R.eds Opposition— (Continued from page four) sian policy, however, which these speculations overlook. It is the time-honored practice of never making peace about anything, trying to keep the Western world stewing in its own juices, hoping that from the stew will result .differences which will eventually lead to a split in the anti-Com munist front, ■ and so offer an op portunity for Russia to fall back on the Hitlerian tactic of piece meal conquest. For the moment, however, since Lugano was proposed by the Al lies more as a test of Russian in tent than in the hope of concrete achievement, the Russian position probably will do more good than harm. Proponents of EDC may soon be able 'to say, as Westerners have been able to say so of fen when Russia did something to rally their wavering unity: "The Russians have done it again."

PENNSYLVANIA There’s a legend behind the name Nittany, and, like all good legends should, this one involves a beautiful—but tearful—lndian maiden: Her name was Nitanee. Legend has it that Malachi Boyer, a foot loose trader, wandered into the then nameless valley and fell in love with fair Nitanee. The seven strong braves who were Nitanee’s brothers wouldn’t have footloose traders, falling in love, with their sister. So the footloose one was im prisoned in what is now Penn’s Cave. And there he died. Thus ended a beautiful ro mance. But from it all sprung th£ Nitanee legend. The name of the tearful maiden —spelled somewhat differently— now graces the Nittany Valley, the Mt. Nittany, and the Nittany Lion. Just goes to prove something or other.

(We bring news faster than Western Union, by gum!) I just got some “scents” knocked into me when I opened a bottle of Hattie Car negie’s Four Winds cologne (if this doesn’t knock him dead, nothing will). Let’s be intoxicating this week-end with a splash of Carnegie per fume and then he’H know, what it means when they, say you can get drunk by smell ing the cork. Neckline news for happiness ... a rope isn’t the only fashion able thing we’re wearing around our necks this season; . we’re also wearing scarfs— and the prettiest and filmiest ones are at ETHEL’S. Pure silk, gay patterns and print ing, they add so much to a neckline, especially if they’re looped through a double sil ver ring that creates the per fect rakish effect. (Now stand on the Mall when the wind’s working up and get the crowning touch of that care less look) Interesting, inexpensive and ideal... are the new boxes of note paper ETHEL’S have just re ceived. Boxed especially for her and priced at a mere 69 cents, they are white or blue, with fine gold or dark blue piping—so perfect for RSVP ing or writing home for money. In the stationery set, we also found some, cra-a-azy books for the epicurean. (At tention Philosophy 2 students) One is called “The Weigh of All Flesh” and is a real neat calorie counter that’s full of facts and figures—special em phasis on the latter—another is “A Well-Dressed Tomato,” pages of slightly delicious salads that are actually edi ble—and for the potential bar tender (or bar-fly) a “Guide, to the Pink Elephant,” dizzy and darling and chuckful of concoctions. 112 E.
