Cushman, head of the department of gov ernment at ' Cornell university, said last night. .'He spoke before about 200 per sons at the third Liberal Arts lecture. Cushman said further that stubborn people beyond reproach will not sign the oaths, and sub versives are not foolish enough to sign. ' The oaths, _ he said, are serious threats to liberty and security. He cited the overzealous attempts by state and local governments to pass loyalty laws similar to that passed by the federal government. 300 Statutes There are 300 state statutes dealing with subversive activities, Cushman said. In. checking on the civil liber ties balance up to 1951, Cushman said the nation has made decided gains. He said that freedom of the press has been protected by judicial decisions, religious liber ty is assured by the first amend ment to the Constitution, and the Southern negro is making steady gains to rise from a second-class citizenship. Losses Pose Threat Cushman said, however, the Josses pose a- threat to freedom. Policies and procedures in com bating the rise of Communiim have not been wisely chosen. There are four methods used here, Cushman said. . ,1. Legislative invest! gat i n g committees. - ■2. Loyalty programs for gov ernment. employees. . 3. Loyalty oath requirements in institutions outside the govern ment. 4. Legislation such as the Mc- Carran act. Conviction Invalid Th e conviction of loyalty boards that contact with Commu nists afflicts a person with that doctrine is invalid, Cushman said. He pointed out that Republicans and Democrats associate without fear of mutual contamination. Tlie theory of guilt by associa tion, therefore, has been carried out to its extreme, he said. It is injustice, Cushman said, to the honest and patriotic liberal to say he is a Communist because of past affiliations. College May Get Veterina »y School A bill to establish a school of veterinary medicine at the College was introduced in the slate House of Representatives yesterday. .

' Senior class presidential nomi nees Dave Olmstead, State, and John Stoudt, Lion, will be asked for their views on class problems. Michael Hanek, State, and Joseph Haines, Lion, will be asked ques tions pertinent to the Junior class. Both are running for the presi dency of the class. The two parties were preparing to bring their campaigns to a halt today with last minute, plans being made to get out the vote for the election tomorrow and Thursday. Worth On WMAJ Worth,- State candidate, will deliver a radio address tonight over WMAJ. at 10:15. The talk will be a rebuttal to the Lion party declaration made, in this edition of the Collegian. Murray Goldman, State party chairman, said that Worth .will refute what he called “exagger ated statements,” made by Milton Bernstein, chairman of the Lion party. ’ , Chairman of the election com mittee Edwin Barnitz. said yester day that cards saying, “I voted— did you?.”,'. yrill be distributed to the students. Barnitz; said that the committee would try to get a majority- of the students to the polls for the first time in the his tory of campus politics. Voting Tomorrow The polls, in .Old Main will be open : tomorrow and 'Thursday from 8:30 a.m. t0'5:30 p.m. con tinuously. Matriculation cards must be presented by'the voters. According to the elections code, all students .of the College may vote for the All-College offices. Only sixth, and seventh semester students may vote for the senior class officers: ' Fourth and fifth semester stu dents are eligible to vote for the junior Class candidates; Budget Woes Assail Youth The youth of today have their budget problems, Dr. Ruth R. Honey, associate professor of fami ly economics and housing, learned from her students. Many children get money as gifts, strict allowances, pay. for family chores, and unlimited charge accounts. Others earn mon ey outside the home. . Students agreed that the .child who earned his spending money also learned the true value.of it. They also decided that children should not be paid- for family chores since all the family should share in contributing to family life. An allowance, the students felt, aided a child to realize the value of money. It should begin at an early age, possibly with a sum of 10 or 15 cents, and should be in creased as need, arises. The. allow ance should be stopped only in case, of a family emergency and not as a disciplinary measure. STATE COLLEGE, PA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 1951 Hershey Freezes Student Inductions Congress And'-Nation Ready For MacArthiir WASHINGTON, April 16 (TP) —Congress whipped through for mal arrangements today for Gen. Douglas MacArthur to tell his story to a joint session—and by radio and television to the nation— shortly after 12:30 p.m., (EST), Thursday. And Senate Republicans, voicing delight at the prospect of hearing MacArthur, called unanimously for an all-out congressional investigation of the Truman ad ministration’s foreign and mili tary policies. GOP objections to the Truman program mounted to a roar of protest with the President’s dis missal of MacArthur last week, and the deposed general’s flight to Washington (he’s due here early Thursday) fanned the flames of controversy to a new peak, A kind of “MacArthur fever” swept the capital today. It brought these developments: I—The House agreed unani mously to a joint meeting with the Senate to hear the general on Thursday. Senate agreement to move into the House chamber for the speech is just another for mality. It will be voted on to morrow. 2—Thirty-three Senate Repub licans agreed at a closed meeting to back the proposed investiga tion of Truman policies all over the world “in the light of Gener al MacArthur’s dismissal.” Back ers of the movement said they had a two-House inquiry in mind. 3—Mr. Truman assigned his military aide, Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,, to meet MacArthur at National airport. It looked as if the President would not see (continued from page fourteen) iids For Hat.

The forms are part of the cam paign being put on by the council to allocate rooms in the area on a semester seniority basis. A $lO deposit will be due early in May if the plan is approved by the administration. Blair Green Blair Green, vice-president of the council, said that the money would be refunded if sufficient notice is given to the dean of men’s office in advance. The council took no action on a proposal to ask the Association of Independent Men’s board of governor’s to allocate, money from the social budget to the various halls for affairs of their own, to replace the AIM all-College affairs. A request by the Women’s Stu dent Government association for the use of the main lounge on May 12 for the Mother’s day dance was approved by the council. The council also authorized its wel fare committee to meet jointly with a committee from the Nit tany-Pollock council to discuss guest .meal tickets.

Hee shey has frozen all inductions of college students until class stand ings and aptitude test grades can be determined. Hershey also said that the House of Representatives ap proval of a bill to let local boards determine college deferments does not affect present plans to give tests. “Speaking generally, no student will be denied permission to take the test because of his'draft board status. He will not be ordered in to service until the results of his test are known or his standing in his class is determined!” Hershey said. The general noted that many students are now attending school under induction postponement which end with the academic year, and that neither test scores nor class rankings will be avail able for several weeks after the schools close. Dates For Tests The tests will be given May 26, June 16, and June 30'. Under the present plans, which would be voided if the House-approved measure became law, deferments will be granted automatically by class standings and by test scores. About 1500 students received applications for draft defer ment aptitude tests in the base ment of Willard hall yesterday. Selective Service officials es timated that 5000 students are eligible to take the tests. The selective service team from Harrisburg will be on duty again from 10 o'clock this morning until 4:30 o'clock this afternoon. All students plan ning to take the deferment tests must file applications.. The top half of the present freshipan class, two-thirds of the sophomores, and three-quarters of the juniors would be deferred for another year of school work. In addition, any student scoring 70 per cent or above in the aptitude tests would be deferred.

District Attorney Edwin Will ard told a Collegian reporter following the inquest that no charges would be preferred against Klisanin, who is a candi date for All-College secretary treasurer. Powers of a coroner’s jury ex tend only to determining cause of death. Willard said that no evidence was brought out by any of the witnesses to indicate that Klis anin was driving recklessly. K was only under that condition that he could have been indicted, Willard said. Willard also said that, while Klisanin had been driving with out a license, this fact had no bearing on the case. He said that there has been a state Supreme Court decision that if an operator of a car involved in an accident had no license, it was not to be considered as a factor in the case.
