r-ALrt, i'WU Forum Boost Posters, pamphlets and tickets are heralding the arrival of the State • College Community Forum sefies to the campus. Each year the Forum offers students, faculty and boro citizens an opportunity to become well informed on world affairs by presenting nationally and in ternationally known men in a wide variety of fields. This year, as in the past, season tickets are being offered at a considerable saving to those who wish to attend the lectures. These tickets also guarantee reserved seats for all the series. This in itself makes it expedient that students should take advantage of this opportunity. Good seats will be scarce for most of the lectures unless reserve seats are obtained. Season tickets may be exchanged at Stu dent Union in Old Main for a set of five re serve seat tickets starting at 1:30 p.m. Monday and. continuing until 8 p.m. next Wednesday opening night. HANSON W. BALDWIN, the country’s fore most military analyst and military editor of the New York Times, will open the series in Schwab Auditorium on Wednesday, and will speak on “Security in the Atomic Age.” ONE OF THIS season’s most popular lec tures will be author-poet Carl Sandburg on Jan. 11. Sandburg has won two Pulitzer Prize awards and was considered for the Nobel Prize in literature ■in 1949. Wholehearted support of the series by stu dents and townspeople makes possible the Community Forum series. This year, the Artists Series was forced out of existence partly because of lack of support by stu dents. The Forum series could suffer the same catastrophe. It costs money to bring good speakers to the campus, but even more than that it takes a spirit of interest. The cost is nominal for the benefits received. Let’s get behind the Forum and not let it die. ■ ■ —Art Benning Hatlij Collegia: Successor to THE FREE LANCE, est. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday mornings 11. elusive during the College year by the staff of.

Tracking Down d Tales Students coming back to State this past weekend have lots of gory tales to spin about the icy roads, treacherous detours etc. However, the people who took the most round-about route were hose whd came by plane from Pittsburgh. “ To avoid bad roads they took a plane only to find they were .nable to land at the local airport. They finally came down at Williamsport'and then continued their journey to State by bus. COLLEGE WOMEN were encountering increasing difficulty in nding interesting husbands, 20 years ago, according to the Rev aniel A. Lord of- St/ Louis, who suggested that men spend more me in adapting themselves for a cultural existence. "College girls aren't marrying as much as they used to," ie declared, "partly because some of them want careers, but .i.lso • because ;of ;• the.difficulty many of them run against in find ’ -jg college men whose conversation and companionship interests hem." AS A REMEDY for the situation, Rev. Lord offered a 'method. i cutting'down the grammar school period/in allo^iv'men lore time for a cultural college education in addition to the pro essional and business courses which occupy most of. their time and interest. - Exchange News and Views Many unreasonable situations have been explained by a simple ..lerence tp the ancient law of supply and demand. That: is to say! ie dearness or value of an article is directly proportional to. the itio between the number wanted and the number available. Thi' ay explain the attitude of many coeds. ! . ■ Inflation is with us. Just look at some of the women on cam 's. Exaggeration has proceeded to the point where realness is erely a dream in a world of superlatives. The “opposite sex” is not to be blamed, however. I dare sa' .at in ’ a similar situation with the male being the scarce iterr ie men, like the women now, would become rather difficui: 10. In fact, that situation has occured on-several occasions, bu ce the present attitude, continued over a period of years. ~ Let there be no bitterness, but only softly spoken words o ution. Things will not continue thus. The monopoly will m t forever. Future markets and demands may bi protected on/ lugh consideration of the .consumer of today. —Paul E.

COUNCIL MIXERS provide one of the few opportunities for students to ■ meet their pro fessors in a social atmosphere, away from the ‘ formality of the classroom. The success, of the. mixer depends entirely on the interest of the students. The extent of that interest will be shown by the number who attend. • '' An all 100 prevalent feeling' on campus is that the student councils do, not fulfill any worthwhile purpose and "just add an other key to someone's key chain." The, coun cils can function only with the support of < the students whom they represent and if there is disinterest on the part of those stu dents then the council will lose its purpose. * * * School councils plan these mixers : as part of a program to promote better understanding and cooperation between faculty and. students of their schools. The faculty will attend the Liberal Arts mixer at the TUB tonight 1 as it always, does. How about the LA studehts do ing the same? Gazette....
