does give the state's voters in
both parties a chance to express
their .preference for the nomina

STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2, 1955
Campus, continuing its no-plat
form stand, proposed a "state
ment of policy" similar to its
open letter to students published
last spring.
Suggestions in the statement
were: the ettablishment of fresh
man and sophomore class advisory
boards; better communication be
tween freshmen and upperclass
men, possibly by a change in the
Orientation Week program; bet
ter and more diverse recreational
facilities; and further, extension
and use of Cabinet Personnel In
terviewing .'Committee.
'Makes No Promises'
It also states that the "Campus
party also recognizes the inability
of the University to cope with
the present parking problem, due
to the limitations in the present
physical plant, an d therefore
makes no promises concerning
this problem."
It further states that "we (the
party) again will strive to carry
out our suggestions as we have in
the past and will continue our
policy of no rash promises, which
we know cannot be fulfilled."
Lion States Purpose
Thomas Dye, Lion party clique
chairman, told the Daily Collegian
last night that his party "believes
that the purpose of a political
party is not only to elect candi
dates, but also • to bring student
problems to the attention of
everyone.
"We're not trying to kid the
student body; we can't tell the
administration what to do; but
we can and, if elected, we will,
move in All-University Cabinet
to recommend that freshman vet
erans over 21 years of age' be
allowed cars on campus; move in
Cabinet to recommend the in
itiation of intercollegiate coed
sports; and move in Cabinet to
recommend a loud speaker sys
tem at Beaver Field for play-by
play description of the games."
Campus Cites Accomplishments
The Campus statement a 1 s o
mentions accomplishments of the
party since sweeping the elections
last spring.
The statement claims the party
instituted regular office hours in
the Hetzel Union Building for
elected Campus candidates; the
establishment of advisory boards
for the junior and senior classes;
that "definite action will be com
ing" in regard to better living
conditions for town independent
men; and that CPIC "Is being
used almost exclusively to secure
qualified people who' would not
normally get an'opportunity, thus
eliminating the political "spoils
system'."
Elections of freshman and soph
omore class officers will be held
Nov. 10 and 11 in the basenient
of the HUB.
Girman Unification Talks Proposed
GENEVA, Nov. 1 (EP)—An
East German delegation pro
posed to the Big Four foreign
ministers today that talks be
tween East and West Ger
many be held soon to prepare
for free elections to unify a neu
tralized Germany.
Western diplomats viewed the
proposal, backed by the Soviet
Union, as nothing more than a
new propaganda bid.
This view was reinforced by re
ports from a special briefing giv
en the entire Cdmmunist press
here by a Soviet spokesman who
said "there will be no German re
unification" at the Big Four for

Mitchell Expresses
Faith in Economy
Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell last night expressed his faith in a bright fu
ture in the development of an economy of technology in industry and said he sees "auto
mation" as bringing a higher standard of living instead of extensive unemployment.
Mitchell's speech in Schwab Auditorium closed the third annual Career Day of the Col
lege of Business Administration. Following his talk Mitchell answered questions on a guaran
teed annual wage, the Taft-Hartley Law, and the New Deal.
Stressing the development.of technology in industry, Mitchell said there is a growing
accent upon the technician in the modern age. Engineers of all kinds are in great demand

filed by its observer secretariat
while the foreign ministers took a
one-day recess. It appeared aimed
at influencing German national
opinion and Western quarters said
that, as it stands, it is certain to
be rejected.
The full text of the 24-page pro
posal is not to be released until
tomorrow. In substance, it would
bring East and West German par
liamentary representatives toge
ther, ignoring the Bonn govern
ment's adamant refusal to talk to
its Communist rivals.
Proposals Listed
An East German spokesman
said the proposal suggested these
moves for elections and reunifica
tion:
1. Formation of an all-German
Council for the East German
Volkshammer lower house and
the West German Bundestag, also
rgiatt
By PAT HUNTER
and will continue to be in de
mand, he said.
"The special skills that the
economy will require will have
an effect upon the composition of
the work force. Unskilled work
ers are in less demand. Semi
skilled workers are growing in
number. Skilled workers are on
the increase—but not just to tend
a separate and isolated step in
production," he said.
• However, he said that the in
creased emphasis upon technical
and scientific training to meet ex
panding needs should not make us
lose sight of a great need for a
liberal education. The broader
the base a worker has in the arts
and social sciences the better able
he is to specialize later on, he
said.
'Arts Neglected'
"Nearly all of us," Mitchell said,
I"have run into people who have
had technical or scientific skill
'but had so neglected the arts that
they did not know how to express
themselves most effectively con
cerning the subjects in which they
did- have competence. We need a
combination of both practical and
liberal education to meet the
needs of tomorrow. That is ex
actly what the land-grant colleges
were established to provide."
Mitchell warned against losing
sight of the importance of the
human being as an individual.
The de-humanization of de-per
sonaliztion of man by totalitarian
systems is well known, he said.
Their creators felt that the ma
terial well-being of the people
could be brought about without
regard to individual dignity or
spiritual values, he added.
Automation No Threat
In the question and answer per
iod after the speech, Mitchell said
automation would make for a
higher standard of living. He cit
ed as his reason the fact that the
rise of productivity is not greater
now than in the 1920'5, despite a
tremendous increase in technol
ogy.
He said there would' be some
temporary readjustment but pre
dicted higher levels of employ
ment in the long run.
Asked his views on the guaran
teed annual wage, Mitchell said
the worker wants a reasonable
assurance of job stability. If this
is given him, he said, he will be
happy.
He said that President Dwight
D. Eisenhower has recommended

lower house, to be composed of
"representatives of all democratic
parties and organizations."
2. The all - German Council
would tackle the problem of "co
operation in internal German re
lations" between the two repub•
lies. '
3. The final task of the Council
would be to prepare for "German
unity through free elections."
Germany Would be Neutral
4. A reunited Germany woul,l
be bound not to join either West
ern or Eastern military blocks but
to remain neutral.
5. All military forces of the Big
Four powers would be withdrawn
from German territory.
6. "Social achievements" of the
East German Communist system
as well as capitalist ways of lif'
in West Germany would be pre
served after reunification.
