Trophies for Sale
Campus Chest this week has set its sights on
a $6OOO goal. This is certainly not too much to
ask of almost 12,000 students.
But in the past the Chest has not had an
easy time in attaining its objectives. In fact,
it has seldom come close to collecting as much
money as it hoped.
But this year we see a ray of light for the
Chest. One area where contributions should
pick up is the fraternity-sorority division. After
all a trophy is being awarded to the fraternity
and sorority with the highest percentage and
amount of contribution.
This will probably cause all loyal Greeks to
snap to and donate with a will. After all, it's
not just a benefit, it's for the glory of the house
(or suite).
Perhaps within the next few days some fra
ternities and sororities will even find it neces
sary to levy assessments in order to carry on
the all-out battle for another trophy. This is a
favorite practice during the Spring Week
trophy-buying contest.
The trophies now on display in the Hetzel
nn are not testimonials to be proud of. They
•mblems not of the fierce competition for
contributions in the past, but of the
.ced indifference on the part, of fraternities
and sororities toward the Chest in the past.
But now perhaps all that will change since
there is a prize for giving to a worthy cause.

AA: Respect Lost?
The Athletic • Association may have lost a
good deal of student respect last weekend. •
After week-long warnings that students
would be required to present matriculation
cards, identification books and tickets to be
admitted to the Navy game, most students ap
parently passed through the gates unchecked.
The average student complaint was that
"after all the hulabuloo, they did nothing."
We realize it would; be impossible for the
Athletic Association to check each individual
student. It has neither the time nor the man
power to do so. Nor do we say each individual
student should be checked.
But if the association hopes to keep the re
spect of the student body, some sort of system
atic check should have been instituted.
Some checks were made. Ernest B: McCoy,
director of athletics, said that ushers at the
gates and at the student sections were in
structed to make "spot checks" of ticketholders.
But if student opinion is correct, these checks
Were few and far between:
And after being warned that a concentrated
check was to be made, students felt as though
the Athletic Association had cried "wolf."
If the Athletic Association hopes to enforce
regulations in the future, this attitude must
not be allowed to develop. The policy for
checking student identification should be clear
ly defined and adhered to.
If spot checks were all that were intended
for Saturday's game, this should have been
clearly explained beforehand.

Cabinet's 'Wise' Decision
TO THE EDITOR: Cabinet was wise in its de
cision last Thursday night to not send a rep
resentative to - the United Nations tour. -
The United Nations and world affairs in
general do not concern students until they grad
uate. Penn State students will easily step into
their roles as world leaders upon graduation.
And a minor issue like world citizenship is
certainly not as important as the • Penn Game
Half Holiday.
So let us concentrate on our own problems in
the Nittany Valley and let somebody or any
body else do the world thinking..
Also, sending a representative to the UN
would have required an expenditure of $36.
All-University Cabinet now only has $27,000
at its disposal and is thus forced to economize.
Yes, Cabinet was wise in its decision last
Thursday, to not squander money on such an
unimportant issue.

Hewes Leaves
Flood Area
James Hewes, temporary in
structor in the department of po
litical science returned to State
College yesterday ntorning after
being stranded near South Hart
ford, Conn., over the past week
end by the flash floods which hit
that area.
Hewes left here Saturday morn
ing on a weekend visit with his
parents who live near South Hart
ford. He telephoned the political
science department Monday
morning saying he would miss
his classes but expected to re
turn the next day.
Hewes joined the faculty of the
political science department this
semester. He worked with the
federal government in Washing
ton, D.C., before coming here.
The floods, which hit a large
part of the eastern seaboard fol
lowing heavy torrential rains,
have resulted in millions of dol
lars in property losses and left
hundreds homeless.

Tense Situation'
In Red China
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Red China has a serious grain shortage . and is requiring
farmers to deliver a larger share of their crops to the govern
ment and is taking other stringent farm regimentation mea-
sures.
The United States has a grain surplus, largely owned by
the government, which is a serious economic embarrassment.
Red China, among other things,
is seeking through the Geneva
discussions to get a relaxation of
the complete trade embargo im
posed by the United States, and
of the embargo on strategic ma
terials maintained by other na
tions of the free world.
The United States, among
other things.- is seeking at
Geneva to get Red China to re
nounce the use of force pend
ing. settlements by peaceful
means of Far Eastern issues.
The Reds seek an immediate
high-level conference' on these
issues.
Here then are two nations, one
considering the other barbarous
and a violator of world public
opinion as an aggressor, but each
having something the other vital
ly wants.
The United State is banking
heavily on the pressure of Rus
sia's internal needs to provide the
basis of compromise when the
foreign ministers meet at Geneva
in a few days.
Perhaps there is an internal
situation in China which could
produce a simnel. situation.
Several years ago China
greatly relaxed the Communist
'line" with regard to agricul
ture in an effort to improve
production. Private borrowing
and selling in farm land was
permitted in order that the
more efficient farmers might
procure holdings of workable
size.
But at the same time taxes-in
kind drove workers from the land,
and spreading industrialization
lured them to the cities. Now the
rate of progress in industry has
outstripped agriculture, and far
mers are . showing little interest
in providing for urban people
who have received by far the
lion's share of benefits from an
improved general economy.
Now the Peiping regime has
announced renewal of the origi
nal collectivisation program in
an effort to do by force what
it has not been able to do by
other means. It admits a tense
situation.
A tense situation with regard
to China's food supply doesn't
mean mere belt tightening. Where
few ever have even what other
peoples consider a bare subsis
tence. any sort of shortage means
not malnutrition, but starvation.
The situation, then. would ap-

pear to contain the factors for
successful trading, in commodi
ties which mean much to both
sides.
