Strong foundations have been laid for some of them; others have scarcely left the talking stage: while still more are only ideas. THE STUDENTS' OWN STORE has actually 'started in business, and will soon declare a divi dend for its patrons. Its most pressing need is larger and more central quarters, and a more complete inventory, which the seniors have aided by a $2OOO gift. Improved publications came a step nearer with 'the help of approximately $6OOO added to the stu- dent press fund by the remainder of the class of '49 gift. Additional funds, a location, operating and control organizations, and assured sources of /supply are problems awaiting immediate solution. Discrimination in State College barbershops was /brought out into the open for close scrutiny, but %remains as firmly entrenched as ever. CORE has (been stymied in its efforts to locate a town site for a non-discriminatory shop. Perhaps the cam ipus is the next possibility to be explored. PENN STATE SPIRIT IS STILL LANGUISH ONG, although it has been perked up considerably rom its wartime lethargy. We're still too busy to stop and say "Hello." Pep rallies have yet to re gain the old-time abandon, in spite of champion (l /ship grid squads. Orientation continues to require careful and iimaginative planning, preparation and execution. "We are fortunate in having Ted Allen, who is somewhat of an orientation specialist, as All- College president. Wilmer E. Kenworthy. new assistant to the 'president in charge of student affairs, should bring tnew vigor to the chairmanship of the Orientation Week committee. Devoted counsellors are the prime requisite of successful orientation, and are desperately needed. STUDENT GOVERNMENT ITSELF MUST BE `MADE STRONGER, and more effective. Coopera tion with the administration to the good of stu %dent welfare must be extended further. Student Councils must be strengthened and must fill the needs of their respective schools. S:tudent participation will be forthcoming as long s student government is significant. Good luck to the new Cabinet. We're expecting Ist lot of accomplishments from you. 3he Sale iy Valve Thought Contivi? TO THE EDITOR: Today in New York 11 men ►are facing 10-20 years in prison; professors such las Joseph Butterworth who spoke here in State ?College last night are being intimidated and dis- Imissed all over the country; students like Jimmy Zarichny are being expelled from universities. The pattern is quite clear. It is an attempt by teactionary forces in control of our government o, faster a strict thought control upon the Amer.. can people. This thought control is necessary if they are to tsucceed in driving the United States into another world war. Today all people who speak up for peace, against the Marshall Plan, against the North ;Atlantic pact, are branded as dupes and fellow i travelers who are subordinating the United States 'to the Soviet Union. In the light of these attacks upon our civil lib erties, it may seem strange to declare membership 6 a progressive organization. But I as an Amer ican student and a member of the Communist Tarty recognize that the only way we can defeat ^the aims of those who alone have something to gain from another world war is not to retreat, but to take a firm stand and expose their self-interested ;policies at all times. It is criminal that due to the hysteria that ex- E ists, the majority of people, through fear of their jobs, and security for their friends and families, are forced to maintain a fearful silence. The Communist Party will continue to light for peace, world cooperation and an extension of civil liberties to all the people. • Collegian readers are reminded of the edi tor's belief that the American ideal of freedom of speech should not be destroyed even when ceptalized on by those whose ultimate aim it is to destroy all freedom.

Further information regarding the projects can be obtained by contacting the PSCA office. 304 Old Main.) As told to the Daily Collegian by Dorothy Park, a member of the American Friends Service Committee work camp in North Carolina last summer. Our work camp was situated in the South Highlands region of the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina. Our work was hard, but we all felt at the close of the camp that it had been the most satisfying summer we'd ever spent. For the people there, mostly of old English stock, "civilization" had started only about 25 years ago. Our project was to reconstruct an old wooden building so that it would be winter-proof and could be used as a pottery at the Penland School of Handicrafts. This school, which has slowly ex_ panded since it started 20 years ago, grew up to serve the com munity need of supplementing its source of income. Re-Learn Crafts During the summer the people are, for the most part, farmers. In winter they re-learn some of the old crafts onc e practiced in their community, and the craft products that they make are then sold; so the crafts are of economic importance to them. The major part of our job con sisted of putting a stone facing on the pottery shop, after putting up new window frames, and of building the chimney. We also poured a concrete floor in the kiln room, put wood flooring in the other two rooms, built some of the permanent furniture, poured win dow sills, and painted all the woodwork. We were directed by a local stone-mason and our hours coincided with those of local labor as nearly as possible. Variety of Backgrounds Our group was small—seven of us were there all eight weeks. We were either college students or newly created graduates. Our camp director was a Unitarian minister. We came from a variety of backgrounds and sections of IFC-AFC Banquet Fraternities are requested to turn in their money for the IFC AFC Banquet to be held at the Nittany Lion Jim on May 5. It is suggested that the fraternity advisors, the presidents, and IFC representatives be present. Mining and Metallurgy The College chapter of the Amer►can Institute of Mining and Mertallurgical Engineers will con duct an open forum to discuss kL.kL.l.ZtArasuuaLM:..a. • the country—lndiana, Pennsyl vania. Massachusetts, Brooklyn. New York, and Ohio. During the summer three foreign students were with us for varying lengths of time—a Scotchman and a Fin nish man and girl. Although much of the time was devoted to actual physical labor, we also had opportunities for group recreation—hikes, square dances, picnics, and discussions in which we shared our ideas with each other. We lived coopera tively, eating our meals at the school and sharing the housework among us. We had come with a variety of motives, but we all felt at the end of August that the two months had been most gratifying. The close fellowship which developed in our group and the chance to share idea s as well as jobs were two of the important things we all appreciated. The feeling of accomplishment after a job well done came, too, and linked with it the knowledge that in a small way, at least, we had been able to put into actual ity your desire for Christian serv ice. We had helped a community which greatly needed us. Another value of the summer came from getting to know the local people and trying to understand their problem s and their way of life.
