Entered as second-class matter July 5. 1934. at the Stale College, Pa., Post Office under the act of March 3, 1879.

Ad Manager: George Guff; Assistants: Pete Johnson, Ruth Coates, Tony Lawless, Toni Der lick, Joan Morosini. Transfer Device Students who were able to get hold of a copy of the anti-Reede circular using old newsstories from Collegian saw an excellent example of the transfer device used in propaganda. THE FIRST PAGE is a beauty. On it are the words: "From files of the Daily Collegian." The natural implication is that the publishers of the circular came to the Collegian offices and were allowed to use files there. Such an obvious con clusion carries the further implication that Col legian sanctioned such use of its files. None of these implications are 'correct. As we pointed out yesterday, the material was obtained from files in the library, and with out any foreknowledge on the part of the Col legian.. HeadlineS used throughout the circular were placed immediately above reproductions of the Collegian nameplate, i.e., the words "The Daily Collegian" which appear at the top of the front page. Obvious purpose of this device is to give the false impression that the headlines also ap peared in Collegian. ..BUT THE PERFIDY of this technique be comes obvious from the wording of the head lines: "Reede Organizes Radical AVC," "Reede Participates In Subversive ASU," "Reede Says: U. S. Armaments Not Defensive,". " 'Moscow Cha in p . ' Dr. Dußois, 'Great American' Reede," and "Reede Opposes Arming!" Most of the articles cited were lifted out of their pre-World War II context, with the in ference that they represent Reede's present-day 'views. If this is clean politics, we shudder at the 'thought of what dirty politics must be. Driven To Cover The administration's rejection of the IFC pro posal for chaperoned drinking was not unex pected. Nevertheless, the action disappointed us, inasmuch as we feel a reasonable solution to the drinking problem that would entail a com promise on both sides could . be reached and, in the long run, might be a lot better all around. ADMINISTRATIVE disapproval of drinking will not stop drinking in fraternities or any where else—we all might as well face that fact. And if drinking continues, mixed drinking and drinking by minors is sure to continue. It mere ly will driven under cover and will result in punishment for violation of a code which will not be adhered to. We think both the idea of rule-breaking and the psychology of drinking on the sly are bad. The most reasonable plan—and the one most likely to control excesses—would be one which would allow drinking under specified condi dit ions. STARLITE DRIVE-IN on BELLEFONTE ROAD Shows 7 and 9 P.M.

It is in deed unfortunate that you felt it necessary to write to the editor in protest against. "Headline Seekers." What yOu have witnessed, Francis, is a splendid example of the Jehovah Complex in action. You can see it quite frequently •in the Daily Collegian—in the dicta of L. D. Gladfel ter, the bleatings of Mr. Degler upon his ines capable soapbox, and in the high-schoolish vani ties of a •flowery prose by Ron Bonn. You know, of course, they've got the power and we don't. It is a wonder that your letter was printed, since the "error" was rectified in the same issue. It will be more so if this one is printed, or uncut, although my opinions, and' I will label them as such, would remain not disproved. • Letter Cut injustice To Sophomores TO THE EDITOR: Your reference to the fact that the sophomores did not actively participate in the cheers during the Penn State-Temple football game is unfounded and a gross injustice to the sophomore class. Your statement that cheerleaders were doing all the yelling, is in a respect, also an untruth. The men cheerleaders appeared,.at times, ob livious to the different class sections and it was due to this laxity on their part that the proper spirit was not disseminated. While the new fe male additions to the cheering squad were at tractive and petite, they were incapable at that time to present the cheers adequately. • Letter Ctit Solomon E. Jaffe Ed. Note—Mr. Jaffe apparently misunder stood our comment. From where we sat, the only ones we could hear cheering with any consistency were the frosh and sophs. They as well as upperclassmen could have used their lungs more heartily. Gazette . . .

It also cited what it termed several errors in fact in the circular. Defending his support of peace demonstrations before World War 11, Reede said, "All persons who remember my participation will recall that I worked hard to pre vent them from being 'taken over' by Communistic elements." Claims Attack On College Reede also cited Van Zandt for implying Communist activities at the College were widespread. He said, "Our Congressman denied recently that he had attacked the College as a 'hotbed of Commun ism'. Let him deny it to anyone who has read these assorted press clippings, usually torn from their context, and all giving the im pression that the campus is rife with Communistic activities. Of course, injury to the College is a small matter to our Congressman compared to his bid for re-elec tion." The Statement from Reede's col leagues condemning Van Zandt's tactics said, "Regardless of poli tics—some of us are Republicans, some Democrats—we all dislike personalities, unproved charges and rumors, and unfounded re- The Thoroughbred of Pipe Tobamos Choice white Burley • Smooth and mild SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1950 By Bibler 1111 ~~ , ~ ~ii~ /~i ~ ~~ //~ ~// / i //~ r~' Ist of dive." flections upon the integrity of opposing candidates in any cam paign." It scored Van Zandt for "poor taste" and stated, "We may or may not agree with Arthur H. Reede, but we certainly respect him. We have. no doubt of his honesty, loyalty, and compet ence." Luther Harshbarger, executive secretary of the PSCA, told the Daily Collegian, "We certainly object to the use in this circular of the PSCA name without any authorization whatsoever:" The circular attacked Reede in part on the basis of two articles re lating to an advisory position which Reede held jointly in 1935 with Charles P. Hogarth, then associate secretary of PSCA. Collegian Protests A Daily Collegian statement yesterday strongly protested the linking of the paper with the at tack on Reediy.. "No permission was sought or given for the 'Ex- Servicemen's League of Blair County, to reproduce the Colleg ian nameplate," Collegian said ed itorially. Collegian erroneously stated in the last paragraph of yesterday's 'report on the circular that Hugh Manchester was "campaigning for Reede." The words should have been: "campaigning against Reede." Manchester. was definite ly identified several times earlier in the story as attacking Reede and obtaining material that was used against him.
