Freshmen Should Meet Cliques Tomorrow
Tomorrow night the Lion and Stale political
parties will hold an orientation meeting for
freshmen. It is the duty of every freshman to
attend one of these meetings.
Why is it essential that the freshmen turn
out en masse for these political conclaves? Be
cause these parties will be the forces that nom
inate candidates to the most important student
positions on campus.
All class officers and all All-University offi
cers are products of the University student
political system'.
These class officers hold positions on All-
University Cabinet, the most influential stu
dent body on campus. Cabinet also has power
to spend many thousands of dollars which
students pay in fees.
To elect intelligent officers to such positions
of trust it is essential that the voters axe in
telligently informed. There is no better way to
obtain information about campus politics than
to attend one of tomorrow's meetings.
The political party is essential to any demo
cratic election. It is the party that chooses the
candidates, the platforms, and conducts the
campaign.
To safeguard this system from corruption it
is mandatory that the people—the students in
this case—take an active interest in the doings
of the party and the integrity of the people in
charge of the parties.
• Such interest in student politics has been
Football Prospects
Many great football teams have come and
gone in Penn State's 68-year-old football his
tory. Some will always be remembered and
others will be buried in the musty pages of
long since read sports pages.
The 1954 team may be one of them. It very
conceivably could be one of the greats. The next
nine weeks will tell the story.
But there is one thing that the Penn State
fan can be sure of. This team wants to win.
That is the most important factor. The rest of
the story will lie in the breaks that lie ahead.
Rip Engle and his aides constitute one of the
finest coaching staffs in the country and they’ve
sweated out months of work in preparation for
this opening game today. They’ll give their best
just like the players they put in the game.
Penn State football has long been standing
with that of most successful colleges in the
country. And much of this success lies in the
student backing through the years. This sea
son will be no exception. You can help by
giving this squad the limit of your support.
Engle will need some luck—as any winning
coach does. He faces nine top-notch opponents
in the coming months and the going won’t be
easy.
But, outlook good or bad, it’s football time
once again. And time to wish an outstanding
team and coach the best of luck from a grateful
student body.
The greatest happiness comes from the great
est activity.—Bovee

sadly lacking in past years. Fortunately there
have been, and are, people of high caliber who
have kept student government from falling in
to the mire of corruption.
' But this situation cannot exist forever. Soon
er or later a bad apple will come along and
give student government at the University a
black eye.
The freshman class lias demonstrated high
spirif during customs so far. It is up to them
to continue this fine start and give student
government a shot in the arm. They are the
only ones who can conquer the apathy so evi
dent at the University in regard to politics.
While a new registration system was set up
Thursday by cabinet it will not be necessary
for freshmen to register for tomorrow’s ses
sions. There will be no attempt made to drum
up support for candi&ktes. The purpose of the
orientation meetings is purely, to acquaint new
students with the function of the clique in the
political set-up.
The. party meeting you attend tomorrow is
really immaterial. The choice of party mem
bership can be made after a clique has been
seen in operation &nd the candidates chosen.
What is important now is that freshmen fa
miliarize themselves with campus politics so
they may choose their officers carefully. There
are only "a few short weeks to underclass
elections.
On Safety Valve
There is a feature that will appear on this
page from time to time that goes under the title
of “Safety Valve.” For those new students and
those' that don’t know, Safety Valve is the
student voice.
What goes into the space devoted to Safety
Valve is entirely up to those who read the
Daily Collegian. Safety Valve follows no set
pattern from day to day. When opinion is lax,
there is no Safety Valve. But when readers
feel they have a justified complaint or gripe
and write a letter to the editor, then and only
then is Safety 'Valve in full bloom.
Any student, faculty member, administrator,
employee of the University—any one connected
with the University in any respect is entitled
to have his opinions voiced. And Safety Valve
is our way of getting those opinions voiced.
Safety Valve could be likened to the “letters
to the editor” column in the student’s home
town newspaper. A real safety valve is—accord
ing to Webster’s—an automatic escape .or re
lief valve. Our Safety Valve is just that. It is
a feature where anyone may blow off steam
without getting into trouble.
Safety Valve is in a unique position in that
it can do a lot of goo.d. Unique, because it can
do so much more good than it could ever do
harm. Safety Valve can improve relations be
tween students and it also can aid in the pro
motion of better student-administration rela
tions.
We have made the first move—Safety Valve
is in existence, waiting for student, faculty
member, administrator,' or University employee
to make use of its facilities. The rest is up to
the individual.

