CABBIES CAN'T RESIST:
Magnetism of Campus
Lures Student Drivers
By ROMA LIPSKY
The magnetic effect of the Uni-
versity campus holds sway even
during non-academic hours, ac-
cording to two student cab drivers
who report that students are their
favorite passengers.
"Many of the drivers like to stay
downtown, but I would rather
drive around the campus area,"
Robert Davis, '50Ed., said.
"I KNOW MANY of the stu-
Oents, and I like to talk to them,"
"Students don't tip often, but
*1ey're pretty sociable, which
makes up for it, and they are
good steady customers," accord-
ing to Leslie Smith, '49BusAd.
Both Smith and Davis agreed
that cab driving cuts down their

and
studying time quite a bit, but Da-
vis says it is "the best job I've
found."
* * *
"THE WORST passengers are
penny pinchers, back-seat drivers
and drunks," Smith said, "but I
haven't run into many of that
kind."
Davis reports that most of his
customers have been asking
questions about the two-way
radios which were recently in-
stalled in the cabs.
"People want to know how we
can understand them when they
can't," he said.
"The radios make sense to us,
because we get used to them; just
listen to what we can use and
ignore the rest," he explained.

A MERRY CHRISTMAS

TODAY
By CRAIG WILSON
Students at Pennsylvania State
College-both white and Negro-
are battling alleged discrimination
in State College, Pa., barbershops.
. After a long campaign, PSC
members of the National Associa-
tion for the Advancement of Col-
ored People called for an "all out"
boycott of barberships by students
RedsTrouble
St. Nick,_Too
Everyone has his troubles with
the Iron Curtain, and Santa Claus
is no exception.
Eino Kainlauri, '50A, of Fin-
land, knows all about St. Nick, but
instead of living at the North Pole,
he says he lives somewhere up
with the Lapps, and when the
Russians invaded Finland, they
occupied his headquarters.
The rotund gentleman still lives
on the Russo-Finnish border, but
Kainlauri thinks that his home,
called Ear Mountain, leans a little
more toward Finland than Russia.
Another Christmas tale Kain-
lauri spins is how deer came to
pull Santa's red sleigh. When the
Finns heard about the three Kings
traveling to Bethlehem on camels,
they were mystified because they
didn't know what camels were.
So, as humans will, they substi-
,tuted their own native animal, the
reindeer, as St. Nick's steeds. In
the old days Christmas presents'
were delivered to good little Finns'
on a buck made of straw.
and townspeople, according

