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.

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.
