PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Sound Reasons Needed The question of AM facilities for WDFM has now run 'foul of the "grand generality." Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academic affairs, said Monday that the University does not need an AM station "to strengthen its educational program." Dennis said he believes the University would not establish an AM station unless it is convinced that a station is necessary to the instructional program. AM facilities for WDFM—last year's Senior Class Gift—has been kicked around long enough: it's time for a straight answer. The handling of the Senior Gift issue has raised many questions, and this latest gobblerygook from Old Main sheds little light on the problem. It is easy to see that the University can hide behind this new excuse of strengthening the educational program for as long as it likes before giving a real reason behind the AM holdup. To Dennis' statement on strengthening the educational program, we ask: How much did these senior class gifts strengthen the educational program: • The benches around campus? • The chimes and clock for the tower of Old Main? • The University ambulance? • The organ in Schwab Auditorium? • The Mall Gate? • The furnishings in the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Chapel? It can't he said that any of these class gifts strength ened the University's educational program. It is equally hard to say that they are not useful and valuable to the University. AM facilities for WDFM would be just as helpful or moreso. It is the moral obligation of the University to transmit funds for the Senior Class Gift to the purposes for which they were voted when at all possible. The $lO,OOO which the class of '5B chose to donate to WDFM should go toward an AM station, instead of being tossed about by the Uni versity. And yet. the gift has not been so donated„ AM facili ties seem to be more remote than ever and the question of AM facilities is being bandied about by the administration with no apparent Justification. For some reason the University seems not to want AM facilitit!s for WDFM. It has trotted out a number of apparently weak reasons for this opposition. The students deserve some more convincing information. To Vote Intelligently An intelligent vote is the result of knowledge and of intelligent reasoning. Students preparing to vote on the proposed constitu tion for the Student Government Association must supply the reasoning for themselves. But the All-University Cabinet Reorganization Com mittee is willing to help supply bases for knowledge. The committee tonight will begin a series of open meetings aimed at explaining the constitution and its ram ifications. Students Interested in voting intelligently on the question may find the meetings excellent opportunities to obtain some of the knowledge on which to base their reasoning Fifty-four Years of Student Editorial Freedom alte Batty o.lollrgittu Successor to The Free Lance, est. 1887 Published Tuesday through Saturday morning during the University year.

May I, Senior Ball. Little Man on Campus by Dick Bible, "My alarm didn't go off either, Miss Plume, but I manage to Looking Ahead 'Yankee' Secession May Rise Again! Save your Confederate money—and send_ it to New York City! Some of the political leaders of the nation's largest metropolis claim to be seriously considering seceeding from New York State. And, although the citizens might continue to use U.S. currency as legal tender, perhaps a flood of bills from the Old South would possibly add a bit of color and bring back memories of the days when Mayor Fernando Wood battled the federals during the Civil War, According to the Assqciated Press, the New York City Council voted 23 to 1 yesterday to appoint a com mittee to study the "possibility and legality" of secession by the city. PHYS ED. It seems that the Democrats of New York City believe that they are receiving un f air treatment. FRANKLIN tax-wise and otherwise, from the Republi can-controlled state govern ment. Whether the secession move ment is meant to be a joke or a threat, it is receiving some attention throughout the coun try. At any rate, it is an in teresting way for a political subdivision to focus attention on its problems.

Visitors are often getting the two mixed up, try ingto find out which one hous es the main campus of the Pennsylvania State University (both, of course!). However, such a plan might present problems. Particularly when one considers that, after all, University Park technically consists of one little room in the Hetzel Union Building which stacks mail and sells stamps. Or, considering the difficul ties in pulling needed funds out of the legislature, perhaps Penn State should secede from Penn sylvania. Then maybe the Uni versity could get the money it needs by charging out-of-state fees for all students from Penn sylvania, too. _ Or, maybe a secession-bound Penn State could hook up with other secession-bound groups, possibly becoming, for instance, the Pennsylvania State Uni versity of New York City. The height of a secession craze might even see the adop tion of the idea of one dis gruntled student wag: Have Pennsylvania secede from Cen tre County!
