Sunday Movies Are
A Student Concern
If you were a regular churchgoer, would
Sunday movies keep you from attending
religious services? Similarly; if you were
not a churchgoer, would the lack of movies
on Sunday make you attend church?
The answers to these questions seem fairly
obvious to us. Therefore, we see no reason- for
opposing Sunday movies in State College when
the issue comes to a vote today.
Of course, very few Penn State students will
be able to vote in the State College elections.
Just the same, the student body is a majoi: seg
ment of the community, and its views should
be taken into consideration. We, therefore. feel
it is necessary that the student body talk to
friends and merchants in State College and let
them know exactly how they feel, one way or
another, on the issue.
The main opposition to the proposal naturally
stems from the churches in town. These
churcheS have been lobbying all week at special
meetings against Sunday films. We feel that
these religious institutions are going to have to
realize that barring members of a group from
doing a certain thing is riot going to make them
ardent churchgoers. -
Fifty and 75 years ago, reading, except for
the Bible, cardplaying, and singing were for
bidden on Stindays. But times have changed,
and as we prOgress, we learn that we cannot
change a person's personal opinions by limiting
his freedom to do what he wishes to do.
The same goes for Sunday movies, If a person
can't see a Sunday film in State College, he or
she will go to the Drive-in or to a neighboring
town where movie's are .showing on Sunday.
We feel that Sunday movies would do no
harm in State College: But no matter what our
opinion is, we think that , the views, pro or .
con, of the College students should have some
influence on Tuesday's : voting. 'After all, we
are State College residents for nine months
of each year. • —Moylan Mills
Dean Warnock
With the death of Arthur R. Warnock, dean of
men emeritus, the College has lost one of its
most beloved and revered personalities.
The 67-year-old ex-dean retired two years ago
from official College life but never during those
years did his interest in the students lag.
He was partictilarly a champion of the college
fraternity system. Last year he was named
chairman of the National Interfraternity, Con
ference, a partial recognition of his work in the
fraternity field. He could well be called "Mr.
Fraternity." ' '
Dean Warnock's activities were so wide
and varied that it would be impossible to re
cord'them here. Suffice it to say that for all
he has done for Penn State and the community
of State' College, he will never be forgotten.

Don't Let Chest,
Blood Drives Fail
Penn Staters are now being asked to con
tribute to the annual blpod drive and to donate
to the Campus Chest. \
Neither of the drives has been especially
successful. As of yesterday, the blood drive
had netted fewer than 400 pints, some 200
short of the goal. The Chest solicitations were
doing even more poorly. Yesterday only $2750
had been reported to Chest headquarters. The
Chest goal is $12,000.
While the poor showing of the blood drive
can be blamed on the apathy of the student
body, the failure of" the Chest campaign to date
can be directly traced to the failure of Chest
solicitors to contact students.
Regardless of the reasons for the poor show
ings •made thus far, neither of the drives should
be allowed to fall below their goals.
The bloodmobile drive has been extended
until Thursday. Pledge forms may be secured
at the Student Union desk in Old Main, the
TUB, the West Dorm Main Lounge, the wo
men's dormitories, and 112 Old Main. The , blood
you give will be rushed to Korea.
• In the meantime, the Campus Chest, which
serves nine worthy organizations with one drive
for funds, will make an attempt to contact all
students. We feel certain that once students are
contacted, they will come through generously.
Penn State cannot afford to fail in either of
these drives.
UN Assembly
The sixth meeting of the United Nations
General Assienbly is scheduled to open today
in Paris feel' that the Soviets' 88th attempt to
dog-eat-dog affair between the West and the
East remains to be seen. There are, of course,
several problems of tremendous portent, the
solution of which could add substantially to
world peace.
Up for examination at the sixth session will
be the Soviet-sponsored seating of Communist
China,(a move by the United States for super
vision and control of atomic power, and discus
sions on tensions in the Middle East. Observers
Bin Pari sfeel that the Soviets' 88th attempt to
seat the Chinese Reds will fare no better than
the 87 previous tries.
Other major problems the UN may have to
tackle in this session are the unification of Ger
many and difficulties arising out of an armistice
in Korea—if either is brought up for debate at
this time.
Some of the issues will be touched upon
tomorrow night when President Truman al.
dresses the nation with a speech on foreign
polidy. But , whether much progress will be
made at the sixth General Assembly to ease
the tense international situation is a decision
that rests mostly with Moscow.

"Think we should pass the plate again, Professor Snarf? Some of
the students are kicking 'bout the extra tuition."
Daily Half Colyum-By A. R. W.
(Reprinted froM yesterday's Centre Daily Times)
(Editor's Note: The following Half Colyum was written Dec. 2, 1956,
by ARW, to be used in case he missed. a Times' deadline. Until his
sudden death yesterday, he. maintained a perfect record and so
there was no need to use it before today. Across the top of the copy,
ARW wrote: "For the issue of the
day ,on which ARW misses a
deadine.")
I have a confession to make,
and my face is red, and much!
I missed the deadline today. That
is, I didn't get the copy for to
day's column in on time to get
into today's paper.
Editor Jerry Weinstein will tell
you that this is the first time that
that haS happened in all the years,
in all the happy years, during
which he has been connected with
this paper. To the best of my
recollection it is the first time
it has happened in, nearly 26
years. c
*
I've had some close calls. When
I lived on the campus, at mid-,
night - occasionally I'd suddenly re
call, sleepy and half ready for
bed, that I had not' taken next
day's column down to the news
paper office. So I'd dress again,
and take it down—often on a
cold, icy, snowy, rainy, blustery,
calm moonlit night.
One time when I was going out
of town from my Puddintown
home—that was when I lived in
Puddintown and had not yet
moved to Tahiti where there ain't
no cold and there ain't no snow—
I put, next day's column in the
inside pocket of my brown suit,
' planning to drop it off at the news
paper office on my way out of
town. When I was halfway to
Harrisburg, I suddenly woke up
to the fact—almost darting the car
into a ditch as I did so—that I
still had next day's column,with
me. Later in the afternoon wen I
arrived in Harrisburg I went to
the postoffice and bet Uncle Sam
that if I put the column into a
government stamped envelope,
PAGE 'Mtm..e.
By Bibler
and put a special delivery_ stamp
on it, his postal system wouldn't
get it to State College in time
to beat next day's deadline,—but
Uncle Sam won that bet. I didn't
miss that deadline.
Of course I don't know the rea
son why I missed today's dead
line. For you see, what you are
reading was written some time
ago, and has been on deposit in
Jerry's desk, waiting like an old
dog who had heard in its youth
that •"every dog has its day."
Anyway, to say it again, I've
busted a perfect record. I've
missed a deadline.
