Extremely Heartening
TO THE EDITOR: Although the Spring Car
nival scheduled for yesterday was called off, it was
extremely heartening to anyone interested in stu
dent activities to see the great amount of interest
and enthusiasm aroused by the Carnival. We can
promise everyone that the Carnival will go on as
planned at a later date this spring, to be an
nounced as soon as arrangements can be com
pleted, since we feel that the Carnival will be a
large and definite contribution to life at Penn
State.
We wish to thank all participating organizations
for their hard work in making ready for the Car
nival, and to thank especially the members of
Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, for turning
out a large number of men at 6:30 a.m. ready to
help with the work of setting up.
The Carnival committee hopes that each organi
zation entering a booth will be ready when the
Carnival is again scheduled. All arrangements will
remain the same, except for the weather. Watch
for the early announcement of the new Carnival
date.

Needed $3OOO
TO THE EDITOR: Next week, April 4-9, the
annual World Student Service Fund drive will be
held. Penn State's goal this year is $3OOO, an
amount often paid for a name band at Rec Hall.
Of this, $2400 will be earmarked for textbooks and
student supplies in the Philippines and will cover
the minimum student needs in that nation. The
rest will go into a WSSF general fund to be used
for emergencies.
This is an excellent opportunity to help stu
dents in another country who are sadly in need of
textbooks and supplies. It is a drive in which
students and faculty are the main contributors.
For that reason we have a special responsibility.
So when you give, think of the immense possi
bilities that your contribution will have—not only
to give hundreds of other students an education,
but to tremendously increase good will for the stu
dents of Penn State.
Student Work Agency
TO THE EDITOR: Since the beginning of po
litical campaigns, there seem to be many discrep
ancies as to what has been done by whom. Most
noticeable of these is the origin of the Student
Work Agency. At this time let it be known that
the Agency first had its conception and initiation
through the activities of the State Party with the
sanction of All-College Cabinet. To uphold this
statement here is a history of the Agency.
More than a year ago, Tom Lannen, then All-
College President, appointed a committee com
posed of Abram Hosier, chairman; Jean Faust and
Robert Gabriel, , State Party candidate for All-
College President. This committee worked in
conjunction with Mr. Leetch, head of Student
Placement, and Mr. Reece, head of Student Em
ployment.
After numerous meetings, Reece and Bosler
made a summer trip to Cornell and Princeton, the
purpose being to discover how similar agencies
operated. Information having been gathered, the
following fall found Bosler and Reece setting up
the actual physical establishment of which the
News Agency is an integral part. The College Ad
ministration gave them the "Green Light" and the
Agency became a reality.
Students can be proud of this Agency and also
proud of the fact that student government was
responsible for its establishment.

`How Come You Do Me Like You Do.Do.Do?/
No Exceptions, Please
The NAACP is conducting a membership campaign which runs
through next week. A distinct note of apathy is apparent among
Penn State students. Most of them seem to feel, "We live in the
North; this affair is too remote to concern us."
Many students are in sympathy with the aims of the NAACP,
but they say there is nothing they can possibly do to change the
status quo.
Both of these ideas are basically wrong!
Actually, the situation of the Negro is not essentially different
in the North. Oh, yes, the laws protecting him are stricter; he attends
mixed public schools; public transportation is at his disposal. But
laws alone can't do everything. Even in the "more progressive"
North, a Negro cannot walk into a State College barber shop to have
his hair cut.
Why should people want to do anything about this? The answer
is so obvious that many have overlooked it. It's a wonderful thing
to say "All men are created equal." It's even more wonderful to
treat all in this way. The snarl comes with the addition of one
word—except.
"All men are created equal—except." Except who? Except the
Negro? Except the foreign-born? Except the Mongoloid? There is
no limit to this; the exceptions can be broken into infinite categories.
The only way to halt this is to eliminate all exceptions in the
first place. NAACP is working to do just that.
We are the victims of a bargain. Just exhibit a reduced price
on any item and there we go, reaching into our pockets to spend
those few cents reserved for the afternoon's "hot-dogging."
Yesterday morning we trudged over to the TUB to check on a
B-X story, but by the time the interview was over, we left with
much more than we bargained for. Lee Burns, of the Book Ex
change, greeted us and then said, "It's a shame the students don't
support their store. That pinball machine over there makes more
money than we do."
Burns then pointed out the new pennants the student co-opera
tive store had received and remarked, "Naturally you know that
everything here actually costs you 20 per cent less than the marked
price."
"Every time you buy an article, you receive a sales slip,* he
continued, "and in May you can redeem the slips for one-fifth of
their total value."
By that time he had us convinced and we whipped out a dusty
wallet and bought the biggest, strongest and most attractive note
book on campus.
We kept right on buying supplies and talking to Lee.
Ae we strolled down the mall with a cloth-covered notebook
emblazoned "PENN STATE" in bold white letters under our arms,
we carefully tucked the sales slips in. the wallet and—you know, in
just half an hour we had made 30 cents.

Edit Brief
• Students may have had the laugh on the fac
ulty Tuesday night, but with the flurry of blue
books this week and next, the profs, as usual,
have the last laugh.
• At least one prof proved himself above class
room orthodoxy during the Fred Waring salute of
Penn State: a member of the class brought a port
able radio. The nature of the course allowed this
innovation without the slightest hindrance to
learning.
