St. John Blasts Aid to Greece
By William Herrmann
In an interview last night,
Robert St. John, nationally known
correspondent, pointed out that
recent events in Czechoslovakia
are, in one way, Russia's answer
to the policy of the United States
in Greece for the past year.
"The only ultimate solution to
the present world problem is the
formation of a World State," he
said.
Mr. St. John urged the forma
tion of a branch of the World
Federalists in State College.
The United States and Britain
have sent over one billion dollars
into Greece. Virtually none of this
has gone for reconstruction. It has

Presidents Call
Election Invalid
The WSGA, WRA primary elec_
tions held yesterday have been
called invalid, and a re-election
is scheduled 'from 10 a.m. to 5 p.
m. Monday. The final election will
still be held on Tuesday.
Suzanne Romig and Lee Ann
Wagner, presidents of WSGA and
WRA, explained that a re-elec
tion was imperative because the
ballots used in yesterday's elec
tion were printed incorrectly. The
semester qualifications as listed
on the ballot stated that a student
could vote only for offices to be
filled by girls the same semester
as she. This system left all eighth
semester girls ineligible to vote.
According to the WSGA, WRA
voting regulations, every woman
student on campus is eligible to
vote for WSGA president and
vice-president and for all offices
in WRA.

Faculty Encouraging
Despite Cynicism
About Coeds
When asked their opinion of
the ideal coed certain men stu
dents interviewed recently seemed
to be a little bitter about the
whole thing, but two faculty
members, Thomas D. Bowman of
the English literature depart
ment, and Vito J. Di Vincenzo of
the Spanish department are much
more encouraging.
"The Penn State coed compares
favorably in beauty and intelli
gence with any university coed,"
said Mr. Di Vincenzo, "and the
tact that the winner will appear
on Sammy Kaye's radio show
should certainly be an incentive
for women to enter the contest."
Mr. Bowman feels that "the
typical Penn State coed is con
scientious, well - mannered, viva
cious, self-possessed—and pleas
