Owners, Students
Break Liquor Laws
The recent raid by members of the State
Liquor Control B‘iard and State College police
which resulted in fining six College students
is the first sign that enforcement authorities
plan to do something about the drinking regu
lations now on the books.
The recent raid was one of the few within
the memories of most College seniors. Most
students have heard about state minor laws
and local regulations. A law is just so much
writing, however, unless it is enforced.
Unless a law is enforced, it stands an excel
lent chance of not being obeyed. We are not
prepared to make a social commentary in ref
erence to drinking laws, but if the law is on
the books it should be followed up.
While it is not always true, sometimes pub
owners are just as responsible for violations as
underage drinkers. The pubs are equally re
sponsible if they make no attempt to check
for minors. When they do, however, many
underage students are able to produce matricu
lation cards which do not belong to them.
In cases where minors have not been asked
for proof of identification, the tavern owner is
held accountable. In those other cases where
students offer falsified ages the student is held
accountable. In cases where a sign is posted
"No Minors Allowed" the minor is breaking the
law simply by entering.
Minor violations require equal responsi
bility on the part of the tavern owners and
students.
Tomorrow is Day
To Cheer Cagers
Regardless of the outcome of its current road
trip, Penn State's basketball team has won its
way into the affection and support of every
loyal son and daughter of Nittany.
Prepared for just another basketball season
when the campaign started, Penn Staters were
pleasantly surprised and delighted when the
club caught fire, won fifteen in a row and
climbed to thirteenth in the national standings.
The current basketball squad has earned the
support Penn Staters have given it. More than
once the team has come from behind to make
up what appeared to be an insurmountable
margin. That was the case at West Virginia
when they beat one of the best teams in the
country. It was the case again at West Point
where they were trailing by 15 points in the
first period.
The club finally ran out of gas against Penn,
but not until it had put on a spine-tingling
last period rally that fell just two points short
of the Quakers.
Everything is set to make the welcome home
rally a pleasant surprise for the team, the
same kind of surprise they have been giving
Penn Staters with their hustling brand of
basketball. On hand will be former coach
John Lawther and Prexy Milton Eisenhower.
Will you be there too?
Rush Ideas False
False rumors have been going around campus
concerning sorority rushing which begins today.
The three most prevalent are that some soror
ities are not rushing, that sorority members
check rushees' clothes labels, and that a rushee
must participate in extra-curricular activities
to be pledged.
Most sororities have between 10 and 15 va
cancies, according to records in the Dean of
Women's office. The lowest number of vacan
cies in any sorority is six. A few groups have
room for more than 20 girls.
Sororities judge a rushee on the basis of
character and personality rather than on the
price of her dress. Such ideas stem from the
movie "Take Care of My Little Girl" and other
fiction material.
Sororities encourage pledges to go out for
activities and some require it, but no sorority
demands its rushees be active in extra-cur
ricular activities.
Panhellenic Council officers will explain
rushing and answer questions of prospective
rushees at 11 a.m.. today in 121 Sparks.

2 Strikes Against
NATO Conference
Hopes are slim for . any sensational final
developments from the current council meet
ing of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
which opened in Lisbon this week. Even before
the meeting opened, it had two strikes against
success.
The first strike is the overwhelming size
of ifs goal. The council aims to organize a
commonwealth (European Defense Commun
ity). and an army (European Defense Force),
and to do both at the same time. Never before
in history has such a bold effort been at
tempted.
Among the numerous jobs of the council are
to create the structure of a commonwealth of a
free Europe; to develop blueprints for an inter
national army of 43 divisions, a navy and an
air force; to decide which nations will pay
how much of the armament costs; and to de
termine Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's important
new powers over the supply set-up and trans
porting, quartering and supply of troops. All
of which adds up to a task decidedly large.
The second strike against the NATO meeting
is French objection to German rearmament for
the defense force. France has nightmares of
being alone on the continent with an armed
Germany which has invaded French soil from
the time of Bismarck to Hitler.
Socialist-dominated Franc e, no longer a
world power of• any importance, is having a
' hard time subordinating its national emotions.
She seems to place less importance on the
larger good of Western European safety
against Soviet aggression.
