PAGE TWO New Undertaking The local chapter of the United World Fed eralist movement came into existence in the spring of 1948, shortly after interest had been aroused by Norman Cousins, a Community Forum speaker of that season. SINCE ITS inception in State College, the chapter has gained in membership, and 'in terest has reached the point where a,new un dertaking is now being planned—a UWF stu dent chapter. At present the chapter consists of towns people, faculty and students. A student chap ter has been in th'e formative stage since last year when interested undorrgrads requested the move. It is felt by many, and justifiably so, that students participate more in an or ganization which could be called their own. and which would meet on campus rather than in the high school building. PLANS ARE nearing completion for the for mation of the new chapter, and only a showing of disinterest by students will retard its estab lishment. Tonight at 8 o'clock, the local chapter meets in the libarary of the high school to elect officers and to complete plans for the new organization. Students who are interested in world fed eration, or who wish to know more about the movement which is being advocated by many leading men today, should show by their pre sence, a desire for a student chapter of UWF at the College.

PENNSYLVANIA Gleaned From Prints Under direction of the President of the Student Republican club, a canvass was made of the voting students at the College, 45 y%ars ago. Up to this week, in 1904, only one Democrat had declared himself. The only reason this student could give for his political preference was “that the Republicans had been in long enough.” ANYHOW, RESULTS of the canvass indicated the'“coming Presi dential election will be a ,walk-over for Roosevelt • and Fairbanks, if the sentiments of State College voters can be taken as an in- ' dication.” - Republicans .will go to their homes in a body in November to whoop things up for "Teddy." a writer predicted. Enrollment figures released by the College registrar this week, 40 years ago, showed 499 . new students to have. matriculated at State in 1909. AS YOU LISTEN to the Michigan State game this Saturday, think of those students of 40 years ago, who, being unable to at tend the “away” games, had to recourse to gathering in the old Chapel (for a small fee) to hear returns from the games, All they got for their money- was "specimen bits of infor mation that got through the line and out of the big megaphone," one student complained. “To follow the play was simply impossible,” he explained. “The ball would' take unexplained jumps from one territory to another. Always there was a big argument on.” ~ * * * 20 YEARS AGO AND IN THE “Letter Box” of the Penn, State Collegian, 20 years ago, appeared this oft’ opened sore: "I noticed in the Collegian that the Blue Band will not, travel to New York with the team for the N.Y;U. game. I be lieve this is a serious mistake. “In the first, place, little or nothing is known of Penn State in New York City. The number of students from that city in this school is relatively small. It is my belief ,that a band with the qualities of our Blue Band would give this college a little desir able publicity, and would favorably impress the thousands .of people attending the grfme.” .

Garvan of New York told the American Chemical Society 20 years ago.- "I believe." he declared, "that modern chemistry plus avia tion has made war impossible. In case of a modern war between great powers it would be foolish and useless for a battleship or cruiser to leave its dock or an army to take, the field.

Strangely enough,' the answer to the whole problem is clearly stated in the article. I qiiote: “Some said that the course was too high-brow —that they desired more jazz.” Well, why not? Surely not because'a num ber of patrons threatened to sever their as sociation with the course. There must be too few of them to matter, otherwise the course would never have been discohtinued. It is my firm conviction that there would ' be no attendance problem if a series of jazz concerts were presented. Rather, there -would x he S.R.O. signs around the Auditorium; The dirth of such concerts ort campus has . long been a source of wonderment . (and chagrin) to me. Many other colleges, notably Cornell, have sponsored such events hr the past; no precedent would be established. Your move, Mr. Morse. Which Is It? TO THE EDITOR: During a recant song, fest held by the boys of McAllister after dinner, we had just finished singing' “The . Nittany Lion.” One of us had noticed that some, sang the'' third line of the chorus with “Mother of men,” while' others sang “Moulder of' men.” Upon investigation we discovered that the" “Of ficial Program” read “Mother” while the Stu dent’s Hand Book of 1949-1950” re a d “Moulder.” Which is correct? The boys of McAllister . Ed. Note—Staff members -of the . Penn State Room of Central Library checked the Student Handbook of '2l and '22, the year the song was first printed. The words used there are "Mother of Men." Further checking of the College songs re veals that the fourth stanza of the Alma Mater was also printed - incorrectly' in-'this year's Student Handbook. The correct words are . . . "but swell, thy fame"; and not "help swell thy fame." . \ : ' . ' • ' •/ f or: Judges Only? TO THE EDITOR: After looking over the lawn displays of the- fraternities this past " Saturday night, I began wondering whether the.lawn' displays are' erected solely for the enjoyment of the judges, or whether the stu dents and alumni- are also supposed to get some pleasure out of them. . I am referring to the display, of one of the winners. I passed the display at '11:00 a.m. Saturday, which; incidentally, was the time that the judges were making the rounds, and the display was in full swing. Howevdr, I passed the'same'display at 12:30, 7:30, and 10100 p.m., and the few signs which I saw standing on the lawn would hardly warrant a prize. One-of the other prize - winning dis s plays didn’t'-even carry out the entire theme. • I certainly think that in folowing yOars it should be required -that the theme be carried through in its entirety; I also believe that definite specifications should be set up con cerning human participation. •' ~ —Donald L. Anthony ' Warm Reception TO THE EDITOR: .This letter can hardly express- xniy gratitude for-‘the Warm reception which was accorded mfe at State College over the-Boston College Weekend. It was tremen ■ dous; :the„best hospitality anyone .could,, ever hope .to receive.. . ~ „ 1 . . Speaking unofficially for my fellow students at Boston . College, I . say that it was the best . weekend we have ever spent. The vast majority of us arrived in your 1;own pretty tired from our, 500. mile.';,trip and had no plape to stay. - Through the . courtesy of your various fra ternities our. problems were settled and our stay made easier and much more pleasant. Although our team. lost, we won . . . . won many new friends at your school. . • William T. Glennon 11 Frawley Si. Boston 15,, Mass. —Thomas E. Hampel
