Do We Need a New In this final week of spring semester classes, when most students are trying to clean up loose ends and get through late book and lab reports, some professors are still giving blue books. It is hard to discover why. There are students—not many, but some— who are having bluebooks as late as tomorrow afternoon. Final exams start Saturday' after noon. The scheduling office is willing to put itself out to avoid scheduling three final exams for any one student within 24 hours. It seems the least a professor can do is to advance his bluebooks prior to the last week of °classes. It is impossible for a' student to study for a final and a bluebook, or quiz, at the same time. Obviously, if he has a bluebook tomorrow and a final exam Saturday, something must give. It will probably be the course grade. There is no College regulation concerning administration of bluebooks during the last week of classes.' In the interest of students. such a regulation deserves thorough consider ation. Without such a ruling, a student may Safety Valve ---.On Discrimination Editorial TO THE EDITOR: This letter is written in reply to your unsigned editorial of May 19, relating to Columbia's ruling which bans dis criminatory clauses in the charters of that school's fraternities. You cited various organizations other than social fraternities which maintain discrimin atory clauses and stated that these were truly discriminatory while those of the social fra ternities were not . . . The professional organ ization which offers itself as a reward, how ever, acts as an incentive to those who might be of that profession and even though they cannot attain the required level, their efforts benefit the people whom they serve. Undoubtedly the fraternities can discriminate and forbid freedom of choice for they are doing it. A social organization, however, ought to base its selection of associates on the candidate's sta ture as a human being . . . Is there any other way for a democratic and Christian people? *Letter cut —Ernest J. Barry Interpreting the News On the basis of scattered . early returns, President Eisenhower's explanation of the nation's 'fi nancial position with relation to the conflict with Russia was better received by the country's editorial writers than by Con gress. ' What Congress would hear from the people remained to be seen. Faced by the determination of an important Republican congressional group to reduce defense spending and foreign aid below the minimum safe ty point which he believed his budget recommendations had attained, and by a concarted drive to reduce taxes in the face of a budget still far from balanced, the President had gone to the people. He attempted to reduce the situation to its simplest termz, a very difficult thing when deal ing with so many billions of dollars, with authorized but un spent funds to consider, and with an explanation needed, for in stance, of how the.

To many the speech came as a dash of cold water. They had expected, last fall, that the new President would pull the rabbit of tax reduction out of the magic hat. But Eisenhower said that in an age of danger from a great power determined to destroy freedom around the world, there was no magic hat. 0 He relied mostly on logic, but there were stretches of elo quence, too.. He wanted people to feel •it an honor to carry their heavy load in the cause he ad vocated. Congress flew right back at him. The hue and cry for more economy on the one hand, and for fax reductions on the other, had begun in anticipation of the Eisenhower stand, and con tinued unabated.

PENNSYLVANIA VINCE DRAYNE, Business Mgi. .k . MIOI , Exam Rule ? end up taking two bluebooks, a quiz and a final exam in one week. This is not conducive to healthy living. There is a College regulation, however, which states no final exams shall be given outside the regular exam period. Some professors are not adhering to this regulation; final exams are being given during the last week of classes, as in other. semesters. When student and profes sor agree to such an arrangement; there should be no complaint against it. However, professor and student do not always agree. A well planned course is all that is necessary to prevent scheduling finals and bluebooks during the last week of classes. Naturally, the best planned courses may go. awry. But if the professor sees his lesson plan is going wrong, he can always doctor it before the last week of classes is upon his students. Most professors are considerate enough not to schedule bluebooks and quizzes the last' week of classes. For those who are not, perhaps a College regulation is necessary. TO THE EDITOR: "Therefore, if a fraternity does not 'want one class of friends, it has the right to discriminate against that group." Doesn't this statement, appearing in your edi torial of May 19, contradict the whole Ameri can idea? Certainly, a man has the right to choose his own friends. He may accept or re ject the people he meets, on the grounds of their individual merits; but he can miss many rich friendships if he starts with the assump tion that because someone belongs to a certain "class," he will not accept that person. Fraternities could furnish an excellent means for persons of different cultural backgrounds to learn to know and -understand one another. However, discriminatory clauses make for isola tion, distrust and the strengthening of prejudice. I cannot believe that there are not in any fra ternity enough men who are willing to over come these things to offset those who •are not. *Letter cut —Alice T.

