Storm Warning
Our glance happened to stray to the calendar
yesterday and it suddenly dawned upon us that
final exams will be popping up any day now
Friday, Jan. 18, to be exact.
THUS FAR, WE HAVEN'T given finals too
much thought, and we suspect this has been the
case with a good many of the Penn State Joes
and Janes. But with that fatal date with destiny
less than two weeks away, we finally came to
realize that now is the time to really bear down
and prepare for the slaughter. Frankly, we’ve
piddled away a good portion of this semester
and since it usually is the case among the Joes
and Janes, we imagine quite a. few of our com
patriots are guility of the same sin.
guilty of the same sin.
So, to any other readers who have not yet
happened upon the realization that the day of
doom is near, let this be a storm warning. There
are only a few days and plenty of boning up
between now and the time we all go out to .be
drawn and quartered for this semester.
Hot NCAA Issue
With the touchy problem of sanity code en
forcement already on its agenda, the annual
meeting of the NCAA had another hot issue
tossed into its lap Sunday. Mack M. Greene,
director of athletics at Wilberforce State col
lege— an all-Negro school charged the NCAA
with racial discrimination in scheduling its
meeting in Dallas, Texas.
In a lefier to Kenneth L. (Tug) Wilson,
Western conference commissioner and sec
retary-treasurer of the NCAA, Greene de
clared: "I won't be in Dallas this year io sub
ject myself to the social indignities that Texas
law says I deserve because of my ancestry. I
don't believe you would go there either, if the
same discrimination was imposed on you."
Greene went on to charge that some Negro
members of the NCAA were told that they
would have to ride on freight elevators to get
to the meetings, and that they would not be
welcome at the American Football Coaches as
sociation banquet.
. PENN STATERS FAMILIAR with the situa
tion that developed when the 1947 Nittany Lion
football team was invited to play in the New
Year’s day Cotton bowl know very well the
indignities that would be heaped upon Negro
members of the NCAA who might attend the
meetings. The discrimination problem was such
that it was necessary for the football team to be
quartered at the Naval air station since none of
the Dallas hotels would house the two Negro
members of the squad.
It would seem that the NCAA —an organi
zation committed to the best in athletics and
fair play has made a mistake in scheduling
its annual meeting in the heart of Jim Crow
America.

Thanks, Hope For Fair Deal
TO THE EDITOR:,Carbon copy of letter sent
to Mrs. Storm in answer to her letter published
in the Daily Collegian Jan. 4:
Dear Mrs. Storm
I was very pleased to receive your letter con
cerning the Windcrest Christmas party. Thank
you very much for those words of encourage
ment. Such acclaqn will certainly be an incen
tive for our man to put time and effort on the
projects which lie before us. Much of the praise
for the success of the Windcrest party must go
to you parents for the very cooperative spirit
in which you supported and participated in this
program.
We like our neighbors in Windcrest and hope
that the College administration will not go
through with plans to dismantle your commun
ity. It is alleged that widescale repairs are due
for the trailers and that the College cannot
stand the expense at this time. However, I have
heard from several families that they are will
ing to repair the trailers at their own expense.
I sincerely hope that you nice people get a fair
deal in this matter.

Two Groups Approve
Plan By Eisenhower
Two campus groups—the local
chapter of the American Associa
tion of University Professors and
the faculty of the School of the
Liberal e Arts —have endorsed the
proposal of President Eisenhower
that a small college advisory
council be named.
This council would be available
to counsel with all administrators,
including the President, on im
portant legislative, policy, and
administrative matters.
The Planning committee of the
School of Liberal Arts presented
to the faculty of the School the
following resolutions', which were
adopted by unanimous vote:
“Be it resolved: That the School
of the Liberal Arts endorses the
proposal made by President
Eisenhower to the effect that
there be established a faculty ad
visory council, chosen by propor
tional representation, to counsel
the President and other adminis
trators on important questions of
policy and administration.
“Be it further resolved: That
the faculty of the School of the
Liberal Arts stands ready to elect
its proportionate number of rep
resentatives to the proposed ad
visory council.”

Dean's Letter
Conveys Hope
Hope was expressed last week
that every student would stick
with his job in an open letter
sent to all students leaders and
fraternities by the Dean of Men’s
office.
The communication was signed
by H. K. Wilson, dean of men,
his assistants, and his office staff.
The letter pointed out the pres
ent uncertainty in the world
situation, and said: “The staff of
the office of the Dean of Men
hopes that every student will
stick with his job at Penn State,
firm in the belief that in so
doing, he is contributing in full
measure as a responsible citi
zen.”
The letter continued that the
Dean of Men’s office had attempt
ed to enlarge its activities within
the past year. It pointed out the
more effective tie-ups with IFC
and AIM as examples of increased
student participation in govern
ment.
