Thefts Threaten
News Agency in WD
For a week, light-fingered students have
separated the Student News Agency from about
between $6 and $7 of its cash. Since the thefts
started, almost $5O have been taken from the
agency’s West Dorm newsstand. •-
Chances are that the number of students in
volved in the thievery is small. It is possible
■ that the thefts may be traced to, just one
person. Whoever is responsible for the thefts
is not now the important thing. What is im
' portant is that unless the thefts slop, the SNA
will be forced to discontinue its operations.
The agency will be forced to discontinue its
operations because at the current rate it is
losing more than it is making. And that just is
not good business.
Right now the agency is—because of the
thefts —“giving away” about 130 newspapers
every day. That cannot go on indefinitely.
The more romantic among us might be in
clined to look at the thieves as modem Robin
Hoods—the poor stealing from the rich—were
the agency a commercial venture. But it is not.
The agency is student-operated, providing em
ployment for about 15 students. The profits—
which are far from fantastic —pay the wages
of the student employes. So the thieves are only
taking money out of the pockets of other stu
dents.
The agency was started as a service to
students, 'By placing newspapers at strategic
points, the agency hoped to make daily news
papers easily accessible to all students. Busi
ness has been good—as the thieves can testify
—and the agency has provided a long-needed
service to students.
But the agency will discontinue operations
if the thefts continue. -West Dorm residents
can help the agency—and themselves —if they
are alert, if they keep a vigilant eye, and turn
in those who have been lifting from the till.
AIM Has Made
A Good Start
Realizing its defects last year and working
hard to overcome them, the Board of Governors
of the Association'of'lndependent Men has im
proved its organizational procedure to such an
extent that the board will have its first full
business meeting tonight weeks ahead of its
initial meeting last fall.
With the completion of West Dorm elections
last- night, each of AlM’s four councils is or
ganized and in operating condition. Last year,
Town Council held up board organization for
at least a month, but this fall Town Council
was one of the first councils to be set up. This
was mainly due to. the introduction of the Dean
of Men’s male housing card file instituted by
AIM in cooperation with Interfraternity council
and the dean’s office.
This week also marks two AIM innovations.
First, Niltany, Pollock, and Town Councils
have set up window displays in over 20
downtown stores. The displays feature Home
coming and Pennsylvania Week themes and .
are similar to IFC's Homecoming lawn dis
plays.
Second, AIM will sponsor its first alumni
dance in the West Dorm main lounge Saturday
night in honor of independent alumni and their
guests.
Later this semester, AIM plans to take to the
radio waves for the first regular broadcast
sponsored by a governmental body at Penn
State. Also, AlM’s male housing card file sys
tem has helped all students and student organi
zations immensely since its inception several
weeks ago.
So AIM starts off the semester with its best
foot forward. And if AIM continues its wise
policy of profiting by past mistakes, as it did
with last year's Town Council debacle, we
predict a 'successful, fruitful year for the
independent men's governing body.

