The University cannot teach students to find out what's gt,nrig on in the world. But it can make. It ea,ier for them to find out. It cannot make students read newspapers. It can make newspapers available to students. It can do this simply and painlessly by mak ing it possible to sell newspapers in the Helsel Union building. We have the idea that if newspapers were more accessible to students, they might be read by students. A lot of students who live on cam pus do not get near downtown newstands and, consequently, continue their pace through this valley of learning in ignorance of the news of the world.

Instead, the HUB installed alternate plan number one. Two copies of three metropolitan newspapers are now available every day at the HUB desk. Students may now turn in their matriculation cards, borrow a paper, read it, return it, and regain their metric cards. We think this plan represents something less than progress. Inhabitants of this valley will hardly be better informed under it than they were before it. Let's sell newspapers in the HUB. For, "seek the truth and the truth shall make ye free." Amen. Points Well Taken The Spi ing Wee: - Committee has developed a fair, equal, and just, if not complicated, point system for ju To the aver„e person it would seem that the group has gone out of its way to make the delegation of points as difficult as possible. But regardless of how complicated the system is, the committee is making every effort to make individual and overall Spring Week judg ing fair. The willingness of the members of the com mittee to undertake the responsibility of judg ing a contest under their complicated method only emphasizes their desire to make the con test fair. The committee considered weighing the car nival even more than 45 per cent of Spring Week, but decided that this would not be prac tical because the winner of the carnival would then automatically win the Spring Week. How ever, the committee voted to give 45 per cent to the carnival because more groups and more members of each group participate in the car nival than in any other event. Miss Penn State and the He-Man will not be counted heavily because only individuals are entered, and the contest does not include group spirit and co operation. Individual points within each event have been set up by a ratio in as accurate and fair a manner as possible. The point system is typical of the committee's desire to put fair and just treatment of all entrants in Spring Week above all. Safety Valve Froth Foaming at Center TO THE EDITOR: It seems pathetic to me that a certain center of Penn State refused to help promote school spirit by helping to tie in its students in a direct way with Penn State. The lack of school spirit at all of our centers is a grave problem. The students don't feel at all like Penn Staters. The senior board of Froth decided to send some issues of Froth to some centers as an introduction. The administrative head of Ogontz Center was very enthused with the idea, as he felt that this might be a small way of stirring up some school spirit. The Ogontz student union head said this was just what was needed to make these students feel more a part of State. When the administrative head of the Altoona Center was contacted he rebelled completely. He said he didn't like Froth and he refused to let his students become associated with it. He has a perfect right to dislike Froth, but this is not the point. The point is that as an administrative head. he does not have the right to decide what the students can read because of a personal bias. Froth is sold here on campus and as long as it keeps within the bounds of propriety it will continue to be sold. It is a shame that Mr. Eiche, administrative head of Altoona, cannot understand or even be willing to listen to reason. This is a poor way for an administrative head to act. If this man could take the attitude of Mr. Herpel, admini strative head of Ogontz, perhaps then some of these "center" students could feel like they do belong to a great university.

In the first place, February was in vented by the Roman king Numa Pompilius. He gave it only 29 days, except in leap year, when there were thirty, and the extra day was sandwiched in between Feb. 23 and 24 to make things all the harder. Numa also decided to put February at the end of the year, but later it was put where it belonged. A fellow by the name of Au gustus took one of February's days and added it to August just to be doing something, and long after wards Feb. 29 was pretty well disregarded. Some perfectionists had to be pacified so the 29th was retained every f our th year to make them happy. The next time someone wants a little publicity he'll do some thing else to February. A good many people think February is our worst month. The truth is that February would be all right if they would only let it alone. In fact, some pretty exciting things have happened in February February 2 The woodchuck, or groundhog, is a brownish North American ro dent which has very peculiar hab its, and we make them all the more peculiar in February. When left alone he lives on grass, clover, lettuce, and cabbage; but in cap tivity he prefers bread and milk. He would probably like to have bread and milk all the time but he can't get it. Along in Novem ber, after storing some fat under his skin, he crawls into his bur row and goes to sleep until about 7 or 8 a.m. on Feb. 2, when he brushes his whiskers and emerges from his home to forecast the wea ther. If the day is cloudy and cold, he decides that the winter is over, but if the sun is shining brightly and it feels kind of warm, he says it's still winter and goes back to sleep for another six weeks, all of which proves that he has no sense whatsoever. February 8 General William Tecumseh Sherman was born in Lancaster, Ohio, on Feb. 8, 1820, and we all know what he said about the war, although he could never remem ber having said it. Anyway, he finally got to march through Georgia and a Mr. Work wrote a song about it, and everywhere General Sherman went somebody was sure to sing it or play it or both. Once, when he was in Dublin, writing some letters in his hotel I room, he heard a band coming up t the street playing "Marching! Through Georgia," so he dashed to his trunk and put on his uni form, assumed a patient expres sion, and sat down to wait. Well, the band went right past the hotel and faded away into the distance, for it turned out that "Marching ; Through Georgia" was an old Irish favorite and there was a pic nic that day. WEDNESDAY.

Kos ciousko was born in 1746 at Mere czowczyno, Poland, and left there as soon he could. He fought in our Revolutionary War, went back home, and was severely wounded in the struggle for Polish indepen dence in 1795, but he recovered and lived until 1817, part of the time in Philadelphia. Thomas Campbell wrote the poem containing the famous line: And Freedom shrieked as Kos ciusko fell! And Coleridge, for some reason or other, also exclaimed in a son net on Kosciusko: 0 what a loud and fearful shriek was there! Excellent as both of these poems are, there seems to have been no actual necessity for so much shrieking. The general effect has been unfortunate, as a great many people think it was Kosciusko who shrieked. Well, he didn't. February 14 Lots of people get valentines on this day and others may meditate on the end of Captain James Cook, English explorer who, perished in a scrap with the natives of Hawaii on Feb. 14, 1779, leaving a widow behind. Captain Cook made three voyages to the South Seas, mapped a good deal of the Pacific, dis covered numerous islands, an nexed them to Great Britain, and generally brought untold weath to his country. After his second journey he was rewarded with a beautiful speech of thanks, a gold medal, and a job in Greenwich Hospital. If he had returned from this last voyage he probably would have received some actual cash, at least that was the rumor. This teaches us that we should all work very hard, and if any thing comes of it so much the better. Although Captain Cook was a great and a good man, we don't get very excited over him anymore.
