Each time this season the College has constructed new posts, students, of both the high school and college variety, have contrived to tear them down. With each succeeding week, as the reasons for the destruction of the goal posts became increasingly obscure, student sentiment has ceased to view the affair as a joke. Sensing this sentiment, All-College Cabinet last week unanimously approved a resolution by Tri bunal chairman David Mutchler urg'incestu, dents to refrain from such activity in the future. Mutchler noted the inherent dangers involved in the massing of crowds around the posts, the fights over possession of parts of the posts, the fact that the cost of replacing the posts is met from student funds, etc. He reminded cabinet— and the student body—that two students had been treated for injuries incurred in the skir mish following the West Virginia game. But the Tribunal chairman also contributed a thought not presented before: that the de struction of the posts week after week was the start of a negative tradition, a tradition of dis respect for property, a tradition of wanton de struction, a tradition of the College-be-damned. Mulchleis message was an aopeal - to the reason of Penn State students. The ability of Penn Staters to reason maturely will be on test Saturday afternoon. Football Movie Although sensationally advertised, Saturday's Hero, the movie version of big-time football, is an accurate portrayal of football at its lowest. Saturday's Hero is the story of the kid from the wrong side of the tracks whp is given the opportunity to play football for one of the nation's best colleges. Basically a good student, the boy is turned into a gridiron machine by the pressure of big-time football. The drama becomes a bit maudlin when the hero learns first that he will never be able to play again because of an injury and then that his father has died. We were_expecting to learn next that a mean old banker had foreclosed on the old homestead. Despite this, some obviously faked football, and other weak spots, Saturday's Hero is a grim warning of the damage 'inflicted upon the in dividual by the pressures of over-emphasized athletics.

District Court in Scranton against the Military Ball Committee presents the unusual picture of the federal government taking action against the Penn State military department. , The situation is this: the dance has been run, as far as finances are concerned, by the military department. For that reason the financial end of the operation has not been , going through Associated Student Activities. 'Had the affair been student-run, the com mittee would have been compelled to handle its finances,through ASA. Chances are, too, that had the ASA been handling the finances the Mil Ball committee would not be in hot water now. Although al ' most all of the members of the College military establishment are fairly new to Penn State, their predecessors had been warned that they were breaking. the law by failing to pay the / admission taxes on the tickets. So the current members of the military, and especially Lt. Walter D. Chadwick, U.S.N., named in the action, are being put on the spot for the failure of the men before them to adhere to the tax laws. All student affairs calling for the expenditure of money are handled by the Associated Student' Activities. Such a procedure has guaranteed respdfisible handling of what often amounts to thousands of dollars in cash. There would prob ably be chaos in student financial matters were ' the ASA not in existence. The ASA also guarantees consistency over the years in the handling of the finances. It is the same people year after year who handle the finances. They are familiar with all the details and all the financial pitfalls. For these reasons it would seem io be time for the Mil Ball to turn its finances over to AsSociated Student Activities. Gazette . . .

The Old Millstream With Rudolph Halley's election Tuesday as New York' City council president, television moves into ' a new field• = politicS. , ' Halley went into the election an' underdog to Joseph, Sharkey, the Democratic candidate, and emerged victorious by a smashing 200,000 vote plurality. Why this upset? If you remember, Halley was the nasal-voiced prosecutor for the Kefauver crime investigating committee and appeared on 'the nationally televised programs of the committee's proceedings. ' Halley also used the - .video medium extensively in his cam paign, more extensively than any of the other council president candidates. Most experts believe Halley's popularization through television was an important factor in his upset victory. Thus TV moves into the field of politics. In almost every city with a • television . station, the candidates used the medium in • their campaigns. The Halley upset was just the most start ling example of the influence this new medium • has on the video audience which in New York is larger than in other sections of the country. We can look forward to a fu ture when candidates, with exubl erant TV perscinalities will be sure=fire political bets. There is. no doubt that Halley and his New .York accent has a' tremendous appeal to the average housewife and her spouse. - The 1952 presidential race may very likely be the first election Irs A FACT Seven political partieS have been' established on campus since the inception of the system in November, 1943.
