PAGE TWO Cost of Independent Is Exaggerated—Rau Richard Rau, editor of the Independent, yesterday said the first five issues of the Independent cost the Association of Independent Men and Leonides a total of $92.72. ' This amount is far less the $5O per issue figure that Melvin Rubin, AIM publications chair man, quoted in yesterday's Daily Collegian. Rau said, "The statements is sued by Rubin are based only partly on fact." Costs of supplies, which Rau estimated at $2O, must be added to the $92.72 figure, which was obtained from a total printing cost of $289 minus $196.28 worth of advertising. "Jumped the Gun" Thomas Kidd, who moved in the Wednesday AIM Board of Gover nors meeting that they cease pub lication of the Independent, said he did so "because I heard the action was to be taken in the near future and thought the AIM Board should be thinking it over before the publications committee report was presented." He explained that no matter who made the motion it would have come as a shock, and that he "jumped the gun" on the pub lications committee so the board would have time to consider the matter before taking action. ' Kidd said that he is "not against the Independent, and that as far as he is concerned, the Independ ent is the best independent publi cation in the country." Next Issue Dec. 12 In explaining his action was only a move to give the Inde pendent fair consideration by all members of the board, he said "just because 'I made the motion doesn't mean I'm in favor of the action." Rau has said the next issue of the Independent will be published Dec. 12. An estimate by Melvin Rubin, chairman and at present the only member of the publica tions committee, indicated the committee report will not be ready until after that time. Kidd's motion has been tabled until the publications committee studies the matter and ,presents its re port. William Shifflett, AIM presi dent, said the motion came as a surprise to him and should have been given more thought. He ex pressed personal approval of the job being done by the Independent and added that Vivian Peterson, Leonides president, thinks the publication is' doing a good job and that there may be room for improvement, but the motion was entirely uncalled for. AIM and Leonides sponsor the Independent. Last year AIM paid two-thirds of the cost of the publication and Leonides one-third. Nudorf Does Good Job • Rau commented that he was "glad the publications committee has finally condescended to dis cuss the publication with me. It is something that should have been done before issuing half-true statements." Rau added, "Costs of publica tion in past years have run fairly high, but the splendid job of the present business manager, Wil liam Nudorf, has cut the cost of publicalion to a considerable ex tent." He added "there is no estimat ing how much damage has been done to our advertising sales by these irresponsible statements. Certainly advertisers are going to be dubious of buying space in a publication that is threatened with suspension." Credits to Be Sent To Draft Boards The College must notify local draft boards when students, re gardless of semester standing, ha v e completed requirements needed for graduation, C. 0. Wil liams, dean of admissions, has an nounced. Williams said this policy was approved by the Council of Ad ministration Nov. 3. The policy re quires students eligible for grad uation to receive their degrees rather than to delay " graduation.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Thanksgiving Than Refuge Whether you go over the •river and through the woods to grand mother's house or stay in front of your own fire with a bag of apples and the book you've got to read for history class, remember Thanksgiving is much more than a five-day holiday from home work. Thanksgiving is celebrated the world over as a day of prayer and thanks for th e abundance and glory of nature and her fall harvest, or in observance of an armistice. Thanksgiving in America will, mark its 331st birthday this year. A legal holiday in the United States, it is proclaimed annually by the President and the state governors. Abraham Lincoln was the Pres ident who officially f i x e d the fourth Thursday in November as a day of Thanksgiving. Lincoln was encouraged in his efforts by the editorials of Mrs. Sarah J. Hale, which appeared in Godey's Today's Pitt game marks not only the end of this football sea son, but also the last appearance of the present shabby—yet frivo lous—Lion. Alex Gregal, who will be grad uated in June, will portray the Lion for the last time, wearing the patched two year old suit. Next year there'll be a new Lion and a new suit. A fund drive was initiated this fall by Gregal to raise money for a new suit. Contributions amount ed to $599.26. Pollock Council re cently contributed $2.18. Earlier in the drive it donated $17.55. A new suit will be ordered in De cember, Harold R. Gilbert, grad uate manager of athletics, said. All-College Cabinet passed a proposal last month establishing a permanent fund fromwhich mon ey for a new suit may be taken whenever needed.

Thanksgiving celebrations in the days of John Alden, Priscilla Mullen, and Miles Standish are well -known to every schoolboy or girl.

Policy Student groups cannot be permitted to organize and operate on the campus or in connection with the College without approval of the College as to objectives and program, according to Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs and secretary of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. Kenworthy listed this as one societies, clubs, and other organ izations should get charters from the committee and the procedure to be followed. He said students frequently ask why the charters are necessary. Another reason cited by Ken worthy is that groups may not use College facilities regularly unless their status has been ap proved. This does not apply in the cases of new groups in the process of organization or tem porary groups. In these cases, the groups must secure sponsorship from some officer or department of the College related to the ac tivity. • That groups will not be recog nized by student government or by student publications unless they have been chartered by the College was listed as the third reason. The fourth reason said groups will not be reached with proper information about College activi ties or about policies and regula tions unless they are listed of ficially by the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. To obtain a charter, the presi dent or secretary of the group must write a letter to Dr. Henry Brunner, chairman of the Senate committee on Student A f f airs with (1) a copy of the proposed charter and by-laws of the new group, (2) a list of at least 12 mem bers, (3) a list of officers, and (4) the name of the faculty adviser. This information will be stud ied by the sub-committee on or ganizational control • which will make a recommendation to the senate committee. Then the de cision will be announced by letter from Kenworthy to the petitioning organization. The name of the group will be added to the list for official use in College offices.

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 19= 55 of the 102 Pilgrims had sur vived that first winter in Amer ica.) The governor sent four men out to shoot turkeys to feed their guests for a week. The colonists ate from trench ers, foot-square blocks of wood hollowed out to ho 1 d food or water, and used knives, spoons, and napkins—no forks. Men and their wives ate from the same trencher—a sign of affection, and John and Priscilla probably shared a trencher. Penn Staters could well profit not only from this history lesson of early colonial Thanksgiving, but modern history as well. By modern history is m e ant Penn State Thanksgiving 1950, when a snow storm caused the• College to extend student vacations for a couple of days. With the week of rain which has preceded Thanksgiving there's a good chance of another stormy holiday.

The other 'three are Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Erie, Gov. John S. Fine said the four channels would bring educational programs only to 50 or 60 per cent of the state's population. The governor made the statement in an address announcing the ap pointment of a special governor's committee on educational televi sion to consider the merits of the four locations. president Milton S. Eisenhower was one of 18 men named to the committee. The committee was named dur ing a two-day conference on edu cational television. Included in resolutions adopted at the conference are' the estab lishment of an engineering and educational survey, "state subsi dies for construction and operation costs" of educational television stations, and serious consideration for a plan providing local control in application for station license and operation, although requir ing programming meet state stan dards.
