Brotherhood One week of the year set aside to rededicate Ourselves to the highest of our ideals is not really enough, but neither should it be con sidered too much to ask. This is Brotherhood Week, sponsored by the National Conference of Christians and Jews, [f is being upheld by the churches and syna- Sogues in the country, essentially to promote icreased understanding among citizens of dif ferent religions and races. This is possibly one of the most significant rears in history so far as world peace is con terned. What men either do to destroy or recti fy civilization may well be determined in the coming months. And for this reason alone, the aims that this week hopes to achieve must not be taken lightly. Whether we observe them in our churches or at private altars, the belief in brotherhood, and all it signifies, will establish our ultimate roles in the world. Gazette...

Perhaps parents would enjoy their children more if they stopped to realize that the film of childhood can never be run through for a second showing.—Evelyn Nown Provost Discusses Need for Expansion The University, reaching its Centennial milestone, is bound to look back over the ground it has covered, to make certain where it is, and to peer forward to determine where it wants to go, Adrian O. Morse, University provost, said Thursday night. He addressed the American Foundrymen’s Society at the University. Morse went on to say: 2nd Hundred Years “And so during this Centennial year, while we shall talk about the University’s growth and ac complishments, and even brag a little, we shall be concerned mostly with her second hundred years.” Morse cited the need for ex panding the facilities of the Uni versity by saying: “In 1950, there were 604,000 young men and women in Penn sylvania of college age; in 1970 there will be 811,000. In 1950, 82,000 were graduated from Penn sylvania high schools; by 1970, it is estimated, 121,000 will be grad uated from Pennsylvania high schools. In 1950, 16,000 entered some college, which is 19.5 per cent of the total graduated. The percen tage of high school graduates go ing on to college has been grow ing, but even if it should remain the same, in 1970, 24,000 would enter a college. University Enrollment “In 1950, the University en rolled about 12 per cent of the total college attendance of the WILLIAM DEVERS, Business Manager —Peggy McClain State. This percentage has been growing, too, but even if it should remain constant, the University would be expected by 1970 to provide for so many more than at present that I am afraid to name the figure for fear I may be mis quoted as saying we are prepared to admit that many.” Morse then listed the needs for the expected increase in enroll ment—faculty, classrooms, labor atories, dormitories, and dining halls, as well as the finances nec essary for this growth. “I don’t underestimate the prob lem of financing the education of, say, half as many again as are now attending colleges, but I am sure the money can be found,” he said. During a question-and-answer period after his speech, Morse said he was “sure we’re going to have a new grading system next fall.” AIM Governors to Meet Plans for Independent Week, March 18-24 will be made at the Board of Governors meeting of the Association of Independent Men at 7:30 tonight in 108 Wil lard. ■ THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Centennial Many thanks are due the men and women who made yesterday’s Centennial celebration possible. Responsible for the events were those persons who planned the Birthday Dinner, the HUB and its opening, the dedication of the reactor and groundbreaking of the All-Faith Chapel, the opening of the postoffice, and the student exchange dinners. Appreciation-is also felt for those who pub licized the anniversary through the sale of Cen tennial stamps and cachets, and research and articles published state-wide on the history of the University. And finally, thanks are due those persons who traveled to the campus to help Penn Staters in the celebration. Safety Valye— Jazz or Jazz ? TO THE EDITOR: One wonders if Mr. Reiss has ever been more off base than in his most recent “Singing in the Wilderness” column (Thursday’s Daily Collegian). He is inaccurate both in his statements and in his assumptions. First of all, the Jazz Club did not bring this "high-priced musician" to Penn Slate—the Cam pus Chest "brought" Kaminsky here. Our only connection was with the publicity . . . This was not a typical jazz concert nor a typical jazz audience. If he is such an appreci ator of jazz he should sit in on some of our meetings; he might then learn what is typical. Also, if Mr. Reiss will “look in” on the concert March 18, he will see there is a big difference between Dixieland jazz and Progressive jazz audiences. It is obvious to us that he IS criticizing the jazz concert audience and i; more than slightly out of his field in so doing) therefore we hope that, if he desires to continue commenting on jazz concerts, he will become more familiar with them. Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower, presi dent of the University, received a congratulatory telegram on the University’s 100th Birthday Yes terday from President Dwight D. Eisenhower. The message read: “Although under present plans I shall later in the year have an opportunity to participate person ally in the Centennial program of the Pennsylvania State Universi ty, I want today, at the opening of your anniversary celebration, to send to you, to your Board of Trustees, to the faculty and stu dents, my sincere congratulations. “The growth and influence of the Pennsylvania State Univer sity have impressively mounted throughout the years until it is definitely recognized as one of the great universities of our coun try. Naturally I am • proud of this fact both as a citizen who is in terested in the continuous prog ress of our institutions of learn ing and as the brother of Penn State’s president. “Please extend my greetings to Admiral Strauss and Governor Leader, who, I understand, will participate in the ceremonies to day.” 32 Students in Infirmary Thirty-two students were in the University Hospital yesterday, filling it to capacity. Upper respir atory infections and a few cases of chickenpox were the main causes of illness. Editorials represant tits viewpoint of Dm writers, not necessarily the policy of the paper.

Propaganda— J Adam’s Other Rib Mention of the word “propaganda” calls, up just about every evil connotation people can muster. It is tagged onto the efforts of almost anyone trying, through communication, to further a cause or influence opinion. Unfortunately, the complete definition of propaganda has been nafrowed considerably in people’s minds. Because it hafe included tactics of persuasion used by a majority of the country’s “public enemies number one,” such as Hit ler, Mussolini, Stalin, etc., we have come to forget the more readily accepted aspects of the word, Let’s take a look at some ex amples of propaganda, found in almost any communications media" and, while not always deliberate ly, in our own conversations and thoughts. Last month the Daily Collegian ran a series of letters to the edi tor on the beard-growing issue. These letters contained some prime illustrations of propaganda devices. The most popular one seemed to be statements to the effect that the forefathers of the University (Evan Pugh and Gen eral James Beaver) and the great champions of our country (Abe Lincoln and General Grant) wore beards and. thus the wearing of beards by students here would be a commendable thing. This is a device technically labeled “trans fer;” it assumes that because these persons were of established char acters, their traits and actions are well ‘transferable” to our own. While the statements may or may not be true in themselves they imply by the same logic that we could say Abe Lincoln jilted his fiance or General Grant once swore at his wife and thus, it would be a fine thing if University students would jilt their fiances and swear at their spouses. Another thoroughly used propa ganda device is identifying one’s “project” with liberty, freedom, truth, or any of the ideals we have been impressed with since childhood. Our labor unions use this ap peal; “more rights for the worker” is one of their basic claims. The carpetbaggers of the Civil War HOME DELIVERY PIZZA Oven Ret Oven Hot Oven Hot Hr. 129 S. Posh DaH AD 7-2280 WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 23. 1955 By PEGGY McCLAIN period resorted to these tactics when they screamed “Equal rights for the slaves” and did not add “so that we can capitalize on their political ignorance.” A certain degree of propa gandizing has even been used in the preceding sentence, by closely associating labor unions (which is a controversial issue) with the carpetbaggers (which call into the public mind rather slanderous thoughts.) Propaganda is by no means limited to the business and po litical world. We exercise it on our own campus. Think of our student political meetings and how they attract support by statements referring to "the students*' party" and "cleaning up politics" and "democratic student government." Our cam pus honoraries are propagan dizing when they claim basic purposes of promoting "leader ship" and "character." Our church groups use it when they stress "brotherhood" and right eousness." Propaganda is a science, which is inevitable where there is com munication. There is what is con sidered desirable propaganda and undesirable propaganda, both of which are, in the long run, purely relative to the values one is championing. The thing we must remember, however, is that a very large part of communication is propa ganda, and to avoid being made a tool of influencing groups we must learn to recognize the de vices used and presence of this art.
