New Seating Plan Seems In Order When All-College Cabinet last November turned down the Recreation Hall seating pro posal, it did so with the idea of keeping a close watch on the attendance at indoor athletic events during the current season so, if action was needed, it could be taken later. It must be obvious to everyone by this time that definite action is needed. Cabinet was not wrong in turning down the seating plan, which would have set aside 300 seats for sale to faculty, alumni, and friends of the College. It acted in the best interest of the student bddy.in doing so. Where cabinet did make a mistake was in over-estimating the interest of students in the indoor athletic contests. It was, perhaps, some what idealistic in its view that Penn Staters would support their indoor athletic teams, re gardless of the type of season they were having. A look at the attendance figures at the events to date will show conclusively that cabinet was wrong. Not once this season has Rec Hall been filled to its 6000-person capacity. Here are the attendance figures of the events to date Alfred (Basketball) W and J (Basketball) Colgate (Basketball) Syracuse (Basketball) Gettysburg (Basketball) Lehigh-lihaca (Wrestling-Basketball doubleheader) Maryland (Boxing) Pennsylvania-American U. (Wrestling- Basketball doubleheader) , 3502 Bucknell (Basketball) 2578 Dickinson (Basketball) 1479 What is the answer to the problem? The 300 seat proposal does not meet the requirements of the situation. The figures show that 300 seats would not even make a dent in the number of seats available in most cases. On the other hand, should some event attract ‘ a full house, the 300 seat plan would deprive 300 students „ of their seats. What is needed then, is a plan which will permit the maximum occupancy of Rec Hall at all limes, but which will not deprive stu dents of seats to which they are entitled by payment of the athletic fee. Such a plan will undoubtedly involve some measure of admin istrative complications at first. We believe, however, that these can be worked out with out too much difficulty and that some new seating proposal should come before cabinet before the end of the semester. College Deferment Criticism Unjustified As we have seen, with a new administrative regime in Washington, many changes are bound to come and are already beginning to come. We’ve seen budget cutting, removal of the Sev enth Fleet from Formosa, lifting of controls, and others. One_ change that has not received too much publicity is the attitude of the Defense depart ment’s hew manpower chief on the draft situa tion. It was reported in a recent article in the New York Times that Dr. John H. Hannah, um|TF A IFTTFD «! i Last Weekend! nivlll.

PENNSYLVANIA the new manpower chief, has said there are too many cases of the rich man’s son, going to college and the poor man’s son to Korea. - Maybe there are some cases where this is so. But this seems a generalization which can well be misunderstood by those to whom a college education is an important goal. It must be remembered that the men in college, one of the two groups who are presently deferred (the other is fathers), are required to main tain a certain average in order to be deferred. Also, if 1 local boards do not have enough per sons to fill their quotas, they do, at present, turn to the college men' to fill those quotas. Let us consider -the problem even more deeply. A college education is, for the most part, available to almost any person who may have the desire- to seek one. For the superior and excellent student, scholarships and aid are avail able. For athletes, there are scholarships all over the country. For the student with average finan cial means, a college education is not difficult to get. For the student with financial means be low average and an intelligence level not war ranting a scholarship, there are opportunities for part-time employment on college campuses throughout the country. It is unfortunate that an attack such as the one made by Hannah, perhaps quite innocently, has to be made. No system is perfect, of course, but criticism of deferment of college students should certainly rest upon better evidence than Hannah’s. If appears lhat more men will be needed if we step up action in Korea. Maj. Gen. Lewis B. Hershey, Selective Service director, expects that fathers might have to be drafted to main tain the armed forces strength of 3,600,000 men. If more men are needed, an equitable plan for men in colleges should be maintained. There may be some "playboys," but they can't hide forever. Gazette...

Interpreting the News Nehni Comes Close To Being Uncivil Prime Minister Nehru of India came pretty close to in civility the other day with his talk before Parliament of “danger” connected with military men at the head of gov ernments. He didn’t call President Eisenhower by name, but he' brought the matter up in a discussion of the recent American order deneutralizing Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist Chinese forces on Formosa. It was obvious he wasn’t talking about Naguib or Tito or Franco. It was an unusual way for the head of one important government to talk about another. ALMOST IN THE SAME BREATH NEHRU REITERATED his intention to take no sides in the East-West conflict. He said he wasn’t trying to put one party to the dispute in the wrong. But he didn’t have anything derogatory to say about Stalin. Nehru’s statements almost coincided with conferences by two Indian leaders, one of them a member of a Red front, with Stalin in Moscow. The other,was the Indian.ambassador whose activities have gotten India into several ill-starred attempts to mediate the Korean War and other East-West difficulties. Nehru has been trying to take a middle course all the time, but has said a number of things in the past which would better have been left unsaid if he hopes to be successful. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE JUST RECENTLY Dis cussed thoroughly the whole matter of the “military mind”' as re garding Eisenhower and decided by ballot they weren’t afraid of it. Nehru’s statement will hardly have the appeal to them that it does / to Kremlin authors of “warmonger;” propaganda. In the same speech Nehru said, “History will show whether democracy or totalitarianism is better. I am convinced -that ulti mately. democracy will pay the higher dividends, not only to the country involved-but to the whole world.” People in the Western world think history has already decided that matter pretty thor oughly. Nehru himself testifies -that the United States has done more good for more people in the matter of living standards than any other country. / ■ ■ ' All this sounds like Nehru is muddled. BUT HE IS KNOWN TO BE A MAN OF HIGH INTELLIGENCE. What, then, is behind all this beating around the stump? There is evidence in things he has said that political ambition, both for himself and for his country, is strongly involved. He seems to think that there are profits to be reaped, position to be attained iq all of 'Asia, if he and India can play the role of mediator. He knows, particualrly ,in the Korean War situation, that the West is anxious for a settlement. He may think.that if he appears to Stalin to be a little critical’6| the ; ‘West, the'“ltussians may be a little more willing to intrust him with some mission. He seems to be unaware of the moral as well as material issues which make it impossible for anyone to carry water on both shoulders in these times. By J. M.
