The growing concern of today's youth about the present situation in South Vietnam is indic ative of their concern about the future. Those who seek an immediate withdrawal of Pro-Western forces are seeking peace--peace with a price 9 that price being the Communist take over of South Vietnam. Red China, as we know, is a hungry, over populated country that is unable to accept the modern concepts of collective bargaining. They want the terrigory and natural resources which would enable them to further their Communistic doctrine; the only Tri,e - :h.od of expansion which they know is through force. The West has learned from experience what appeasement would bring. Hitler's acquisition of the Sudetlaad was part of a series of events which led to WWII. l, therefore, believe that whatever the price, it is necessary for the West to remain in Vietnam and for the United States to stand firm c her committments to the World. The Free World has in effect surrounded the Communists, lsoiating them from the terri tory and natural resource necessary to their expansion= In Vietnam, as in Korea, Cuba, and Indonesia, they are attempting to break this chain of isolation, The UnLted States is the keystone of the West; therefore tile responsibilities fall upon her to keep the world able to enjoy the freedoms and security necessary for peace. cs c...;ie m're than justi-;ied in inva:iabiy preventing a larger cunfrontaticn between the East and the West.

This let ter, however, would like to concentrate on the of the"younger geaeration". Physically this young adu)t generation is the eighteen to twenty-five year age group. ;very though Behrend consists of suppl: , :sediy mat ure, osponsible adults; the students have proven their mental age to be between seven and thirteen years. Have you noticed the neglect of our newest edition: The Reed Building'', By 4:30 p.m. each day the cafeteria is filthy. The paper cups and empty potatoe chip bags pushed onto the floor or to another table by groups of roaring pinocle players are a disgrace. Empty ash trays are found by the cafeteria help as they push their mops from the canteen machines to the bulletin boards. Small, tar•le-tcp s , crash disposal re minders ;which took someone "411 hour or two to make) are ripped apart and used as score pads or scrap paper. for .7 chemistry assignment. Surely these untidy people can afford a note book or ,77. t. 'east have a friend who will lend A former Behreadite,, Licpl R. Bert Skwaryk Crre ClfLz iettLers tim.[ a piece of paper. The cafeteria is being abused, as are the rest rooms, and the recreation area. As it looks now , Behrend may have to initiate a reading course into the curricAium. Stu dents are not heeding even if they are read ing the reminders not to litter, not to put books and coats on the SGA counter, to - put back pool cues and stop - butting - cigarettes on the floor. I could close by asking nicely to - please stop - being such MESSY people. Bilt you haven't listened in the past, and so further pleas would have very little effect. I will, how ever, close by stating that if students do not begin to pick up after yourselves stronger action by the SGA will have to be taken. "MAKE 4INE BLACK'S Last Wednesday, January 17, 1968, the first of a series of informal summit meetings was conducted in the Reed Union Building from 9:00 a.m. to 1000 a.m. Neither students nor faculty attended in throngs. In fact, the total number that amassed barely exceeded thirty. This was the typical response from the Behrend . Campus - on both the part of the students and the faculty. Students had complained of the lack of com munication between the faculty and themselves, but when Opportunity knocked nobody was home. Faculty, who supposedly were concerned with student relationships,showed their concern by staying away en masse. To the few students and faculty who made their appearance--it's about time To those not present, a lively and stimulating discussion (which at times became more lively than ctimulatint) was missed.
