Editor PAGE TWO Editorial 0 • inio Try 'Em Both After subsisting on a meager diet of textbooks, news magazines and Playboy for eight weeks, we've suddenly ben deluged with a number of publications of, by and for Penn State students. Who knows, if the presses keep rolling, we may even see a USG Record ("Awareness"?) before the spring break. Most prominent on the local front this week are The Bottom of the Bird Cage, Number 7, and Critique, which hasn't been seen on campus since last spring. "Cage," as usual, has adopted a no-holds-barred attitude, coming up with some good and some not-so good material. It's unfortunate that some of the not so-good material is reminiscent of writing which brought the administrative axe down on Froth two years ago. The cover article—"lt's Time to Return to Old Main"—however, affords a thought-provoking change of pace from previous issues of the "Cage." Reprinted from the Washington Star, it is the first article of a projected forum on "What is wrong with Penn State?" We're looking forward to the second installment. Noting on their cover that "It is time to stop cursing the darkness and to light a candle," those responsible for the new Critique have gotten off to a good start. Lack of funds obviously didn't deter them from striving for excellence in content. An article of particular interest to students champing at the bit under University rules and regu lations is "In Loco Parentis." Written by Carl David son, graduate student and member of Critique's edi torial board, it is a realistic and challenging view of the principle as it is seen at Penn State. Highlight of the article is Davidson's five-step plan for elimination of in loco parentis. Carefully thought out, it's something for both students and the administration to take seriously. More than that, it's something we'd like to see enacted. As Davidson says, "When the university accepts the role of local parent . . . it is appropriating the duties that should be solely those of the parents . .." Additionally, it extends a "period of control that be longs to an earlier state of our developrrient." In loco parentis is a thorn in the side (or should be) of, stu dents everywhere. We are surprised that few before Davidson have spoken against it. In addition to Davidson's "local" story, Critique contains an excellent piece of fiction, and serious efforts on Berkeley and Viet Nam. This is a magazine which once enjoyed popu larity on campus. Issues such as this one should help put it back where it belongs. To break even and im prove its format, though, Critique must be bought. Yesterday's sales were encouraging; we'd like to see them continue. You may take your pick between the two "big" magazines if you wish. Better yet, try them both. It's about time that student literary talent were fully appreciated here. 2.,%2OOL:: ) TME,III;IIWAS. , 2`O,fa;I44I7MOLit/TPALAZMCiaii uote of the Day VIEMAtiVAMMES'AMIAMMOZONVAINOMPAVONSIMW4 "The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly related, that it is difficult to class them separately.

The oth- Letters to the Editor Zurndorfer Urges Student 'Vote' on BOS TO THE EDITOR: The Un dergraduate Student Govern ment-sponsored Book Order ing Service is off to an unex pectedly slow start. So far, sales are running behind the minimum required by the BOS to cover operating ex penses. If purchases continue at their present slow rate, the BOS will have to be consider ed a failure and any plans for the extension of the BOS and eventually a student operated bookstore may have to be per manently abandoned. The students have express. ed many reasons for not pa tronizing the BOS and some of these seem quite valid. For one thing, there is some risk involved for those who, are not pre-registered. More im portantly, many are hard pressed for money this late in the term. But as valid as these ex cuses may be, they must be weighed against the great over-all benefits of buying from the BOS. The books are priced far bedow • downtown levels and compare favorably with any bargain the students might find in their home towns. On the relative success of the BOS rests the future of a fully operating student book tsore at Penn State. Such a bookstore could offer tremen dous savings and benefits, in cluding book discounts even greater than the ten per cent now offered by the BOS. As.

For instance, Gale Molovinsky (11th - pre - law- . Allentown) hopped out to Dreamland last Spring, and was hired as a student in that forgetable film which I just casually dismissed. If you look hard and quick, you may spot him in a crowd scene walking past Mr. Stewart. However, a rapid glance in the Rath skeller will find him as the able manager of the band, The Satans. Last year, a theatre arts major, Arno Selkov, received a fairly big part in the film of Moss Hart's life, "Act One." This spring, some lucky stu dents might find themselves in key roles in "Butterfinger," a satire on you-know-who at Penn State which the Spring Arts Festival might film. And on the more creative side of things, the acting pres ident of the Motion Picture Producers' Association of America, the MPAA, is Ralph Dorn Hetzel, the Third, I be hove. One of the people re sponsible for writing "The Greatest Story Ever Told" is James Lee Barrett, an alum nus. Luck to them all, and may the rest of us on the outer fringe pinch our way in some day.
