The witchhunt by the government and FBI for "subversives" is broad ening to include all who do not wholeheartedly support government policy; persecution of minori ties is intensifying; university students and profes sors are being dismissed and intimidated because they hold the "wrong" opinions or support the "wrong" political party. In New York an attempt is being made to outlaw the Communist Party and jail its leaders. These men are not charged with any overt act, nor with planning such an act. The indictment charges them with teaching and advocating a social philosophy which is not acceptable to those now in power. Such an indictment is completely contrary to the democratic principles on which this nation is founded. THE PATTERN of suppression extends even to State College. In May, Alvin Helier, in the name of the Communist Party, handed out on a borough street corner leaflets designed to influence public opinion. He was arrested for a supposed violation of Borough Ordinance No. 274. This ordinance, how ever, is specifically limited to the distribution of commercial and advertising material. The hearing was scheduled for July 5, but was postponed until August 8, the reason given being that Burgess Yougel was "going on a vacation. However, the burgess was in his office on July 5. Since Heller graduates on August 6, this postpone ment serves to insure his political inactivity until he leaves State College. THIS HIGH - HANDED PROCEDURE and post ponement of the hearing led to the formation of the State College Civil Liberties Committee to com bat such attacks on freedom of expression. We firm ly believe that an attack on the civil liberties of one individual or organization is an attack on the civil liberties of all, and we are determined to vigorously fight all infringements of these liberties and of aca demic freedom. Tonight at 7:30 in 410 Old Main the Committee will hold a meeting at which the aims, scope, and program of the organization will be discussed, and permanent officers elected. We believe that such a permanent organization is important, both to deal with cases which arise here, and to cultivate an awareness and understanding of the suppressive trends in this nation today which are leading us toward fascism.

That same question, which seems so suddenly to have come to the attention of a great number of people, has been in our mind since October 3, 1947, the day President Ralph D. Hetzel succumbed of a cerebral blood clot—well over one and one-half years ago. TO SUPPLY the answer, a special committee of the Board of Trustees was finally appointed nearly five months after Hetzel's death to study the problem. In the meantime, James Milholland, president of the Board and graduate of the College, was elected act ing president by the executive committee of the Board, a position he has filled ever since. The special committee, which meets at the call of the chairman, has reported to the Board. No action has yet been taken by that group. In addition to his ponderous duty as acting president of the Col lege, Mr. Milholland is continuing in the capacity of President of the Board. Also, he is maintaining an active membership in a Pittsburgh law firm. He is splitting his time between private practice and the College. WE FIRMLY believe that the headship of a university the size of Penn State is a full-time position, titular though it may be. We hope Mr. Milholland agrees. While the Board ponders, we wait anxiously. But our anxiety is tinged with wonder. , We look in awe at our acting president's three-fold burden—end await an official proclamation.
