Spring Week: Climbing More Obstacles
The Spring Week committee took a few more
wise steps last week to eliminate from the
week and carnival loopholes campus groups are
eternally seeking.
Ever since its birth, Spring Week has been
in eternal combat with participating groups
who have sought ways to win the week trophy
easily. It is a wonder, then, that the Spring
Week committee has a chance to accomplish
anything else under this handicap.
The most recent move was a limitation on
the number of groups that may join together in
the week. In the past, fraternities have joined
with sororities. The present limitation pro
vides a preventative whereby this combination
will not snowball. Obviously, combination of
three or four such groups into one could pro
vide enough power for the combined group to
win the week trophy. Thus, most groups would
be at a definite disadvantage.
The committee was also wise to limit the
number of entries one group may make in the
He-Man, Ugly Man, and Miss Penn State con
tests, In the past, points have been awarded for
entries. As a result, the Miss Penn State con
test alone was swamped. This year, quality
rather than quantity should be forthcoming.
Some campus groups did not contribute to
this year's Campus Chest drive, having an
ulterior motive. These groups saved their money
and plan to use it to support an Ugly Man
Family Talks
The series of family conferences now under
way through the sponsorship of the Women's
Student Government Association and the Penn
State Christian Association are offering prac
tical information that eventually will be of use
to most students, regardless of their course of
study.
There has been an increasing demand for
reliable knowledge on the subject of marriage
and family living to replace the hit or miss
theories with which many have, in the past,
taken the "big step." An evidence of this is the
greater number of sections. of child and family
courses being scheduled to accommodate the
increased registration.
The current series of conferences offers a
chance for students unable to schedule courses
in the field to glean some of the practical in-,
formation available, and for students who have
studied the subject to augment their knowledge.

entry. Having highest contribution in Campus
Chest is materially nothing compared to the
Spring Week points and trophy that _winning
the Ugly Man contest brings.
These groups have attempted to justify their
action. Proceeds of the Ugly Man contest have
traditionally gone to Campus Chest, they say.
Proceeds of the Campus Chest drive go to Cam
pus Chest. Therefore, they conclude, it makes
no difference to which drive contributions are
made.
In fact, there is no difference. Ethically, there
is. It is too bad there are groups who must
profit from everything they do—even when
it is donating to such a drive. It is a shame we
cannot do things without hope of gain. These
groups may have found a loophole. That is, if
the Spring Week committee does not soon plug
the loophole first.
The only real obstacle to Spring Week success
now seems to be the carnival site. The carnival
is to be at Windcrest. In the past, it has been
on - paved areas. The Windcrest site is rela
tively unpaved. Thus, the traditional spring
rain could kill the carnival.
This Spring Week looms as the best ever.
If fraternities and sororities watch their con
duct, and if the University is tolerant and not
hyper-critical, this event can do much for Penn
State. If either falls down in its obligation, we
may find a good thing ruined.
Safety Valve
On Men's Dress
TO THE EDITOR: It has been aptly stated that
people who live in rock houses should not throw
milk bottles. Well, after reading the March 4
issue, we are beginning to doubt that Penn
sylvania State University women ever heard
of the phrase.
The article to which I refer is titled "Coed
Panel Group Airs Men's Dress." Speaking for
myself and several others, the girls should air
their own dress. Both their comment and dress,
to put it mildly—stink!
If the women looked at their dress as criti
cally as they do at the men's, then they would
be perfectly correct in expressing their views.
However, they are under the impiession that
they stand behind a one-way mirror—they can
see us, but we cannot see them.
. . . And they criticize men's clothes. Ha!

Prexy Asks Aid
For Latin America
President Milton S. Eisenhower yesterday called for a five-point
program to promote healthier economic relations between the United
States and Latin America and to counter Communist gains in the
Western Hemisphere.
While he spoke, the United States pledged economic cooperation
with Latin America at the 10th
Inter-American Conference being
held at Caracas, Venezuela.
Warning againstr the dangers of
"a rising tide of ultra-national
ism" in Latin America, Dr. Eisen
hower declared:
"Often the door is closed by
blind nationalistic feeling to the
very hel 71 and cooperation
which are so desperately need
ed. Ultra-nationalism leads to
laws and practices which pre
vent the entrance of foreign
capital essential to develop
ment.?
In a luncheon address before
Pittsburgh's Duquesne Club, Dr.
Eisenhower recommended:
1. The U.S. adopt and adhere
to stable trade policies with Latin
America with a minimum of
mechanism permitting increased
tariffs or quotas.
2. A long-range policy which
will permit the United States to
purchase imperishable materials
when prices are low.
3. Continuance of public loans
to South America for sound pro
jects.
4. The United States expand its
technical cooperation program in
Latin America.
5. The U.S. continue to support
the International. Monetary Fund
and agencies in this country be
retained to stimulate long-range
ecoonmic development programs.
Latin Americans are dissatis
fied with U.S. policies because
they have not had a share in
the post-war economic recovery
programs initiated in Europe,
the Middle East, and Asia, Dr.
Eisenhower said.
"Latin Americans have tended
to forget that they enjoyed an
unprecedented boom during World
War II and the post-war period
so that there was no need for
emergency programs for that
area," he said.
As a result, Dr. Eisenhower said,
they have sometimes come to the
view that the U.S. considers other
areas of the world to be more
important to its future than the
countries of Latin America."
Dr. Eisenhower recalled ob
servations made during his
good-will mission to South
America for his brother, Presi
dent • Dwight D. Eisenhower.
"We found," he reported, "that
the U.S. is still painted by Com
munists and their sympathizers
as an 'imperialist' power that
seeks to exploit the Latin econ
omies."

Prexy Views
Nation's Faith
As Strength
The founders of this country ac
cepted no political formulae with
out what they deemed was Divine
Guidance, President Milton S.
Eisenhower said Monday night.
Speaking at the 20th annual
men's dinner of the Mt. Lebanon
Methodist Church, Pittsburgh, on
"The Spiritual Foundations of
Democracy," President Eisenhow
er said modern communist and
despotic leaders' like Karl Marx
and Adolf Hitler recognizeC where
the main strength of the demo
cratic idea lies—and so condemned
Christianity..
"Unfortunately, while the ene
mies of our way of life have been
quick to see through to the very
heart of our democratic system
and to identify its essense, we
Americans—or many of us—have
been tardy in recognizing, or at
least in acknowledging, the spirit
ual basis of our inheritance," he
said.
President Eisenhower then
pointed out that never before in
our history have religious discus
sions and services been available
to so many millions of people.
Religious affairs have been
brought to the attention of many
Americans, he said, through the
press, and religious themes have
had a very great appeal in mo
tion pictures, periodicals, and
books. Never before, he continued,
has the Bible had a greater circu
lation.
"These all are not merely evi
dences of our seeking refuge from
the age of anxiety, although such
a search is involved," President
Eisenhower added, , "but that very
search is yielding . . . a fresh and
deeply reassuring realization of
the true source of our national
strength."
