SGA to Get Complaints
Students have been dissatisfied with parking 'regu
lations on campus for years but no student group has
organized to effectively represent the student interest
and try to work with the administration in solving the
parking problem.
Individual complaints do nothing but take up val
uable time and irritate the administration.
If complaints were funneled through a committee, it
could compile them (many of which may be on the same
problem) and present them to the administration with
much more weight behind them.
The Student Government Association has appointed
a legislative committee on traffic code investigation that
should become a standing committee for the purpose of
studying complaints of students, presenting them to the
administration and suggesting workable solutions.
The traff:, committee is asking students to write up
all complaints, sign them, and turn them in at the HUB
The effort of this committee is the first attempt by a
group to represent the students' views on the parking
problem and to seriously press for action by the adminis-
tration

Letters
Soph Seeks
Meaning
Of TOCS
TO THE EDITOR: The purpose
of this letter isAwofold. I read
Mr. Toor's "A Modest Pro
posal" with interest and en
thusiasm. An enthusiasm gen
erated by Mr. Toor's concern
with the state of and dubious
future of the Pattee Library.
"A Modest Proposal" is the
most original and finest piece
of satire on this campus. It is
regrettable that the Collegian
had to cut his letter. Kudos, Mr.
Toor.
However, Mr. Toor lists his
qualifications as a member of
TOCS and of the English De
partment. It seems to a great
er or lesser degree to. be ob
vious what the English De
partment stands for. But, due
to my ignorance, I am unable
to decipher the real meaning
attached to the letters TOCS.
Our Society and especially
Penn State is richly endowed
with groups known only by
their letters. Some, such as LP
and DEW seem to have secre
tive and obscure ends but an
all pervasive influence.
Other groups, although
being equally pervasive, seem
to have no ends whatever.
ROTC, IFC and BMOC fall into
this category. Some, such as
UCA and DARE, seem to pos
sess definite and clear-cut
ends.
Thus my question is this.
What are the ends of TOCS? Is
it a contemporaneous and high
ly sophisticated version of the
Whiffenpoof Society? Or is it
the faculty's contribution to the
TGIF Society? Or has TOCS
taken upon itself to cut and
polish a very crude gem?
—John Weld '63
(Editor's Note: The letters
TOGS mean Thoughtful Ob
servers of ;the Contemporary
Scene• and the job of defining
those words we leave to TOCS
members.)
Blue Band
Defended
TO THE EDITOR: Mr. Toretti's
"blast" at the Blue Band last
evening was entirely uncalled
for, and showed extreme nar
row-mindedness and poor-taste
on his part.
The Penn State Blue Band
is one of the finest bands in
the United States, and has got
ten that reputation in only one
way—through hard work. The
Blue Band practices everyday
before supper.
Then, several evenings a
week, when Mr. Toretti and his
boys are climbing into bed, Mr.
Dunloti and the Band go back
out to the field for additional
practice, to assure a winning
performance EVERY time.
Please note, however, Mr.
Toretti, that it is the football
team that gets all the glory,
publicity, and "fringe bene
fits." I never heard of the mu
sic department paying for tu
tors for the Blue Band mem
bers.
I can see no reason why, with
the Ying Yang Band and three
ROTC bands on campus, the
Blue Band members should not
be allowed to spend the last
evening before a trip studying
for the classes they will miss
and, in some cases, taking
bluebooks. After all, the whole
football team didn't attend the
pep rally.

