PAGE TWO ditorial 0 USG Decisons The Undergraduate Student Government Con gress tonight will deal with two important topics and has the chance to take decisive action on a third. First, USG will tackle the problems of the sur vival of the campus radio station and the rebirth ^f a campus humor magazine. The question of WDFM's staying on the air is undisputable. With the immediate life of the station at stake because of its antiquated transmitter, USG can provide the incentive for a successful fund raising campaign for a new transmitter by passing the proposal for USG to donate $l,OOO. The failure of Congress to fail to pass this legis lation would be unforgivable in light of the broad support the campaign has already received on the campus. Other campus organizations are expected to endorse the campaign almost 100 per cent. If USG does not, it is failing in its responsibility as the all campus student government. USG is wisely approaching both the WDFM and campus humor magazine questions by planning polls on the issues. Once the number of FM radios on campus and the degree of student interest in a humor magazine are determined, USG can act more de cisively on the questions. The issue of a campus humor magazine similar to the now defunct Froth is important. The adminls tration obviously does not want such a magazine to reappear: the alumni do. Student interest will play the deciding role. The third topic concerns USG's new constitu tion for a "cabinet" form of Congress Congress has already made several important changes in the docu ment, but it has failed to eliminate one obvious fault. Under the present plan, the USG president, vice president and treasurer—elected by popular campus vote—are entitled to sit as voting members of a so• called "congress." If the USG executives are so deter mined to cast votes in the body, perhaps the entirz conception of the legislature should be changed to a broad-based oligarchy. There are already 20-30 voting members of the Congress; for the executives to vote would only un necessarily complicate a complex structure that already confuses Congress every time it meets. Let's keep student government efficient and dem ocratic—limit votes to members of Congress. This may be the last chance Congress has to make this change. Wake up, congressmen, keep voting power where it belongs. Give Blood A story this week in the Diamondback, student newspaper at the University of Maryland. carried the headline "Students to Bleed This Week." Without such vivid headlines and with little fan. fare, the annual Bloodmobile drive at Penn State is headed for another ahove•quota year—if students continue to sign up for this project. Recruiting for the Bloodmobile this week has already totaled 250 students, with some 100 more needed to make certain the campaign's goal this year will be met. Gamma Sigma Sigma and Alpha Phi Omega, na tional Service organizations, are sponsoring another in their long line of campus and community service projects with the drive. If you haven't volunteered your blood yet, you may do so until Friday on the ground floor of thtt Hetael Union Building. To maintain the record 359 pints donated last year, more students are still needed.

'IS Campus News Report • (Do* Moretti) 10:00 Symphonic Netebeok 12:00 News 6000 ERIESI I OVERSLEPT; 004 AL DINT 60 OFF! - "You e Counselor Supports Transmitter Fund TO THE EDITOR: I would like to take this opportunity to commend The Daily Colle gian on its current effort to raise funds for a new trans mitter for WDFM. There is no student organ ization on campus that I know of that is more deserving of this support. No other student organizations can more ap propriately be called the "voice of Penn State" and its demise due to a worn-out, antiquated and undependable transmitter would surely be a great loss to our campus. As counselor•a d visor to WHR (West Halls Radio) I am in a position where I can daily observe the apprecia tion men of West Halls have for our student-operated ra dio, station. WHR daily con verts WDFM's •FM signal to AM and "pipes" It to the resi• dents of West Halls. Listenership is almost uni versal. As one walks through the halls, he hardly loses a beat of the music being broadcast or a syllable being spoken be cause so many residents have their radios tuned in to the station that the sound com ing through the residents' doors pervades the hall. West Halls is fortunate that it already has the facilities for converting the FM signal to AM. If the student body lends its full support to the Collegian's fund-raising cam paign, it will not be long until the signal can be simi larly converted in other areas. The USG currently has Fuller Lauds Fund Drive TO THE EDITOR: The Daily Collegian Is to commended on its willingness to give such vital support to station WDFM. There is no doubt that WDFM needs student support and your decision to aid in the fund raising will help tremendously in obtaining their goal. —William F. Fuller, Manager Associated Student Activities and Hetzel Union Building. Additional Praise TO TEE EDITOR: One dollar toward a new transmitter for WDFM. I'm fully in support of the drive and compliment The Daily Collegian for its mag nificent backing. —Alfred Webber, 'ss - BICYCLE ARTS REPAIRS P •• ACCESSORIES Western Auto 112 S. FRAZIER ST.

