Customs Critique: They Never Made It The 1953 freshman customs program ended a couple weeks ago, but the frosh didn't get around to throwing away their dinks until Saturday afternoon. And thus ended the sixth futile attempt at customs since 1950. After a fairly successful but lengthy program in fall 1950, customs suffered continual set backs. Upperclassmen refused io enforce cus toms and the unwanted responsibility' fell to haimen. This was the first in a long series of ills that was to face the program. Customs can serve a good purpose if they are wanted. They can build school and class spirit, something too often missing in the large college. Through them, frosh may also learn school songs and cheers. Namecards and green dinks are perhaps the most constructive parts of the program. The dinks promote class feeling. The namecards help the frosh to meet each other. Namecards, however, were removed about the middle of this year's program. ' There is much room for criticism of the pro gram. Primary is prohibition of association of frosh men and women with each other, or upperclassmen of the opposite sex. If customs are to promote good feeling and friendly , associ ations, this regulation is of no value. Elimina tion of this regulation would go a long way toward improving customs. Another bad aspect of the program is enforce ment by hat societies. These students are lead ers and are honored as such. There is no con nection between being a student leader and enforcing customs. Enforcement by hat societies tends to lower hat society members in the eyes of both freshmen and upperclassmen. Hatmen and women are frequently looked The Town Man and Representation With the mailing of postcards to town hide pendent men, notifying them of nominations for ward representatives, the independent man in town is once more informed of an obligation that was not lost when he elected to live oft campus. Probably one of the unfortunate reasons men move into town is a desire not to be bothered about campus affairs. Consequently they re treat into their off campus shell. When they are rewarded for their indifference with poor or no representation on important issues, the howl of anguish can be heard with nc , trouble. Town council is the town independent man's primary element of representation. If it is ig nored, that artery of communication will prob ably waste away from lack of use.

STATE' COLLEGE, PENNSYLVOIA upon as pseudo. : wheels, impressed with _their own importance. Much of this feeling is a result of the role they play in customs enforcement. If this role were removed, a great stride would be made in returning hat society members to the honorable status they may deserve. Most customs critics complain about indefinite length of the program and lack of enforcement. Something can be done about the length, but little about enforcement. It . is rather obvious the student body in general does not want customs. Only one thing can make customs successful: strong student support. No such support existed this year, and there are no indications it' will in the future. The majority of the student body feels customs worthless and even repulsive. Customs regulations have been revised many times. Interested students have put endless hours into attempts to revive the program. It seems their attempts have failed, for student interest is as low, or lower, than ever. It appeari time to realize school spirit can not be fostered by a method most of the stu dents do not want. School spirit cannot be built by freshmen regulations. If the students want customs, they must come forth to save them. If not, let's shelve the attempt to manufacture school spirit by mass production and find some thing deeper to build upon. This year, the customs program fell flat on its face, again. It has had ample time to prove itself. The program undoubtedly will continue to fall flat on ifs face until those who wish to lead such a program realize it is dead. Then, perhaps Old Man Customs will be buried. It's about time fcir the funeral: he's been dead now for three years.. station. Unless the men in town possess fre quency modulated radios, they cannot receive any benefit from the radio station. But it must also be mentioned that efforts to obtain a suf ficient. number of representatives for town council met with enough apathy to threater machinery_ necessary to get the council oper ating.•• • • This year the men are receiving indiyiduai postcards informing them of the coming nomin ations. More postcards will be sent out telling them who the nominees are. The men will be able to mail their ballot. The necessity of walk ing to a building on, campus to vote will be avoided. The only thing left up to the men will be accumulating the necessary energy to mark the ballot and drop it into a mailbox. We hope the : , effort required to keep the gag of indifference; out of the town independent' mouth will not be•too taxing.

Just a few weeks ago things seemed to be looking better for the .Vestern world. • It was bolstered by the Korean truce,. the German elections, the of France to go ahead with the European Defense Com munity, and by indications from Russia that she could use a period if lessened tension Today even the most cursory, lance at the (dangerous situations which have developed gives one a queasy feeling in the stomach. When the Big Three foreign .ministers planned their London conference, which has, just ended, t h e y were primarily concerned with relations among themselves and Russia over Germany. Before it was over they had to take cognizance of develop ments which even pushed their fundamental question into the background for a moment. The Trieste' issue was smoking and capable of bursting into flame at any, moment. So was the Israel- Arab situation. —Dick Rau Things -began to go bad for France in political negotiations designed - to obtain greater ; sup port of. the Indochinese staes in the war with the Communists there. Britain had a flareup in Gui ana which pointed up America's critical apprehension about Communist progress in Latin- America. Even. as Secretary Dulles was returning to Washington, reports from Dahran in the Persian Gulf brought word of a long-feared de velopment in that oil-heavy but poorly lubricated area—a display of resentment against American interests in. Arabia. It came at a time when Americans already were worried .about the health of aged King Ibn. Saud, with whom the oil deals were made. As the diplomats sought to han dle these questions, there was no slackening in the urgency of prob lems which were already pending. The Communists agreed to meet with American negotiators at Panmunjom to make plans for the Korean conference. But they still were insisting on having neu tral nations at the table. The Uni ted States, meanwhile, was deny ing a report growing out of the London conference that she was backing down on the. subject. At London the ministers drew up a new note to Russia about a meeting to consider the Ger man problem, but there was nothing new in it as a bait for the reluctant 'Reds. There was more hope for an other proposal, that the Big Three meet with Italy and Yugoslavia about Trieste. But Yugoslavia doesn't want it until the idea of giving Allied-held Zone A to Italy has been dropped..

The Kremlin men, if they wished could just sit back and watch the world stew in its own juice. It was just the sort of situa tion they love to see. But they weren't just sitting back.
