Town, Students Seen
In Better Relations
By DAVE JONES
The overall picture of student
borough relations is good and is
steadily improving, two borough
representatives told the Dean of
Men's advisory committee last
night.
Burgess Edward K. Hibshman
and Police Chief John R. Juba
said friction between the students
and the borough has notably de
creased this year. They also urged
the College's, student leaders to
help promote good relations by
discussion with the student body.
Will Leave Impression
The community has built up a
wonderful relationship with, the
fraternities alone in the past ten
years, Hibshman said, and co
operation between the two is 100
per cent better today.
Most students do not realize
what a public relations influence
they are, Hibshman added. If a
student shows a desire to help
visitors and to show off the Penn
State campus, he said, it will
leave a lasting impression that
will benefit the College.
Dean of Men H. K. Wilson Said
he has noticed the increase in
good student and borough rela
tions. He said this is realized
when his office is notified of each
TFIE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Three Indian Brothers
THREE BROTHERS from India, (left to right) Rustum, Shunil,
and Prodipto Roy, scan an issue of the Daily Collegian to keep up
with the latest campus news. The brothers find American women
playing field hockey pretty surprising.
Three I ndians Find
U. S. Customs Odd
Women playing field hockey, automobiles parked .solid for
seven city blocks, eating only three times a day and then food from
cans—these things seem nothing short of commonplace to Ameri
cans, but three brothers from India found them the most surpris
ing things they saw in America.
Rustum, Prodipto, and Shunil
Roy came to America and Penn
State from their home in Hazari
bagh (population, 40,000) in Bi
har, India, located in the eastern
half of the country. J
Rustum, or Rusty, 27, now a
research associate in geochemis
try, came here in 1945 on a schol
arship from his government to
study mica. He earned his bache
lor's and master's degrees from
the Universtiy of Patna in India,
and ,received his Ph.D. from Penn
State in 1948..
Americans, British Different
Dr. Roy met his wife while
studying here. Mrs. Roy, was
working for her degree in .min
eralogy too, and received her
Ph.D. this February. They are
both doing research at the. Col
lege. Since September, 1950, Rus
tum has been doing research on
synthetic crystals for the U. S.
Army Signal Corps.
Rustum said he was most sur
prised to find such a disparity
between the British and Ameri
cans. He says, "I expected the
Americans to be like the British,
who ruled our country, and was
quite astonished to find them so
different. Americans don't seem
to 'be as politically conscious as
our people. They doh't seem to
worry about anything. But then
they don't have to."
All three brothers speak per
fect English, có mpl e t e with
American slang, but with more
than traces of British accents.
"We are bilingual in India; we
learn English' before •you do,"
says Rustum.

7 to Head Open
House Groups
Seven sub-committee chairmen
from the Engineering Student
Council were named last night
for the Engineering school's open
house by Charles Falzone, presi
dent.
The council also heard sug
gestions for a mixer and the park
ing problem on the campus.
The sub-committee chairmen
named for the open house sched
uled for May 10 are Max Schus
ter, aeronautical en g i n e e r in g;
Daniel Snopkowski, mechanical
engineering; Charles Miller, civil
engineering; Herbert Hoover, in
dustrial engineering; Chest e r
Howells, electrical engineering;
Gifford Albright, architecture;
Fred Pope, military science and
tactics.
A mixer was suggested for the
new and old student councils and
the faculty after the Engineering
Student Council elections to be
held this spring.
traffic violation hearing in which
a student is involved. A• represen
tative of the Dean of Men's office
attends each hearing to council
the student, he added.
New Street Signs
Juba said that most friction
between the students and towns
people occurs in two areas—traf
fic violations and street sign des
truction.
The borough order e d $7OO
worth of new street signs recently
to replace those that students
have had a hand in destroying,
he said. Much of this destruction
is deliberate, he said.
He also said that lines given
College students for traffic vio
lations are prescribed by the
Pennsylvania legislature and are
not decided by the borou g h.
Hibshman said that the minimum
fine is usually given students, but
the $5 costs charge is prescribed
by the state.
Daniel A. DeMarino, assistant
dean of men, suggested to those
attending the meeting that a
board of .students, faculty, and
borough officials could possibly
be formed in the future to air
student-borough problems an d
improve those relations.
By HELEN LUYBEN
: Prodipto, or Prody, 26, came to
Penn State last fall on a scholar
ship from the College. He is
working for his master's and doc
tor's degrees in rural sociology.
rHe received his bachelor's de
gree in dairy husbandry from
the University of Allahabad, the
largest American missionary col
lege in India. Coming from five
years in an American missionary
school, Prodipto had already been
indoctrinated . into "American
ism" so wasn't as shocked as his
older brother.
It is Prodipto who complains
of all American food "coming
from cans." He says he misses
India curry and rice, and also
eating five times a-day. After six
months in America, Prodipto says
he isn't homesick. "We have a
good department, good people to
work with. I guess the novelty of
the country hasn't worn off yet,"
he says. "You just have to get
to know the score."
Shunil, 23, is a newcomer to
Penn State, having , arrived not
'quite two months ago. He is

charges were "completely, abso
