UMT: What it Means (This i.s• the first of two articles aboul, Universat Military Training based on argu ments for and against . the program, gath ered - ,l•Tam, the New York, Times and Schol astic Magazine. Tomorrow's article will give arguments agame, Tri;lT.) The latest in a series of military training and reserve forces plan: - , will be submitted by the Defense Department. to Congress sometime this month. The which if accepted will be the .nearest approach to universal military training, will re.quire a limited nunaber of men under 19 to serve a minimum length of time, either through enlistment or induction, in one of the armed forces. Under the plan, those youths who don't serve two years in active service will be required to undergo six months of military training fol lowed by nine and one-half years of compulsory service in the reserve forces. The most important single reason proposed by those in favor of universal military training is that of national security. This country must, it is claimed, have a permanent resevoir of trained manpower or it may be caught short in event of a national emergency. Under the present system of training manpower, the Unit ed States would have to call up more than three men from civilian life for every one in uniform in case of emergency. It now takes a full year, proponents say, to get the National Guard or organized reserve divisions into battle condition, and it would take even longer if training were to start from scratch. National security training divisions could accomplish such training in only four months. More Beards--- TO THE EDITOR?? . . . Instead of hurting the ROTC program, I believe that giving permis sion to grow beards will actually strengthen it. The .. (ROTC departments) will have a strong example to show that the program is flexible and will go at least halfway to meet their (stu dent) desires. We in ROTC can do something 'in return such as, for example, writing an essay on the benefits the Corps would receive by allowing beards. Exceptions have been made to every rule so why couldn't one be made thiS time? It'll be the only one (on beards) that we will ask for in 100 years. 0 Letter cut TO THE EDITOR: We want beards, too!. If for no other reason than to prove Penn State still has some remnants of real school spirit, please men, grow beards! . . . Just what does Miss _Name Withheld mean by maturity? We think the maturity of Penn State men will be proved when they recognize the need for bringing the Centennial to the attention of others through the beard-raising contest. *Letter cut On Culture Conflicts TO THE EDITOR: Regarding the struggle for culture discussed in a recent issue of the Daily Collegian (Jan. 7) I agree that Penn State is lacking when it comes to consideration of mat ters of a cultural nature. The conflicts between events listed as cultural and events not gener ally considered cultural are great. When a de cision between these two must be made, culture usually takes a back seat. However, it is really sad when there are conflicts between two events, both aimed at broadening our culture. For instance, last month the State College Choral Society brought the Quartetto Italiano to State College the same night Community Forum presented Agnes Moorhead. Holders of tickets to both series, and I'm sure there were a goodly number, had to make a choice. Ob- . - HOME DELIVERY .

PENNSYLVANIA asp WILLIAM DEVERS, Business Manager to Nation's Youth A second important aspecl: of UMT would he in a certain fairness to Korean veterans, supporters claim. As present laws stand now, these veterans are required to continue', in the reserve forces for six years following their two, completed years of active service. This means that all veterans, including ones who have married and settled down to steady jobs, would be , immediately called back .into service in an emergency. Under present mental and physical standards many who are now escaping service because they are unfit for combat duty would, under UMT, be capable of • driving a truck or pecking at a typewriter for the armed forces, supporters point out. In case of a sudden attack upon American cities, those in the reserve forces under the UMT plan would represent the most meaning ful and important hope for an efficient civil defense organization competent to deal with the attack, it is claimed. Too, if the United States possesses such a large reserve, any potential ag gressor may think more than twice before at tacking. Economy is another important consideration, they say, since the nation can't afford indefi nitely to support a standing force' of several million men. Therefore, in order to cut costs without impairing national security a large ready reserve of troops • available for instant call is the only feasible thing. A final reason for UMT concerns the men who will be most affected by it. Proponents say that UMT would .provide for the fulfill ment of their military 'duty at a time that will least entail the disruption of their civilian life. —Ted Serrill viously, neither event was as well attended as it might have been. I realize . this was probably an unavoidable accident; I'm sure all concerned , regretted it, for, these organizations are certainly conscien tious in their efforts in bringing outstanding performances to State College. This is not to say that these efforts are not greatly appre ciated. Nevertheless, such a conflict is most unfortunate and if culture's struggle is to be made easier, such situations must be eliminated. —Robert Steele Bad Sports? TO THE EDITOR: We as students have a long way to go to further this ideal (of prestige and national recognition). I am speaking mainly of poor sportsmanship. At last Saturday night's basketball game, with a team that has never been here before, we students put on a poor exhibition. Should we boo a player who is playing the game to win—one who plays hard as every player should? Arnelle went to this player and congratulated him on a fine game after he, Arnelle, had com mitted a technical foul against him earlier in the game. A fine. gesture on the part of Jesse. We should be as fair. Let's give all 'visiting teams a break, and show them we are as fair as sportsmen anywhere in the nation. —Rex Bradley Gazette ... Today BELLES LETTRES CLUB, 7:30 p.m., N.

MORE BEARDS Exhausted as this topic. is get= ting, it seems necessary to point out a few facts about the beard growing situation at Penn State. First, however, let us say it is a fine idea and those who have so far boosted the program deserve congratulations for their school spirit. Concerning a University-wide beard-growing contest, it sethris rather impossible for All-Univer sity Cabinet to sponsor such an event. This is because Cabinet is I financed by a fee collected from all students and the money must also be spent in such a way as to work for all students. Such would not be the case if Cabinet sponsored the contest be cause many cannot compete for the prizes. You must discount all women, almost all freshman and sophomore men because of_ROTC, many junior and senior men be cause of ROTC, many senior men because of job interviews, plus those with personal reasons.
