THURSDAY, MAY 4 1961 Letters to 'Animal Farm' Revisited In Parable TO THE EDITOR: Once upon a time, there was a tiny, mountain kingdom ruled by a stately, old lion. Two other kinds of animals also lived there, pigs and cows. The kingdom was a wonder ful place to live in and the animals were happy. The lion sat on his throne admiring him self because he was so good. The pigs rolled in their mud. The cows complacently chewed their cud. But the pigs were ambitious, and soon they were almost a part of the palace, The lion gave them a castle-pen over looking the valley below, and he gave them dominion over the cows. Then one ay, a young bull stood up and said, "I'm tired of this piggish rule. I don't like the lion. We ought to be able to do something without the pigs' and lion's interference. I pro pose that we form a bull-gov ernment!" But the young bull had few friends (and to have govern ment, one must have many friends), so he decided to make new acquaintances. He visited all the barns and talked to all the cows, and every cow he talked to said he made sense. It looked as though he might succeed. Eventually, this came to the attention of the pigs who got scared and told the lion. The lion began to worry about the proposed bull-government more than he ever had before, and he decided that he must do all in his power to hinder the young bull as much as pos sible. He plotted and schemed and finally found a perfectly legal way to do so. He issued a proc lamation which said that no bull could ever go into the barns to talk to the cows about a new bull-government be cause, "A cow's privacy is sa cred above all else!" And now everything is peaceful again. The pigs and the lion are happy. The young bull, however, still thinks a new bull-government is in or der. —Frank Hugus, '63 Clarification TO THE EDITOR: In Meg Teichholtz's column in last Friday's Daily Collegian she said, "We say it again. Elect him. (Foianini)." This use of the first person plural implies that the Daily Collegian is officially backing Foianini for S.G.A. president. Is this true? If the Collegian is not back ing Foianini this statement cer tainly seems to constitute ir responsibile journalism on the part of Miss Teichholtz, who by her use of the editorial "we" implied she was expressing the editorial opinion of the paper. Is it possible the Collegian is beginning another year of when the editor is away the mice will play? If the Daily Collegian is backing Foianini why hasn't this been stated on the editorial page? —Stephen Gregg, '62 (Editor's note: The Daily Col legian is not supporting any candidate for any office.

I thought I was confused before when I didn't under stand his reasoning stating that Mr. Nixon was conceding the 1964 election to President Ken nedy by not running for gov ernor in California, or when he said Nittany Valley would be virtually swept away by the flood when the spring thaw hit the accumulated snow in the area. But, by cracky, this time he's really done it. For several months, he lev eled blistering attacks at the administration in general and President Eisenhower in parti cular, blaming them for the 11-2 incident. Now, lo and behold, along bounces the ill-fated Cuban in vasion, which he terms the "second major intelligence bungle within a year." Others of his statements indicate the two foul-ups are similar and comparable. Yet, he mysteriously shifts the blame from the chief ex ecutive to the head of the CIA. I said to myself, said, "Why?" When self was unable to an swer, I perused onward, dis covering that the President is a hard worker who realizes the problems (bully for him) and, according to our reporter, ap parently has some magic for mula for revamping our intel ligence system. This secret plan was, unfortunately, dis closed. I have, of course, accepted as factual the statement that 'the Cuban "miscalculation" was "masterminded" by All e n Dulles, along with previous columns "reporting" our active support in the invasion. Mr. Myer's source of infor mation in these matters is un doubtedly indisputably reliable, for, if one wasn't absolutely positive, one wouldn't be fool ish enough to put such state ments in print, would one? —Bruce Blanning, '62 End Near For 'Genteel Bigotry' -TO THE EDITOR: The ques tion of racial and religious dis crimination In fraternities and sororities has not come up very often during the current SGA election campaign, but all three candidates for All-University President have recognized its importance. By taking a definite stand (see Thursday's Daily Colle gian) in favor of SGA's adopt ing, for the first time in the history of the University, a policy of explicit disapproval of racial and religious discrim ination in fraternities and sor orities, they are expressing the will of the majority of students, regardless of party. The winner for this election will become a voting member of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, and it is grati fying to know that next year at least one member of this committee is going to fight the administration's policy of con doning the genteel bigotry of racial and religious discrimin ation in social organizations at Penn State. --Jonathan Morse, '62 TNT DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA —Collegian Photo by Tom Browne DOG MARCH ON OLD MAIN: For the first time in the history of the University a dog tried to state a complaint before University officials in Old Main. The animal, from Phi Gamma Delta's float, "His Master's Voice," complained because he did hot win a prize during Spring Week festivities. His march was in vain, however, and he returned to the fraternity house shortly after noon.
