Heller, student at the College and an official in the local Communist Party Stu dent Club, recently arrested for passing out leaf lets in the borough, were refused permission to conduct a street meeting in the borough last Satur day afternoon. In denying the request, A. E. Yougel, burgess, told representatives of the Civil Liberties group that hfe would not have funds to pay the extra policemen necessary for such a meeting, and that he could see no necessity for the meeting. The com mute spokesman offered to pay for the services of extra policemen, but the Burgess still refused per mission. Since then, Heller has been informed of the postponement of the hearing until August 8. The hearing was originally scheduled for July 5. The reason given by the Burgess for the postponement was that he was “going on a vacation.” This is a direct attempt to silence all protest to the Heller arrest, and serves to strengthen the com mittee's contention that the arrest was an unjust one in the first place. Not satisfied with cutting oft free speech through Mr. Heller's arrest, the Bur gess now refuses to allow a meeting to be held where the protests may be aired publicly. The post ponement of the hearing because of the Burgess' vacation is a highly damaging slap at court jus tice. The Civii Liberties Committee had its initial meeting on Wednesday, June 29, with the election of offeers and plans for immediate action on the Heller case bein goutlined. Helen Ruby was elect ed temporary chairman, and Mary Lou Henry, secretary-treasurer. Letters asking for financial aid have been circulated by the committee. The com mute ptens to organize on a permanent basis soon. —Stale College Civil Liberties Committee Helen Ruby, Chairman COLLEGIAN GAZETTE Wednesday, July 6 TEA for graduate students’ wives, Atherton Lounge, 3 p-m.

Evelyn MacGregor The Summer Collegian Editorial Page On Alcoholism As alcoholism in an individual is a symptom of a mental or physical sickness, so the presence of alcoholic individuals in a society is the sympton of maladjustment in that society. Dr. William G. Mather, professor of rural sociology, said in a re cent talk at Juniata College in Huntingdon. DR. MATHER STATED that it does little good to treat alcoholic individuals without treat ing the social and economic forces that make per sons susceptible to alcoholism. “Alcoholism has social roots,” Dr. Mather ex plained. “It can flourish in societies where there is considerable economic insecurity, great com petitive strain, pervading fear as of current or im pending war. and dislike of children. All these are present in our own society. All o>f them tend to produce timidity and lack of self-confidence, which the consumption of alcohol can help to re lieve temporarily.” "TO THE STRONG and confident personality, alcohol has little appeal,” Dr. Mather added. “And the type of society which produces that type of person will have little alcoholism.” M/sce//any Penn Slate forestry students taking summer training at Camp Blue Jay received some prac tical experience in forest fighting earlier this month. When large fires broke out in the Allegheny National Forest, about 35 miles from camp, train ing activities were discontinued and all students, working in shifts ranging from 6 to 20 hours, help ed to fight the fire. The fires broke out Wednesday but were reported under control today. Merwin W. Humphrey, associate professor of forestry at the College, assisted by other members of the department of forestry and of the depart ment of civil engineering, is in charge of the camp, located near Marienville, Forest Co.
