Foianini
On Courage ; Viiiwi
TO THE EDITOR; Wnwish to
. .
extend our congratulations to
Mr. Folanini for his straight
forwardness and courage in ex
pressing a long withheld feel
ing concerning student-admini
titration relations.
It is a relief to finally see .a
solid stand takeri by the presi
dent of our student body in
protecting the interests and
democratic rights of the stu
dents.
In the past there have - been
grievancei, expressed by the
students; but they have died.
no one being willing to call the
administration's cards.
In his statement Mr. Foianini
has not made rash comments,
but has backed up his state
ment with concrete examples.
These charges are serious ones,
Frosh Seeks Recess
For Easter Celebration
TO THE EDITOR: I have just
read a most interesting letter in
the Collegian. It concerned our
Easter holiday (if you can cf.,11
it . that).
The author was quite right
in saying that we should start
now in petitioning for a long
er vacation at that time. This
would at least give the ad
ministration a longer time to
think up a better excuse than
"there is not sufficient reason
for a longer Thanksgiving va
cation."
If our President feels that
there is not enough sentiment
about Good Friday, he should
go either to the services at
Schwab Auditorium or at any
of the other churches in town.
They are usually. filled to ca
pacity, and not all are towns
people.
Students of this University
arise! Something definitely
must be done. Appeal to your
clergymen back home to look
into this matter.
Among the many communi.
Williams' Remarks
Called Irresponsible
TO THE EDITORs The un
founded and unsupported
sweeping generalizations stated
by the Chairman of the Elec
tions CommisSion concerning
the status of political parties,
the administration, and major
student •organizations was en
tirely . unwarranted, irrespon
sible, prejudicial, and damag
ing• to
_student government.
It is not the prerogative of
the Commission or persons rep
resenting it to render state
ments which destroy its pur
pose—an impartial and non
partisan agency to administer
the SGA elections.
Nor is it proper for members
of the Commission to express
their personal opinions through
it.
The prestige and effective
ness of the Commission and its
membership is seriously under
mined by their entering the
political arena.

ties and churches (and I use
the term "many" loosely) there
must be some to whom Good
Friday is a sacred holiday.
Maybe if we begin now. we
can stir up enough sentiment to
stop a few thousand More stu
dents from coming here and
thus solving some more of our
administrations problems.
Look out President Walker!
If you think that there is a
great deal of sentiment about
Thanksgiving now, just wait
until you begin .to hear about
having to go to classes on Good
Friday.

Foianini View
On Vacation
Hit by Jr.
TO THE EDITOR: Mr. Foianini
has now stretched the Thanks
giving vacation• problem entire
ly out of 'proportion. '
How can one compare the
idea of Penn State and that of
its undermining the concept of
the family with that of Red
China? I'm only too sure that
most parents are proud of their
son or daughter in their quest
for an education and that they
would sooner see them working
to get ahead than relaxing to
get, nowhere.
It is an easy task to fill your
self with turkey, but it is an
other matter to "fill" yourself
with knowledge and under
standing.
But, I say to all you down
hearted-turkey-lovers that if
Thanksgiving, with its trim
mings and turkey, And the idea
of being home with your fam
ily, means more to you. than
acquiring an education, get out!
College is for the mature and
not the childish.

'Sentimental'
Parents' Day
Spoofed by Jr.
TO THE EDITOR: Has anyone
noticed that the day of the Holy
Cross football game is con
sidered •by the University to
be "Parents' Day?" What will
Big Brother say! Imagine whole
families together for the day.
HoW revolting! How utterly
sentimental!
We students must unite to
see that, this display of
,"2mo
tionalism never takes place. Let
us take pen in hand and write
home immediately.
Tell your _parents that the
game is sold out; cancelled, Tell
them it is no use writing for
tickets. Besides, if some senti
mental old fools must celebrate
Parents' Day, why can't they
do it, after December 7?

Through the
Looking Glass
with Gabbl:
Did Ijust hear you breathe a'
sigh of relief? Your last mid
!term is over? Is that why? But
actually- there's no time for
that. There was in, the "good
old days" -- when you could
relax for a few days after mid
terms or bluebooks!. This is
no longer possible. If you don't
believe me, I'll back it up with
statistical evidence. Do you
realize that every week in the
quarter system is the same as a
week and four days on the old
semester system, and so the
days you planned to use for
"goofing off" are no longer
here so get to work right
now!
But Ethel reserve's hasn't
changed one bit. You can still
buy the same beautiful things
there unrushed. Just come in
and see for yourself.
Whsssst! Whsssst!
The sound of a talking brace
let! What do you mean you've
never heard of them? Ethel has
them (of course) in sterling
silver. They're beautiful charm
bracelets for only $2 and up.
Just_come in and pick out the
type you want. Then ask to
see the wonderful selection of
over one hundred charms —.a
whistle, a bank with a "genu
ine" dollar bill in it ("mad
money"), Christmas charms,
animals, dancers. You name it,
Ethel has that type of charm.
The price only $1 and up.
HEY SISTERS!
All of you sorority girls have
you been using ordinary type
matches? Time for a - switch.
Ethel has boxes of matches with
your sorority's name on them.
Just the perfect thing to keep
in the suite! Also, how about
using them fd-Rush this week
end? Ethel has them so
stock up for Rush today.
Although it may seem too warm
out to think about Christmas,
it's sooner than you think
only seven more weeks, but
you'll be here only four and
a half more weeks. Time is
running out. Come in to Ethel
Meserve's, and buy your. Christ
mas gifts while the selection
is best. If your problem is
money, use Ethel's Lay-away
Plan and start - saving.
Put a trip to Ethel Meserve's
on your calendar for this week.
Just tell them "Gabbi sent
you."
So long,
Gabbi
