PAGE TWO Congressman While in Washington to observe the workings of the Federal Government, a group of Penn j State students had a run-in with Representative : Rankin of Mississippi. Actually there’s nothing especially unusual about this. The Congressman . has been at odds with a vast majority of the American people for a long time. IT SEEMS THAT the itinerant students wan dered into tire House office building and while roaming through the corridors of that edifice passed by the representative’s hallowed office. Several of the students gave vent to their feel ings about the congressman and hissed as they strolled by. Apparently vexed by a speech on the House floor a few minutes earlier advocat ing civil rights in the South —a right guaranteed , to all by the Constitution—Mr. Rankin, the self espoused defender of the Constitution dashed out into the hall apd all but brought out the militia and the FBI. During the course of the next few minutes the Congressman is supposed to have said quite a few things, among which was the side comment to someone in his office, "Some of > these boys are Jews, aren't they?" Coming r from Mr. Rankin, remarks of this nature are ' neither surprising nor shocking. The Ameri- ' can people have come to expect such ravings » from Congressman Rankin. The Congressman, infamous for his insulting . remarks to all minority groups, may be im mune from retaliation when he speaks on the House floor. His immunity does not extend to public opinion, and it is there where the Con gressman must pay the price for his ignorant bigotry. CONGRESSMAN RANKIN had better get used to hissing, for it is not too long in the future that the majority of the American people wall be standing at his door and doing it. It's Your Council Today is the last time students in six schools wifi, be able to vote for representatives to their school student councils. Judging by yesterday’s elections turn-out, relatively few students have taken interest in the election. On the surface, voting in this election may not appear to be an important function of the stu dent government system. Closer inspection, however, will reveal that the individual stu dent’s vote does carry weight. Directly or indirectly, student vote in council elections determines the representative of each school to All-College Cabinet. The president of each school holds a seat in the top student gov ernment agency. j In all, eight Cabinet posts are held by school council presidents. The student who is inter-, ested in seeing himself well-represented will vote todagt, and he will make his selections' wmetmßp. Coflege's Original Name The original name of the College "The Farm er’s High School” was chosen partly because of a feeling that farmers would be prejudiced against the word college as “a place where boys only contracted evil habits” and partly because the first intention appears to have been to establish a. small school with a limited course of iostraction.

STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Little Man On Campus "Now I'd like to read you one of the most stupid papers ever turned in by a student of mine." Tete-a-T ete SCENE: Schwab Auditorium ’ OCCASION: Robert St. John Lecture,' April 17. i- CHARACTERS: Agatha and Agnes, two landladies in a well known college town. (AGATHA —I’d have gotten here sooner to visit with you, but I didn’t dare leave the house until my husband got home \ 'om work. We have roohiers you know. AGNES—I know what you mean. I wish I had been smarter and not rented my extra rooms this year. AGATHA—I only did it because the town is so crowded with students who need rooms. AGNES—There’s so much risk involved. You know, they all smoke in bed, and never use- ashtrays. We don’t smoke at our house. It’S so hard on the wallpaper and curtains. AGATHA—Do you know that we interviewed 12 students before we found two who belonged to our church? Of course, I explained that regular attendance would be necessary. AGNES—My neighbor, Mrs. Jonesj is having a perfectly hor rible time with her roomers. They simply refused to buy their own toilet tissue. And I guess they won’t ever get used to not-running water after nine o’clock. AGATHA—My boys are bound to walk around ,-upstturs with their shoes on after nine, too. AGNES—And another thing, my husband and I like to go away for a weekend occasionally, and We simply can’t possibly if we have roomers. .... AGATHA—I don't believe it's worth it, really. You certainly don't make My money by renting when you consider the extra heat, cleaning, and bed linen to launder. AGNES—Oh, my boys get their own laundered. They cant expect too much for only six dollars a week. AGATHA—I’ve even heard them complain because they have to scrub the bathtub with Bon Ami after their baths. AGNES—I only allow them one bath a week, because the water bill gets so high if you let them bathe anytime. AGATHA —Some of them sure are independent. One of my " boys bought 60 watt bulbs for'all the lamps in the room. He was actually angry when I made him change them for 25 watt bulbs. AGNES—And some nights those radios, drive me wild when Pm . . . Oh, here comes Mr. St. John. We’ll talk it over right after < he’s through. . ' , . . AGATHA—WeII, all right, but I’ll have to hurry home to look after things. „ . , * Any similarity between the landladies mentioned and per sons living or dead is purely disgusting. < Androcles (Continued from page one) .

Warnock, dean emeritus of men who came into contact with thousands of under graduates during his 30 year tenure as dean of men.
