PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Arsenal at Ole Miss National Guardsmen at the University of'Mississippi unearthed, while searching a dormitory for the source of a fire cracker which injured & soldier, a virtual arsenal of military supplies. - The unorganized arsenal, located in a dorm next to the one which houses James Meredith, contained a dis mantled pistol, a dismantled M-l rifle, several hand grenades and a can of gasoline.. Thai certain students at Ole Miss have these, arms oh hand is a disgrace to them and to their University. Segregation is dying. We wish it could go quickly without a long and painful death. But we are aware that there is a strong core of people who will not allow it to pass quickly away. ] We had hoped that the generation now in college did not belong to this core, but apparently, there are some students who still cling to the old ideas about social life. There Menu lo be Just such a small core'on the campus of Ole Miss. This core does not include the entire student body, of course, but a group large enough' lo It impossible for'James Meredith to walk about-campus without a guard. It appears that this core could alio resort to physical force if given the chance. Guns, grenades and cans of gasoline have ho place on a college campus. We hope the small corp of segrega tionists at the University-of Mississippi will lay down their guns, both the physical and the mental ones, and give up the futile fight which prevents Negro students from enjoying American freedom on that campus. j Welcome,Xerps!

UNIVERSITY PARK. PENNSYLVANIA / Letters Dilworth Stand Draws Protest By Republicans TO THE EDITOR: The Collegian article "For Dilworth’’f by Miss Kunkieman was certainly poor in a multitude of ways. She stated: 1. “Dilworth has pledged his ad ministration to a. massive, hunting of industry and jobs.. Scranton has certainly been far more spe cific bn this subject, but Miss Kunkieman nine lines before states the opposite. To top all, the Democrats have had eight years to do the job they -pledged to do in 1954. They have failed at any substantial reduction in unem ployment. In fact, ip 1958 our un employment reached a record 9.7 per cent. t, 2. "I think these industries will move regardless of the people re tained ’ to work.. in them." This statement is in direct opposition to the opinions of some of the foremost authorities, including those in the Lawrence administra tion. 3. “Dilworth supports a general sales tax . ..” May we remind ypu that Dilworth. has always leaned heavily towards the state income tax! Read some of your own past issues of a- losing Dilworth cam paign against John Fine in 1950. He is now attempting to keep his “vote pie” and eat it too. He. in effect, says that he needs more money to finance his program, .but he won’t increase taxes, nor will he add any to business.'Where is he going to get jit? Economize? That is exactly what Mr. Scranton has. already said arid directly so- Wake up; Miss Kjinkleman. 4. For* her- last blunder she states, “Because ,of Dilworth’* background concerning this Uni versity, I feel he‘ would be more forceful in insuring that necessary funds be appropriated to continue the realistic placement of them.’’ May we again remind you that Dilworth was also lon the Board of Trustees this year? He surely didn't lift a political finger (which we concede he has) lo influence Gov. Lawrence or Sen. Jo Hays io reconsider our budget request this fyear. After elected? Funny, you -might consider that? We feel everyone should con sider the honesty l and sincerity of Bill- Scranton ajnd use his in fluenc«j.to keep Dick Dilworth out of state government. j • f- • Letter-rut Journ Prof Hits Collegian Review TO THE EDITOR: One wouldn't know it from reading The Daily Collegian, but the| - e are-students onihis campu> wh(i are competent to review dramatic and musical productions. j' Friday’s slapdash,' inaccurate review of ‘,‘Razzlg McDazzle” is a good cp<e in pbint. One can’t disagree/of course: with any pne’s right tq his own opinion. But what confidence can one place in the judgment of $ would-be re viewer who hasn't taken the trouble to identify leading per formers correctly?! For example, Frank Wilson pleyed the important-role of Sok. not Gerald Bartel],''who had an other part. Ronald] Smolin, identi fied as. a fraternity pledge in the outline, actually played the role of a fraternity president. Of course, a Collegian reviewer has a right not to enjoy a show (most of Thursday’s night audi ence seemed to ienjoy it very much), but he has p responsibility to tell readers who’s involved in the show. It’s quite a feat to write a “review" of a] new musical comedy without mentioning pro- directors, composer, songs and most of the leading actors. .The - final paragraph of Col legian’s review follows a series of haphazardly complimentary state ments about the show with a de lightfifl non seqiiitur about Its “sheer inariity.” — * Come to think of it, that phrase might well describe the-review. —Robert M. Pockrass, Professor of Journalism —The Penn :State Young - Republicans Paul McPherson, Pres. Larry FJ RopCh, Chrm., Mid-Atlantic Assoc. YU. Clubs Junior Criticizes Pro-Scranton Stand TO THE EDITOR: I would like lo register a strong complaint concerning the fact that this news paper chose the day before the mock election to state its choice for governor and the reasons for this choice. It appears that the Collegian editor deliberately tried to leave