A proposal to revive the Pennsylvania State
Board of Censors is pending in the General
Assembly.
The state Supreme Court ruled the 41-year
old Pennsylvania Motion Picture Censorship
Act unconstitutional on March 13, 1956. It closely
followed a U.S. Supreme Court ruling terming
words "sacrilegious, indecent and immoral,"
used in the act of 1915, so vague as to amount
to denial of due process under the 14th Amend
ment.
Within several hours after the court declared
the state law unconstitutional, a Senate com
mittee in Harrisburg began work on a law
which could withstand a constitutionality test.
Proponents of movie censorship have finally
come up with a bill they think can stand the
test. It too uses vague words such as "obscene,
lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy and vile."
However, the new censorship agency would not
pass on all films but would investigate those
on which it received complaints. This would
probably get around the "due process" clause
of the 14th Amendment.
However. this new bill does not answer the
question of how a group of persons can say with
It Won't Grow
A motion to spend approximately $434 of the
students' money to send four delegates to the
National Student Association convention this
summer will come up for a second and final
vote before All-University Cabinet tonight.
The motion should be defeated.
Cabinet should remember that delegates have
been sent for the last several years to take a
look at NSA. They came back and went before
Cabinet with idealistic nonsense and Cabinet
fell for it. Cabinet voted for NSA membership.
Then hardly a word was heard from NSA
until it rame time to vote to send delegates
or to vote on continuing membership.
. NSA has never worked at Penn State. There
is no reason to believe it will be different next
year.
NSA should not be allowed to get its foot
in the door by having delegates at the national
convention.
You can't get blood from a turnip that won't
grow in Nittany Valley.
'Unfair Criticism'?
TO THE EDITOR: I was both disappointed and
disgusted' with your article (editorial) in
Wednesday's Collegian. LaVie is a book of the
Senior class, and I do not feel that you (Miss
Harkison), as a junior, are qualified to say
who is worthy of being a "personality."
In selecting personalities the staff tries to
include people who are active during the ma
jority of their college life. Contrary to your
insinuations this was not a haphazard or par
tial selection. The staff spent many hours sift
ing through the names of "popular Seniors." I
would be willing to wager that the so called
"worthy people" who did not make the list
were among those considered.
Simply because a person has his name in the
Collegian every day does not necessarily make
him a personality. We tried to recognize those
who had contributed the most—not those who
talked the most. I agree that several other Sen
iors have given a lot to the University; and
therefore are qualified, but you must draw the
line somewhere.
I will agree with two of your criticisms. First
athletes were not too well represented. How
ever, it is much easier for a sports star to make
a name for himself than it is for a student
leader. This, however. does not make him more
"worthy." Also quite a few of the senior board-

ers were included. However you cannot gen
eralize that this was purely prejudice on the
part of the staff. To clarify a point—the num
bsr was nine, not ten. Surprising as it may
seem, they are worthy.
As for your suggestion as to a selection board.
I feel that they would have just as much trouble
as we did. I am sure that people would still
feel that "Some Did Sneak In." We used the
pink activity cards filled out by each Senior
in making our selections.- These, I think, are
mere accurate than Who's Who and Hat So
cie2y records which do not always indicate
the most worthy students.
I think you were most unfair in your criti
cisms, and that you are not in a position to
judge who is and who is not "worthy."

'Juvenile Frosh Boys'
TO THE EDITOR: Having just witnessed a pin
ning serenade in the Thompson area (Tuesday
night), we would like to register a complaint
against the vulgarity and rudeness displayed
by the boys in the West Dorm area.
This lack of consideration and respect for
a traditional tribute shows their immaturity
at its best. ... We suggest a required course in
good manners for juvenile freshman boys.

surety that this particular movie is "obscene.
lewd, lascivious, indecent, filthy or vile." What's
obscene and what's not obscene, especially in
border-line cases? What's lewd and what's not
lewd?
One of the main arguments for movie censor
ship—and book censorship too—is that some
could potentially "incite minors to violent or
depraved or immoral acts ..." Admitting adults
only could prevent this. _
Would-be censors also argue that "'movies
could invoke in some adults undesirable sexual
thoughts, feelings or desires. This may be true.
However, some psychologists believe that• almost
anything—the odor of cheese and carnation, the
touch of silk and the sight of a cane—can pro
duce irregular sexual conduct.
A movie, "This Could Be the Night," which
ends today in Stale College, could possibly re
ceive complaints and be banned under this pend
ing bill. This movie, which speaks of "college
broads" and "pure girls," uses frank adult
'language. It is good adult entertainment. .
And we do not believe that the American
adult population should be permitted to see
just what is fit for children,
No Equal Time
Balloting for the designation of the senior
gift, to be selected from five suggestions, will
conclude today in the Hetzel Union cardroom.
One of the suggestions is money for the Stone
Valley recreation area. A model of this pro
posed project stands outside the cardroom.
There is no information or exhibit advertising
the other four suggestions--books and a photo
copy machine for the library, furnishings for
the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Memorial Chapel
and furnishings for the proposed School of the
Arts building.
The Stone Valley model was placed outside
the cardroom many weeks ago, but it should
have been removed during the gift balloting.
University officials• claim that favoritism is
not shown in the designation of class gifts; it is
entirely a student matter.
The model of the recreation area, however,
could easily influence the voting.
Since neither the library, the chapel, nor the
art department have set up displays, Stone Val
ley "advertising" should not be allowed.

Interpreting the News
Ike
His
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
President Dwight D: Eisenhower finally has his dander
For four years he has assumed the attitude, for the most
part, that it is the administration's job to recommend and
the job of Congress to legislate.
He has refused, time after time, to get into a real punch..
throwing fight.
Now, on the matter of the budg
et, he has accepted the battle
gage and says he won't rest as
long as it lasts.
As for punch-throwing, he has
thrown several in the past few
days..
Those who got itchy during his
long silence regarding the late
Sen. Joseph R. McCarthy sat up
sharply yesterday when the Pres
ident said he would have varying
degrees of enthusiasm for Repub
licans who support him and those
who don't.
He said there is a very wido
difference between those he is
for enthusiastically and those
he is just for.
The President's whole posture
has changed within a week.
When he went before the cam
eras and microphones to defend
the over-all budget he was still,
the negotiator, still according
Congress equal rights.
When he got through talking
Tuesday night, he had depicted
Congress as an ogre standing in
the path of national safety.
The President didn't'say that
Congress was playing politics
with that safety. Others have
been doing that for _him. They
claim that some Republicans
are running for president or
for party position on the econ
omy platform. They claim Dem
ocrats who devised the defense
and mutual security programs
are getting ready for '5B with
a cynical switch.
Reaction to the first speech was
mild.
Within a few hours after the
President's second speech, how

ever, and after Secretary of State
John Foster Dulles• detailed his
foreign aid policy, Sen. Homer
Capehart (R.-Ind.) said he• was
going along with them for the
first time in 10 years. Congres
sional comment seemed slightly
more respectful toward both men.
It was too early to judge re
sults among the taxpayer, .The
White 1-louse claimed a wide
lead in early returns.
But one thing stood out. The
President, at long last, had proved
he could get down off his high
white horse and punch. At yester
day's news conference he acted
more like a President than ever
before.
