Let's Not Ignore
Selection Of Gift
If the situation last year provides any indica
tion, seniors—or It least senior class leaders—
are going to become rather excited over the
disposal of funds remaining in the class
treasury. Traditionally, such funds are appro
priated for a gift from the class to the College.
The big problem here is selection of the gift.
SERIOUS CONSIDERATION should be given
to selection of a gift at an early date. In the
past this was not done, partly because the exact
amount of money available was not known
until late in the spring semester. It would seem
that an appropriate figure could be determined
now, thus more or less setting limits on the
size of the gift that could be purchased.
Seniors—with the possible exception of
senior class leaders—previously have demon....
strafed a lack of interest in most class activi
ties as commencement day has neared. If
open discussion of the project were initiated
now and if a definite schedule for selecting
the gift were set up, perhaps more seniors
would take an interest in the proceedings. If
a new method is not adopted, there will be
the old disinterest, rush, and confusion com
mon to past graduating classes.
Many seniors may not see any sense in' de
voting time to a project most of them do not
expect to see in its completed stage. To a great
degree, value of the gift to Penn State will
depend on the time and investigation given its
selection by class members.
SENIORS CLASS LEADERS and class mem
bers should think hard and think now of meth
ods for increasing class participation in the gift
project. It should not be approached with the
feeling that this graduating class cannot be ex
pected to demonstrate any more interest than
those of past years.
If you, a senior, have what you believe is a
good suggestion for appropriation of She gift
fund, get it to the class president, John Erick
son now. If you have an idea for increasing
class participation in the project, present that
too.
The odds against developing a little life in a
senior class at Penn State are heavy. But they
aren't unbeatable. The selection of a class gift
is one project in which it would pay to beat
them.
West Dorm Refuse
Spring weather greeted students as they re
turned to the campus this week. Greeting West
dorm residents, in addition, was the sight of
rubbish still cluttering the dorm area lawns.
This no doubt was a souring sight for those who
had returned from home towns where the city
dump is not situated in the residential areas.
As has been noted previously,.probably, just
a few students are responsible for this situation.
But it is easy, especially for visitors, to attribute
the condition to actions of the entire dorm group
or, possibly, of the entire student body.
West dorm council is promoting a clean-up
project which already has resulted in disposal
of the refuse. It is time that the project be put
into high gear. The council is quick to act in
making requests of the administration. Let it
now be as quick in demonstrating that it and
the students it represents are capable of caring
for facilities at their disposal.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN,. STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA,
Soccer Team Takes
Goodwill To Iran
Many, many great athletic teams or brilliant
individual performers have swept lusterously
across the Penn State sports stage but none
seems to bask so consistently in the headlines
as the Nittany soccer team.
ALTHOUGH the College Department of Pub
lic Information inadvertently forgot the Lion
booters in its recent Penn State winning -streak
research, the United States State department
did not. It selected Bill Jeffrey's crack soccer
aggregation for a trip to the Middle East to fos
ter American-Iranian goodwill.
The Penn State heroes have been treated with
a kindness worthy of the old Shans and it is
quite certain that Bill Jeffrey's fine athletes
will do no damage to reputation of Americans
as either performers or sportsmen.
Thus the Lion hooters, who are the first
American soccer team ever to appear in Iran,
have . gained international recognition after
many years as a national soccer power.
Penn State students have just cause to swell
their chests in pride for this outstanding contri
bution of their soccer team.
Safety Valve . . .
Non-Students Should Pay
TO THE EDITOR: I was called in to the
Campus patrol office for parking on the campus.
When I entered the office (it was 9:30 a.m.) the
lady there had to break away from her Daily
Collegian long enough to, lecture me on break
ing rules. As she talked, I couldn't help thinking
that she was breaking a few rules herself. First
she wasn't working, and second she was reading
a paper which we students pay for. How do
these employees around. here get away with it?
Another thing, why does the College continue
to let all these gray-headed students into Rec
hall for athletic contests when seats are always
hard to find? You see hundreds of people up
there who don't belong there and don't pay their
way in.
My point is, if they must take our papers arid
seats, the least we can do is charge them for it.
Maybe then they could do away with the $7.50
grab they lift from our book refunds before we
even get to see it. The G.I. bill is supposed to
cover books but the College always nips nine
or ten dollars off the check before we get it
back; and that ten dollars could be put to very
good use when you're trying to raise a family
these days.

Marshall Fears
Complacency
How can General Marshall, who has indicated that he does not
expect an early war, say that the general world situation is more
serious than it was last November?
In November, as you will recall, Communist China entered the
Korean war and .threw the United Nations army back into South
Korea after it had appeared a complete allied victory was at hand.
'A SITUATION WAS CRE
ATED which led to fear that
either a general war would start
in the Far East, or that Russia
would take advantage of the situ
ation for further dangerous ad
ventures.
The United States military
program went into high gear.
The people were confused and
many, perhaps most of them,
wanted to get out of Korea.
Congress stuck to the ball, and
to preparedness. -
Now, by the general's testi
mony, there has been a let-down.
He seefns to be particularly dis
turbed at Congressional hesita
tion over universal military train
ing and over amendments to the
bill which he wrote.
UNIVERSAL MILITARY train
ing is not only a system for pro
viding, more cheaply than any
other way, a pool of . military
strength from which to meet any
emergency. It is firm notice to
Russia that the United States is
aware of, willing and capable of
meeting, the long-range require
ments of the power fight in which
the world has become involved.
This, rather than any fear of
immediate war, would seem to
be in the general's mind as he
criticizes the let-down in Am
erica's feeling of emergency,
and why Chairman Vinson of
the House Armed Services
committee echoes the view.
Any let-down in Atherica's de-
Air Force Program Set
For Training 1200 Men
Dr. James Gemmell, associate professor of business education,
who is directing the College program for training Air Force clerk
typists, recently reported that many of the airmen in the group are
college graduates and that others have completed a part of their
college education. The training the men are receiving is not of
college level, but is specialized'
training.
Five staff members were pre
sent to initiate the program last
week. Gemmell said that as many
as 50 or 60 instructors may be
necessary as th e enrollment
reaches its peak of 900 during the
summer.
According to present plans, 75
additional trainees will arrive
each week. During the entire
program, about 1200 will have
completed the work.' Each trainee
will complete 360 hours of work
during his 12-week period on
campus.

termination to do the job which
she has undertaken will only be
taken by Russia as a sign of
weakness and an encouragement
for adventures which could lead
quickly to war.
IN NO OTHER perceptible way
has the world situation worsened
since November. The war in Ko
rea has been going very well.
Russia is negotiating in Paris in
stead of marching on Berlin, Bel
grade, or Tehran. Failure of the
negotiations could produce a cri
sis, as happened in 1939 when
Britain and France failed to reach
an agreement with the Kremlin,
and Russia allied herself with
Adolf Hitler.
But reports from inside Eu
rope have it that Russia has not
mobilized her forces there for
war this spring, despite war
like activities in her Balkan
satellites. There is no indica
tion that the Kremlin, counting
heavily upon the West to weak
en itself economically and per
mit infiltration, has yet met a
barrio/Lb sufficiently strong to
convince it that the one great
ganible—war—is now the only
remaining weapon.
But U.S. complacency, such as
the idea that we Will soon be
able to fight an all-out war and
still supply more goods for the
civilian economy, could lead Rus
sia to the belief that now is a
good time.
