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.

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.”

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.

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

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.
