If cabinet decides not to grant the carnival
holiday, the effect on Spring Week could be
disastrous. The carnival finances the entire

It seems class cutting for the carnival is not
such a terrible problem. The student who cuts

who cuts any other time in the semester. There
is no reason why a student cannot save his cuts

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.
What more needed activity is there for a den;
ocratic people, and especially a college campir
in times of ideological introspection?

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.

Interpreting the News
Big 3 May Include
Italy in Balkan Pact
Secretary Dulles indicated in his New York speech Tuesday
light that the Big Three are resuming their efforts to have Italy
included in the "Little NATO" mutual defense pact between Greece,
Turkey and Yugoslavia, and so submerge the Trieste issue.
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-

He said "A new concept is in the
tion European Defense Commun
ity. •
Since Italy already is a mem
ber of NATO, such a plan would
be more of a face-saving than a
material gesture toward her.
There are, however, certain
things about it to remind her
of what can happen to non
cooperative nations, such as has
just happened to Israel, cut off
from American aid.
For YugOslavia it would mean
a relationship with the. United
States very close kin to those of
the_ NATO countries, to which she
does not wish to belong.
• Dulles' inclusion of Greece and

unification of an unoccupied Tri
