Faculty Opinions
Needed On Oath
Not knowing what the opinion of the entire
faculty would be on loyalty oaths, the faculty
advisory council not too long ago simply asked
that open hearings be held on that controversial
issue. Under the circumstances, that was the
wisest move to make at that time.
Apparently, however, the council felt that
such action was inadequate. As a result, the 25
members of the council were asked to poll the
faculties of their respective.schools.
The result of the council decision was' mir
rored in Tuesday's action by the faculty of the
School of Liberal Arts. At that time approxi
mately 100 LA faculty members voted unani
mously against loyalty oaths for professorS and
teachers.
Other schools might well follow the example
of the Liberal Arts School and conduct similar
votes.. Then a clear picture of faculty opinion
could be obtained.
With such information at its disposal, the
advisory council could speak clearly as the
representative of faculty opinion on the issue.
The stake of the faculty is big in this game.
Let its voice be heard.
Hell Week Scores
Hell week has added a point on the credit
side of the ledger, at least partly balancing the
bad publicity the perennial 'fraternity custom
has received recently.
A Penn State fraternity made a worthwhile
project part of the program for its pledges by
using the valuable manpower for a clean-up
job at the Center County Library.
Actions such as this can do a great deal to
erase some of the blackmarks on the fraternity
record. At the same time that work projects
prove themselves more valuable to the com
munity than nonsense projects, they will be
infinitely more valuable to the participant.
It is not too far fetched to imagine that a fra
ternity pledge would get more "fraternity spirit"
(which is what most fraternities claim as the
object of hell week) out of a constructive work
period than they would out of a trip to the local
prison or a brush with the local constabulary.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
Alma Mater Unfair?
Since this yeai marks the 50th anniversary
of the Alma Mater, it may be appropriate to
take the regular half-century inventory.
The revered song seems to run smoothly until
the verse that includes the words "Thou didst
mold us, dear Old State, into men."
It may occur to some that the women in the
student body mighty feel a bit- put out about
being "molded into men." To 'top it all off, they
have to admit it loudly through the Alma Mater.
It probably is a great enough blow to the
women students to be molded into men, but
to make them sing it out at public events
would seem too much.
Dr. Fred Lewis Pattee, the author of the
song, knew women were at Penn State; in fact
they had been matriculating here for 30 years
when he composed the College song. But some
how he decided against changing the wording to
haye the dear old institution mold women into
plain old women.
He was reported as saying, however, that he
"wondered" what the thousands of College
women thought as they sang - the words: "Thou
didst mold us, dear Old State, into men, into
men."
A thorough study of the subject would seem
necessary at this time.
Prothotion Stunts
PITTSBURGH, May 2—(AP)—Two University
of Pittsburgh students will canoe 195 miles
down the Allegheny river from Warren to Pitts
burgh starting May 11.
The students, James Rock and Lewis Mc-
Collough, will make the trip to advertise Pitt's
student festival, "Pitt Goes West:" They will be
dressed in Indian regalia, including headdress
and warpaint, and will paddle a canoe called
"the Panther."
Why can't we have something like that? If
Pitt can do it for their old spring festival, I
guess we. • can. We need some more promotion
stunts around here. Let's have all the coeds
enter a marathon race to Philadelphia or some
thing. That should be worth some publicity and
maybe a few laughs. Anything for a laugh..

Interpreting The News
Korea Action
Forecast In 1947
By J. M. ROBERTS, JR.
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
General Albert C. Wedemeyer, who forecast the communist
action in Korea in 1947, seems to fall into that category of prophets
who have in all history , been either persecuted or ignored because
they were too far ahead of their times.
The mistake made by the United States in withdrawing its
postwar occupation troops from South Korea without setting up a
force to balance the Russian
dominated Army of North Korea
has been recognized as an open
invitation to the Reds to do just
what they did last June.
The long-surpressed Wedemeyer
report- on the Korean angle is
almost uncanny in its accuracy.
It predicted a Soviet controlled
invasion by North Korean forces.
It said U.S. withdr.4wal would
result in a 'serious political and
psychological threat to China and
Japan. And that, you will re
member, was before the Reds
took over China.
Strong Interest
"The United States has a strong
strategic interest in insuring per
manent •Military neutralization of
Korea and its denial as a base to
the Soviet Union," the report
added.
American troops should have
stayed, until they had created an
American-officered scout force to
equal Communist armed strength
north of Parallel 38, it said. But
Russia left a satellite army, while
the United States left only a
lightly armed and inferior num-

ber of constabulary.
This report in 1947 seems al
most to have been written in the
light of everything that we know
today. It was not completely ig
nored by the President and the
State Department which had sent
Wedemeyer to make the study
because of his experience as war
time commander of American
troops iri China. American troops
did not withdraw until the Rus
sians did, it •is true. But no bal
ancing force was left. And while
the Russians retired to Manchur
ia, the Americans, for all practi
cal purposes, went home. For the
force retained in Japan was pri
marily for Japanese occupation,
not defense of American strategic
interests throughout the Far East.
The results of ignoring Wede
meyer's main suggestions are
heartbreakingly appareht in the
casuality lists from Korea. For
all the indications are that if the
Reds had known they had to
face America, the shooting would
not have begun.
