PAM TWO
Big Job Ahead
Possibly one of the most notable of the retiring
j All-College Cabinet's achievements is the enor
mous list of jobs it is leaving behind for the neo
phytes to tackle.
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.

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. Refer to our April 12 edi
torial, "Let Them Talk."

Summer Worker Tells of Job
In North Carolina Work Camp
(This is the second in a series of eight articles on summer
work camp experiences of several members of the student body.
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.
