Executing A Policy Action of Alpha Kappa Psi, which removed the restrictive clause from its national consti tution- this fall, should point the way for other organizations which are open only to members of the "Caucasian race." IT ALSO SERVES to remove the stigma which fell on the local chapter last winter when its charter was approved by the College senate committee on student welfare, with stipulation that the restrictive clause be re moved. The professional commerce fraternity's discriminatory clause raised a great deal of furor and caused widespread concern on cam pus. Now that the discriminatory clause has been removed, we hope its removal will have concrete results and will not merely mean that the clause will be replaced by a tactic agreement to exclude all but "Caucasians" from membership. Continuing the discrimination policy would make a farce of the fraternity's action, and would create a cynical attitude toward moves by other groups to wipe out restrictive clauses. Apparently the local chapter is in agreement with the intent of the national's action. We hope that it will take every step possible to implement the new policy. A Real Battle If Hat Society council would really like to pep up the customs program, we suggest it make a genuine battle of the tug-of-war scheduled for Friday. IN OTHER YEARS, the battle was staged to determine the length of customs. If the froth won, customs ended right then and there. If upperclassmen were successful, customs would continue. This packed plenty of interest into the outcome and gave the frosh something tangi ble to shoot for. It also gave both sides a chance to sweat off any animosity rather than taking it out in riots and hazing. The customs spirit, it is generally agreed, has been pretty dead in the past few weeks. Perhaps this is a reaction against the flare-ups of a few weeks ago. Freshmen and hatmen both seem content with their efforts to date— the frosh with their uprising and the hatmen with their pep rally. NOW BOTH have let the program lapse to the point where Hat Society council feels more action is appropriate. Tribunal also would like to get into the show, having announced That dresses may be ordered for men breaking the dating regulation. Though this is extreme, if not ridiculous, it is a good indication that Tri bunal recognizes the recent apathy. Hatmen's council could set up a rousing and popular finale to the languishing customs pro gram by letting the freshmen work for their release, instead of presenting it to them for being good boys . . 0 . • A , • /Weals; every day it ~kt: . pass °the i f lee Caw, 4,1 ~. , vz , .t . . . - -.-/../ •~, 'fb .

Landon Business Mgr. —Herbert Stein— - THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Time To. Reflect This is Pennsylvania Week. It is a 'time set aside for the study of our commonwealth, its government. its resources, its services. BUT IT IS MORE than that. Knowledge is not enough. Objective analysis is as important as sound observation. It is a time for construc tion as well as inspection. It is only when we, as students and as citi zens, know and recognize both the virtues and the faults of any organization affecting us, that anything can be done to improve it. The "our country, right or wrong" philosophy is outmoded. It is time for a new credo: "Our country (or our state, or our school); may it ever be right. But when it is wrong, may we be the first to recognize it and call at tention to it." Safety Valve . . . Bothered By Band TO THE EDITOR: There is a time and place for everything. I readily agree to this state ment. The area next to the Temporary class rooms is not the place to have band practice while classes are in session. Some musical or ganization insists on being as loud and blaring as possible on Wednesday- afternoons from four to five o'clock. I am sure it is not their intention to disturb these classes, but that is what they are ac complishing. I certainly hope they cease this practice as they are creating a large amount of resentment.