The WDFM Transmitter Fund drive challenges all re sponsible Penn State students interested in the welfare of OUT campus to dispel once and for all this talk of "stu• dent apathy." The information and enter tainment emminating from WDFM is equally accessible to all Penn State students. We should all feel a personal obligation to do our part by donating to the WDFM fund. I'll be going to the Colle gian office to give my dollar Thursday. I hope that I will have to wait in line. —Robert Williams, Counselor, Poplar House YAF Head Calls Group 'Watchdog' TO THE EDITOR: Although the candidate we have sup ported for the last four years did not win the Presidential election this year, we must re member those votes cast for Senator Goldwater were not votes for the man but for the ideals of conservatism. With the exception of th - e "Johnny come lately" votes, the support for conservative ideals will live on. If nothing else, the conservatives at each local level have been united for effective political action. Assuming news management does not increase beyond recog nition, conservative political action will dominate the news media at the local levels. We have, throughout this campaign, considered our big gest Job to come after the elec tion, regardless of the victor. Naturally, our course of action now takes a different path, We will now assume the role of the "watch-dog," pointing out the fallacies of liberalism and the long-proven time-tested truths of conservatism. —Thomas Lavin, Chairman Young Americans for Freedom APPLICATIONS FOR "PENN STATE WOMAN" EDITOR ARE AVAILABLE AT THE HUB DESK NOW Letters to the Editor Chairman Urges Student Activities TO' THE EDITOR: As social chairman of a dormitory floor, I am in complete agreement with Miss Egan's editorial on the "abnormal" dating system on campus. Other social chairmen and I have spent much time planning activities and filling out the various forms only to have a poor turnout and at times the event is a complete failure. What is the reason for this? The excuse that I hear most often is, "I can't get a date." One.may say that it is the boy's fault, I will contend that this is true to the extent that many so-called men here on campus will wait until the last minute to ask a girl to go out and the bravest would rather sit in their rooms and stare at the wall before they would risk being "shot down." To make matters worse, for everyone of these people there is another who has made a date with a coed only to be left standing in the cold the day before the activity. This does not show the 'use of any mature judgment and it doesn't even approach the level of respect that should be dis played by all of the students. The aforementioned people have the perfect solution to the problem. If a social chairman wants to have an activity, let him find dates for everyone. Some of these people will ac tually knock on my door the night before an activity and tell me to count them out or find them a date. If this attitude continues, I would not blame any social chairman if he felt that plan ning activities was a waste of time. I, personally would not like to live without any activi ties and I'm sure that many students feel the same way, so let's back our social chair men and get dates for floor activities. How Should we get the dates? In general, male and female students Should try harder to associate with each other every day, not just a few days before WEST HALLS COUNCIL Preienta: Kirk Marilyn DOUGLAS MAXWELL in Stanley J.

So why not plan to "go steady" with STATE COLLEGE CLEANERS starting today? • We'd love to have you! they want a date. Our dining halls are excellent places for getting acquainted, but the opportunity is wasted. Jut come to Redifer "D" and see for yourself. While the boys sit at one table and make eyes at the girls, the girls sit at another table and make eyes at the boys, and never the twain shall meet.' With the coperation of the sororities and the other girls in our dining halls this situation could easily be alleviated. Why shouldn't we meet right here in our own dining halls, instead of a fret house? In conclusion, let's drop our predudices and fears and have a good time here at Penn State. —Bernard Lecce, '67 Coeds To Blame, Engineers Argue TO THE EDITOR. After having read your article in the Col legian dealing with dating, we wish to make the following reply. It is your contention that only the fraternity men date and that engineers do not. This is a very rash and untrue state ment. If the coeds of this campus didn't think of themselves as goddesses, too good to waste their charms on engineering students, you wouldn't have any trouble getting dates. It is through your snobbish at titude that you have put your self in the position you are now in. Just because you are in a situation where the ratio of men to women is three to one, you feel you can be choosy and as a result you have become too choosy and cannot get dates. Wise up and quit thinking you are the only women in this world and maybe you will get someplace. —John Piposzar •Letter cut LOVERS ••••••••••••••••••••••1 • •1 • • GIVE to the WDFM Transmitter Fund • • • • Box 261, State College • • ' , •••••••••• •••••••••••• NOTICE students and faculty of ART MUSIC THE ARTS APPLIED ART ARCHITECTURE THEATRE ARTS ART EDUCATION LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE ARCHITECTURAL ENGINEERING ART AND ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY whether you consider yourself the ultimate .. . the essence . .. or the foundation of the arts— you'll find a friend at the— STUDENT-FACULTY MIXER thursday, november 5, 8-10:30 alpha rho chi, 246 south pugh s.c.a.i.a. pi gamma alpha alpha rho chi scarab "His" and "Hers" Classmates • . and in a class by themselves are GUNNIN's "His" and "Hers" "Playmates."
