Cabinet Open
To Student Voices
All-College Cabinet, highest student govern
ment legislative body, will meet for the first
time at 8 tonight in 201 Old Main.
. With 24 members sitting on cabinet, every
member of the student body is represented at
least four times. There is no chance that any
student will fail to find a voice on cabinet.
' Cabinet is, however, always open to all stu
dents. The meeting room is small, but should
there ever be a need for more spectator space,
we feel sure meetings would be held in larger
quarters.
Not only are students always welcome at
cabinet meetings, but they are also free to speak
up and express their opinions at any time, on
any issue. The only thing students cannot do at
the meetings is vote. This responsibility is left
to the members.
But good student government is not the re
sponsibility of the members of cabinet alone.
Good student government is the responsibility
of every student on this campus.
This responsibility includes • questioning can
didates for office, voting in elections, supporting
student government functions, and taking an
interest in the affairs of the governing bodies
themselves.
Student government does not include only
All-College .Cabinet. Interfraternity Council,
the Association of Independent Men, the West
Dorm Council, the living unit councils—these
are all part of Penn State student government.
Each of them merits the interest of students,
for combined their voice is loud, strong—and
effective.
Parking Problems
- Acute in recent years, the lack of parking
- space on campus seems on the verge of col
lapsing into a desperate state this year. We
don't have any idea of the exact figures, but it
'Seems as if there are more cars than ever' be
fore on campus this semester.
Parking space is at a premium, despite ad
ditional parking areas.
At the same time, however, that additional
parking space has been provided, the two-way
• driving scheme now in operation on Pollock
and Shortlidge roads has eliminated space for
possibly 200 vehicles, if not more:
Students and others not authorized on cam
pus with cars can help the situation by leaving
their automobiles at home. But even full co
operation by unauthorized drivers would leave
many without parking space.
Two-way driving on Pollock and Shortlidge
roads has already proved unworkable for week
ends. The elimination of the scheme would also
make additional
.parking space available.
Both these factors should be weighed in any
study of Penn State's traffic problem.
Have You?
If you are not an undergraduate, have not
purchased a subscription, or are not on the
complimentary mailing list, you should riot be
reading this copy of the Daily Collegian.
The Daily Collegian is a student publication.
We are supported by a student fee of $l.lO per
semester.
Faculty and staff members, graduate students;
and secretaries do not contribute to the support
of the Daily Collegian. They do not pay any
fees. They are not entitled to pick up the Daily
Collegian at the Student Union desk or any
place else.
When a non-student, except those otherwise
entitled, picks up a copy of the Daily Collegian
he is depriving a student of something for which
he has shelled out hard cash. Such persons are
no better than pickpockets or those who pick
up a paper at a newsstand and fail to pay for it.
Under a plan introduced this semester, faculty
and staff members, graduate students, and sec
retaries can have the Daily Collegian delivered
to their offices for only $3.75 a year.
Don't cheat the students; buy a subscription.

