See Here, Mr. Rubenstein
TO THE EDITOR: Mr. Rubenstein, Mr. Ferdi
nand-Lundberg is so right, you are so wrong. It
wasn't what he said, it was the way he said it—
wasn't it, Mr. Rubenstein? Let me ask you, isn't
it better that over 500 people, in this country
(1937), have incomes of over $lOO,OOO, than only
250 people having incomes of over $20,000 in So
cialistic England (1948)? (It would seem to me as
though the possibilities of reward for creative
ability and initiative are much greater here than
any place else in the world.) Of course you and I
will probably never reach that pot of gold, but at
least we will have enough personal pride to say
that we were never fooled by the "advocates" of
a Utopian state, that we never were the ones who
instigated the action that would lead to a Welfare
State, the amplification of the "dole" system, aren't
we, Mr. Rubenstein?
Main Street owns Wall Street, Mr. Rubenstein,
not vice-versa. Main Street is the market place for
the FREE exchange of goods, it buys and sells
Wall Street every day of the week—in the form
of stocks; bonds, bank deposits, insurance policies,
ete.—it makes Wall Street. I'm afraid that when
Main Street goes, there will be an awful lot of
plain people with guns in their backs saying good
by to it. What do you think, Mr. Rubenstein?
Just one more point. I'm all for these "sixty"
families that "run" this country. (I'd still be for
them if it was only thirty.) I believe they are giv
ing me more freedom than any one Hitler, Stalin,
Lenin, Genghis Khan, or would be "progressive"
dictator in this country would ever care to. It
may be an "informal, invisible and shadowy oli
garchy" but I think it's to be preferred to the
very formal, very visible and very clearly seen
Storm Troopers or NKVD of an autocracy. What
do you think, Mr. Rubenstein?
Seems Unanswerable
TO THE EDITOR: At first glance, Mr..Bapuji's
letter of today seems unanswerable. It is hard to
imagine that someone has been in the country long
enough to master the language without achieving
a better understanding of Americans than Mr.
Bapuji apparently has.
I'm not saying that we're right, but we do enjoy
throwing pies at people when it's all in fun. And
when the fun means money for textbooks for
Philippine schools, we don't mind having the pies
thrown at us.
To the best of my knowledge, there is no "intel
lectual class" here. We're lucky, and we realize it,
ko live in a country where both rich and poor
have a chance for a college education.
All we can ask from you, Mr. Bapuji, is a little
patience with us—if some of the things we do
nauseate you, the reverse is probably true for
Americans in your homeland—and we certainly
hope they'll try to be tolerant, and learn to under
stand that there are many ways of doing and look
ing at nearly everything. —Jim Dunaway.

Burney Relates Summer Work
In Amerian Zone of Germany
(This is the fifth of a series of eight articles on summer
work camp experiences of several members of the student body.
Further information concerning similar projects to be conducted
this summer can be obtained by contacting the PSCA office, 304
Old Main.)
As told to the Daily Collegian by Virginia Lou Burney, a worker
in the American Military Government zone
of Germany, last summer.
Buildings are only of secondary importance in the construction
of better relationships and more understanding between the youth
of Germany and the United States. It is true that rebuilding of the
war-torn country is a physical necessity.
Because of the American Military Government and its well
known red tape, we had only three nations represented in our
Stuttgart camp last summer.
There were Americans, English
and German students. Only these
nationalities were able to secure
permission to enter the country
and to join in an ambitious work
camp project.
Work Begins Early
Our working day began at 7
a. m. and ended at 4 p. in. Elec
tricity and plumbing were not
yet restored to this vicinity. We
attacked a small field with picks
and shovels, leveling and filling
in the holes. This field was ad
jacent to two buildings we were
to construct. As the men dug out
bricks and iron pipes, girls scrap
ed the bricks with small ham
mers and eventually stacked up
40,000 for reuse. By summer's
end, the laborers had completed
a modest play-ground for the
scrawny children born during
the war and now swarming over
the Stuttgart streets.
Work was also begun on a
neighborhood center. Trenches
were dug for foundations made
of the bricks. A small army bar
racks was dismontled and moved
across the city to provide a cen
ter for the children. When the
reassembling project was com-

pleted, there was a place for
hundreds of children to develop
recreational talents.
As important as the physical
work accomplished were the ex
periences of communal living un
der such difficult and congested
conditions. Food was the major
problem for an, and was accent
uated for Americans who were us
ed to plenty. We found ourselves
furnished with the standard diet
of Stuttgart, a diet as meager as it
was unappetizing. Vegetables
and fruit were luxury items. This
was the diet all Germans said
was better than they received at
home.
We students were the benefici
aries of all these experiences. We
learned in the most personal and
emphatic way that something
difficult to attain is a real pos
sibility.
