In the reporting of the meet ng and the two editorials that followed, it ap peared as if the backers of Mr. Snyder were accused of putting personal interests above the interests and gains of the Campus Party and student government in general, that we were dishonest, that we created the chaos that fol lowed because we couldn’t stand to lose. . . . We were not at the meeting to further our own goals or to increase our power at the expense of better student government.

We came into that meeting with the expressed purpose of giving to Penn State a political system that would be honest, just, and efficient. . ..... It was mentioned at the meeting that the tactics we used were bad for student govern ment and were giving it a bad name. I feel that the real blow to student government came when 40 or more votes disappeared and when the ballot box stuffing incident took place. Our parliamentary tactics were the only honest way we knew to combat these disgraces. . . .

Prejudice an Old Issue TO THE EDITOR: I do not wish here to dis cuss the issues of your editorial on “Prejudice,” of Dec. 7. But' I do wish to note an important error of fact. The writer speaks of “the burning coals of one of the oldest social problems in the world.” We have here, not one of the oldest problems in the world, but one of the newest. The typical ancient social group was homogeneous in race and speech. Even slight elements of disparity were difficult to adjust, as among the Greek states. The unification of France, or Germany, or Italy, took hundreds of years. When a minority group appeared, usually as a result of war or kidnapping, the ancients had a simple solution. The minority was enslaved. This solution, slavery, was abolished in this country less than a century ago. The problem we have set ourselves —how two strikingly dif ferent races shall live together in complete equality—is definitely new in the history of the world. _ . Gazette... THE DAILY COLLEGIAN.

You have used lh' first 10 minutes—4o to go!" the rolling stone OK Santa — Give. .. Dear Santa Claus, Here is my Christmas list, which you can deliver in ten years. I’Ve read about the goodies that are in store for us by 1965, if we are good boys and girls until then. I will be good, so please send the following One of the neat microwave, electronic ovens that will cook a roast in 20 minutes and a potato in just two. This will save me so much time that surely I’ll be a better citizen. As long as we’re saving time, please also include one of the hanging combo dishwashers that dumps the garbage, then washes and stacks the dishes. .With this I’ll have much more time for real ly important things in life—read ing good biographies and study ing foreign policy. With the aid of the dishwasher, why, I’d be a positive advantage to our govern ment. But you know Santa, that I'll just be working a 30 hour week, which means less money but more time to spend it. So I'll need a few essentials like a re frigerator with the automatic dispensor for crushed ice and carbonated water. Otherwise, where on earth will I keep my "atomic ray" protected food? Surely this is not an unreason able request. To become really informed in all my new free time, I’ll really need the electronic newspaper ser vice that pipes newspapers into the home, so please include that along with a tiny portable radio that I can carry in the palm of my hand. ' . But Santa, 1 really want to be economical too. But at the same . time, everyone, even nowa days, knows the importance of good recreation to all-over health, so please send a big color TV screen that will hang from the wall (if it covers the whole wall I can save money on'the paint, you realise). I can't. bear the though! of the ugly old boxed models any more. Of course I probably won’t have one of the new cars—you know—- the teardrop lines and made, of real light aluminum the kind that runs on oil or kerosene (that’s more economical, Santa). I could use one because I’ll be able to travel across the country (this is really broadening of one’s exper iences) on super highways and never run into a red light. But then. I'll be spending so much more time at home. I sup pose it would be a great deal more attractive if you'd lake out the old-fashioned light bulbs and try the new "atmo sphere" lighting. It's supposed to be called the eighth wonder of the world, and I just couldn't be without that. I’m trying not to ask for much between now and 1965, when this list will come due. But, for the Ipresent, just two little favors for WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 14. 1955 By Bibler by dottie stone December 14, 1955 this Christmas. You see.. I won’t be able to get any of these nice things ’cause it’s all based on two assumptions I—no Wor’d War 111 and no de pression. So, for now, just those two little things, which really are not as hard to get as the nice material things I want in ten years. Faithfully yours, Dottie Stone Prexy Honored By Fraternity Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, pres ident of the University, was re cently awarded the certificate of recognition by Epsilon Sigma Phi, national extension honorary frat ernity.