The Time is Short
(Continued from page one) .
welcomed the support' of an Allen Zoll, boss - of
an outfit called "America Patriots, Inc., cited by
the government for- being fascist and subver
sive, a man cited by the House committee on Un-
American activities as / a "very strong anti
semite," a man whom the American Legion in
1948 cited for "along record of activity in con
nection with . . .dubious outfits of a fascist or
near fascist character . . . "
The purpose of this piece of legislation be
comes only too clear.
So the time is really short for the people of
Pennsylvania.
The time is short, for the passage of the
loyalty bill will sound the death knoll for free
dom as we in Pennsylvania have known it.
We oppose the loyalty bill because it will
destroy the American tradition of free in
quiry and free expression of ideas without
fear of reprisal and intimidation.
We oppose the ,loyalty bill because it
would limit the pursuance of truth in our in
stitutions of higher learning.
We oppose the loyalty bill because it con- r
tributes to the momentum of the hysterical"
landslide of fear that i sweeping the nation.
We oppose the loyalty bill not because we
have any sympathy with the Communists or
their cause, but rather because such legisla
tion plays into the hands of the Communists
in their efforts to undermine our democratic
system.
We oppose the loyalty bill because it comes
at a time when. we should be , broadcasting,
our freedoms to the world rather than adver
tising our fears to people wh'o seek leader
ship, vision, and faith in the democratic
method, and not panic.
Safety Valve--
We Do Not Have . Proper
Athletic Representation
TO THEEDITOR: Tuesday, ,morning in "the
Lion's 'Lair" (the Collegian) sports edito,r, so
aptly once more pointed out to our student body
the fine calibre of Penn State leadership, through
its athletic program, in comparison to other
educational institutidns, in this field. Undoubt
edly corruptness has once more shown its face.
We are told that State's sports program is much
closer to the student : body than in most schools,
especially in basketball which has received the
brunt of sports' most recent scandals.
I am in complete agreement with the writer on
this point and also on the statement that NSA's
declaration and action on the subject taken at
the fourth National Student Congress are
sound. However,.the agreement does not apply
in all points mentioned concerning Penn State.
On one point I must disagree and bring to
the attention of the student body that we are
not fairly represented on our Athletic Board.
Supervision, and promotion of the vast Penn
State intercollegiate program is not handled by
the Athletic Association, who's officers are.
elected by the male students; but by the Ath
letic Advisory Board. Student representation on
this 15-man board is held to three students, the
All-College president, the Athletic Association
president and the Chairman of the Board of
Publications. Since each student pays $9.00 a
semester, 'is three of 15 decent representation?
Is it even a fair representation?
Now is a good time for a change, let's make
one!

Seniors, Warning!
TO THE EDITOR: This letter is written to
inform and warn any reader who may be in
terested in securing a Penn State class ring. ,
Last October I ordered a class ring which
was not delivered until April. The ring was -
only a feeble imitation of a Penn State class
ring, termed "official" in the advertisement
which a jeweler mailed to various unsuspecting
students during the fall months. Truly, the ring
was of inferior quality, considering the price
paid; yet, the jeweler would not cooperate' in
correcting the many imperfections of the ring,
much less accept its return for a refund. Since
there is nothing that can be done legally, I am
just "stuck." If I don't like it, it is simply too
bad, for that is the" way that this firm carries
on• its, business.
Therefore, when any reader receives an ad
vertisement from BANKES BROTHERS
JEWELERS of Blocimsburg, Pa., it would be wise
to consider carefully before dealing with this
aggregation. And investigate before making any
purchase from them so you won't be "taken"
—as I was!

15 YEARS AGO
Sept. 18, 1936—The students favored Landon
to Franklin D. Rosevelt on a straw vote con
ducted by the Collegian during registration. The
results showed Landon received 1.7 votes to
everyone received byßoosevelt,_. •
Dean Charles W. 'StOildard, head of the s School
of Liberal Arts, stated that the new methell,
that of lower division, "has come up to all our
hope and dreams."

It
Says
That horrible mass of broken pencils, -crumpled forms, and
glassy-eyed registrants in Rec Hall , last week was tragic, but it
provided more jokes and stories of frustration than the wartime
Army physical exams.
—Like the girl who put the wrong code number with a course,
crossed it out and wrote it correctly on the next line and pre-
sented her registration form at
the desk, only to be told that
corrections could not be- made:
on the form and she would have •
to drop-add. Five minutes ;Of
pleading *and explaining that 'it
would mean dropping and add
ing the same course was to no
avail until she started, to
scream. At this the officials got
together and decided that per
haps it would be all right just
this once.

A notice fr om the National
Safety Council informs us that the
millionth traffic death in the U.S.
will occur (according to their sta
tistics) during the corning month
of December. Around here the
boys are laying 8 to 5 that it will
be on Pollock Road if we all don't
get used to the new two-way traf
fic and no parking rules.
A man (or something) from
Froth dropped in the. other day
and borrowed some baby things
from the wife. Said that he was
going to use them for the next
issue. We tried to get the con
nection between Froth and babies
(any kind), but had to give it • up.
I guess we'll borrow a copy after
it comes out if we want to find
the link.
