The board’s new decision requires the men to atone for breaking the University regulation through work. The punishment places the men on Dean of Men’s office probation with a stipu lation that the probation may be lifted upon the completion of 60 man-hours work, assigned b> the dean. The original decision—requesting the dona tion of blood—had two basic faults. In the first place, the Red Cross goes to great lengths to assure the public that giving blood is no punish ment. Yet in this case, blood donation was con sidered punishment. Second it is rather questionable whether any judicial body has the right to demand blood from anyone. The judicial board is to be commended for having the desire to suggest a punishment along constructive lines. The difficulties encountered by the board in reaching a just punishment inherent in the judicial situation as it is now exists. The usual form of law in this country is to have a legislative body write the laws and to name the punishment or range of punishments Gym Meet: Relations and Athletics The gymnastics meet tonight at Recreation If the Swedish team leaves this campus with Trail between the Swedish national team and a feeling of American friendship, we will have Penn State will undoubtedly mark one of the done our share in tearing down an ever con sports highlights in Penn State athletic history. stant barrier of misunderstanding.. Penn State The two teams are composed of some of the will be long remembered by the Swedes as the best gymnasts in the world, and they promise site of the meet with America’s national cham to put on a show that spectators will never for- pions. Here is a 1 good chance to make the team get. The meet represents one of the finest sport remember more than that. Here, the student extravaganzas ever presented to students and body has an opportunity to make them remem residents in this area. ' ber Penn State for its friendship and hospitality, Student support of the meet has been com mendable. Every ticket has been sold and a record crowd is expected to jam Recreation Hall. Here is a chance for Penn State to mix good relations with good athletics. University stu dents will naturally want to support Penn State in the competition, but the students should also express their appreciation for the athletic skill of the Swedish team. The Swedes will make 30 stops in this coun try, and the impression they receive here will go a long way in cementing relations between the two countries. But regardless of how small a part it . plays, a friendly welcome from Penn State students will go a long way in making'the trip successful. The. idea of the goodwill tour was originated in Sweden and- is being carried out on a non profit basis with only one thing in mind: pro motion of better understanding between the peoples of the two countries. On Informality If professors make New Year’s resolutions, too, an “I resolve to make informality a class room byword' whenever possible”, could, very we'll' add to the educational program of the spring semester. The advantages of such a resolution in such a large school may seem overshadowed by the seeming impracticality of said proposition. This is not necessarily true. A few—unfortunately, very few—professors have invited of their-smaller classes to their homes for fireside discussion. And the results have been excellent. Some classes, especially in advanced courses, are small enough for students to become ac quainted through discussions or merely waiting for the class to start. This is on the road to class room informality. However, that informality can be carried even farther with professors realizing their part in developing it. An evening at a professor's home need not mean that his wife must bake cookies, that suits and heels are in order, or that students would be compelled to attend for their grades' sake. Rather it should be a means for an informal exchange of ideas. It would mean a "bull ses sion" with an authority around for a change. And it could very well mean the development of firmer, productive friendships that are so much a part of a well-rounded education. —Baylee Friedman Comptroller's Office 'Bloomer Girl' Tryouts An additional office is being Tryouts for Thespians’ . spring created in the office of the Uni- production, “Bloomer Girl,” will versity eomptroiler, 208 Old Main. , hld Feb 7t0 9 in 409 old The room is being made by par- . , , .. titioning part of the office to ac- t.lam, Moylan Mills, general di commodate new personnel. rector, has announced.

The judicial board was re quired to hear the case, give its opinion,. and name the punishment. The University Senate regulations merely provide that “proper action De taken.” What is proper action? The board iidn’t even have a precedent to follow. , ’ That more time and care should have->beeh taken in deciding on a punishment. is obvious. The board is in its infancy and, like many inde pendent undertakings, needs prestige_ to effec tively survive. Being asked to. reconsider a de cision by the Dean of Men’s office does not help to build respect for any organization. But, in ■his case, there was little else that could be done. The answer may lie in reviewing those regu alions that require "proper action" and decide what that action shall be for each offense. The action will almost have to be along the general constructive lines considered by -the board. In a community—student and resident of this size there are undoubtedly many con- structive projects that can be undertaken. Some investigation should turn up work pro jects that are constructive and do not.. conflict with any existing contracts. Unless some definite plans are made, the same situation will keep arising which will do no good for either the students involved, the University, or the judicial board. and to help them remember America as a friend A hearty welcome to you, Sweden, from Penn -dvania State University. Library Thefts The student body may deprive itself of a new found convenience before long if it doesn’t mend its erring ways. .The University library has reported numerous thefts of periodicals from the new periodical room. The new room is designed to put loose and bound issues of periodicals on open shelves for student convenience. Previously, due to space limitations, periodicals' were not accessible to students. Of 54 unbound issues of one periodical, 32 are already missing, as are several bound vol umes. The number of thefts has shown marked increase in recent weeks. Placing periodicals on open shelves is part of the library’s attempt to. give students more ac cess to, books., Some library officials feel one of the main faults of the library is that it isolates books from undergraduates. . ; But students do not care'for this new , con venience. Continual thefts of periodicals from 1 open shelves have threatened this new pro cedure. If we- wish io retain the. new-found conven ience, the thefts must stop. It is not fair for a few to end the convenience for many. And this is without mention of the moral aspect of thievery. Gazette...

Interpreting the News Congress toConslder Foreign Aid Program. —Dick Rau Turkey’s president is coming, to see President Dwight D. Eisen iower shortly about a matter which vitally concerns many countries ■.nd which will be much in the limelight when Congress begins to onsider the foreign aid program. • <n notice that economic aid is about, to come to an end and only military aid' will continue. Demand for this action has been , strong. - Congress originally put a four-year., limit on the . Marshall plan.. When the limit}was reached the cold war had ■ reached a new peak, and economic stability in the'free world was recognized-as an even greater, necessity than be fore. The mutual assistance pro gram was. worked out as the Mar shall plan’s successor, and mili tary aid was piled: on top of it. But the idea was still strong in America, and.is stronger now, that other nations should not be " allowed to spend indefinitely on economic aid. There is-suspi- ! cion that they would have taken more strenuous steps to straight- ' en out their own economies if. they had. not .depended on it. Most of them- are now believed to have reached' a 1 point where ; they can do so if forced into it. The 'Turkish ' president, CelaT Bayar, will raise a point, how-, ever, which has been much in the, minds of many observers. .He will argue that ; insofar as Turkey is concerned —:arid at this point; he will be arguing the views of sev eral other countries—day to day military aid does nothing to bring the day when Turkey can assume that task; herself. Foreign, economic aidt was en visioned-in the beginning as the yeast which would, enable coun tries to do just that.