as little time as possible for students to register opinions against the fallacious arguments Fut forth by her. Nevertheless, decided to write this letter fully * realizing that it had little chance ' of appearing in time for people to be influenced in the mock elec tion but hoping that it might in fluence those voting next Tues day not to make the same mis take the Collegian did. The first issue mentioned is unemployment Yo‘ be sure, both candidates have the solving of this problem at the top of their "priority lists of urgent under takings." In one paragraph, the newspaper infers that Mr. Scran ton's proposal of a better tax climate bringing industry into Pennsylvania is the answer. While I admit that many changes could stand to be made in our tax sys . lem (changes consistently bucked by Republicans in the state), even so Republican a paper as The Wall Street Journal was able to point lo such appealing items in our tax climate os no property tax -on manufacturer's machin ery, inventory, or equipment, and the exemption of manufacturing capital and equipment from the Capital Stock and Franchise tax and from the Sales and Use tax. There were others mentioned. The Collegian goes on to say that they also like the idea of a job retraining program for the un employed, hut it doesn’t mention that two Pennsylvania Democrats (Sen. Clark and Rep. Holland) sponsored that plan in Congress. This newspaper talks about Scranton's ideas on taxes and fis cal responsibility as if they were something brand new. Obviously Mr. Scranton isn’t going to say° he'll raise taxes if elected. It takes political courage to go ; around suggesting tax hikes when you’re running for office. So, he suggests, and the Collegian backs him all the way, that he can pre Prexy Gets Appeal To Save Froth ITO THE EDITOR: When all the present furor over the position !of campus “humor” magazine i Froth has subsided, its fate will ‘finally rest in President Walker’s hands; this-'is a direct appeal to Prexv to preserve the tradition |of Froth at Penn' State. Some of the content of the ; magazine turns the stomach of ! all but the least principaKindi i viduals, and I am sure in align i ment with thousands of students j in looking for -a thorough revis-„ ! ion of the purpose and method' inf the magazine. •' ! Ido not even claim that Froth | has.' alright” to be printed ac i cording to freedom of the press, j The analogy of a cry of “Fire” ' ; in a crowded theater being justi j fied on the basis of freedom of ; speech makes this defense mean ' inglgss. Rather. I turn to tradition for : an answer. Already, plans are i establishing for the demolition of | the Armory, one of the oldest | landmarks of our fine campus. • ! Progress forces much change, | and with it tradition must be re ! newed, but if we are to retain ! the academic "old school" almos ! phere which makes Penn State a | part of us for our entire lifetime. : we should not eliminate traditions ,y : like Froth, which, after aIL can ' ‘ serve a vital need here once Froth I is revised. Every Homecoming brings back ‘ alumni who see a burgeoning : Penn State, with old familiar places completely changed. This is to be expected, but let us not ’ hastily throw out the traditions that do not really. have to go. ■Froth and the Armory are but . pawns in'the overall struggle be tween Penn Syue past and future, . and I maintain that there must be a link between the two. \ .—Karl Voigt '64 SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1,962 vent a tax hike by., investigating government procedures and by cutting down on expenditures, payroll, and about the only thing he doesn’t mention—services. What will Mr. Scranton find if he gets the chance to make his “department by department an- - alysis” of government procedures? In connection with fiscal respon sibility he will find that Gov. Leader (again certainly no Re publican) introduced the idea of the ‘‘performance budget” by which each department seeks ap propriations in ' line with func tions they perform. Each depart ment must justify this request by expected performance. This pro cess is in direct contrast to the Republican approach eight years ago when budgets of almost one billion dollars w.ere granted by Republican legislatures in lump sums to be spent at the discretion of the governor and his cabinet. I’m suspicious of the Collegian’s backing of Constitutional revision as a major necessity. I believe it is. But the mistake the news paper and Mr.- ScTanlon both make is that though they admit that five attempts lo call stitutional convention by -refer endum have failed they recom mend this procedure again very highly. 1 can only surmise that Mr. Scranton doesn’t really want constitutional revision. The fact is' that.' as Mr. f Dilworth has pointed out; we have waited long enough and lime'is running out. Our constitution is 100 prohibitive where it should merely provide' the basic framework for govern ment. Perhaps the , most important issue you .mentioned was educa tion. It seems to me the Deny>- cratic Party is well aware of its importance and need I remind you who sponsored the Aid no Education Bill and the College Aid Bill (just to mention two) in Congress. Yes, it was the Demo cratic Party. You neglected in your editorial to mention that Richardson Dilworth has hepm a member, of the Board of Trustees of this University for some time now. Surely this has given him the opportunity to investigate the needs of Penn State. —Richard Wohlsen.
