Excess Curb Has Weaknesses • One of the proposals of the executive com mittee of the American Council of Education designed to curb excesses in intercollegiate ath letics calls for all assistance to athletes to be channeled through the colleges, which will ad minister the aid. This measure is aimed at alumni clubs and booster's organizations which raise funds for athletic scholarships and admfnister them without adhering to the academic and other standards set up by the colleges. This is one of the more intelligent moves of the college presidents. But unfortunately it leaves a loophole which many unscrupulous in stitutions will be quick to take advantage of. The A.C.E. ruling is effective insofar as it will put a check on the semi-official organizations which interest themselves in athletics. But what does the A.C.E. propose to do about alumni and friends of 'colleges who will aid athletes on their own? There is simply no form of regulation or means of enforcement which will prevent an alumnus from "adopting" an athlete, and providing him with the wherewithal to go to college, including "pocket money." About the only suggestion we have heard to this date which would attempt to deal with this was made by Penn State football coach Rip Engle. Coach Engle suggested that athletes tak ing aid from sources other than the colleges should •be declared ineligible for intercollegiate competition. But we wonder how effective will be even this attempt at a solution of a perplexing prob lem. How is it to be enforced? Certainly the alumnus foster-parent isn't going to advertise his generosity, nor is the athlete going to ac knowledge that he is the recipient of illegal aid. Insofar as the A.C.E. action on outside aid for athletes goes, it is a move in the right direction. If we are to be realistic, however, we must recognize that the ruling will not be a complete solution of the problem of ille gal aid to athletes. Even Forced Unity Will Aid Europe Evidence of a new tolerance in European relations •is shown in the recent agreement whereby both France and Germany will be in cluded in the unified European army now be ing set up by the North Atlantic Treaty Organ ization. Both France and Germany spent several hec tic weeks agreeing to the proposal which would include German troops in the unified army, and both sides signed the deal reluctanpy. But the important thing is that the arch-enemies of Europe for generations have agreed to work together. Last year, both countries put the Schuman plan for cooperative coal production and dis tribution in operation. Now they have gone even further and signed a military pact. This harmony has been forced on both countries, partly because of Anglo-American pressure, and partly because France and Ger many realize that to survive in a hostile world and in a Europe that could explode any moment, they must cooperate. Twenty-five years ago any cooperative suggestion would have been scoffed at by the two countries as impossible, then or ever. So now we have cooperation, admittedly half forced, between countries that formerly had nothing but enmity for each other. This cer tainly shows improvement in world relations and gives rise to the thought that One World may be far in the future—but it may be in the future after all. Manila, the capital of the Philippines, is the largest city in the islands. Peru is bounded on the north by Ecuador and Columbia, on the east by Brazil and Bolivia and on the south by Chile. —Moylan Mills THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Youth's Character Result of Society While it may be true that there has been a moral breakdown in college life, as has been contended by Rev. John Peabody, the moral breakdown which reflects itself on the college campus is only a smaller part of a deterioration which manifests itself in almost every phase of public and private life. Rev. Peabody cites the recent exposures of basketball fixes, and widespread cheating as an- indication of the poor job of character training being done by the colleges. This may be so, but the colleges face a diffiCult task in character training. The difficulty in character training arises from the fact that colleges must attempt to imbue characteristics in students which go against the moral fiber in their background. Students are no different than the general populace, although it is assumed that the col lege student has a • higher intelligence. But after that, there is little or no difference. • The student is still largely the , product of his environment, and the environment is the product of the modern age, with its fast pace, almost constant threat of world conflict, dis ruption of the personal lives of millions, and the other disillusioning contributory factors of the times. The student who took money to shave points on the basketball court sees freezers and mink coats changing hands in Washington, and closer to home he sees colleges reaping great profit from amateur intercollegiate athletics. The college cheater and point shaver is only doing what society as ' a whole is doing—and in a great many instances getting away with. The pattern of moral breakdown in college is virtually the same as the larger moral break down; it merely expresses itself within the fabric of college life and activity. The colleges are fighting a difficult battle in their efforts to imbue students with charac ter, for the character values the college en courages are scoffed at in the community. But colleges being by tradition and purpose those vehicles of society whose purpose is to better mankind, it is their job to apply their skill and knbwhow to the task of making men better. It is highly unlikely, lo u t better college men may cast a brighter reflection on society as a whole. Band at Games? So the basketball team lost three games in a row. So the guys were tired out from a rough schedule and lost the games in the closing min utes when they could hardly drag themselves around the court. So tonight, of all nights, the team needs avid support when it meets a dangerous West Virginia team. The West - Virginia fans will be. up at State in force to seek revenge for the one point defeat State handed them earlier in the season. The students who traveled to Morgantown for the first game were impressed with the West Virginia spirit. The team had great sup port from the sidelines. Some of the students wondered out loud why State couldn't give its team comparable ,support. The fact that the Mountaineers had a band at the previous game accounted for much of the spirit. Perhaps the famous Penn State Blue Band could be induced ,to play for this game or future games of like importance. Coupled with some rousing cheering and the hearty playing of "Blue and White," the Penn State five could be spurred back on the victory road against an arch-rival. Many college teams use their bands at bas ketball games. It might be a practice which Penn State could well follow. Gazette ...

Little Mau On Campus j r 3 C-9 Q ( "Remember„ Workman; just two .mo Fundamental The world 'has been conveniently chopped into two segments— a "free" world and a "slave" world._ LuMped together the former includes the United States and her allies; the latter is Russia and her satellites. But more important than the two opposing units is a group of nations that sit on the fence betlkeen •them. To snare a few of these middle-of-the-roaders, Russia has used intrigue and Gestapo-like control within the victim's borders. Where violence was necessary to per suade- local politicos that a Rus they disappeared, died of heart at tacks, or leaped from windows. That is one method of absorb ing the fence sitters. It is frowned upon by the Western allies, and it led to a United Nations police action in Korea. There is a pos sibility that the method c ould start World War lll—for instance if Russia attempted to use it on India. The free world, on the other hand, while its method is more refined does, nevertheless,. leave itself open for criticism. Since the free world is loosely composed of individual nations with indi vidual policies there must be a separate analysis of their attempts to attract the fence sitters. For example,. Britain in main taining, that the 'Suez Canal is vital both to the Empire and to the defense of the Middle East did rush troops to defend the canal area which the Egyptians wanted., In the major defensive action to thwart Russia, the aspir ations of a lesser country were stifled. The move by Britain al most precipitated a revolution throughout the Moslem world. Prior to the armed action in the canal zone, Britain had at-. tempted to attract the Egyptians with a revised edition of the Anglo-Egyptian treaty. But she moved too slowly and with too little toward the Egyptians way of thinking. / In another case, the Unit ed -M. M.