Roberts Jr. Associated Press News Analyst excess profits tax. Senator Taft said he was "dis appointed' in Eisenhower's fig ure for defense and foreign aid, and said the problem should be studied to see if 40 billions couldn't be made to do. Businessmen of all classes pointed to inequalities an d hardships in the excess profits tax, but the stockmarket had discounted th e President's words in advance and re mained steady. The problem 'has been build ing up to a climax for years. It's evaluation involved th e • chances for war. It involved the balance point between a sound dollar, a sound economy, and a safe level of military defense. It involved not only the prac tical but the spiritual coopera tion of the Western Allies. It involved the fate not only of this nation, but of all nations. The battle of viewpoints promised to be bitter. None could say who was right, who wrong, or if there still re mained a better middle ground. That would be re vealed only as , new pages of history were turned.

With Open By MARSHALL O. • DONLEY Min Martians are fiinny people For one thing they look like crawfish and walk on three tenta cles and don't wear clothing (they need the sun, and anyway its a couple million miles farther from them.) Way back in the history of the Martian planet, everybody (or rather 'every crawfish) lived happily in a state',of nature with every other crawfish. And they had no wars or troubles. Then some of the Martians de cided they were superior to. other Martians, so they started' to or ganize into groups and they called the groups countries. And each country thought' - it' r was better than every other country and so Martians had wars. Afte,r each war the Martians observed that they were no bet ter off than when the war started, so they decided to think up plans to prevent war. But every time they planned they had more wars, and they couldn't understand this, for hadn't they built - up huge ar mies and lots of weapons to pre vent war? After many, many wars one country arose which claimed it was for the rights of the peo ple and for liberty and another country arose saying it was for the same thing, but it impris oned its people and no one be lieved it was really good. And the first country called' itself the United Crawfish and• the other was known as the Soviet Crawfish. As the tension built up between the two Crawfish countries, peo ple in the United Crawfish began to distrust each other and. began to condemn its own people (even when they were good). And many factions arose within the United Crawfish, but the Soviet '.Cr#l.V -flsh ,remained strong. ' One of the difficulties among the United Crawfish was that they were very pr oud and would argue about unimportant things. Colors affected them in strange ways. For example, there grew up a number of crawfish in that coun try ,who had green tentacles and the crawfish with white tentacles began to dislike the green-ten tacled ones. They used them for slaves (taking advantage .of the fact that they were uneducated) and would not allow them a de cent. place in the United Crawfish society. A time came. when the green-tentacled crawfish were al lowed to work out of slavery, but even then many, many white tentacled crawfish would not ac cept them as ,equals. Scientists in the country proved that the green tentacles were as good as white ones, •hut no one cared, for they were a proud.peo- THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1953 • c= , C:=:A ,:=, <=:" . QCa 111;.70-M pie. And so dissention swept through ,the United Crawfish. Some of the' white ones wanted the green ones to be equal, and they pointed out that even in the I Soviet-Crawfish, color was not a criteria for inequality. Bdt many. of the white ones were infused with, . dogma and prejudice and they _would say NO and would proclaim their right to choose their own companions. "We ain't living with no green tentacled crawfish," they yelled. ! One crawfish among them ! , rose 1113 and 'said "No crawfish ' must be forced to accept -others ' •on an equal basis if he does not wish to do so." And the masses of crawfish thought he was right. And .so the prejudice grew and the many countries who .were not on either the United Crawfish side or the Soviet Crawfish side looked, at the inequality in the United Crawfish country and said "do they call that liberty?" And so tension grew and soon a big war came,' with weapons used that were deadlier than ever, and-all - the countries that believed in' freedom joined with the So viet Crawfish (for could they join with those who were preju diced against their brothers?) and together they fought a terrible war and succeeded in killing al most all the crawfish on Mars.

As he viewed it he mused about it and said to himself: "I won der • if there axe crawfish on that planet." He decided if there were, they would not be so stupid as Mar tians; but would recogniie their fellow-crawfish for what they , were.
