Degler's series, "Height of Hysteria," he states that "the Nazis came into power because of the fear of Communism." Does it not appear now that the fears were justified? Mr. Degler also quotes Harold J. Laski to the effect that people who want to destroy the ex treme left are the greatest threat. Professor Laski is an avowed Communist and would quite nat urally say some such thing. I gathered from the article that Mr. Degler was suggesting that Communism, or parts of it, are good. In the face of all the Utopian "blessings" that Communism has brought to the U.S.S.R and her satellite countries, and taking it from one who has actually read Karl Marx, the only appropriate reply to such a suggestion is—NUTS! • Harold Laski is secretary general of the British Labor party and a professor of political science at the University of London. Egg Hunt Each Year TO THE EDITOR: The Easter egg hunt for the children of the Windcrest Area was a grand suc cess. Alpha Phi Omega wishes to sincerely thank all of the organizations on campus who have so wholeheartedly and generously supported this gala party. Let's make this the first step in establishing a Penn State tradition of having an egg hunt each year for all of the children of the town. The groups who supported this festival at which about two hundred children from Windcrest and their parents took part were Leonides, Penn State Club, Pan Hellenic Council, Nittany Council, Pol lock Circle Council, and the Nittany Dining Hall. A list of the little tots who won prizes for dis covering the most eggs, special prize eggs and for being the youngest participating egg hunter in cludes Marilyn Irene Rich, Connie Pithier, Carla Barber, Larry Joe Thomas, Bobby Rabold, Billy Meek, Mickey Mehal, Edwin Glaskow, Mary Zieg ler, John Folk Jr., Marian Post, Barbara Swanson, Marty Harnett, Bonnie Daniels, Jessie Barly, Gary Daniels, Tommy Christ, Richard King. I think that the students who supervised and helped direct this party had just as much fun as the kiddies, and to them I say thanks, also. —Richard H. Bustin, Chairman, Easter Egg Committee. —James Richards, Vice-president, Alpha Phi Omega. Senate Creates Calendar TO THE EDITOR: A friend called my atten tion to the item "Something Sacred" in the April 13 1949, Collegian. In the first place the College Scheduling Officer is in no way responsible for the structure of the College Calendar. The calendar is an instrument legislated by the College Senate. I am Chairman of the Senate Committee on Calendar which pre pares calendar material for the Senate. If any College employee should be singled out for criti cism related to the calendar, I suppose that I am your man. Neither I nor my associates on the Senate Com mittee on Calendar know all the answers. How ever, I am also suspicious that Mr. Bonnell has not investigated the College Calendar situation very thoroughly. If so, he would not have blamed the College Scheduling Officer—either politely or with sarcasm—for those peculiarities of the calen dar that displease him. I will be most happy to discuss with Mr. Bon nell the development of a calendar which will enable the College to meet its commitments and discharge its obligations, while at the same time providing more and longer vacations—not only for students but for some of us faculty and office employees who at present are "vacationless" dur ing many of the calendar "recesses." The next calendar revision is a year away—we work two years in advance—but a calendar is not made in a day. —E. W. Callenbach. Chairman, Senate Committee on Calendar. • Letter cut.

Late Prexy ; Ralph Dorn Hetzel's definition of Penn State spirit, although delivered at the 1931 Convocation, is still so appropriate that we humbly reproduce his words, believing that a renewal of observation of the ideals he so aptly expressed, is always in order. "We arrived at a definition of College spirit which I think cannot be challenged. College spirit is absolute and complete loy alty to the highest objectives and ideals of the College. "When we measured some of the existing so-called customs and traditions against this standard, their fallacy and their viciousness became perfectly clear. There was no mandate issued against them, no faculty rule propounded, there was only the conviction on the part of clean-minded, intelligent, loyal young men of high moral courage that these things should no longer be. "They said to me, 'Mr. President, with these things which clearly are vicious, you need no longer concern yourself.' And that has become the greatest, the noblest and the most sacred Penn State tradition. "At Penn State, the student body through its capable leader ship assumes the responsibility for guaranteeing that there shall not exist viciousness or harmful and destructive activity, whether this shall be disguised in the name of customs or traditions, or un controlled youthful impulse. "It is tradition at Penn State that every student practice from now on shall be measured against the ringing declaration that loy alty to Penn State in its most wholesome, constructive and highest objectives is the prevailing and governing consideration of its stu dent body. My experience during the past few years with Penn State men and women has given me the faith to leave it there.. "Of all the contemporary forces which are molding Penn State into greatness, I count none superior to this splendid devotion on the part of its student body. "At the opening of this College year I delegate to you with con fidence and with pride the vital responsibility of carrying on in keeping with these high standards and these worthy ideals."
