Farm Prices and City Slickers
TO THE EDITOR: In an articlei in yesterday's paper
entitled "YAF Outlines Year Plans" an - inference
by the author was made to the effect that YAF's
conceal with such areas as milk control and farm
support were generally unint6esting to the urban
complexion of modern Americti.
I would like - to expound upon this view and to
clear up some misunderstandin'gs in the general area.
Let me start by stating that both of these issues are
of vital concern to every urban citizen,
The question of the Milk Control Commission's
regulation of prices has been a Pressing one now for
some time. Interference in thefree•market . by the
commission has resulted in a, protective status for
milk production and distributiOn agencies and the
price of milk in this state has risen far above that in
neighboring states operating on the open market
system.
To the urban family with several children the
issue is one of vital concern. A recent study , showed
that in Philadelphia the average family with children
loses some $35445 a year because of the controlled
prices. Hardest hit, of course, are the urban pOor.
In fact, the recent attempts to repeal the board's
power have been located in Pittsburgh, Fhile.-lelphia

and Scranton, hardly wooded and country areas.
Once again it becomes crystal clear on the issue
of price farm supports that the urban consumers are
hardest hit. Since by definition the people of urban
areas must .pay shipping costs for food, ,the effect of
raised prices due to farm supports is hard felt. This
is not even including the effect of billions of dollars
of taxes paid each year for the supports which come
from every taxpayer.
In these classic examples we once again see the
fallacies inherent in intervention, Only when the
American public wakes up to the underlying causes
of economic hardships will we be able to work toward
a nation free of force and restriction on the indi
vidual,
Reminder about Letters
The Daily Collegian gets plenty of letters, and
that's, fine with us. But, we can only print letters with
the writer's name on the letter. Anonymous viewpoints
cannot be pripted.
If you want to expound on a subject, agree or dis
agree with an editorial, The Collegian urges you to
write. But please let us know who you are. That way,
we can verify your letter for your own protection.

Thresholds, a New York theater.
One of the reasons Dale came to State College
last April was to enroll as an undergraduate majoring
in philosophy. He had spent two years and two terms
at Denver University (where he was editor of Side 11.
a student newspaper) and earned a 2.9 cumulative
average. He had also taught undergraduates philoso
phy of religion' at Drew University and Colorado Col
lege. But he was denied Penn State admittance for
both summer and this term.
"They told me my grades were not competitive,"
he explained.
His other 'reason for coming here was to teach
philosophy of religion at the request of the Wesley
Foundation—which is precisely what he did this
Summer and is doing now.
About 20 people took part in his summer course,
"Image Series," a program dealing with the
"emerging patterns and, structures that enable the
phenomenon of becoming hurnin in the 20th Cen
tury."
More than 60 students have enrolled in the three
part noncredit program this fall. Each Six-week
course—theological, cultural and educational—meets

know no other vice, save irrelevancy."
