UCA and Pi Lambda Sigma plan to piesent a similar piogiain with a prominent Republican congressman from Pennsylvania as the speaker. The organizations are still working on an alignments for this event. The pui poses of the talks are to acquaint students with outstanding political figures and to encourage re sponsible citizenship by a greater awareness of the major policy decisions which confront the nation. These are laudable aims, and Pi Lambda Sigma and the University Christian Association are to be congratu lated on their outstanding efforts to fulfill them. Perhaps equally valuable to the student is the chance to meet and tall: with prominent political figures on a pei son-to-person basis. A great deal was added to yester day’s events by the informal atmosphere which character ized the program. First Hand Facts Liberal Aits Student Council members learned Tues day night that Richard C. Maloney, assistant dean of the LA College, will propose at the next faculty meeting that officeis of the council be allowed to sit in on the faculty meetings. The pioposal is a follow-up on last year’s plan, when two representatives sat m on the meetings. If the officer plan goes through, it would mean five student representa tives at the meetings this year. The idea was suggested by the council to its adviser, the Rev. Preston Williams, who earned the suggestion to Maloney, according to Louis Phillips, council president. Maloney will take the proposal to the Oet. 23 faculty meeting. Maloney originally suggested that the invitation to the faculty meetings include the entire council, but it was decided this would be a little too unwieldy, and the final plan will probably include just council officers. And on the heels of this move to bring LA students and faculty closer together, Maloney also has promised to send a copy of the faculty newsletter and faculty bulletin to each of the council members, Phillips said. Tlie cooperation between the LA council and the faculty is to be commended. This student-faculty relationship should result in suggestions and ideas valuable to both sides.

PENNSYLVANIA FRANK VOJTASEK Business Manager Letter: Readers Decry Grid Emphasis TO THE EDITOR: The Oct. 7 edi torial page cited a floating half holiday as a stimulus to a feeling of e>prit-de-corns on the part of the student body. Closeiv tied in with this was a justification for intercollegiate athletics and athletic scholarships. An inteu-ollegiate football game, unless oveily stressed, does provide constructive ’recreation both for the players and the spec lator-. However, it is inexcusable to make college football the big business it i-. today. It is all very well lo juslify intercolleqiule athletics on the basis of ihe Greek idea of "mens sana in copore sana"—notwith standing the fact, however, that a sound mind nowadays is rarely found, there is always the danger that spectator sports indulged in excess lead to a sound bottom in stead of a sound body. A de-emphasis of mter-scholas tie athletics to inua-scholastic activities surely would be for the better. Similaily, a football game should be an activity for the play ers, not their major It is regrettable that the major college achievement of many of the football players is that they achieved a relative degree of pro ficiency at tossing a leather ball to the subordination of their for mal education. The purpose of our university is "to promote liberal and prac tical education ... in the several pursuits and professions of life." We hardly think that playing football falls under these cate gories. A student whose only means of gaining admission lo a university is the fact that he plays football, whether he receives a scholarship or not, should never be admitted. Let the football team be com posed of those students who have legitimately qualified to attend the university in keeping with its stated purpose. If they are able to contribute to our football team, so much the better. —Michael Dutko, 'SO —Gerald Richard Eckman, '6O —Fred Shaffer.

At least, not if you judge by the Danish National Orchestra, performance at Sunday night’s Artists Series concert, John Frandsen, conductor of the Danish orchestra, followed throughout the con cert the protocol of walking on and off the stage during the applause between numbers. Each time he walked on, of course, he received an ovation from the audience, and when he walked off the applause was directed toward the entire orchestra. After the program was well along and there had been a number of walk-ons by Frand sen, he strode off stage and mo ments later a figure appeared from the edge of the stage and walked on. The audience, assuming it was Frandsen again, applaud ed loudly. The figure continued his determined walk across the stage undaunted by the ova tion, then stopped and casually took his seat in the violin sec tion. The audience was busy laughing at its own mistake when the “real” Frandsen strode onto the stage in the same manner as he had before. As the applause rose he walk ed across the stage then THURSDAY.

It seems there is more orig inality among employees in the downtown eateries than some of us are willing to admit. A friend of ours found recently that the normally enthusiastic waitresses at the ‘‘unusual” restaurant aren’t against try ing a little humor when they run across the chance. The friend in question had just joined a group at a booth when one of them pointed out that she_ had mistakenly re ceived pickles with her order of toast. Our friend decided he would also have toast, and told tha waitress that, he would like relish instead of pickles with the toast. So . . . the waitress returned with an order of toast spread with yes, relish. But our friend was saved after one bite by an order of ungarnished toast which the waitress had hidden behind her back.
