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.

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?

legian is not supporting any

the Editor
Jr. Baffled
By Myers'
Interpretation
TO THE EDITOR: Well, sir,
once again Mr. Myers has com
pletely baffled me.
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?

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.

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.
