'Activities' Charge
Against College
Will Serve None
Monday's move by the American Legion ask
ing Governor Fine to investigate the "un-Amer
ican influences and activities on the campus of
the Pennsylvania State College" is another at
tempt by the disappointed backers of the very
sterile "loyalty oath" that booted itself around
the State Legislature this past spring.
It is with people just such as those who back
ed the oath that "look under the bed, quick!"
campaigns start.
Should the Governor do the 23rd district of
the AmeriCan Legion the honor (and the Col
lege the dishonor) to institute such an investi
gation,, no purpose would be served that could
not have been served quietly, professionally,
and completely by the College itself with the
cooperation of the proper authorities.
The charge of "un-American activities" takes
the tone of a smear campaign when consid
!red•quietly and sensibly. The real way to trap
subversives and uncover bad influences is quiet
ly, without alarming the quarry. The tack
taken by the local Legion will serve as nothing
but bad .publicity for the College.
Another weak point in the investigation re
quest is the statement that a "partial expose" of
un-American activities was made about a year
ago. What this ,partial expose was, there is no
mention. Most of us who were here a year ago,
will be hard put to remember any incident that
could be built up into a "partial expose of un-
American activties" by our investigation con
scious friends.
The College will probably do nothing by way
of rebuttal, realizing that little could happen on
campus that would be known to the "campaign
ers" and not the administration. The College
is in a better position to see bad influences and
is more capable of dislocating them.
However, in the eyes of some present-day
philosopher (name unknown) Penn State has
finally made the grade;
"Is there a man (or institution) with soul •
so dead,
That he has never been called a red?"

Election Decree
, Is Step Forward
The recent decree by the Centre County court
that changed the manner of naming 12 of the
College Trustees may not mean too much to
some students but it is an important step for
the industrial interests of Pennsylvania.
Since the establishment of the College, the
agricultural interests of the state have con
•, trolled the election of the greatest number of
trustees.
This is not in criticism of the agricultural in
terests or their electees, but merely a legal
step recognizing the increased importance of
industry, mining, engineering, and the mechan
ical fields.
Always a great agricultural center, Penn State
has recently taken its place among the greater
Mechanical schools of the country.
One of the most concrete recognitions of that
fact is the increase of representation of industry
on the College Board of Trustees.
Having these men on the board in the future
will balance the sometimes opposed interests of
industry and agriculture and probably elimi
nate some of the "bickering" charged by the
proponents of the measure.
