Borge lo the campus for the enjoyment of stu- t j m • • dents. Leader 1 raining . . . Cabinet has already approved a leadership training program which, by 1958, would be a required course for candidates for freshman and sophomore class presidents. This program, how ever, may come under rescrutimzation tonight when revisions of the Electiohs Code come up. The code must be revised to conform with the earlier Cabinet action. We hope Cabinet defeats the program this lime. It is unwise to restrict the number of possible frosh and soph class presidents to the limited few who would happen to take the course. This is the thoroughly undesirable ef fect this legislation would have. Getting the Vote ... Election committee chairman Ernest Famou/ will propose to Cabinet that centralized voting be used in next year’s elections. He justified this by pointing to the “definite need for the use of voting machines.” With or without the machines, we doubt if voting will ever approach the percentage it should unless decentralized voting is used. If the people won't come lo the polls, the' polls must come to the people. These, then, are some questions Cabinet will have to ask first to its committee heads, then to itself tonight before it can legislate in the interests of the students it represents. We hope intelligent answers—and intelligent will result. Two weeks ago Cabinet tabled this proposal in order to sound out the opinions of the groups it represents before taking action. At that time, the Series’ proponents were unprepared to answer the questions that must be answered before Cabinet can intelligently propose a new fee to. the trustees. Cabinet would be acting irresponsibly and fulilely to recommend to the trustees that the new fee be created unless it were sure that a definite program could be set up. Certainly before they approve it, the trustees will require more information than has so far been brought forth. At first glance, the proposal looks good. We hope facts will be furnished Cabinet tonight to prove it is sound. Chest’s Dilemma ... Campus Chest collections have been slipping for some time, but this year’s $4160.60 balance to be allocated among 15 charity groups—com pared to last year’s collection of $10,394.52 — indicates a strong need for revisions. Chest chairman Ellsworth Smith will submit six recommendations: that religious groups withdraw ahd run their own drives; that chest work with World University Service Commit tee to publicize WUS, a chest recipient; that the American Red Cross be dropped as a re cipient; that the “designation system with modi fications” .be reinstalled; that the drive be con ducted earlier in the fall or else early in the Safety Valve— Statistics on Scholarship TO THE EDITOR: In your article on scholastic failings, May 12, you pointed out that statistics showed that students in the lower two-fifths of their high school class fair better percentage wise in receiving scholastic penalties than the remaining three-fifths. Although the deceptive quality of numbers warrants the use of percentages, may I point out that the basis of your interpretation, the total number of students in scholastic difficulty, was unfair. When the number of students that receive action in each respective fifth is compared with the total number of students in that same fifth, the resulting percentages point out that those in the first three-fifths of the high school class fared better percentage wise. As an example, 143 freshmen students in the fourth-fifth received action, and 149 freshmen students in the first-fifth received action; how ever, there are only 284 freshmen students in the fourth fifth, and 1328 in the first fifth.

Gorka Little Man on Campus Interpreting the New: Russian Satellites Still Want Freedom By J. ML ROBERTS Associated Press ffewsAridlvst President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Secretary John Foster Dulles have chosen the occasion of the Austrian treaty and the pro jected Big Four conference to re-emphasize their interest in Russia’s satellite stated. ‘ Dulles said Tuesday night tfipt-tfie satellites have now seen the Red army start rolling back, for the first time in ten years. “It is going to create a desire, a mounting desire, on the part of these people to get the same freedojoi from this type of occupation.” Dulles has stressed, Since long before he was Secretary of State, the importance of keepr ing the idea of eventual liberty alive among the peoples of East ern Europe. v Wednesday morning the Presi dent returned to the theme, indi cating that the United States might go into a Big Four confer T ence with the idea of trying to roll back the Iron Curtain One of the important and so far insoluble factors of the Allied po sition in Europe is that no matter how negotiations might go the Western democracies cannot just walk off and forget the subju ? ' gated nations. There have even been sugges tions that they might agree to some sort of, neutral sone in Europe, including Germany, if;. Russia would throw in the sat ellites under some arrangement which would truly free them from the interference of inter national communism. This business of international communism is, of course, the one concrete, lasting fact at the bot tom of all efforts to arrange set tlements. As long as it remains a prime weapon of Russian policy, so long "will it be impossible to consider Russia anything except an enemy. That means any settlements will be temporary, subject to constant Communist maneuver ing. with the fear that Russia will revert to force generating perpetual new tensions. That is why Eisenhower and Dulles have presented their new hopefulness for some break in the cold war with repeated qual ifications. The theme of keeping strong, keeping alert, hoping for the best but determined not to be sur prised by the worst, has been made more important than ever by the new situation.
