Apathy: Coercion Not the Answer Students don't like to be told what to do. • When they're asked to cheer at Beaver Field they clam up, or at least the upperclassmen are accii.:ect of doing so. But when a handful of them go. away, even into alien territory south of the Mason-Dixon line, their spirit is high and they make more noise than twice their number, and without coaxing. • They complain about having to walk to classes in the rain and in but try to keep them off parade . floats in bad weatherwithout• rain clothes,. sometimes without many clothes at all. The professors who complain most about ex cessive class cuts and inattention are usually the ones who conduct the most uninteresting classes. But the top lecturers seldom comment about noisy or lazy students. Inspirational' instructors often inspired•their students to study and make th?m enjoy learning. • Students who don't cheer loudly at football games here, cut classes when. the weather is bad,' and fall asleep in a lecture are criticized Good Luck, Sir Penn State suffered a great loss yesterday. One of its most capable, devoted, and noble administrators announced his intent of leaving the service of the .University shortly after the completion of the regular school year. • Adrian 0. Morse, provost of the University, announced his retirement. The name of Morse is one not too familiar to the students. Yet the student body never had a more able and staunch supporter. Because the nature of the provost's work re quires him to deal more with the faculty than the students, the average student has never known Mr. Morse too well, nor he they. Yet Mr. Morse has never lost sight of the student needs in his work, and has kept their welfare always uppermost in his mind. He once expressed to a student group that one of his major regrets was that his work kept him so busy that he did not have too much time to spend with the students. We might add that this regret was shared emphatically by his student listeners. Mr. Morse has expressed the intent of enter ing a field other than education when he leaves the University. Whatever that field may be he will undoubtedly be a tremendous value to his new associates. Mr. Morse has stated that "so long as I live, the progress of Penn State will be close to my heart." On behalf of the student body which holds him in high regard may we say that the pro gress and continued well-being of Adrian 0. Morse will always be close to our hearts.

COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA ROGER VOGELSINGER, Acting Business Manager by 'student leaders, the administration,, and faculty members. They are said to be apathetic. They are called• disloyal, unacademic, and in different. In. some cases this is true. But when the spitit is lost and incentive is low it is not always the student's fault. They are indifferent towards something they do not feel they really want to have a part in. But students are not consistently apathetic, for given the encouragement they are willing to cheer, to work, to study, to do almost any thing they believe in. So the most logical way to appeal. to the stu dents is through activities• of merit—not only those of 'desirable end, but of pleasant means a$ well. • These controversial students enjoyed .yelling at the. Virginia game, they loved, shivering in the 'Spring Week parade, and they appreciated hearing interesting lectures. • Student interest and support cannot be gained by. coercion. Safety Valve Lion Party Position TO THE EDITOR: Mr. Davies' advice to vet erans in Thursday's Collegian to stay out of the Lion Party should be given close examina tion lay veterans before being followed. Vet erans should remember that it is to the ad vantage of the Campus Party clique chairman to see everyone stay away from Lion Party. Perhaps an examination of exactly what Lion Party's "affiliation" (as Mr. Davies terms it) is to veterans would be in order. The Lion Party feels that the purpose of a politidal party is not only to elect candidates but also to serve the student bo'dy by bringing their problems to the attention of all students. The veterans on campus are definitely faced with a problem, 'and despite cries of "one-sided affiliation" by Campus Party we intend to use every facility at our disposal to help them with this problem. We also feel that it is our responsibility to help with all students' problems, not only those of the veterans. Any student or student group is welcome to voice any complaint or problem before the Lion Party steering com mittee and we will render that student or group all the service that is within our power. —Thomas R. Dye Lion Party clique chairman Cautions Veterans TO THE EDITOR: Some weeks ago Thomas Emerick re-established the Veterans Club at Penn State; he did this in good faith and in the best interests of the veterans on campus. However, unfortunately, as Mr. Emerick .stated in Friday's Collegian, this club has become a political football. Therefore, I caution veterans against entry into politics as an organized group. Political party platforms are nothing but pure "hogwash." They cannot be carried out by the party. Political parties at Penn State serve two functions: to elect officers and to stimulate in terest in Student Government. They cannot help the veteran to settle his grievances. They exercise almost no control over candidates once they are elected. If a veteran has a gripe he can go to the members of Cabinet, the All-University offi cers, Inter-Fraternity Council or the Association of Independent Men. These people will be glad to listen and help if they can. These are the only organizations which can help, the veteran and none of them are controlled by political parties. A political party cannot help veterans and in the best interest of the group—KEEP OUT!

Little Man on Cam "Splendid interview—He's eccentric, bigoted and conservative. Hell make a fine addition 'to the faculty." f==EM Should Now to By J. M. ROBERTS JR. Associated Press News Analyst President Dwight D. Eisenhower now faces an extremely knotty politiCal problem. Shall he announce that his physical conditibn precludes any thought of another term? It is generally assumed that, barring complications, the President will run the risk—and it is a very grave one—of completing his present term. It will be a contribution of the life and death chances he invited when he became a soldier. Any possibility that his doctors, . his wife or his common sense would permit him to attempt a political campaign and another term seems inconceivable. Despite the expressed hope of some Republican politicians that, by some miracle, he can be pronounced completely well and the clock can be turned back to Sept. 12, everyone knows it can't be. Even if by far-fetched chance Eisenhower might desire to dare the lightning, the political clock itself could not be turned back. Many people would feel that they were being asked• to do a dis service to a great favorite. Under these circumstances, some observers 'are saying that from the standpoint of practical politics the President should an nounce soon that he cannot seek renomination. They point out that this would give the party a chance to begin reorganizing, something it had not been expecting. The President. however, must also consider that a chief execu tive who ha s formally an nounced his retirement yields much of his strength during the remainder of his term. His has more than a year to go. Coolidge did it a year before the convention. But Coolidge was pushing no controversial legisla tive program and his party was thoroughly in control. Eisenhow er's position is exactly the reverse. And he certainly wants to com plete his record if he can. The hurry-up boys can argue that, since his retirement is a foregone conclusion, saying so will not make matters worse. But the fact remains that, until he says so, many will• retain a lingering hope and some an unexpressed fear of the miracle, and his po litical strength will be• conserved by just that much. Grad Language Exams Foreign language examinations, required of candidates for ad vanced degrees, will be given from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 7. Th e French and Spanish examinations will be given in 316 . Sparks, and the German examination in 228 Sparks. SATURDAY. OCTOBER f 2. MS u ' s Ike Decide Withdraw? Nittany Council To Elect Four Into Vacancies Nittany Council will elect" four officers to fill council vacancies at a special meeting at 6:45 p.m. Monday in Nittany Dorm 20, council president George Mauler has announced. Positions to be filled include those of secretary, treasurer, and two members-at-large. The form er two offices were vacated when their holders resigned at the be ginning of the semester. The two member-at-large posi tions were left vacant, Mauler said, to give members of this year's council an opportunity to fill them. Nominations for all positions are still open, and final nomina tions will be held just before the elections. Morgan Lewis, junior in psychology from Wilkes-Barre, has been nominated for treasurer, and Melvin Weaver, sophomore in industrial engineering from Tem ple, for secretary.. Nominated fo r members-at large are Robert Adams, sopho more in business administration from Johnstown; Paul Kulp, sen ior in agronomy from Pottstown; and Benjamin Winslow, sopho more in psychology from Patton. Mauler said he erroneously an nounced at the last council meet ing that nominees had to be at least second semester students. He corrected the statement to mean any student is eligible, provided he has a 2.0 All-University aver age.
