][..N a speech (?) recently delivered by
Councilman John H. Fow, of Phila
delphia, we are "dished up" in the fol
lowing style 'to his hearers : "A useless
State Agrictiltural College where they
turn out dude farmers !" Thank you,
Mr. Fow, for referring to us in so com
plimentary a manner. Well can you
call us "useless," when it is your'pur
pose to make us so. When one wishes
to destroy an institution he begins by
denouncing it, though truth, be sacrified.
Please plug, your "fog horn," and don't
disgrace
. the intelligence of the state
Democracy by objecting to the action
of a Republican governor in sanc
tioning state aid to a grossly neg
lected (not. useless) state institution.
But you are, no doubt, possessed
of an unbiased mind and broad cul
ture, and have thoroughly posted your
self in the history of this institution (?)
as every true citizen of the State should.
Can't we prevail on you to visit us ?
We assure you that you would be
Ire
ceived with such copious showers of ho'
pitality as would obliterate from
."
remotest recess of your fertile brain
traces of the "farmer dude." We ha
not had a visitor yet who has not go .

President Eric A. Walker last week presented
the University's 1963-64 budget request for $24.7
million to the House-Senate Appropriation Corn
ittee in Harrisburg. When he did so, Walker was
representing Penn State as THE state university. '
In .three weeks, on June 6,7, and 8, the Uni
versity's Board of Trustees will meet—behind
closed doors. So that it can legally meet in secrecy,
the University will then become a private institu
tion rather than the state university.
Thus the University will once again resume
the dual role that it has been playing, for years to
its advantage. When Penn State can gain by being
the state university, this is the role it assumes. .
When it can gain by being a private institution,
this is what .it becomes.
The truth is thqt, in reality; the University
is THE state university. Legislation throughout
its history has proved this. The "Behind the News"
feature in today's Collegian provides a summary
,of the history of the University's status.
Only a legal technicality which gives the Uni
versity the status of a private corporation has
alldwed it to continue to play its dual role.
In addition to this legal technicality, many
arguments are advanced which try to rationalize
the decision. .

Time for Responsibility
by Board of Trustees
YOUR state legislators',
i ~ •
Some proponents of closed meetings maintain
that if they were opened, they would become noth
ing but a rubber stamp for decisions that were
reached in private meetings elsewhere.
While this could possibly be true to some ex
tent, there would always be elements which would
speak during the meeting and this is where the
final decisions would be reached;
. Some 'feel that it is presumptuous to request
men of supposedly such high caliber to open their
meetings to the public and the press. On the
contrary, the . trend across the nation is toward
open trustee meetings and the board would us.
doubtedly gain a great deal of prestige if meeting'
were opened.
The crux of the matter, however, is the respon•
sibility of the board.•
This University is largely supported by tax
funds. Because of this, the public has the right to
know how the trustees spend its money. It has the
right to know what occurs at meetings of the board
when these decisions are made.. The student body,
also, has the right to know what policies are made
which will directly affect them. •
It is time the Board of Trustees stops evading
its responsibility both to the public and' to the stu•
dent body.

Letter Box
On October Ist, the COLLEGIAN an•
nounced that it had reached a ripe
old age of thirty-three years. And a
careful reading of that issue and the
one following it convinced me that
in as far as time tempo of history was
concerned the two issues might as
well have been issued thirty-three
years ago and the loss would have
been negligible.
It is a well known fact that Most
college students rarely read the news
papers and it is just as true that most
of them do read the COLLEGIAN.
Therefore, willingly or not, the Cot.-
LEGIAN is faced with the problem of
publishing national news side by side
with 'the sectarian news of the Col
lege and the town. What has been the
answer of the COLLEGIAN to this prob
lem? A sterile test tube has been the
answer. The COLLEGIAN might just
as well be labeled C. P. (Chemically
Pure) to signify that no foreign mat
ter is contaminating the system of
the tube: '
For some time back a. real war has
been . raging South America—the
Chaco War:—partially financed by
American and .partially by • Great
Britain, or .rathe'r by ,the 'imperial
ists of these countries, in which tens
of thousands of soldiers were killedfi
I can't recall having read even once
of this war in last year's COLLEGIAN.
And the Present COLLEGIAN is follow
ing suit. Yesterday, Italy began in
earnest to invade Ethiopia. This is
undoubtedly the preface to a new
.vorld war which will inevitably drag
al of us into it-and the only editor
al in the same day's issue of the pa
)er is on Beer! And not only
;hat, but the only mention of Italy
it all was a bromide .filler stuck on
he sport page (as though another
vorld was is a sporting topic.) "Mus
solini is hardly an exponent of 'Do
into others as you would have them
lo to you.'" (.) France today is in
mute gatronomical pains—there is a
ug of war being played with her in
testines. A communist revolution or
Fiscist dictatorship is on the order
)f the day. either outcome has tre
nendous significance for us. A sue
:essful revolution, means the begin
ling of the united Comniunist states
)f Europe anil a Fascist dictatorship
eaves the United States the last ma
jor capitalist country with, at •least,
a semblance of bourgeois democracy.

So Who Cares?
TO THE EDITOR: For the fourth morning this week, I
have been informed on the front page of the Collegian
about the petty mis-adventures of the Students Wildly
Indignant about Nearly Everything, and have once asked
myself, "Who really cares?"
I didn't realize .that the student newspaper had the
objective of acting as a sounding board for minority groups
in the first place, nor did I realize that the editor was
responsible for the selection of one minority group for
publicity over all others. It seems rather prejudicial that
there are no large headlines nor lengthy , columns allotted
to the activities of the "Amalgamated Bird Watchers
Society" or the "Sons of the Ancient Order of Alcoholics",
two organizations which I am sure have equally noble
motives although they may not be as vociferous as the
group in question.
I must point out in writing this letter that I am not
trying to be critical of any organisation or its members.
I have no objection if someone wishes to sit in the rain
and proclaim the injustices of the world, since hit actions
will have no effect whatsoever on my point average or good
health, for that matter.
I do feel, however, that if someone is so involved
in a "cause" that he is willing to endure "rain, snow and
dark of night" to expound on it, he should be willing to
expend. his own resources in order to publish his propa
ganda. If this were the case, which it obviously is not,
the Collegian would cease being a "chronicle of the op
pressed" and go back to reporting important matters,
such as the current beer prices at the Skeller. I believe
that this whole matter can be summed up by saying that,
"Never have so many heard so much about so few," and
I, representing one of the many, have grown just a bit
nauseous about hearing it.

Trash
TO THE EDITOR: The University recently purchased numerous
modernly designed trash cans. These wonderful structures are
made of wooden slats about three inches wide, forming a
circular frame. The wood is attached by metal poles which
form a stand for the can.
_
Due to the uniqueness in the design. of these cans, trash
throvfn In them comes right out of the bottom. The debris that
accumulates under the can is rarely noticed by the perdon who
thought that he was doing his part to stop pollution. .
These Ingenious cans keep our Janitorial staff busy, and
give the - UniVersity the opportunity to provide more Jobs for
work-study students who can help clean up the rubbish. These
students are paid 52.20 per hour, which is much cheaper than
buying trash cans that not only have sides, but solid bottoms.
Got a gripe? Let us know.
