PAGE FOUR Editorial A Trophy and a Kiss A trophy and a hiss - -that's all That's about all the homecoming queen received during her royal weekend and this took place at the alumni luncheon Saturday noon. Again this year the homecoming queen passed by prac tically unnoticed by the majority of the student body and many returning alumni. It is because she was ignored at the biggest event of homecoming weekend—the football game. We heard no mention of the queen at the game or not even an Indica tion that there was a queen. The football audience would see a lovely spectacle if the queen and her attendants were presented at the game on a homecoming float. It would take only a few minutes. If a float would involve too much pi•eparation, she and her court could perhaps circle Beaver Field in a convert ible. Either way. but she should make an appearance. When the queen and her attendants were selected, a great deal of publicity was given not only on campus but in state-wide newspapers. The queen was crowned open ing night of the Thespian show amid pomp and color. But students and alumni had little other opportunity to see her Homecoming queen is considered one of the highest of the many "queen" titles at the University. And it has the potential to personify some of the "grace and beauty" claimed to exist in the May Day ceremony. For many spectators it would also break the monotony of the football game. A half-time appearance of the homecoming queen is suggested almost every year but every year the suggestion is either ignored or fails to reach the proper source. Perhaps if next year a campus organization would volunteer to build an appropriate float, a short ceremony could be included into iite half-time program. (*The kiss was compliments of the president of the Alumni Association.) Our Unexpected Visitors Four Russians may drop in and pay us a visit this week. At least that's what an announcement from the Soviet Embassy in Washington says. The Russian Embassy aides are making a Junket through West Virginia. Ohio and Pennsylvania and have apparently included Nittany Valley on their itinerary. University and Borough officials are reportedly sur prised over the announcement. "The purpose of the trip," according to an Embassy spokesman, "is to familarize ourselves with the life of American people, with their achievements and expecta tions. We would consider it our pleasant duty to answer the questions which might be put to us with regard to our country." We are most happy the Russians hive included Nittany Valley on their junket. For one thing, we'd like to take them up on their offer to answer the questions about their country. But more important, we think Penn State and State College can even impress our Russian visitors, Sputnik notwithstanding. Popularity is a crime from the moment it is sought; it is only a virtue where men have it whether they will or no. —Sir George Savile Editorials are written by the editors and staff members of The Daily Collegian and do not necessarily represent the views of 'the University or of the student body.

STEVE HIGGINS, Bur, Mgr. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve WDFM Replies On AM Station TO THE EDITOR: I feel it neces sary to offer at least a partial explanation for the lack of active campaigning on behalf of AM fa cilities for WDFNI. From the very beginning, re search on this particular situation has been handled from several different areas and by various persons. Up until the present time, these individual and group studies have not been coordinated —a task for which I now assume responsibility. Earlier action was not taken because: •Supposedly, there is an ex isting committee on Cabinet de signed to this particular func tion. •Training and supervising of 70-80 persons when the station opens each fall keeps our ex perienced people more than ad equately occupied. Since assuming the position of Station Manager and even prior to that time, I've received the im pression that there are several influential persons who are not enthusiastic about AM facilities for WDFM. These people see no great merit in AM facilities. I wholeheartedly disagree and mostly for the following spe cific reason: Each student on campus belongs to at least one organization and every organ ization on campus could bene fit from AM facilities. I sincerely believe that I know how the administration feels. What I'd like to know is how do the various student organizations feel about the merits of AM fa cilities. Do the students want AM facilities? I'd be glad to hear from them. Gazette Gamin■ Theta Uparion, 7 p.m., 203 Willard Hall Hine!