French fear of a new German Wehrmacht
made it necessary for Premier Edgar Faure
to gamble the life of his month-old cabinet to
push the European Army plan through the
French National Assembly; but not before the
socialist government had tucked in a compro
mise; German , recruiting must be delayed until
the pact is formally ratified.
The end of the Lisbon meeting will not see
the final solution of French distrust of Ger
many, nor of the many other problems con
fronting NATO; but time is with us. The loss
of a battle does not mean the loss of a cam
paign.
Policy in China
The 'Only Way'
The United States policy in the Far East fre
quently takes a beating in the American press,
in public speakers and in ordinary conversa
tions.
In a speech made recently in Pittsburgh, Dr.
Charles E. Sc ot t, "veteran missionary and
scholar of the Orient," pointed out that "who
ever understands China has the key to world
history for the next 500 years," and "whoever
dominates China will dominate the world more
effectively than Rome dominated the ancient
world." He condemns U.S. foreign policy as
partial to Europe and neglectful of the Orient.
Just exactly what the United States and the
United Nations should do instead of following,
their present policies, Dr. Scott doesn't say.
However, if he is involving that this country
should send troops to the Orient for defense
as we are doing to Europe, or that the U.N.
should invade China or aid such an invasion,
we fear that Dr. Scott is not quite so much a
"veteran scholar" of the Orient as the Post-
Gazette story might first lead the reader to
believe.
In the first place, to the Oriental, the Western
nations are imperialistic. The Chinese, for in
stance, have not forgotten the colonial exploi
tation by Britain and France, nor the Opium
wars of the middle of the nineteenth century.
True, the united States did not share in these
activities, but our Open Door policy, contracted
after these events had taken place, demanded
for the United States equal rights with other
Western powers. This has been interpreted by
the Communists to implicate the United States
morally in the guilt of these imperialistic in
justices.
In the light of this, Uncle Sam is far from
being the benefactor the Chinese would wel
come with open arms. ~From where they sit
he's rather a suspicious character whose inten
tions have to be . watched and studied.
This is hard for Americans to realize. But it
is not unfair for the Chinese to believe this.
Communist indoctrination has capitalized on an
•old sore spot to plant seeds of suspicion in the
minds of the Chinese just as it has done in
other , countries which it has taken_ over. We
must understand this if we are to be of any
help whatever to a country which desperately
needs our help.
In the second place, an actual invasion of
China is the most impossible speculation any
one could entertain. We cannot disorganize
agricultural Chinese economic life by bomb
ing a few metropolitan centers as might be
done • in industrialized, metropolitan United
States. The Japanese bombed China heavily
for seven years (1939-1945) •-and -never •
conquered her. An invasion of that vast coun
try would be virtually impossible and, even
if we did conquer her, we would have two
more tremendous problems. First, we would
have to carry a war into Russia to annihilate
communism at its source; then we would have
the problem of policing the two countries.
In the light of all this, it would seem that
the United States is understanding Chinathat
our present Policy toward,her-wins by detiult...
It's the only'thing.we can do.

Many men try to peer into the future and predict what. Joe
and Moe and Mable will• be doing in Atomic year 2010. ' -•":
They try to squint through the fog to •see 'whether the globe
will be One World or no world, at all. And mostly these seers••cOihe
to the conclusion that there be a big, black void where the, world
once was. •
The predictions of the future are mostly pessimistic,- so:
with relief that we cameacross
some optimistic words on the sub
ject from one of the well-known
scholars of our age.
Dr.'James Bryant Conant, presi
dent of Harvard University has
the courage to predict a "future"
for the world and its inhabitants.
He goes out on a limb and says
that many men and women will
continue to be unrekimented even
in the ominous year 1984. Conant
sees the great cities of • London,
Paris, New York, and Moscow
still standing unscathed by atomic
devastation.
Conant admits that the Marx
ist-Lenin philosophies will still
be honored in many parts of
the globe, but he also claims
that the motto "Liberty, Equal
ity, Fraternity" will be likewise
honored in other vast areas.
The great scientific discoveries
of the future cannot even be
guessed, according to Harvard's
president. He does predict that
coal and the liquid energies will
be exhausted as power sources
before the year 2000; Conant sees
the sun as the coming great source
of energy.
