A Square Deal
If there was ever anything bearing features
of a Square Deal, it's the $2 one-year deal offer
ed to '5O graduates by the Alumni Association.
Some of the attractive aces dealt by Ridge
Riley and Ross Lehman in the Alumni Office ,
are surely worth the $2 alone:
FIRST PRIORITY on reserved football. tic
kets; subscription to 32-page Penn State Alum
ni News magazine issued seven times yearly; l
subscription to the Penn Stater, a quarterly
newspaper; subscription to the Football Letter,
a personalized and sparkling review of each
week's football game by Ridge Riley.
Besides these, the Association sporitors 60
district clubs in Pennsylvania and the nation,
bringing faculty speakers, campus movies and
other College programs. Then the Alumni Office
is clearing house for countless alumni requests
and problems, and it maintains the only mail
ing addresses and complete records of nearly
40,000 alumni.
OTHER ACES and kings crowd this $2 hand
dealt by the AA to every senior graduating
June 12. But the $2 rate holds just until Com
mencement Day.
Teddy Roosevelt, exponent of the Square
Deal, declared: "If the cards come to a man
and he has not the power" and ambition "to
play them, that is his affair ... I shall seejto it
that every man has a Square Deal, no leis and
no more." Grads of the Mid-Century Class
shonidn% miss the boat on this $2 Square Deal.

A Wise Step
Cabinet's decision to lend its support to es
tablishment of a radio station on campus—to
serve students living in the dorms and in fra
ternities and houses adjacent to the campus—
is one of the wisest steps that body' has taken
this year. There can be little doubt but that
the decision will find wide support among the
entire stuclpnt body.
THE STATION, WHICH MAT be In opera
tion when students return to classes in the Pall,
certainly will be an aid in raising the currently
inadequate level of cultural and creative activi
ties open to students and for the entertainment
of them. In addition to widening the scope of
entertainment available to Penn Staters, it also
will create new opportunities for students inter
ested in radio to gain concrete experience.
Intelligent use of radio facilities can do
much to bring about a greater unity among
the students. It could, for example, be used
to broadcast the meetings of Cabinet and give
the vast majority of students a greater insight
into the workings of student government.
Also instrumental in setting the plan in mo
tion, the administration, as well as Cabinet, de
serves congratulations for what certainly is a
step in the right direction.

Voicing Your Opinion
TO THE EDITOR: The All-College Cabinet
has decided that they have represented the stu
dent body to the best of their abilities. If the
students have contradictory ideas to those
introduced and expressed by the College Cabi
net, they should have attended the meeting to
become instrumental in the discussion on an
undoubtedly important bill.
The students revealed through petitioning
that their opinions did, not conform to those re
leased by All-College Cabinet. The only logical
reasoning deduced from their concern for a
petition is that they desired a referendum.
Many points were brought out on the floor
that may have reinforced your present thoughts.
Ont of all the mixed and incessant "jabbering"
Was born just what may have been expected—
nothing? In short, there is still nothing con
crete about the whole project.
Even though other means of financing may
have been obtained, they were not given the
proper weighted consideration at this meeting.
I strongly urge all students to consider the
possibilities of the burden of future assessments
for the Student Union Building, and to' voice
your opinion (for or against) by writing to the
Board of Trustees.
Betrayal of a Trost
TO THE EDITOR: On Thursday night, in my
opinion, the All-College Cabinet, betrayed the
' trust which students have placed in it. I attend
ed most of the three hour session that ctilminat
ed in the passage of the assessment, and I be
lieve that the proceeding's of the meeting
indicated a. great deal of opposition to the pro.;
posal and an even greater deMand for a referen
dum on the isSue. I therefore believe that the
All College Cabinet has been morally criminal
in the passage of such an expensive Set that has
not beet{ shown to have the support of the ma
jority of the students.
Sick• and ?lied
TO THE EDITOR: Frankly I'm getting sick
and tired of this fuss about the• "Lc:tch Case."
I believe the College has , stated that Dr. Lotch
does not have "the proper qualifications" desir
ed for faculty members. Regardless of the ini
tial incident which prompted the dismissal,
whatever that reason May have been, it would
seen' to Me, and to a number of others I've
talked with, that in the way he has acted dur
ing the fracas, and the way his supporters have
acted, Dr. Lorch has only proved the College's
point that he is not the type this college desires
to have on its faculty. I halie had several occas
ions to criticize , the College, but on this point
I say well

I Use of BX Funds Plea To Students
TO THE EDITOR: May I Atg
gest: The addition of the Student
Union to the Penn State Campus
appears a very desirable asset to
our facilities. At this moment it
appears evident that regardless
of how the MONEY. is acquired,
the Student Union building is go
ing to be built. Consequently, let
us determine the Most feasible
method of paying for the proposed
Briefly, may I stiggebt that all
students, rather than collect the
20% cash return at the BX, mere
ly have it credited toward the SU
assessment. So it seems that the
cash return for books purchased
at the BX would alone in one
year cover perhaps half of the
assessment. The purchase of addi
tional supplies would help alsti.
Now, the reverberating results
of such a plan. There would, with
out doubt, be increased buying
at the BX. Well and good; it
would be beneficial for everyone.
Maybe the BX should even acid
tooth paste and shaving cream to
its variety of stock. As a conse
quence, our respectable civic
minded merchants inay initiate a
sultry breeze. However, it may
be quite appropriate to mention
thEit even a fifteen dollar SUas
sessment - would seriously impair
the flow of money to the busi
ness area of State College. Like
wise, the assessment can be a de
triment to the many studbnts
with meager financial resources
who are trying courageously to
imbue themselves with the edu
cational opportunities offered at
Penn State. -
May I repeat that we Should
plan and operate a financing plan
most desirable and least burden
some to the students. Let us hope
that the All-College Cabinet will
consider many pecuniary plans.

TO THE EDITOR: In vie* of
Cabinet's rec e n t undemocratic
action regarding the student as
sessment, I would like to sound
the first note of student distatis
faction by publicly issuing a call
to all those students interested In
taking proper action against this
measure.

Gripe on the SIB
TO THE EDITOR: Upon • read
ing the Friday issue of the Daily
Collegian, I find myself confrimt
ed with what I call My
. fiist le
gitimate gripe while at Penn
State.
The gripe is the new assessment
which is under consideration for
the new Student Union building:
Why should a member of a fra
ternity be required to support a
project designed mainly for the
independent students . (the writer
is an independent)? Why should
married students or couples be
required to support a project
which they Will 'probably never
or seldom use (yes, I'm married)?.
Why not allow the Book Ex
change, which is noW struggling'
for existence, to sell •new arid
used text books, and in place of
the share-the profits plan, adopt
the policy that all profits go to
ward the new Student Union
building. I think that We would
find the profits astounding and
would probably i3e able to build
a four million dollar Student
Union rather than a two
dollar one. To raise the necessary
funds, no compulsory steps would
have to be taken to require a stii
dent to buy •his or , her lidokS at
the BX at standard prices.
