individual worker to work where
and as he chose.
Labor leaders are demanding the repeal of the
Act as part of the price for what they consider
was their single-handed re-election of President
Truman. I think a good many other factors entered
into the Democratic victory last November. You
can't tell Mr. Green that, however.
There are many other points which were
brought up during the broadcast, but space will
not permit their discussion. My hat is off to the
program "Meet the Press" for putting Mr. Green
and his policies on the spot.

Means and Ends
TO THE EDITOR: I would like,to air my opinion
concerning Mr. Earnshaw's letter and its answer.
I believe that one sells his democratic birthright
for a bowl of porridge if he becomes a party of an
undemocratic system which teaches violence and
mass murder techniques for a mere 90 cents a
day. I believe some serious thinking is needed on
this question of means and ends and offer the fol
lowing words of Harry Emerson Fosdick as a
starting point:
"Many Americans do not understand that what
the Communist Party in Russia started out to get
was not an autocratic, dictatorial state, but de
mocracy. The most widely-based industrial and
political democrat in the world was Commu
nism's aim. Only, temporarily, they would use
ruthless repression as means, employ violence in
the killing or the exile of minorities, and the sup
pression of liberty of speech and press! Tempo
rarily, as a means, they would take a short cut
through undemocratic methods to reach a demo
cratic goal. And, in consequence, look at Russia.
Violence grows by what it feeds upon. The more
you suppress liberty, the more you have to sup
press liberty. The• more you use tyranny as a
method, the more you get tyranny as a result... .
We Americans need to learn that lesson by heart.
We never can get peace by unpeaceful methods or
democracy by undemocratic method or liberty
by illiberal methods. Always the means we use
must partake of the quality of the goal we seek.
It is towering falsehood that the end justifies the
means. The profound truth is that always and
everywhere the means determines the end."
—Ralph E. Spiker.

Women's Opportunity
Once more Penn State women may have a voice in the policy
of their school when WRA and WSGA have their preliminary elec
tions tomorrow. But how many coeds will avail themselves a this
opportunity?
WRA plans and supervises the athletic activities of both organ
ized and independent groups. It also offers women students an in
vigorating and varied non-academic program. To set up the right
kind of program, girls with proper qualifications should be elected
to serve on the WRA executive board.
WSGA attempts to provide a code through which girls may
achieve the best rewards of college life. WSGA should not be
thought of as an organization that must be answered to in times of
stress but rather as a group composed of fellow students who are
endeavoring to keep the standards of the College at the highest
possible level.
The girls who are elected will
, put into effect the rules and
policies for the coming school year. Oftentimes complaints are
heard regarding certain stipulations that WRA or WSGA has im
posed. If mistakes have been made they can be rectified by electing
the girls best prepared to serve in this governing capacity.
Voting booths will be placed in the lobbies of Atherton, Mac-
Allister and Simmons Halls from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. tomorrow.
Let's show up, and vote for the best girl.
Behind the Wheels
Libby Taylor, Commie Keller, B. J. Strom, Betty Swift and
Lynn Guillet spent lest weekend at the Garden City Hotel, Garden
City, New York. where they attended a Kappa Alpha Theta dis
trict convention.
The PIKA's are going to have quite a time at the Spring Week
Carnival one week from today. They are having a "Kissing Booth."
Here's your chance, girls, to swoon over such raving brutes as Big
Jack Platt, Hal Rahn,' Ron, Saxe, Jack Boddington, and Sam Harsh
berger. It is all at your own risk, however—they aren't labeling
them sloppy, smooth, or dreamy kissers.
When you leave for class next time you had better tell your
roommate to send out a searching party it you aren't back by
dinner time. Jane Stewart and June Bland were walking toward
Ath the other day and as they neared the Theta house a man sud
denly informed them to stick together—a chunk of dynamite was
about to be let loose.
Seen on a blackboard in Old Main: "Dew Professor: We was
here and you wasn't. Now you is here and we isret."
"The Roaring Twenties" will be the theme for the ATO party,
April 2. All the brothers are going to be dressed as gangsters and
a picture of Al Capone will be honored above the living room
fireplace. Their dates are to dress as "uniquely" as their imagina
tions will permit.
G. G. Fetzer, Gamma Phi Beta president, is leaving today for
Boston where she will attend a Gamma Phi Beta province conven
tion at Boston University and will also spend some time touring
that historic city before returning to campus Sunday night. While
in Boston she will be a guest at the Panhellenic House.
Things are really getting rough in some of our eastern col
leges. At Dartmouth recently a student died after quite a tussle
with some of his fellow-students, and at Brown University a fra
ternity pledge met death after falling down a flight of stairs
while attending a fraternity party. The president of Brown has
accused fraternities of being "discriminatory, non-democratic, and
anti-intellectual."
Last week-end the Nittany Co-op had a combined Scavenger
Hunt and Backwards Party. Everyone came dressed as if they were
going instead of coming and for the scavenger hunt had to collect
everything from diapers to a fraternity pin (with the requirement
that a man be attached to it, of course).
