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.

"The sublime and the ridiculous are often so
nearly related, that it is difficult to class them
separately. One step above the sublime makes the
ridiculous, and one step above the ridiculous makes
the sublime again."

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. I said before, the stu
dent must weigh the relative
advantages and disadvantages

I can't think of anything
less interesting to talk about
than "Dear Brigitte," the new

obligated to bore you with it

Hollywood isn't that difficu
to break into—at last, not as
an extra. 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

America, the MPAA, is Ralph
