PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Abuse Rules-Lose Freedom Abuse freedom and you will lose freedom University women should keep this thought in mind when they are “emancipated” Monday, The freedom given by the new rules is not the license to find loopholes in them or ways of getting around them. As they stand now, they only provide penalities for lateness and counseling recommended by Judicial for major offenders. Women’s Student Government Association, aided by Dorothy J. Lipp, dean of women, did not make the new rules to restrict women but to provide them with a basis for developing intelligent and mature behavior. Many women have been doubtful as to whether they can act matuiely if not limited by penalities that mete out punishment for disobedience. Women have protested that they will not be able to discipline themselves to study if they are allowed to stay out until 11:30 on wek nights. Others have said that many women will view the new rules as a system to be taken advantage of to the limit. If enough infractions of the rules occur, penalties will have to be made, although this is not the wish of WSGA or the administration. If a system of penalties is gradually added on to the new rules it will be because University women have shown by their actions that they would rather be protected by rules instead of taking the harder course of learning to be adults, using rules as a guide. With freedom also goes the responsibility of being careful never to lose it.

Inside Washington Birthdays Break Filibuster Monotony By ARTHUR EDSON Associated Press News Analyst WASHINGTON (TP) It’s hard, even for word-happy senators, to talk day after day about nothing but civil rights. In the gentlest of times, a sena tor is apt to leap the oratorical fences. When in filibuster, our in trepid heroes wander over land and windscape. This is the fourth week that we have been, as Sen. Everett Mc inley Dnksen (R.-Ill.) likes to put it, ventilating the issues. Sometimes the ventilation has been informal, cozy. For instance, the presiding of ficer usually has little or nothing to say except something like this: THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA GEORGE McTURK Business Manager “Does the senator yield, and, if so, to whom?" But as the night drones on, pre siding officers, possibly in an ef fort to stay awake, have taken part in what is sometimes humor ously referred to as the debate. Possibly the coziest scene of all came while Sen. Robert C. Byrd (D.-Va.) was presiding. His colleague. Sen. Jennings Randolph (D.-W.Va.) was cele brating his birthday. Not just his birthday, but since it was 3:14 a.m.. the exact moment of his birth, S 3 years ago. The few senators present of fered up-to-the-minute congratu lations. Randolph thanked his early morning well wishers. During the Randolph birthday Letters Reader Upholds State's Taxing College Texts TO THE EDITOR: “Sign the SGA petitions and possibly sign your cheek for a small savings next semester." This was the final sentence in an editorial appearing in The Daily Collegian support ing the petition to exempt college textbooks from the 4 per cent state sales tax. The editorial cited rising costs as a reason for “signing your check for a small savings next semester” Why does the vvtiter think tuition was higher? Was it not because the state failed to appropriate enough money to run the University? Why didn't the state appropriate more money to the University? Was it because the state had a limited amount of money and could grant the University a limited portion of this money? And where does the state get a large part of its money? Is it not from the 4 per cent sales tax? The state is already paying a large part of my expenses at Penn State, and I would not feel justified in signing a petition to exempt myself from paying taxes since these taxes are helping to give me a college education. —Larry Mowrey, '6l Gazette Italian Straw Ilat, 8 p m., Center Staore Christian Fellowahip. 12 '45 pm, 218 HUB Fluid Mechanics Seminar. 4 13 p m , 211 ME Job Placement, 8 am to 5 pin, 212-218 HUB Metallurgy Seminar.

It began like this: "The hours are like ft string of pearls, The days like diamonds rare." Filibusters rarely produce sparkling repartee. One of the last so far came in the form of a question from Sen. John L. McClellan (D.-Ark.). Sen. Long asked: “The senator knows, does he not, that there is a proposal to place .the federal government in the business of trying to prevent any sort of hate bombing?" “Prevent wliat?" McClellan said. “Hate bombing,” “What other kind of bombing is there?” McClellan asked. tfle Man on Campus by Dick Bibier ir :?

How ever, upon reading the latest ‘hilarious’ issue of Froth, for which I have had the misfor tune of writing m the past, I discovered a most interesting article - namely, the one on page 11, concerning the rather disappointing farce that has been offered by the Penn State Players in the season past. I would not definitely sug gest that the author had an axe to grind, but I will point out some of the more obvious faux pas. I have no argument with the opinions expressed on the three previously done plays this year; I am not necessarily agreeing, but I am aware that Froth has a right to its own point of view concerning them. However, the reviewer then goes on to state “So far we’ve been afraid to go see ‘The Italian Straw Hat’ ‘French nineteenth-century farc i a 1 vaudeville’ just doesn’t sound worth dragging onto a twen tieth-century university cam pus.” The reviewer admits that he has not seen the play (so as to give it a fair judging), and then proceeds to slander it in complete ignorance of what ever merits or faults it may possess. If any reputable news paper resorted to these tactics, there would be no reputation, no venture that could be free WDFM Program Schedule FRIDAY •55 Wentherscope ;00 Sophisticated Lad/ :3Q The Guest Disc Jockey :53 News :00 Starhte Review :00 Muhic of the Nations :30 Spoken Words a /l SEE WHERE /'me PRICE OF HA IRCOTSiW \SO OP ASAIN.; / I HOPE H£ CUTS ) { l YOUR EARS OFF!

Further, he states that "The opinions of some of the crew working on 'Detective Story' . . . make it sound as if . , . etc." Since when is the crew's opinion the final out? Finally, may I return to ‘An Italian Straw Hat’ for a mo ment: it is a farce with music, in the manner of a somewhat accelerated Moliere (I hope Froth knows who that is). It was made into a classic film faice by Renee Clair, and it is both social comment and uproarious humor (‘Carnival Thieves’ was funny too, Froth!) One of its two authors, La biche, was elected to the rev ered French Academy of Arts on the basis of his farce—writ ingl Can this, by chance, not ba worth reviving, or should wa JUlow out Moliere, Anatola France, Sheridan, Goldsmith, and some of the more facetious Shakespeare as well? Or is William Inge, the poet laureate of unpleasant, nasty little peo ple who do unpleasant, nasty lillle_ things, capable solely of providing "genuinely worth- while theatre!" (What tasl®. Ingel) I will buy a ticket for the Froth reviewer myself, if ha asks me for it, to ‘An Italian Straw Hat.’ I’d like to see what his own thoughts on the subject are. •Letter cut —Marv Kata:, '6O P.'-iii Nows xnd SporU 10:00 Light Classical Jukebox 11:30 Sign o lt SATURDAY 6:55 Weafherseope 7:00 Hi-Fi Open House 9:00 Offbeat 1:00 Sign Off MV MOSQUE'S GOINS TO BOY A PAIR OF CUPPERS ANO CUT MY HAIR HIMSELF...
