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.

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."

"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.

congratulated Penn State on
choosing such a "clear-thinking"
man, with high principles based
on a sound spiritual back
ground."
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

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.