Ike Supporter Speaks
TO' THE EDITOR: Mr. Joel
Myer's so called "article" in
Thursday's Collegian was a
misrepresentation of facts. First
of all it is packed with emo
tional and illogical ideas such
as the phrase: ". what justi
fied such a huge change in
voter sentiment during the last
four years." My friends, this is
the most ridiculous thing I have
ever heard!!
There are more registered
Democrats than Republicans.
Second, when you speak of a
huge change in voter sentiment
you, should look at the facts.
There has not been a change
in voter sentiments. The U.S.
Congress and Governorships
have predominantly gone Dem.
ocratic. It was only through
the image of Dwight Eisen
hower,. a. national. military
hero, that the Republicans won
in 1952 and 1956. Thus, Mr.
Myers is wrong on the first
charge.
Mr. Myers is wrong again in
his statement: ". . . nowhere
does one find the great shift
in votes from one party to an
other . . ." This is pure non
sense. The Nixon vs. Kennedy
contest was one of party against
party. It was not like the elec
tions of 1952 and 1956 in which
a military hero was matched
Toretti Gets
TO THE EDITOR: Offensive
Coach Toretti has chosen to
castigate the Blue Band for
lack of support of "a group of
men who have represented us
so well this year."
In reply may I state that the
Blue Band is a voluntary or
ganization. We are not sought
after or offered any direct or
indirect monetary inducement
to come to Penn State and play
in the Blue Band.
We spend many hours a
week practicing in order to put
on a good show for each home
game and two away _games
each year. For this we receive
no monetary compensation or
University credit. Should there
be an additional demand on
our time for away game pep
rallies?..
DARE Seeks
present in more subtle forms
than this. SGA has established
a list of integrated off-campus
housing to replace the Dean of
Men's list, which accepted the
names of landlords who prac
ticed racial discrimination.
Both DARE and the SGA
Housing Committee need help.
Anyone who is interested in
the problem is urged to attend
the next meeting of DARE, to
be held in the second floor
lounge of the. Faith Evangeli
cal and Reformed Church, State
College, tomorrow at .3:00 ,p.m.
—Jonathan Morse '62
—Vice President, DARE
But racial diScrimination is •Letter cut
TO THE EDITOR: Last March
a group of Penn State students
formed DARE (Direct Action
for Racial Equality), an organ
ization dedicated to eliminating
segregation from State College
and University Park.
The group first attacked the
problem where it was most ob
vious: in the barbershops, and
last spring conducted a long
and exhausting campaign to
call to the attention of the peo
ple of State College the ugly
fact that segregation does exist
north of the Mason-Dixon line.
Today not a single shop in
State College, as far as we
know, is segregated.
Questions on
TO THE EDITOR: I have heard
persistent rumors that the
books of the Pattee Library
are bought through the local
bookstores. It is my under
standing that a substantial sav
ings could he realized if these
books were bought directly
from the publishing houses.
Would the Administration be
so kind as to clear this up for
me?

against a political figure.
But what makes me mad is
the sentence: ". . . we believe
that the image of an earnest
young man full of vitality . . ."
Who, may I ask, is the we?
Is it your opinion, in which
you should have said I) or is
it just something you have
made up? The students of Penn
State voted in the Mock Elec
tion and decided that Nixon
was the best man. So why do
you use the pronoun we?
The fact is that Nixon made
a very good showing in the
national election considering
the number of Democrats regis
tered to vote.
Mr. Myers, to conclude, I
will defend President Eisen
hower's administration to the
year 2000!! President Eisen
hower has. been one of the
greatest presidents of this cen
tury. He will rank along side
Woodrow Wilson and Franklin
Roosevelt as leaders of the free
world.
—David Johnson, '63
(Editor's Note: Myer's use of
the pronoun "we" means that
this is the view held by some
of the members of the Col
legian staff and- should in. no
way be construed to mean it is
the view of our entire staff or
of the student body.)
Answer
We in the Blue Band sup.
port our football team all'sea
son, every season. During the
football game s, especially
away games, the Blue Band
cheers just as much and many
times more, than the rest of
the people in the stands.
We will be roofing for a
Penn State victory over Pitt
tomorrow. We hope that the
rest of you Penn State rooters
in the stands, and those back
here on Campus, will be sober
enough to cheer with us.
In conclusion I would like
to suggest that Mr. Toretti let
Mr. Castro and Mr. Khrushchev
aim "angered blasts" at those
who do not agree with them.
They are experts at such things
and Mr. Toretti is not.
