Cabinet Places Trust in Students The University has granted ’ students a one half day holiday and has as.ked in return a pledge of good conduct in Philadelphia. Upon this good conduct will rest the evaluation of the 1954 Penn game festivities and any pos sibility of once again establishing a yearly foot ball holiday. Good conduct was one of the requirements set up by the Council of Administration Monday when it approved a special request presented by All-University Cabinet and granted the holiday. Because of the action, there will be no classes Saturday and students will have an extended weekend to go home or to the foot ball game. To the concession, the council added three stipulations. These pointed out the conditions of the grant—that there be no further requests from cabinet this semester for football holi days, that class hours be made up as specified by the instructors, and that steps be taken to insure good student conduct. 1 It was not pointed out concretely what these “steps’” are to be, but student leaders were urged to speak to their groups on the subject of conduct. So far no strong-arm tactics have been adopted and the only conduct rules are those already existing in the Senate Regulations for Undergraduate Students. These provide that any individual or organization whose con duct is found to be prejudicial to the good name of the University will be subject to disciplinary action. Since it is not now th 4 policy of the Univer sity cabinet to wield the “big stick,” an appeal is being made to the individual student’s sense On Debate Ban The ban on student debate on recognition of Communist China, imposed by four Nebras ka state-supported colleges, was analyzed keenly by Glen Mills of Northwestern Uni versity. Mills said, “To prevent a student from read ing about Red China is to hold a naive hope that people can be saved through ignorance . ..” The imposers of the- ban have failed to realize one of education’s greatest maxims . i . that truth and understanding are the strongest opponents of evil. Those who would try to veil or hide truth, pertinent to world education must be condemned as a threat to a free edu cational system.

PENNSYLVANIA FRANK CRESSMAN. Business Mgr. of values. He is asked to picture himself'as the member of a group, the Penn State family, and to realize any bad conduct will reflect more on his school than on himself. How is this? Most misconduct in Philadelphia, which is jammed->for the Penn-Penn State weekend, cannot be credited to an individual or one particular group. Instead, the responsi bility for any trouble is laid in the lap of the University. Logically, law enforcement agencies, hotel managers, and others Who are being disturbed over the weekend should attempt to seek out the guilty person or persons for disciplinary action. This is not done, however. Those of fended merely take the easy way out, and on Monday morning, after getting madder and madder on Sunday, they write a letter to Pres ident Milton S. Eisenhower at The Pennsylvania State University asking what kind of students he is turning out in State College. Thus, the average student goes unhurt at the time while the University suffers immeas urably. There is little the University can do. It can attempt to track down the guilty parties (which is nearly impossible) but, even if these students are apprehended, this does not vindi cate the University to the public. Hurting or enhancing tlie reputation of the University lies almost solely in the hands of the individual student and organization. The Uni versity has not attempted to use the "big stick." It has, however, granted the student request for a football half-holiday. A way of saying thanks to this act of University kindness is by display ing model conduct in Philadelphia this weekend. Practice Raid Disregarded If enemy bombers had circled the state Mon day night, the University campus would have been the first to go. A 15-minute long practice air raid was staged throughout the state Monday from 7:50 p.m., to 8:05 p.m. Civil Defense personnel were alert ed of the test one hour and ten minutes before the warning sounded. Yet the campus was ablaze with lights, blinds were not drawn, students walked casually along Pollock Road, and everyone wondered “why the fire sirens were blowing.” . Students cannot be blamed for disregarding the practice raid . . . they were not even aware of it. It would seem that the Civilian Defense local division should in the future prepare and instruct all possible raid victims against air attack. PhD in Phys.

I want to finish grading these papers so tell mother I may be a little late for supper." Interpreting the News Red Propagandists Get 'Off Tune Soviet Russian propagandists are quite accustomed to playing the same tune in several different keys, but for the moment they seem to be having trouble even in deciding what tune they want in connection with Western European Union. At first, apparently assuming that France was still the big ques tion mark when it comes to rati fying the treaties agreed upon at London and Paris, Moscow sought to play on two French fears— that a rearmed Germany might once again run amuck in Europe, or that she might drag the rest of Europe into a war for recovery of her eastern territories Then it became apparent there was a question about ratification in Germany, too. Many Germans worried about a formal even though temporary recognition of partition. Others were upset over concessions to France regarding the Saar. Vishinsky tied the French fears into a two-and-a-half hour speech at the UN about dis armament, thus attempting to divert French minds with pur suit of that will-o-ihe-wisp as against rearming Germany. Vishinsky spoke about "restor ation of the Wehrmachi," a name the Germans eschew, un der "Hitlerite generals." The reason for his latest disarma ment talk became all too clear. But that didn’t sit well with the Germans, many of whom shrink from the idea of having an army after what they learned about the fruits of militarism a few few years back. Really, the Russians’ propagan dists then began to say, the West ern Allies are just hiring cannon fodder, and the contracts for West German sovereignty are bogus. If it is not, the Reds inquire, why do the Big Three retain the right to handle negotiations over Ger many’s principal problem, reuni fication? Both propaganda, lines are well designed, each for its own objec tive, but the trouble is the listen- WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 27, 195'" By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst ers cannot be restricted to the one line designed for them, as they are in Russia. Germany hears what is said to France, and France hears what is said to Germany. Both nations realize that the whole business is a part of the battle ■ for Germany. Germany well' knows what France has made doubly plain that only dire necessity makes it possible for Germany to have any sort of partnership with the Big Three. Germany and France are both entering into the new ar rangements’ because of fear of Russia. That is the prime motif which Russia will not be able to ■ drown out, no matter how many different tunes she plays. 3 Chairmen Elected By Ml Student Council The Mineral Industries Student Council has elected three commit tee chairmen.
