Last: Way To Back Inkling Project Editor Sa m Vaughan of Inkling outlined graphically Thursday night, in his report to All- College cabinet, the difficulties facing the lit erary magazine in getting underway. Although there was a good deal of discussion on his re port, cabinet felt itself unable to do anything concrete other than accept the report. ACTUALLY, there was little cabinet could do. In order to begin publication, Inkling, be cause its market is so uncertain, needs someone to stand ready to subsidize it for possible losses. Such backing has been sought, but no• funds could be found in the budgets of various agen cies of the College and Inkling is stalemated. Cabinet cannot serve as such a backer because, once it did so, every organization on campus would begin seeking funds from cabinet. In deed, Vaughan did not intend to ask cabinet for aid and did not ask it. What he did was to present the problem to cabinet and ask that body's reaction. As Vaughan stated the question, either a guar anteed circulation must be found, or subsidy money to meet deficits must be produced. With budgets tight all around the campus, it appears t hat guaranteed circulation is the only avenue left. Were a minimum of circulation to be guar anteed, it would be possible for Inkling to forego this backing. Circulation could be guaranteed by one plan which Vaughan outlined to cabinet -- a plan which, we feel, not only would be practical for Inkling but also would fit into the educational process at the College. VAUGHAN PROPOSED that the Inkling be made required reading for freshman English Composition classes, which would guarantee a circulation well over 1000 and easily sufficient to support the literary magatine. Such a plan would provide for students reading matter written by students, material which they could use with more assurance than they use the professional literary maga zines. It would give them a chance to see what people of their own age can do in the field of writing, and also would provide them material for critical reading. It certainly would be a great aid to instructors in their work. With the apparent inability to raise funds or find financial backing, the responsibility for giving the Inkling the push it needs now seems to be incumbent upon the English Composion department. We hope the department will see fit to support Penn State's last chance to estab lish a student literary magazine. DAUS & CO. 148 S.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Sports Success The sports program at Rec hall Saturday pro vided the sort of week-end event to which Penn .Staters never will object. It was the first of three week-end programs in which two or more Penn State varsity squads will see action at home. OF PARTICULAR NOTE, aside from team performances, was the conduct of the audience during the boxing matches. Regardless of indi vidual attitudes concerning the prohibition of cheering during the progress of boxing rounds, the audience abided by the rule. In past years, the boxing team has been penalized because of the conduct of students who have insisted on cheering during matcheS. The day's sport program was successful, too, from the angle of grout, spirit. A large seg ment of 'the student body was present at Rec hall at one' time or another during the day to back the efforts of Penn State athletes. And in doing so, they adhered to rules of good sportsmanship. Even West Virginia's Mark Workman, high-scoring basketeer and a dan gerous threat, was not booed mercilessly by State rooters. Success of Penn State sports involves the en thusiasm and support of the student body as well as the assembling of powerful teams. That students showed such enthusiasm Saturday surely must have influenced the attitude of one visitor, a West Point cadet, wh o remarked, "Penn State really has a terrific sports program now."

Campus Restaurant 142 COLLEGE AVENUE Little Man On Campus "Can't you type your lecturenotes after class?" As we might have suspected, there were few suggestions turned in for a name to our column. At least few that weren't derogatory. Feebler minds on the staff came up with ideas like "Up and down the Steinway," "Nittany Notes" or "Under the Ball," a parody on the works of Sporting Editor Koehler, that writer of fictitious arti cles for Collegian's athletic page: WITH THIS QUALITY of genius to work with, we decided to leave the name as it stood. We were undaunted by the student who looked at the column, eyed the picture at the left of the heading "You Name It" and said, "OK, I'll bite what is it?" Ted Williams was reported last week to have signed a 1951 contract for $125,000. We re member reading about the ruckus raised when Babe Ruth once signed for $BO,OOO. Purists screamed, " W h y that's $5,000 more than the President of the United States earns." Nowa days, it seems, a good baseball player can bu y and sell the President. An award for optimism should go to the two students who stood beside a local pool room last week trying to drag in a third member of the group who said he wanted to go home and do some study ing. "We'll only be in there five minutes," they argued. KANSAS NEWSPAPERMEN recently voted President Eisen hower's switch here from Kansas State one of the top ten stories of the year.

Penn Staters evidently feel the same way. Watching a news reel Saturday night, Gen. Dwight Eisenhower appeared on., the screen delivering a re port on his recent tour of Eu rope. A spectator leaned over to his neighbor and whispered informatively, "Did you know that that guy is Milt's brother?" Headline in the New York Times Sunday: "Making the Pub lic Laugh is a Ticklish Business." There must be a better way. A TINY MOUSE was spotted scurrying through a basement corridor of Carnegie. hall last week. Those' who keep track of mice told us it probably came from the Froth office. It was prob ably fleeing for its life. By Bibl r • at,,e