Women’s Election
Is More Organized
In the spring the WSGA-WRA election codes
were changed. The mass nomination meeting
where sorority sister nominated sorority sister
and best friends praised best friends was eli
minated. Instead each candidate must now file
her own nomination petition and appear before
a nominating board for screening. She "is a
better candidate for having been informed, by
the board, of the responsibility she will assume
if elected.
Elections have become more organized. The
women have been given an ample opportunity •
to know who the candidates are through
housemeeiings and special posters containing
photographs of all nominees. The old com
plaint, "I don't know who is running," is no
longer valid.
The elections have been publicized enough
so that there is no excuse for not knowing when
the elections are to take place. The polls will re
main open long enough for everyone to vote.
In spite of the conveniences provided for the
voters, many coeds will fail to cast a ballot.
This failure can be attributed to nothing but a.
sheer lack of interest or initiative.
It would seem that students would want the
best people possible to present their problems to
the governing ,bodies, which have a much more
immediate contact with the administration
when important questions arise. .
Tomorrow final elections will be held. Those
women interested in better government will
cast their ballots.
Hidden Returns
Today, the Daily Collegian announced the
winners of the Women’s Recreation Associa
tion’s and Women’s Student Government Asso
ciation’s primaries.
The number of votes received by each candi
date was not released, by either organization
“so that no one!s feelings would be hurt.”
Neither WSGA nor WRA is a clandestine
group. Both are represented on All-College
Cabinet. Women have the right to see 'how
many votes were received by the leaders who
will govern their lives, especially in the dorms.
The figures should not be hidden just ,so a
few women, who entered the elections as a
matter of choice, will not get,their feelings
hurl:
Washington Tour
On Oct. 28, 29, and 30 the Penn State
Christian - Association, in cooperation with the
Political Science department and the. School of
Education, will sponsor another of the annual
“See Your Government in Action” seminars in
Washington for students and faculty members
of the College. '
The purppse of the tour, according to the
seminar "brochure, is “to see at first-hand the
machinery of government at work; to have
interviews with senators and representatives,
to sit in on committees and sessions of - the
Senate and House, and to study at first-hand
the work of specialized departments such as
the State Department, UNESCO, the Supreme
Court; Mediation and Conciliation Board, etc.”
This is an opportunity for college students
to see democracy in action. Arrangements have
been made to interview some top government
officials and to see the workings of important
agencies of national and international govern
ment. The cost is approximately $25 dollars,
including transportation and registration.
Isn't it worth considering?

We saw .a monkey this weekend. Maybe that doesn’t -sound like
much of a weekend to you, but we had never seen a monkey before,
so it was quite an event. The, monkey seemed rather unimpressed
in general. ' • \
As is sometimes, our habit, we were calling on Friend Coed one
evening. Upon being invited into the living room, we came face to
/
face with the monkey. Things
happened fast for a moment. We
started back out the door, and
the monkey climbed on its own
er’s head, chattering furiously
and hurling nasty words at our
departing back. .
We were persuaded ;to return
only on assurance‘that the mon
key was securely chained. We
needed have' no fears, however,
for the monkey, was, as fright
ened of us as we were of it. The
strained conversation, for the next
few minutes 'was 'carried oh with
the monkey, peering at us around
the owner’s eiar. The monkey,
and owner,- were also calling at
Friend Coed’s house.
Eventually, we became bold
er, seeing that the monkey had
no more intention of getting
close to us than we had of get
ting close to it.
“The poor thing’s afraid of us,”
we said in a condescending man
ner. “Why?”
Feet scuffled self-consciously
and eyes refused to meet ours.
Everyone was evading the ques
tion, it seemed. Finally we
changed to ' subject, and talk
once more brightened up.
The monkey’s name was Chip
per, and he was of the small
black-faced variety k n o,w n as

seems, the Humboldt’s Wooly has

by aborigines or eaten by alli
gators. We remarked that this
wasn’t much of a choice, and the
monkey seemed quick to agree.
Chipper, 'it developed, was
less than a year old, but had
already had several hair-rais
ing experiences j along culinary
lines. And to the completely
hirsute, wooly monkey, a hair
raising experience can be quite
atrial.
So a pleasant, hour was spent
conversing, around the monkey.
Incidentally, if you have neyer
seen a monkey, they are, from
our observation, small with black
faces and protruding ears. They
need either a shave or haircut,
depending on your own view
point, and they have no legs or
feet, merely two sets of hands
and arms. ...
Eventually, monkey and
owner, had. to leave,, and we
told. them how much we had
enjoyed the conversation.'.We
still wondered, however, why
the conversation had wilted
every time we asked why the:
monkey was afraid of us.
Pausing in the front yard for
a moment to survey the moon,
we. heard hysterical laughter
from the car, including some
weird noises we assumed to be
monkey yaks. " ' F ‘
“How could I tell him,” the
owner’s voice chortled, “That
