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.

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.

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. ' The faculty for the school has THURSDAY, MARCH 29, 1951 being shorter than Marge." By J. M. ROBERTS, JR. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst 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. its headquarters in Willow cot tage, formerly the dean of men's residence while classes are being held in Temporary building.
