Rule off 'Mark'
(Continued from pagq one)
runner-up is not • qualified to compote in the
national tournament?
The , case of Jerry IVlaurey further illustrates
the weakness of the committee's ruling. Maurey
went to the finals in the East before bowing to
George Feuerbach, of Lehigh. who is rated as
the best wrestler to come out of the East in' the
past 20 years. Maurey is one of the best wrest
lers developed in Pennsylvania. He was un
beaten through four years of high school com
petition, winning four state titles. Last year he
represented the United States in the Pan-Amer
ican games, going to the finals before he dropped
the first match of his career. His loss to Feuer
bach was only the second of his life..
Does the Senate committee feel that Jerry
Maurey is not qualified to compete in the
national tournament?
Almost as strong cases could be made out
for Tony Flore and Bob Lawrence.
But Prof. Franklin L. Bentley, chairman of
the Senate committee on athletics, says the
committee had to "set some mark" by which to
guide its decisions on who is .to go to the na
tional tournaments:
The committee has set its mark: it is the win
ning of an Eastern title.
In setting its "mark" the committee has
missed the mark—by a mile, as the records
show, for an Eastern title is not the only guide
on the ability of an athlete to stand the test
of national competition.
Apparently the holding of any Eastern title
is not the only "mark" the committee has
set. Bentley said yesterday, that the distance
of the tournaments from State College was
also a factor. So we now have a rule on ath
letic competition which says that ability to
compete is relative to the distance an athlete
has to travel to compete.
Barring financial difficulties, which Bentley
'says did not enter into the considerations of the
committee, the distance an athlete has to travel
-in order to be entered in a national tournament
'should not be a factor in deciding whether 'he
is to be entered or not.
The criterion should be the ability of the
athlete to stand up in national competition,
with the decision to be made by the coach,
the graduate manager of athletics, and the dean
of the School of Physical Education and Ath
letics, subject to the approval of the Senate
committee.
This rule says in effect: we have no faith in
the judgment of these three men to select those
athletes who should compete in the nationals.
If we judge the temper of the student body
correctly, this decision does not sit well with
them. We feel that we speak for the students
when we say that the decision is cheating
these athletes of an opportunity they have
earned and is cheating the wrestling team of
a chance to gain national recognition.
The Daily Collegian has learned that entries
for the boxing and wrestling tournaments can
still be made. The wrestling squad - leaves for
Colorado at 5 p.m. tomorrow, so the time to
change the policy is shOrt.
We feel that we echo the sentiments of the
overwhelming majority of the students when
we urge the Senate committee on athletics
to reverse its decision and ret u r n to the
policy which has guided its actions in the past.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE ALLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Avoid Theft,
To
Be
More Careful!
The loss of $3OO by a Plnn State coed who
left the money in her coat while she was in a
classroom should serve as a warning to other
students that they cannot take chances with
valuable property.
It is regrettable that such a warning, must
be issued to students, for it is a sad commen
tary on the student .body. The warning says
in effect: there is enough thievery among the
student body to warrant extreme caution in
the handling of valuables.
The loss of the $3OO by the coed is not an
isolated case. Coats and books have been dis
appearing with regularity from hallways. Thefts
in fraternity houses have been numerous.
The first: step to avoid theft is a bit more
care in handling valuables. The careless person
plays right into the hands of the thief. .
A second step is alertness on the part of
students. The person wandering through halls,
poking his way through coats, and acting sus
piciously should be held in suspicion by stu
dents.
The student whO has not been a victim of
these thefts has just as much to lose as those
who have already been victimized,' for he
might well be the next to pay.
Care and alertness on the part of students
would make the hunting of these thieves more
difficult and would cut down on the number of
victims.

General Douglas MacArthur made another speech Saturday,
this time before a joint session , of the Mississippi legislature. In
these days of presidential primaries and attempts to discredit the
political opposition, it is not surprising that the general was critical
of almost every phase of the administration's foreign and domestic
policies..
•
• The general delved deeply in
up with the same results he has
expressed again and again. He
still believes the war would have
ended sooner if the United States
had used its military forces more
effectively against the Chinese
Communists. He suggested that
the- Chinese Nationalists on For
mosa, if they had been deployed
on the' mainland,. would have
saved many American lives. And
he minces very few words over,
the truce talks and sums up that
the talks have *given the foe time
to strengthen his forces.
However, the action has been
taken and the administration
seems intent, on maintaining the
policy which was started
months ago.
Next, the general asserts that
the administration is guiding the

it is here that he has taken the.
wrong train and arrived at the
wrong station. The only •:value'
such a statement can have is -in
its pure emotional propaganda
appeal. The general has tossed a
red herring. •
More to the point, towards the
end of his speech, the-general in
speaking of the leadership of the
present administration said:
"As it tears down our structure
of Constitutional liberty, it• rears
the threat of converting us into 'a
military state."
To many the last two words
have taken on a grave signifi-`
cance. The United Stateg has
