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. Art Benning

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.” . ' -

"SCIENCE HAS made war impossible," Francis P. 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.

/■Short-Sighted Decision
TO THE EDITOR: It seems to me that the
Artist's Course in Friday’s Daily Collegian
calls for a feyr comments on the short-sighted
decision to eliminate the Course for this year.
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.

' 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. . •
