PAGE FOUR Editorial The Nudes ku ti,e two staLies that lon stood in Schwab Audi totiuni were carted to a nearby dump, the University shov..ed a prrme disregard not only for both student and faculty opinion but also for the value of the art. The two pieces of sculpture were given to the Univers ity in 1904 and the early 1920's by George Grey Barnard, a noted sculptor and native of Bellefonte. They are plaster casts of two of his best-known works. "The Hewer" and "Rising Woman." Apparently the statues are considered valuable by many persons for, since the removal, bewildered oblec lions have been raised. Although the works are only plaster casts of the origi nal, they still contain much of the same esthetic value of the originals. The original of "The Hewer" now stands in the Brooklyn Art Institute and the original of the "Ris ing Woman" is in the Rockefeller mansion on the Hudson. The fact that the statues were removed from Schwab because people who attended Chapel services didn't like to look at them is, if true, a weak excuse. But even if it were necessary to move them certainly there are other buildings in which thy could have been placed—fur one, the lobby of Sparks Building. It is reported that Barnard's family would be willing to give some of his statues and other materials to some place in Centre County. perhaps the University. But after the University has expressed its appreciation by pitching them into a dump it is doubtful that the fam ily will feel as benevolent as it did 50 years ago. Fairness in Dancing The Interfraternity Council has saved a big weekend for Penn State students. The brothers who won't dance will be given another chance this spring. And if the brothers won't dance again. the houses will pay. The council Monday night voted to assess each house the same amount of money necessary to cover any possible losses. This was approved over another suggestion which would require each fraternity to underwrite the dance by purchasing one ticket for every three members. Assessing each fraternity the same flat figure to cover any losses isn't exactly fair. If one fraternity has 80 per cent of its members attending the dance, it should not be required to pay the same amount as a fraternity with only 20 per cent support from its members. Also, the assessment hits the smaller houses as hard as the larger The council should reconsider its vote and approve the plan which requires each fraternity to purchase one ticket for every three members, for this would be more fair to all concerned. An Encouraging Sign Student leaders often complain loudly and frequently of the lack of student support of both social activities and campus charities They cite as examples the IFC-Panhel Ball, which was almost dropped because of fraternity indifference, and Campus Chest, which was killed after several unsuccess ful campaigns. These critics should be encouraged by the overwhelm ing student attendance at Mardi Gras, an event which Is charitable as well as social, as proceeds go into a scholarship fund. Receipts totalled slightly over 52300, national fund-raising record for Mortar Board chapters. This total was made possible only by the support of thousands of students. who proved themselves far from indifferent to an evening of fun and a worthy cause.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Reader Detests His Government TO THE EDITOR: In regard to ;Mr. thcidlarti's recent letter, I hereby accuse The Daily Collegian ;of being a major factor behind .student apathy. The Daily Collegian, the others like you throughout the country, and the individuals who dictate your policies could be of tre mendous service and stimulation to this country, but you fail miser ably. Why? Because you serve the government and not the coun try. Because you are obsessed by the primeval notion that cer tain "radical opinion" is bad for the minds of the people, and I therefore you cruelly deny these 1 views publication. You fail to see that our country,l and with it the worldr can only; be saved, can only compete with, Russia by giving birth to a great' liberal movement, not by the in sanity of a greater accumulation of nuclear weapons and the ship.' ment of arms to foreign nations. There are students, intelligent and conscientious, on this campus who could write cogent letters concerning what is wrpng with our country. Many of them would have the courage to see their views printed. But The Daily Collegian dis courages this, Instead you en courage the feeble letters of jackasses and dupes and then wonder why students are apa thetic towards the farce. You will not even allow anyone to give the majority of the students the sound verbal flogging they need. This spirit of suppression, for whatever bits of good it may do, is strangling the progressive ele ments in our country, as symptom ized by the condition of our for eign affairs. The usual crutch is to blame it all on Russia. Each day we are sinking closer to the point of no, return. The fraudulence infesting our country is as 'responsible for student apathy as it is for voter apathy. The Daily Collegian is contributing to the pathology by encouraging nothing but in tellectual garbage on this (edi torial) page. And lest I be accused of "dis loyalty" by some pseudo-patriots, I would like to say: I love my country, sirs, but I detest my gov ernment.
