the individual.

13 Fire Victims
Report Losses
Complete insurance figures
have been received by the dean'
of men's office concerning 13 of
the 15 Gentzel fire victims who
applied for assistance.
Two of the men who applied
for assistance failed 'to meet the

30 Students Ask
For Closer Check
On Party Platforms
Approximately 30 students,
who attended the advisory meet
ment Sunday night in 409 Old
Main,. thought that there should
be a closer check on each par
ty's fulfillment of its platform.
The meeting, moderated by
Ray Evert, Lion Party clique
chairman, was dominantly at
tended by Lion Party members.
However, there were a few State
Party members at the non-parti
san meeting.
Group Discusses Problems
The group considered the prob
lem of whether politics should
enter into All-College Cabinet
debates. Some thought that there
should; be more politics in cabi
net, as a check on the fulfillment
on party platforms.
The group favored having the
Daily Collegian print the party
affiliation of the elected voting
members of All-College Cabinet
when they are mentioned in a
story.
Student apathy was considered
one of the biggest obstacles to
overcome in campus politics. It
was suggested that students be
educated on the subject by hav
ing more door to door canvassing
and by working through such
campus organizations as the Asso
ciation of Independent Men,
Leonides, Interfraternity Coun
cil, and Panhellenic Council.
Consists Mostly of Freshmen
The group believed that work
of this nature would give stu
dents a more objective outlook
on student government. To edu
cate freshmen, work through
the counselor system was recom
mended,
Members of the group, consist
ing primarily of freshmen, pro
posed that a meeting be held next
Sunday with leaders from the
Lion and State parties co-chair
ing the discussion so that a more
objective and non-partisan out
look can be obtained on the
problems of student government.
2d Vote Taken
On Revision
West Dorm Council last night
voted for the second time to ap
prove an amendment to its con
stitution that would permit coun
cil members to miss two meet
ings without sending an alternate.
Previously the constitution per
mitted members to miss only one
meeting under the same con
ditions.
Members who miss more than
the permitted number of meet
ings without sending a repre
sentative lose their seats on the
council., Proposed amendments to
the constitution must be read at
two meetings of the .council be
fore a vote is taken.
The amendment now goes back
to the dormitory units for final
approval before it becomes law.
Two-thirds of the units must pass
the proposed amendment by a
majority vote within the next
two weeks, as specified in the
constitution.
Richard Mills, council presi
dent, appointed Raymond Meyer
as chairman of a committee to in
vestigate the possibilities of hold

Open Letter Claims
'Moral Breakdown'
Colleges today are doing a better job of training the intelligence
than developing character, the Rev. John Peabody, chairman of
Religion-in-Lae Week, said yesterday in an open letter to students.
The weakness of such characterless training has been revealed
in the obvious moral breakdown in college life, in the basketball
fixes, the widespread prevalence of cheating, and the poor moral
'tone of much of college social life,
the Rev. Peabody pointed out.
Most of the dilemmas students
get into 'are caused by the fact that
they have no real goals, he said.
We are not training men to live
if they have failed to face the
ultimate question for every hu
man being, "Is there a God?" 'he
added.
This year's R e l i g i o n-in-Life
Week program has been designed
to offer students the opportunity
to be taught• values instead of
only facts,• the only thing colleges
usually offer, the Rev. Peabody
said.
The five leaders in Protestant
and Jewish circles visiting the
campus this week, Dr. Albert T.
Mollegen, Dr. John Dillenberger,
Rabbi Arthur J. Lelyveld, Dr. An
drew T. Roy and Will Herberg,
are some of the top men In the
fields of theology . a n d religious
ethics, the Rev. Peabody added.
"Make it your business to hear
what they have to say," he said.
Airline Calls
Moshannon
'lnadequate'
The Black Moshannon Airport,
offered on lease to the College re
cently for $1 a year, has been de
clared inadequate by All-Ameri
can Airways President Robert M.
Love.
The airline official, in response
to an inquiry from the Centre
Daily Times, said that the short
haul type service which his air
line offers can only "be fully ben
eficial if there is a comparatively
limited giound haul."
Albert H. Wessel, district engi
neer for the Civil Aeronautics Ad
ministration, concurred and said
the State College Air Depot site is
the most satisfactory to 'give Cen
tre County dependable airline
service.
The airport 'problem will' be
discussed at a general town
meeting in the State College
High School auditorium Thurs
day night.
"A few years ago, the CAA's
economic study of airline traffic
potentials . . showed that State
College has a large traffic poten
tial created to a great extent by
Pennsylvania State Coll e g e,"
Wessel said.
Major improvements would be
required at the Black Moshannon
field, the CAA official said, before
