PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Jazz Club Has Won A Fair Compromise A :,tudent-administrative conference has come up with what seems like a fair compromise concerning the future ot the Jazz Club. Yet neither the administration nor the Jazz Club has 1O)t the principles behind its basic position. The Jazz Club will have no restrictions on the number or size of its concerts, so long as ii does not contract to spend more money than it has in its treasury. And the administration will be assured of the club's financial responsibility. Two possible snags have been mentioned in connection v.ilh the Jazz Club's ability to hold successful large con- Neither of them is a real stumbling block FJr , ,t, the club's treasury, as deposited As,oclated Student Activities office, amounts to approxi mately 51600. It has been argued that this relatively small amount will necessarily limit the club's activities until it can build up its treasury. This is true only if the club does not look for other funds to use as capital. A relatively small dues collection from each of the club's many members should give the organization the money needed to put on successful large concerts—ones which would build up the treasury so that more large concerts could be scheduled and so that perhaps the dues could even be returned to the members. The other snag mentioned in connection with future Jazz Club activities is the possibility of competition from the Artists Series or other sources. The Artists Series and Jazz Club programs do not compete but complement each other. Even the small num ber of jazz concerts the Artists Series may bring to the campus should serve only added entertainment to jazz fans. There is enough demand to go around. The Jazz Club has won a significant victory with the withdrawal of the arbitrary order to hold no more big concerts until 1960-61. Both the administration and the club have won a victory in ensuring that the organization will never be in debt. The club's future success will be limited only by its officers' capacity for future good management.

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA ROBERT PICCONE Business Manager Letters Borough Tax Blasted Again TO THE EDITOR: Mr. James J. Bruce's recent condemnation of the tax to be levied on all town independent men was, I believe, completely justified. From all that I can gather, this borough is very "progressive" when it comes to making money. This time, however, I feel (it has) gone a step too far. One of the main reasons for male students living in the town is to sz.ve money. A number of them do odd jobs of various sorts and they're just about getting through college on a shoestring. These are the chaos who are hurt, and hurt badly, from such an out rageous tax. If taxation without representa tion were done with respect and ins;n l, ' for those being taxed, it would be an acceptable scheme; however, history has repeatedly indicated that the benevolent malefactors in power seldom con sider the poor. If the borough is SO intent upon taxing us, why did it have to go to such exorbitant extremes' I could tolerate $1 per head—but $11!! The poorest (financially) stu dents among us are being treated the worst by the borough. The fraternity students, who are ipso facto in the wealthiest class, are completely unaffected by the pro posed tax. This lop-sided scheme is reminiscent of many I wit nessed being executed by short sighted Army brass. And one other thing: Isn't this the very university whose stu dents nay the highest tuition fees of any comparable state univer sity? —Richard A. Cogan, '6O e Letter cut Student Suggests Sift Fund Source TO THE EDITOR: It seems, in all the controversy over obtain ing funds for the Senior Class gift, that one rather obvious source has been neglected. At most colleges, the yearbook is available to all students; how ever, LaVie is distributed exclu sively to seniors. If undergrad uates were allowed to purchase LaVie, the prof its thus gained could add quite a lot of money to the gift fund. —Rae Hoopes, '6O EDITOR'S NOTE: The LaVie is on sale to underclassmen in 202 Heizel Union. The price is the standard Sl4 and the funds go to LaVie.

I must tell my sad tale so that others like me can avoid the tragic mistakes that haunted me throughout my career as a student of the young mind —an elementary education major. Once upon a time I was a happy girl, proud and thrilled at the very thought of some day helping third graders to blossom into fourth graders. I desperately wanted to watch over the little tykes—to imbue them with learning. But this never will be the case, for I am no longer in elementary education. Why? Listen to my unhappy story.

I couldn't remember the last line of "Bingo." The end of my elementary education fiasco came with a visual aids course, an unfort unate requirement for all ed majors. Think I could learn to run a movie projector? No, I got the film in back wards, caught my finger in the reel, tore the film, and then gave up, a shaken failure. I also tried to master the flannel board, a simpler apparatus. But nothing would stick to the board—my technique was all wrong. I finally realized I was doomed when the next semes ter rolled around and brought with it a course in drawing and painting for elementary school teachers. My heart nearly broke, but what else could I do but Ethan don all thought of becoming a molder of youthful minds? I hadn't the nerve to attempt fingerpainting, and any sub par eight-year-old can draw much better stick figures than I can. Yes, the decision had to be made. I made my reluctant withdrawal from the ranks of the elementary education ma jors—the standards were just too high. spring dances. 17 Equines. 20 Heads, 23 Sindbad'a bird. 2 , 1 Bulk. 25 'Where colliers enter. 26 Kitchen appurtenance. 28 Courage. 31 Every year. 33 Part of a railroad system 2 words. 84 "Three men in --.": 2 words. 35 Plunders. 37 Dale, Young, etc. 41 Athlete in blue 42 Of ancient Carthage. 46 L.A. player. 48 Speedily. 49 Aid to navigators. 50 "Per ardua ad —..."
