`3OO Seats' Plan
Can Create 11l .Will
The 'most important item on the agenda for
tonight's session of All-College Cabinet will be
the discussion of • the Recreation Hall seating
plan suggested by Dean Ernest B. McCoy.
All groups represented on Cabinet which hold
regular meetings have given a great deal of
their time to discussing the problem. Some have
favored the plan, others have turned it down.
Just how the final vote will go on cabinet
remains to be seen.
Basically, the plan is a good idea. No one par
ticularly likes to see alumni, faculty, grad stu
dents, or townspeople barred from indoor ath
letic events held in Rec Hall. Under McCoy's
plan, 300 tickets for admission to these events
would be made available to these groups. Ap
proximately 150 tickets are now being distrib
uted to team members and certain other per
sons. According to the proposal, tickets already
being given out would be included in the 300
seats.
We'd like to see as many alumni, faculty,
and grad students as possible admitted to in
door events, but not when their admission
will prevent students from seeing these
events. Dean McCoy, basing his statement on
second hand information, has said that at
few events last year was every seat in Rec
Hall filled. It's a shame to have these seats
go to waste, he said:
It is a shame to have seats go to, waste in
Ree Hall, but there were probably no more
than two or three times last year when all
the seats were not taken and hundreds of peo
ple weren't standing. As long as there is not
enough room to handle the student body at
Penn State, tickets should not be sold to virtual
outsiders.
Actually, there is no authority for distributing
the 150 tickets that are now being given out.
What guarantee can be offered that should
the 300 seats proposal be passed no more than
300 seats will be sold?
Dean McCoy has never seen an athletic event
in Rec Hall. He has frankly admitted that his
proposal is being offered solely on the basis of
second hand information. Perhaps the dean
should withdraw his request for awhile; and
give himself an opportunity to study the situa
tion first hand.
Passage of the proposal can create good
will with the faculty, townspeople, etc., but
it would undoubtedly create such ill will on
the part of students who, after all, have paid
an athletic fee which entitles them to attend
all athletic events. If any students are to be
denied admission to Rec Hall because their
place has been sold to someone else, the plan
should be defeated.
The seating plan proposal is one of the most
important questions cabinet has had to face so
far this semester. The meeting should be very
interesting for those concerned enough to at-
tend.
Support the Team
A huge bonfire at tomorrow's pep rally will
be one of the highlight's of "Beat Pitt Week."
it will be the first bonfire held on campus for
many years, and it will be the last if students
allow themselves to be carried away in gather
ing material for the• fire.
There is plenty of scrap wood lying about
campus and State College. There is no need
for students to ransack College buildings in
order to prdvide firewoOd. Such actions will
only result in the prohibition of future bonfires.
It is hoped that tomorrow's pep rally will
be the biggest and best to hit Penn State
for many years. Certainly State has a team
which deserves boisterous student backing.
And the team needs evidence of student sup
port to build a fighting spirit strong enough
to beat Pitt Saturday.
Tomorrow has been designated "Blue and
White Day." To our knowledge it is the first
such event on campus. Students have been re
quested to wear blue and white tomorrow. This
is not asking too much of a student body which
has its best football team in years.
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Elections Committee
Showed Alertness
One of the background organizations during
a campus election .is the All-College elections
committee. This committee sets the rules for
the election and the campaigns of both parties.
This year, we feel the elections committee
was alert at all times. Evidence of this could
be seen in the way it handled the final clique
meetings. The committee set up a system for
entrance into the final meetings and the
system was carried out.
To be admitted to the final clique meeting,
a person's name had to appear on a list that
had been submitted to the elections committee.
In all cases that we observed, no one was ad
mitted to.the meeting unless his name appeared.
The committee further demonstrated its effi
ciency when it clamped down on the wearing
of sandwich signs. And finally, the committee
penalized 'each Lion Party candidate 15 votes
because the party accepted more than the al-_
lotted $35 .in donations.
Effective regulation improves elections on
campus. If the regulatory bodies set up by All-
College Cabinet can perform as well as did the
elections committee, we would consider our so
called student government a much more effec
tive unit. We think students would share the
same opinion.
Let's hope the elections committee is just
as effective when the more important All-
College elections roll - around in the spring.

