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.

"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.

A Chat With ARW ...
This is another in a series of articles by
Arthur R. Warnock, dean emeritus of men who
came into contact with thousands of under
graduates during his 30 year tenure as dean
of men.

’ the College, lived its first year in rooms on the
second floor of the Qentzel building on the
southeast corner of College and Pugh. Phi

pied a house that stood on the southwest corner
of Allen and Beaver, the house later being
