Amendment Makes ill Palatable Should the state loyalty oath bill be amended as has been recommended by members of the legislature— and there is every indication that it will be— it will be a victory for sane and responsible civil rights legislation. The recommended changes would not simply amend the bill, but change it in its entirety. It would be a victory for the educators, and liber als, and the less hysterical members of the electorate. What the amendments would do to the most objectionable parts of the bill is this: 1. Substitute the federal oath for the pro posed state measure. 2. Place responsibility for policing subver sive activities within colleges and schools in the hands of the college presidents and the school boards. 3. Take from the state attorney general the power to declare organizations and persons subversive. The substituticin of the federal method is im portant because it will put some real teeth into the bill. The state bill would require public employes to take an oath, hoping to catch sub versives on perjury charges. Many legal minds contend, however, that falsely taking an oath is not perjury in itself. The federal method has no such loopholes. The most important of the proposed changes would place the responsibility for handling subversives upon the colleges themselves— where that authority rightfully should stay. Penn State and the other schools involved have enough authority now to deal with any and all subversives within their faculties. The amendment recognizes this and does not im pose an additional—and unnecessary—check on the colleges. Equally important is the fact that the bill as amended would strip the attorney general of the power to name organizations or groups as sub versive. That no one person can be given such power without endangering our democratic pro cesses is obvious. We still take the position that loyalty oaths for college faculty members are not necessary. If there is to be any such legislation, however, the proposed amendments should be included. 808 HOPE MARILYN MAXWELL "LEMON DROP KID" l 4 * ammommam. SILVANA MANGANO "BITTER RICE" RICHARD WIDMARK BARBARA BEL GEDES "PANIC IN THE STREETS" THE DAILY 6OLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve . . • Explains Action .On Languages TO THi l EDITOR: It is apparent that some clarification of the' Liberal Arts Student Coun cil's action in recommending discontinuance of foreign language requirements for economics and commerce students is necessary. Before the move can be fully understood,, the critic must put aside the popular misconception ,that the department is productive only of "walking statistical machines," contributes nothing toward the building of better citizens, and is purely Vocational. Insurance courses, for example, instruct individuals in the theories of risk and the nature and value of sound person al insurance proarams, reducing the possibility of larger relief rcills, and penniless widows. The student learns the philosophy and func tions of public finance—how ,and why his taxes are computed and were the money goes. He learns the principlge'business law by which his daily life are affected. Further, the idea that the department is for saking the other philosophies, histories, et al, is false. A man cannot be successful in business without a liberal background and an intelligent outlook politically, morally, sociologically, and spiritually. What the council seeks, to do is replace sub ject matter which has limited value with that which has more. Speech, English Composition, and business • letter writing, greater amounts of time spent on business ethics and the philo sophies of service rather than greed are the ...needs of economics and commerce students. Of all the liberal arts requirements as they now stand, those in foreign languages are the only ones considered for elimination, not be cause they have no value, but because they have less value to these particular students in building sound, conscientious citizens in the business world, without which even an institu tkon such . as Penn State would be impossible. —J.

That is just what the allies suspected MacArthur of trying to do—ignore their opinions. It brought a deal of pressure on the Tru man administration. It caused Europeans to look on MacArthur, for the moment, as more danger ous to their long-range policies than even the Kremlin . . If there is one thing more true about the conflict with Russia than any , other, it is that unified world opinion and world co operation against communist im perialism is essential. Remove the sanction of the United Nations from American intervention' in Korea, and you have immediately a situation that is already diffi cult enough to .avoid— a situ ation in which Asiatic opinion about, American intentions will be more seriously divided than ever. In fact, it would just abOut put the clincher on their feeling that there is no good choice be tween Russia and the West. The U.N., torn by conflicting interests already, with its most influential members far more in terested in the practical defense of Western Europe than - in an idealistic defense of Korea; ' has just about washed its hands of the affair, leaving the whole business up to the United. States. d to be taking Spanish at this hour— had French last semester." ' By J. M., ROBERTS, JA. AP Foreign Affairs Analyst But the American commander in Korea still commands token for ces from more than a dozen other countries; and the delegation to Washington of the U.N.'s auth ority for conduct of the war does not mean that their ideas are to be ignored. This is a fact of life, to be taken into consideration regardless of who is right and who wrong. The U.S. could' be everlastingly right and still lose the cold war, still invite defeat in any hot war, if her actions caused defection from the ranks of the Allies. MacArthur is a strong soldier. It is only natural that a soldier should chafe when he thinks him self handcuffed by political con sideration. America is strong, and willing to fight. But Americans have not looked into the faces of base mented children while the bombs crump crump outside. Until they have shared that feeling, they are going to have to compromise a bit with the feelings of those who have. . . FRIDAY, MAY. 11; 1951 By Bibler
