AA Policy Changes Deserve Criticism The C o 11 e g e Athletic Advisory Board has come up with a series of policy clarifications and revisions, most of which are commendable. but several of which deserve some critical com ment. Alloting student seats for Pitt and Penn games all along the Penn State section will eliminate the situation which aroused so much student indignation this yeah At the same time, however, we can see no possible benefit to be gained by passing out applications for Penn and Pitt game tickets prior to the end of the spring semester and requiring that they be returned sometime dur ing the summer. Contrary to what the board expects, such application will not give much of an indication of ticket demands for those games. It should be clear that although the Penn game is early next season, still student demand for tickets is in direct ratio with the type of season the teams gets off on, some thing which even Grantland Rice cannot pre dict with accuracy in mid-summer. We see the application plan as a mighty mass of paper work out of which shall be gotten very little in the way of an indication of student ticket demands. One would be just as well off to take the much less tedious way out and examine demands for tickets in games in past seasons. The establishing of a definite policy with re gard to parades and floats at games was cer tainly needed, and the policy as outlined appears fair in all respects. Likewise, the clarification of policy with regard to complimentary tickets to members of athletic teams also seems fair . . . X-Country Change? . . . But, buried in among these clarifications there is a definite policy change. According to the board's announcement, all future cross country meets will henceforth be held at some time other than during football games as was past policy. Harold R. Gilbert, graduate mana ger of athletics, has indicated that the meets probably will be held prior to the games. We can see no reason for this change which could possibly outweigh continuing the system in use so long. Cross country is a sport which receives no widespread recognition of itself. Of its very nature it does not draw thousands of spectators, nor do the• members of the team, despite their tedious hours of training get the recognition which members of the "spectator sports" re ceive. Penn State's cross-country team in the past has received what recognition it has gotten largely from the scheduling of the start and finish of the meet inside Beaver Field during the Saturday football games when this was pos sible. As a result the thousands in the stands as well as the huge radio audience were made aware of the team's showing. Why change this in such a way that the sport will almost assuredly lose much of that recognition? It is hard to understand how such a ruling should come from the Athletic Advisory Board, whose main job is to boost sports at the College and not cut down pub licity.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Scholarship Fund Needs More Capital Last year All-College Cabinet set up a schol arship fund designed to give money to needy students who must work part-time to continue at the College. Since its inception the fund, known as the Penn State Student Scholarship Fund, has made one money award of $25 and plans to make more and - larger awards. Plans call for the establishment of a number of $lOO scholarships given each year to students who will benefit from the money. The money will come from interest raised from a principal continued and strengthened through student donations. Only students and student groups will contribute to the fund. The principal of the fund is now • about $llOO. mostly the result of a $lOOO donation from the Spring Carnival in 1951. The $llOO principal is not sufficient to accrue an interest that will allow any $lOO stipends, although a couple $25 gifts may be made this spring. That is why the committee of cabinet which handles the fund is now asking about 70 cam pus groups to contribute. Additional money raised now may be added to the fund's prin cipal before January, the beginning of the next fiscal period. Thus, by June, interest on this increased principal may be used for the much-needed 'scholarships. William Hay, chairman of the Penn State Student Scholarship Fund committee, has said he hopes to have the fund included in Campus Chest next year. We hope this step is taken. The student fund is at least as worthy. if not more so, than many groups now included in the Chest. Until the time when Chest will collect for the student fund, we hope that students will contribute through their organizations to this most worthy cause. Snowball Fights This shouldn't have to be said—but little boys must NOT throw snowballs at windows. The reason for this is obvious—windows are broken easily. If any student wishes to have a snowball fight, why not get together with some kindred souls on Beaver Field where (1) windows will not be broken, and (2) students who don't want to play won't be bothered.

Associated Press News Analyst Martin P. •Durkin, president ofthe AFL Plumbers Union, says he was greatly surprised ,to be chosen.. as.' President-elect Eisen hower's secretary of labor. So were a lot of other' folks, including Senator Taft, who called it "incredible" There are, however, some logical answers to some of the ques- tions raised. Some people wondered first of all why a Democrat was chosen for a regime dedicated , to sweeping out the Democrats. The first natural answer to that would be Eisenhower's opinioxis of Durkin's personal qualifi cations. That would be included in the answer to another ques tion: Why choose directly from one of the two great opposing labor organizations, CIO and AFL.? Wouldn't the favoring , of one damage relations with the other? Eisenhower's advisers must have believed that Durkin's experience as director of labor in Illinois for eight years, under both Democrat ic and Republican administrations, and his interest in reconciliation of the CIO and AFL, would even tually take care of that. : • It should be remembered,- ..too, that the secretary of labor's film- . tions have been circumscribeCby Congress in recent years. His of fice handles wage hour adminis tration, public employment • of fices, keeps track of trends. But he is primarily an adviser of the president. The most important labor laws, such as Taft-Hartley, are admin istered by the National Labor Re lations Board: Labor management disputes which arise under them are handled by the also separate mediation service. Durkin may think these func tions should come back" to the department. He said he thought "some functions" now handled by other agencies would.

ALL LA VIE SENIOR PORTRAIT PROOFS must be returned to the Penn State Photo Shop by Saturday FRIDAY, ' DECEMBER 5, 1952 By Bibler 9E PT. OF MUSIC tISTRUMeNrist. IVO of 10-PAY P-27 dication of changes in this direc tion_ So, as it now stands, the sec retary's job is to use the depart ment to keep track of the labor situation and inform the Presi dent and the country, about it. In selecting such men, a presi dent traditionally is allowed wide personal leeway. The appointment' also may be taken as a nod to the campaign impression acquired by many, and to the fear of a .large section of labor,' that the Republicans in tended 'to,' turn the clock back. It could be calculated to ease labor administration relations right at the - start, until actions can speak for themselveS. ' Eisenhower goes into office for a period which promises terrific stresses both on national and in ternational policy, which are now tied together in a way which tran scends the national experience to handle'. them. Eisenhower has cited national unity as the first requirement in meeting these stresses. The ap pointment of members of the min ority party, and of 'representa tives of ,important factions, has long been a standard maneuver to achieve unity. 34 Students Withdraw Thirty-. four student withdraw als from the College were listed in the Dec. 5 Faculty Bulletin. Reasons given for withdrawing were: personal 14, scholastic 1, military service 9, financial 5, ill ness 2, and unknown 3.
