Cabbages and Kings , The time has come, as the Walrus in Alice in Wonderland said, to talk of shoes, and ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings. That time of year is fast approaching at which gradu ating seniors will receive. their sheepskins and go out to make their separate ways in the cruel, cruel world. AT COMMENCEMENT TIME, college news papers usually sprout forth with eloquent edi torials giving advice to the graduates. These ivory tower editorialists present their views on how the graduate should conduct himself, how he should look at the world—almost every thing except what kind of toothpaste he should use. • Usually they say nothing that hasn't been said a hundredfold before—their thoughts are stale and their words are mere repetition of last year's scribblingi, which also were repeti tion, ad infinitum. The editorial writer occas ionally looks around for something new to say, then throws up his hands in despair and repeats the obvious. One finally begins to wonder: Why bother with commencement editorials? No one ever takes the "sage" advice , anyway. People dom do take advice they haven't asked for. So, we'd like to say we're not going to wax pedantic this year. We'd like to, but we can't resist the temptation. However, it will be short and sweet. THE WORLD GRADUATES will be entering come June 12 isn't the prettiest sight in history —it never has been. The facts of life are about the same as they've been since Achilles and Hector bashed each other over the head on the plains of Ilium. The world's still the same old mess it always has been, and we doubt whether this year's graduating class will be able to do much about it. No matter how much commence ment speakers and editorialists might rave, we doubt whether this or any class will make much of a dent in the order to things. But it might be fun to try, and we herewith extend a hearty bravo to anyone who wants to take a crack at it. Gazette . . .

Special Service of the SU TO THE EDITOR: Our Student Union has one service which I believe deserves recogni tion. A short time ago I parked my car on campus during the morning. At five o'clock when I climbed into the car, I discovered that I had no ignition key. After searching places I'd been during the day, and finding no key, I was re signed to getting home, the hard way. When finally did get home, to my surprise I found a post card from Student Union saying that I could pick up my car keys at the desk. The ONLY identification in the key case was a 1949 Disabled American Veterans license tag. That was all the S.U. needed. A Tough Job TO. THE EDITOR: After a year of detailed observation, I would be derelict in my duties if I did not express appreciation for the out going business manager and business staff of the Daily Collegian. On behalf of the outgoing Senior Editorial. , Board, I wish to make this public statement of commendation for a job well done—a job thai was ever-craftsmanlike in tangible results, ever-tedious, thankless and thorough. Faced with a trzonendous job of equaling the perform ance of last year's business staff, the 'so.busi ness boys did just that. Although the new business staff will have a high record to match, it has been so ,adequately'' trained that it should have little trouble in ris ing to even greater pinnacles of success. —Tom Morgan. '5O Collegian Editor Scholarship Discrimination TO THE EDITOR I was Interviewed several days ago by an eminent panel of our renowned faculty constituting the Scholarship Committee that annually awards a number of scholarships. I had not been before the Committee ten minutes when one of the members of that august body so glibly put this question, "What was your Father's name in the Old Country?" If college professors do not have the intellect ual fortitude and resolution to banish discrimi nation from their minds, how can the layman on the street, who for lack of wisdom must fre- t quently resort to the guide of emotion for hi? • 1 actions, be expected to rid himself of this in fection? • Letter Cut Ed. Note—Dean Seth Russell, chairman of the Senate Committee on Scholarships and Awards, informs us that the above questiOns had "nothing whatever" to do with the award ing of scholarships. He said the question was put purely as a matter of human interest. That the above charge is unfair, he said, can be seen by , a look at the list of past awards and the people on the Committee. Questionable. Tactics TO THE EDITOR: It seems that only a few weeks ago Mr. Davis introduced himself, shaked our hands . and asked for our votes. Now that we put him in office (and he must adMit Nit tany-Pollock area did put him there) he refuses to recognize us. Why didn't he include these "questionable tactics" in his platform? Faith and Courage TO THE EDITOR: It is suggested that J. 11 Graves retire to some totalitarian state where he would not be annoyed with controversial issues. Dr. Lorcb has done nothing other than. to • defend himself to the best of his ability. Those of us who oppose discrimination are for tunate to have men like Dr. Lorch who have the faith and the courage not to. give up the tight. • Letter Cut • Historical Sources TO THE EDITOR: In re: S.U. assessment— " Taxation without representation is tyranny." "Millions for Defense but not one cent for Tribute!!!" —Jim Logo —Name Withheld —Nittany Student —Robert R. Kepple Beatrice M. Kepple —Julian Hilman Little MO4l On Cam 'Professor Snarf, you have no idea what this means to me.' Delta Sigma Pi Gives Award George M.
