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.

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

Kenworthy Explains
Stu . dent Club. 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.

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. And it might be a good
idea to keep your ear glued to the
