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.

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.

Mixer Tonight
Tonight the newly elected Liberal Arts Stu
-1 dent Council will hold its annual Student-
Faculty mixer.
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?