SIGNAL FOR THE demonstra-
tion was the refusal of barbers to
cut the hair of Mitchell Williams,
track star, according to the As-
sociated Press.
"Let your hair grow-culti-
vate democracy; "Jim Crow
Must Go," signs were brought
out.
Business continued as usual
with customers ignoring the dem-
onstration, the AP said.
HOWEVER, two days later, in
a mass protest .on campus, more
than 300 students rallied on tra-
ditional meeting grounds as pick-
ets continued to stand before the
six barbershops in State College.
Two Penn State economics
professors addressed the group
followed by a mass parade
which police called 'orderly.'
The NAACP took the action af-
ter debating and throwing out a
IFC Gives Annual
Children's Party
Santa Claus himself and a
worthy crew of assistants enter-
tained over 2,500 children at the
annual Children's IFC Christmas
Party at 3:30 p.m. yesterday in
Hill Auditorium.
Besides a merry old Santa who
gave out candy and apples to the
departing youngsters, there were
20 clowns, two Christmas plays,
music by a brass band, and a
comedy routine by Gynlpastics
Coach Newt Loken.
plan to set up a seventh barber-
shop which would not discrim-
inate. (At present Negroes must
go 30 miles to get their hair cut,
AP reported).
"SUCH A SHOP would serve
as a place to which recalcitrant
barbers could direct all prospec-
tive Negro patrons. The job is to
change discriminatory practices
in the establishments which are
already in existence, and this can
not be accomplished by setting up
another establishment which may
in itself become a problem," the
president of the PSC chapter of
NAACP explained.
He based the picket action on
"effective use" of it in other
schools-mentioning the Univer-
sity of Michigan.
ELSEWHERE, the Amherst
chapter of Phi Kappa Psi went in-
dependent. the national Phi
Kappa Psi took steps to allow each
local fraternity the privilege of
'black-balling' a pledge of any
other group, and the Johnston,
Pa. chapter of Phi Kappa Psi con-
demned the initiation of Negroes
and Jews into the fraternity, ac-
cording to the Columbia Univer-
sity Spectator.
"We demand that each and
every one of those mischievous
imps (Massachusetts Alpha-
Amherst) be disgracefully ex-
pelled from the fraternity.
Nothing we can do at the pres-
ent time will remove the shame
which we now and forever must
bear . . . the damage done . .
is extremely severe, perhaps fa-
tal," they said.
Trips Planned0
For 58 Students
Over Holidays
Groups To See Three
Universities, Mexico
Christmas vacation will mean
visits to parts of the United States,
Mexico and three colleges for 58
University students this year.
A tour to Texas and its univer-
city, Monterrey and Mexico City
is a Christmas present for 15 stu-
dents who will depart for points
west and south tomorrow on the
annual International Center
Christmas Vacation tour.
* * *
THE UNITED Student Chris-
tian. Council conference at the
University of Kansas will mark
the latter part of the vacation for
20 Interguild members among
more than 2,000 students from 20
Universities.
Twenty-three students from
the Michigan Christian Fellow-
ship will attend the Intervarsity
Christian Fellowship convention
at the University of Illinois Dec.
27-31.
Five Americans and some Egyp-
tians and Turks will make the ex-
odus to sunny Mexico and Texas.
The group will travel caravan-
style in five faculty-driven cars.
THIS IS THE first time that
that such a University tour will
head for points outside the United
States.
Many of the foreign students
who applied for the trip were
unable to secure visas in time
from Mexico, which takes sev-
eral months.
The Egyptian Embassy in Wash-
ington intervened on behalf of its
nationals in hastening the proce-
dure.
WVSSF .Drive
Dates Are Set
Students will dig into their poc-
kets for the annual campus World
Students Service Fund Feb. 17
and 18.
"We hope to raise $10,000 this
year by tag days and other special
projects," Lewis Towler, chair-
man of the drive, said yesterday.
Emphasis will be placed on in-
dividual contributions through
organized groups, said Towler.
Michigan students gave $3,120
to the world wide project last
year. TheW SSF provides finan-
cial help and other forms of aid
to students on the basis of need.

HAM ON RYE, England-ge-
cause they believed it would bring
them luck, the householders of
old England used to clean their
chimneys on New Year's Day.
After two long years of prep-
aration the West Quad's Radio
Club finally saw the culmination
of all 'its efforts to erect a new
rotary beam antenna on top of
the :Quad radio tower
Designed by the club's former
president, Bruce Weinert, '50E,
the antenna was built entirely by
the club's 15 members. Resem-
bling a huge helicopter propel-
ler, it was originally to have been
erected at 1 p.m., last Saturday.
DUE TO ASSEMBLY difficul-
ties, however, the work had to be
delayed until later that night and
the job was finally completed un-
der powerful floodlights well af-
ter midnight.
Standing 85 feet above the
sidewalk, the antenna is opera-
ed from the control room of the
fifth floor of Williams House. It
is rotated by a small ratio mo-
tor and powered by an army
surplus transmitter.
The club now hopes to be able
to establish contact with stations
all around the world. Formerly
their transmitting radius was
confined to the United States and
Mexico. '
* , *
FOUNDED TWO years ago by
Ellsworth B. Holden, the Radio
Club is open to any man living in
the University residence halls.
Most of the club's members
have radio transmitters of their
own and, except for the tower,
they own all of the broadcast-
ing equipment necessary to op-
erate the new antenna.
After receiving permission from
the University to erect the rotary
beam last year, the club began an
intensive drive to raise funds to
finance the construction. A gift of
