Cutting Classes , All-College Cabinet has tabled, for further new class scheduling plan will provide for labs consideration, a proposal to remove one day and two-hour class meetings on Tuesday and from the Easter recess and use the day as a Thursday afternoons.

This year, if nival long enough life to support Spring Week cabinet decides to keep the Easter rather than and be a social success. The major objection is carnival holiday, the carnival will probably be probably excessive class cutting. Spring Week limited to one night. If it is held two nights, it is definitely desirable. For its continuance, a will be right back where it started last year. ' few extra class cuts are not too high a price. If cabinet decides not to grant the carnival holiday, the effect on Spring Week could be disastrous. The carnival finances the entire week. Without it, the week could not be pos sible. Holding the carnival on one night would force booth construction and destruction into one day. Then too, profits of the carnival would be much lower, It seems class cutting for the carnival is not such a terrible problem. The student who cuts class suffers the same penalty- as the student who cuts any other time in the semester. There is no reason why a student cannot save his cuts for the carnival: There is, believe it or not, a school of thought that • students should be al lowed to cut as much as they wish. There is an alternate solution. The carnival is scheduled for a Wednesday. Next semester's On Political Talks Tonight the Political Science Club will begin a series of lecture-discussisons concerning the "Ethics and Politics," with a talk from the re ligious viewpoint by the Rev. Luther H. Harsh barger, College chaplain. Other aspects of the topic will be discussed in once-a-month sessions of the club. The monthly talks will amount to an ex tremely interesting and thought-provoking series, and one that should be a good experi ment in club programming for the future. In addition, reminiscent Of the town meeting: of the Hillel Foundation, which will also begin shortly, an open discussion will follow eacl lecture period. This should afford some clear cut thinking along the lines of fundaments principles of ethics and politics.

Questioning NSA TO THE EDITOR: The recent attempt of the Daily Collegian to justify Penn State's mem bership in the National Students' Association makes the student wonder why membership demands such extreme justification. Obviously, there is some doubt about the value of NSA. And perhaps, even an idea that membership may harm the College. Exactly how much does NSA cost the stu dent budget? . . If the NSA is such an im portant link between each college and university of the nation; when do we take advantage of this 'service? . . can we as a state college afford to be connected with an organization that reportedly supported the Rosenbergs . . . So far the Daily Collegian has painted a - very -osy picture of the .NSA. We would like to know the complete story. eLetter cut Editor's note = Miss j44cCommons refers to three Daily Collegian . ed#orials explaining the values of NSA. The' group - costs the student budget just over $2OO annually. Many students feel the College has never taken advantage of NSA and this year want to give it a final try. Others feel NSA should be junked. The Daily Collegian does not know of "reported" Rosenberg sup port, but it does know attacks upon NSA have been proven false. All-College Cabinet con tinued membership in NSA this year because 't felt student government had not fully par ticipated in the group's projects, and thus was not receiving full benefit. The Daily Collegian editorials were not an attempt to justify mem- . bership in NSA. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Mechanical and electrical engineers needed in State College and Bellefonte.

The secretary was not specific making which could bury these differences. It would draw Yugo slavia together with Italy and the other NATO allies in a com mon strategy . . . Yugoslavia can not be sure as an independent na tion without association with its NATO neighbors—Turkey, Greece and Italy." At the same time, he reiterated the belief that the Allied decision to turn Zone A of Trieste back to Italy would help produce a settle ment of the Italian-Yugoslav dis pute. A treaty with Italy would go to the heart of one of Yugo slavia's greatest fears in con nection with the proposal. She just might agree on Zone A if she could, have guarantees that Italy would not use her posi tion there to advance her claims on Zone B. the Yugoslav-oCcu pied and primarily Slovene area. There would, however, have to be additional inducements on both sides to protect both govern ments from reaction among their constituents after having encour aged irridentism and chauvanism. Such additional inducement might take the form of military or other aid. It might take the form of an aid treaty with the Mediterarnean group similar_ to the one now being worked out to apply between the United States and the proposed six-na- CAT.H AUM . , , MIDNITE SHOW FRIDAY'D° ORS OPE 11:30 P.M.