Safety Valve
Dorm Complaints Voiced
TO THE EDITOR: Recently there has been
a lot of adverse criticism about the conduct of
the residents of the Nittany-Pollock area. How
ever, before prejudging these students, take a•
look at the conditions under which they are
forced to live.
Many of the freshmen who for various rea
sons had no chance to visit the campus before
this fall, were entirely misled by the College's
dormitory pamphlet. They were not told that
these Nittany-Pollock dormitories were tempor
ary buildings and were also over a mile away
from most of their classes. The slight difference
in rent (about $1.15 a week between Nittany
and West Dorms) did not indicate the vast
difference in accommodations between the West
Dorms and the temporary dorms.
Among the inconveniences faced by the aver
age Nittany-Pollock resident, noise during study
hours is a small one. In many .dorms in the
area the keys to all the doors are interchange
able. Those doors that cannot be opened by
someone else's key can be opened very easily
by sliding a card through the door by the lock.
Nobody's, belongings are safe from vandalism
and robbery. Janitorial service is almost non
existent. The flies from the nearby chicken
coops helped make life miserable for residents
up until November. On top of all of these in
conveniences are the lack of proper laundry
and recreational facilities.
A great many students in the Nittany-Pollock
area would like the College to do one of two
things, lower the rent to a point where there
is an appreciable difference between Nittany-
Pollock and West Dorm's rent, or release them
from their one year agreement so that they
can look for rooms in town.

Interpreting the News

Associated Press News Analyst
A good many delegates to the United Nations are beginning
to express concern at the growing tendency of the United States to
reject out-of-hand all suggestions except its own for approaching
the knotty problems before the General Assembly.
Another fagot was added to this fire Monday by the U.S. expres
sion of dissatisfaction with the Indian proposal on Korea almost
before anyone had had a chance
for a good look at it.
India propose d, primarily,
that. a four nation group be set
up to supervise voluntary re
turn of war prisoners, with a
decision to be made later about
the disposal of those who re
fused to go home. India sug
gested Poland, Czechoslovakia.
Sweden, and Switzerland, but
left the way open for a change
in this lineup. The U.S. said a
commission of two Communist
and two non-Communist coun
tries couldn't work and in ef
fect, though unofficially through
an anonymous spokesman who
could be overruled if develop-•
ments warranted it, rejected the
whole thing.
The U. S. wanted to let other
nations know promptly what its
attitude would be so there would
be no headlong swing to the pro
posal by the small nations. '
Delegates were quick to pOint
out, however, that the Unit e d
States only irritated a lot of peo
ple, while if it had stood back and
let Russia do the rejecting, as she
has been doing with such propos
als all along, some political hay
might have been made.
Some of the small nations, es
pecially Canada, have been pretty
close to India in working up the
new resolution. The British Com= .
monwealth nations showed clearlY

that they were glad to have a new
approach and were willing to con
sider it. They think there are
things in the new proposal worth
discussing.
Many of the delegations which
feel this way were among the
sponsors of the original .21 na
tion resolution, offered by - the
U S., to endorse the Panmun
jom program and the stand on
war prisoners.
Observers felt Tuesday that
this 21 nation stand had now
been damaged, that some of the
nations might actually go along
with India if it comes to voting.
The United States, of course, is
operating on what now seems to
be the obvious theory that the
Communists have no intention of
reaching a truce agreement, that
the prisoner issue is merely a peg
on which to hang their intransi
gence, and that even' if it were
eliminated something else would
be made to serve.
India and some others in the
UN have not yet come around
to this view. They still think it
possible to do business with the
Comxnunists. They may all be wet.
But as lona as the situation per
sists, the Soviet can use such is
sues to emphasize the differences
in world thought, and any little
mistakes among the Allies makes
more room for the Communist
wedge.
