They are the 15 votes opponents of the Pechan loyalty bill needed to defeat the bill in its second reading before the state House of Representatives in Harrisburg. The Pechan bill, which was approved by a narrow margin when it came out of com mittee, will probably be on the agenda of the house for a final vote when the assembly reconvenes Dec. 10. In the meantime, however, students will be going home for Thanksgiving vacation. The vacation is a short one, we know, but it pro vides an opportunity for students to do a service for the College, for the people of Pennsylvania, and for themselves. Speak to your legislator while you are home. In the opinion of many people in Harrisburg, a large number of the representatives who voted for the Pechan bill did so because they did not want to go on record against a bill which on the surface appears only to ask that a public official swear his loyalty to the United States. If your legislator voted for the Pechan bill for this reason, ask him to abstain when the bill comes up for final consideration. Tell him. that the Pechan bill is in reality a thought control bill; tell him that is is opposed by the heads of Penn State, Pennsylvania, Temple, and Pittsburgh, as well as almost every other major college in the state; tell him that it will not catch subversives. ^ Let the voice of the people be heard Blue Band Cheer People may rave about the student bands of Ohio State and Michigan, but we feel that our Blue Band is one of the top bands in collegiate, circles. Saturday, to prove our point, the Blue Band gave one of the best performances we have seen in three years at the College. Few fans can out cheer the band members once they are in the stands—proving that the band isn't finished when it paces off the field. We have always wondered at how the band members could all run in different directions and end up 'in such neat, well-formed lines. A great deal of credit is due James Dunlop, direc tor, and Hummel Fishburn, professor of music. When we think of the large number of fresh men taken into the band this fall, we feel that the campus will see even greater things in the years to come. The semester is only eight weeks old and we have over 40 veteran band members from the freshman class. It is safe to say the band will be better with each performance. Seven leaders in religion and in governmental affairs will come to the College this weekend to participate in a colloquy, "The Loyalty of. Free Men," which will attempt to explore the relev ance of religion to government and to answer the questions students raise relating to this subject. The men chosen are .noted in their respective fields. The subject' is one that is of concern to all of us who have anxiously followed the un- American activities committee investigations and the loyalty oath controversies throughout the country in the past, two or three years. What is the relevance of religion to all this? Religion, if it is to be anything meaningful, must be practicable. It must pervade all our thinking and actions, it must guide and direct our motives. Thus, •religion must be relevant to this sphere, must have something to say which will guide our thinking along these lines. The history of our country, while it forcefully re pudiates the idea of the union of church and state, has always been based on'this assumption. We feel it a logical one. What, exactly, is the relation between re ligion and government? The colloquy this weekend will attempt to answer this question, at least in part. We feel that attending such a colloquy would be of great benefit to college students, who are at an age where they are just be ginning or are about to begin to assume the role of citizens of our country. —LaVonne .Althouse Gazette ...

A senior girl doesn't want to sound too eager on her second date." • .- Ed-Group Discusses School Role , A panel of education seniors dig cussed the importance of "Strengthening Our Schools for the Long Pull Ahead" at a Fu ture Teachers of America meet ing Wednesday night. The discussion group, which was a phase of American Educa tion Week, tried to answer two questions: "What is likely to characterize th e next two de cades of American life?" an d "What is the implication of these facts to public education?" The panel said that America will probably be engaged in a cold war for 20 or 30 years. This means that many young people will be drafted. The panel said that the United States, therefore, must conserve its human and nat ural resources,' strengthen it s democratic beliefs, and raise the standard of living' in backward countries. Education's role, according to the group, will be to improve its public school guidance service and stress, through - teaching, con servation of n a tur al resources and, through practice, democracy: "Assignment Tomorrow," a mo tion picture • produced by Na tional Education Association, em phasized the need for teacher who are well trained and well supported.
