Art Gallery Paint Job
TO THE EDITOR: In regard to the item by
Robert Saunders appearing under the “Safety
Valve” last Saturday.
The Mineral Industries Art Gallery has been
closed since August 15th for the purpose of re
decorating. Typewritten notices placed on the
art gallery doors indicate this fact.
Although it has been realized for some time
that a general reconditioning of the art gallery
was sorely needed, only recently has this pro
ject been within the means of the departments
concerned.
The art gallery will re-open for the Penn
sylvania Painters Exhibition.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to correct the
general impression given in an article on ice
cream and milk machines published in last Fri
day’s Collegian and, further, to correct several
specific points of information.
Sally’s sandwich service was a University
authorized vendor and for many years provided
regular late evening snack service to students
in the women’s halls, and at Nittany Hall 20.
This met the student’s request for such service
and provided some student jobs. Snack charges
were comparable to those of other vendors for
such services and to my knowledge the students
were not overcharged, although no business
goes uncriticized.
What I meant to convoy was that few com
plaints were registered by the students, but not
that I was expressing my evaluation of the
general service.
As to specific points of information, the milk
and ice cream machines will not be placed in
all residence halls, but only in areas where a
comparable service is not offered by the Uni
versity. Thompson Hall did not have Sally's
sandwich service as was stated in the article.
At this point private vendors may not make
deliveries on' the University campus, and par*
iicularly to the University residence halls, with
out specific authority.
The article in the Collegian was an attempt
to give information on the proposed machine
vending of ice cream and milk. It was in nq
way an attempt to be derogatory toward Sally’s
sandwich service, which for many years has
served the students well.

—-Big Four Conference
Fishbowl Talks
Not Desirable
By J. M. ROBERTS JR.
Associated Press News Analyst
The old argument about service diplomacy has been re
vived in the United Nations by the demand of Iraq that in
terested small nations be invited to Geneva next month along
with the Big Four foreign ministers.
“No impression should be left that the Big Four are meet
ing to make decisiQns for other nations and behind their
backs,” said Delegate al-Jamali.
Secret,, diplomacy, he said,
should be finally abandoned for
the sake of peace and mutual con
fidence.
Well, there are all different
kinds of secret diplomacy. The
phrase , got- an especially bad
name in. the world' because of
what happened in 19:14 after the
tugging, and bungling which
went on in Europe during the
early years , of the century.
Americans, especially, insisted
that European diplomats were
going to .change their 'ways if
they wanted American cooper
ation.
Since that time, open covenants
openly arrived at have been an
objective, although few have
been arrived at without a great
deal of work in private, the de -
tails of which have not been pub
lished. Some nations lay 'their
cards, or most of them, on the
table, and some don’t. Some make
unilateral interpretations and res
ervations, and some don’t.
Ths truth of lho matter is
that in any negotiation where
nations are required to compro
mise. a complete fishbowl opera
tion is not possible, any more
than the details of a bank mer
ger can be worked openly. Step .
by step approaches can actually -
be hindered by publicity which
makes it difficult to change
preliminary attitudes as the ne
gotiations continue.
If the representatives of a dozen
or so small nations should be pre
sent in Geneva next month, all
demanding the ear of the foreign
ministers on every point affect
ing their interests, an almost im
posible situation would develop.
Tha principle, that the large
nations would have to make the
peace, with the smaller ones
cooperating to guard it once it
once it was made, was accepted
at the founding of the United
Nations as the only practical
method of procedure.
This did not mean a reservation
by the great powers of any right
to sell small nations down the
river while arranging balances of
jpower, as was the 18’.h and 19th
century practice. The small na
tions nave their forum in the
United Nations, where their
views can be made known and
where they will be weighed at
least by tha Westers Powers.

Cadets Asked
Dancing Rights
In New Armory
Coeds and their dates today en
joy a privilege many former stu
dents at the University had to
forego.
In its early years, the Univer
sity frowned on dancing and for
bid it in any of its buildings.
When, in 1888 the'Armory 'was
completed, making available a
spacious dance floor, the students
decided to try and change this
attitude.
A petition addressed to the
Board of Trustees by the Cadet
Coins pleaded:
“We, the undersigned Corps of
Cadets, Pennsylvania State Col
lege, in order to promote social
intercourse among ourselves and
friends and interest in our gene
ral welfare, do respectfully ask
permission to hold a reception
(with privilege of danping) once
a month in the new Armory dur
ing the coming college year.”
The Cadets did not stand alone.
A second more modest petition,
this one from the senior class,
was also sent to the trustees.
The Board, with President
George Athertoh concurring, stood
firm, however.
Undaunted, the next year an
all-college committee of nearly
100 students devised an even more
eloquent petition.
Despite the force, of these co
gent arguments, President Ather
ton marked a crisp “Not granted”
on the back of the petition.
The following year, 1890, the
bah was at last lifted and hence
forth the Armory echoed to the
sounds of both marching and
dancing feet.
