Look Ahead, Not Away, Dixieland When the governor of Georgia tried to cancel the~Pitt-Georgia Tech Sugar Bowl game last December because of the possibility of a Negro player being in the Pitt line-up, it was the stu dent body of Georgia Tech which howled in protest. Again, today, the student body of a Southern school is howling. We thought that in the Georgia Tech incident we saw signs of Southern college students demonstrating enlightened attitudes about equality of the races. But apparently we were wrong. Apparently, the Georgia students were protesting only because they wanted to see football, not because they wanted to see equality. We’re forced into this conclusion because, in Alabama, Southerners are rioting against equal ity, Students at the University of Alabama are chanting “Dixie” in the streets to protest the University’s admission of a Negro student, Miss Autherine Lucy. This time it was the trustees of the university, one of whom is Alabama’s Gov. James E. Folsom, who showed sense and willingness to acknowledge the truth. The truth which the trustees accepted is that the Supreme Court of the United States out lawed discriminaion in public education on May 17. 1954. The trustees may not agree with the high court in believing that discrimination on the campus is in conflict with the “equal pro tection” clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. But they respect the law of the land, as de termined by the court. A Silent, Soggy Hello Almost lost in the hustle and hurry of the approximately 11,000 “old hands” who expertly scurried from building to building in yesterday’s rain were some 600'newcomers to the University who got their first taste of Penn State’s cheery climate as they chased confusedly about in search of elusive classes. We wouldn’t blame them if their spirits are a bit dampened today. The relatively few Febraury entrants io the University proper receive little attention when compared to that which is lavished on the mas sive group which enters in September. This is unfortunate, but little can be done about the situation for fairly obvious reasons. But the student who has just arrived should not deduce from this that he is not welcome or is regarded as a poor' cousin. That is not the case. The very smallness of the group of new students in comparison with the rest of the student body, the fact that February freshmen are not required to wear customs, the typical grey dark skies so familiar to every Penn Stater in this season, and the fact that many of the “old hands” are once again in the process of beginning the same courses they began last semester, are probably more cogent reasons for the lukewarm recep tion many new students may have felt their classmates afforded them yesterday. This is no reason for the new student to feel discouraged. The newcomer will soon learn that to make his mark at the University he must do 2 Students Named To Hillel Committee Tw o temporary appointments to the Executive Committee of Hillel Foundation have been made to replace students who will be student-teaching.

Deike of Pittsburgh, a graduate of the University and vice president of the Board of Trustees. One thousand dollars of the am ount will be added to the Levi Lamb Scholarship Fund for ath letic grants-in-aid and the bal ance to the Kenneth T. Deike Memorial Scholarship Fund. The latter fund provides for scholar ships based on need, character, qualities of leadership, scholastic ability and athletic ability. It was established by Deike in 1950 in memory of his son, Ken neth T. Deike, a 1930 graduate who died in 1939.

Butt Mgrs., John Kmetz, Dorothea Kaltlys Virginia Latshaw, nnd Records Mgr, This respect for the law was sadly lacking in the actions of the Alabama noise-makers in the streets of Tuscaloosa. Sad, too, was the decision of the university to allow Miss Lucy to only attend classes, barring her from the dormitories and campus dining halls. And it is unfortunate that police had io be called in to protect her as she walked from class to class. However, we can be encouraged that it was only a small minority pf the Alabama students who chose to yelp, that Miss Lucy courageously chose to remain enrolled at the university, and - that the trustees chose to respect the law even if they shunned the principle upon which it was based. Some day, students and governors in Georgia, in Alabama, throughout the South—and in the North, too—will accept both the ruling of the court and the simple moral (and physiological) truth of the equality of all races—on football fields, on campuses, and everywhere. How long it will be until that day comes de pends upon the moral integrity and the sensi bility of people everywhere. These qualities are still lacking in the students who would rather raise cain than face facts at the University of Alabama. Notwithstanding, the song the Alabama stu dents were chanting on the streets of Tusca loosa. in Dixie old times there must some day bo forgotten. Gazette. •.

This perhaps is unfor tunate. but should be recognized as inevitable at a large university such as Penn State. The rewards are here if one seeks them. The friendships are here if one seeks them. All sorts of wonderful new experiences are here if one seeks them. Remember that and you can be happy here. Remember that you’re on your own.

On Assignment At Commencement A friend of ours picked up his BS at Rec Hall last Week and set out into the business world, although he told us quite frankly he was “scared to death.” “It’s that sort of feeling you get,” he said, “when your parents leave you on your first day at college. And the next thing you know they’ll be wanting to take me into somebody’s Army.” While we feel a certain amount of apathy about his remarks, we personally consider it quite an achievement when June rolls around and it’s our turn to march down that aisle (or down that cin der track at Beaver Field, depend ing upon the faithful rain). To see just what the whole program’s like, we were on hand for last January’s commencement exer cises in Rec Hall, and the notes we scribbled on our souvenier pro gram went something like this: Rec Hall jammed io rafters with parents, relatives, well wishers. Flashbulbs popping everywhere in balcony. Presi dent Eisenhower leads proces sional accompanied by speaker. Nelson Rockefeller, Crowd rises. Impressive sight. Black robes everywhere, like Supreme Court in session, or something. Few Army, Navy, Air ROTC uniforms stand out. One fellow in marine uniform. How'd he ever get in? Degrees conferred by President Eisenhower. Candidates imme diately move tassel to left side of cap. Now legally graduates. Girl in back row has trouble with tas sel, takes cap off, moves tassel to left, puts cap back on. Hardly noticed. Girl sneezes, Instantly no ticed. Individual degrees handed out by college deans—something new. Good idea if it’ll work. Goes off without hitch. Lou Bell, director of public information, sits in back, times proceedings with stop watch. Nods approvingly. Speaker delivers customary talk, ceremony ends, graduates march out. Par ent stops Mr. Rockefeller, shakes hand, tells him how much she en joyed his address. Rockefeller dons Chesterfield overcoat, leaves. We extend congratulations io all those who made it through Penn State in four years, and especially io the lone Associate in Engineering graduate, decked out in a light blue robe, who made it in only two. The following item, printed in part, appeared in the Feb. 5 issue, of the Pittsburgh Press: “A 71-year-old Lawrenceville man was hit by a trolley last night while crossing in the 3700 block of Butler St The trolley, inbound from Sharpsburg, was operated by Forrest Gilbert, 3, of 45 Obey Ave., West End.” This could have been pre vented, you know, by giving those drivers a little more ex perience.

By RON WALKER. tration, Professor Ralph Wherry, who heads the Commerce Depart ment, is known as a one-man Penn State Chamber of Com merce. We’ve heard a lot said about the man but the best one we know of concerns the time he was in New York City and stopped in at a 5 & 10. One of the counters was filled with assorted college pen nants from around 'the country. Professor Wherry, we are fold, went through all the pennants, collected all the Penn State ones he could find—about 20 or 25—and laid them on lop of the others. A friend of ours received this in the mail the other day pre ceding his eviction: "Dear Sirs: 'There are entirely too many visitors and too much noise in your apartment after 11 p.m. "We must request that there be less noise and not so many visitors or we will report you to the Dean of Men which might cause a great deal of embarrass ment to the coeds and yourself. "If it continues you will have to vacate and lose your deposit." Knowing the fellow the way we do, we wouldn’t be the least sur prised if he penned the following reply: “All right, all right, if that’s the way you feel about it, we’ll get the girls out of here. But if you ever try to take my deposit money, I’ll sue.” Glennland Names Swimming Hours Glennland Swimming Pool of ficials have announced hours for recreational swimming.