Strong Sentiment Feels
Occupation Provides
Security for Trieste
. Instructor, History
(This is another in a series of articles by University faculty
members. This is Thaden’s second and final article on the
Trieste situation .)
The increased tension of Russo-American relations after 1946
made the western powers increasingly sympathetic to the Italian
point of view on the Trieste question.
In March, 1948, three weeks before the Italian general elections,
the three western powers announced that they were in favor of re
turning the entire Free Territory. to Italy. This statement under-
standably became the basis of
Italian policy afteh this date.
In 1949 and 1950, however, the
western powers came to regret
their proclamation, for Yugosla
via’s break with Moscow in 1948
brought her closer to the western
powers and therefore made friend
ly relations between Italy and
Yugoslavia desirable. But their
own proclamation of March, 1948,
created a major obstacle to such
an understanding.
Between 1950 and 1953. Ital
ian and Yugoslav tempers flared
without bringing about any im
portant changes of the general
situation at Trieste. Both the
Italian and the Yugoslav gov
ernments demanded either all
or pari of the Free Territory
on different occasions. The Yu
goslavs took unmistakable mea
sures, such as a customs union,
to bring Zone B closer to Yugo
slavia, while the western pow
ers took steps to increase Italy's
influence in Zone A.
In both Italy and Yugoslavia
there were numerous, nationalistic
demonstrations demanding either
a Yugoslav or an Italian solution
of the problem. In. Yugoslavia, it
was constantly affirmed that
Trieste was economically essen
tial for Yugoslavia, that the so
called Italians In the city of Tri
este were really only renegade
Slavs. In Italy, . Trieste was
claimed in the name of the un
questionable Italian nationality of
its inhabitants.
Stimulation for nationalistic
demonstrations was provided by
reiterated reports concerning the
persecution of Slovenes in Italy
ltalians in Zone B, the de
signs of Yugoslavia to annex
Zone B outright, those of Italy
to take all of Trieste. The largest
of these nationalistic demonstra
tions was that of April, 1952, in
Belgrade, where .250,000 to 300,-
000 Yugoslavs staged their or
ganized protest against Italy’s de
mands for Trieste.
In October 1953, Great Britain
and the TJ.S. announced that they
were going to withdraw their
troops and return Zone A to Italy.
The Yugoslavs, bitterly opposed
to this move, moved Yugoslav

reinforcements into Zone B and
along the Italo-Yugoslav frontier,
threatening to invade Zone B if
it were occupied by Italian troops.
The Italians likewise moved troop
reinforcements along their eastern
frontier.
The tension between Yugo
slavia and Italy caused by these
troop movements persuaded the
British and the Americans to
alter their decision and delay
the withdrawal of their troops
from Trieste indefinitely. This,
in turn, stirred up the anger of
the Italians in Trieste.
This anger was given expression
in pro-Italian riots during the
World War I fete of November.
In these riots, six Italians were
killed and many more injured
when the Trieste police fired on
the mob. Several days after the
riots, between 90,000 and 100,000
Triestinos took part in the funeral
procession for Trieste’s dead.
These demonstrations did not,
however, persuade the British
and Americans that they should
turn Zone A over to Italy at that
particular time. British and Amer
ican troops remained in Trieste.
The general situation in Trieste
gradually calmed down, and the
Italians and Yugoslavs agreed to
withdraw their troops from their
common frontier.
