That Players will present a commendable performance of this well-known work is almost certain, in view of two factors. One is the collaboration of the Department of Music: the other, the aid of faculty members well-versed in all aspects of such work. However, the presence of these very factors raises a question of principle. The University already maintains a musical comedy group of long and highly regarded standing: Thespians. The question brought to mind is whether or not Players are, in principle, invading the ter ritory of their companion dramatic group. Thespians, in presenting two musical produc tions each season, employ only student direction and management. One of the shows is even written by Thespian personnel. Players, in presenting "The Mikado," which, in effect, will be competing with Thespians in their own field in that comparisons will no Just the Beginning Before voting time tonight Cabinet members should know pretty well how they feel about the University's continuance in the National Student Association. And since this is the sec ond week they, have been thinking about how they want to vote, the decision should be sensible and for the University's best interest. , If the majority of members decide to stay in NSA it will be a victory for the most en thusiastic of the NSA supporters, namely those who attended the convention last summer. But such a decision will carry with it much more than the idea of victory for these spirited four. It will mean that Cabinet will have to de velop a realistic attitude toward NSA—realise its objectives as well as its limitations. Any Cabinet member who casts his vote for what he believes to be the panacea for student gov ernment ills might just as well not vote. An affirmative vote will delegate to Cabinet members the responsibility of seeing to it that the average student takes some kind of interest in NSA affairs. For students in the past have been unaware of NSA except when its member ship was brought up, voted upon, and passed. Cabinet members will also be obligated to attend meetings, be on committees, make re ports, and submit ideas to NSA. This is a big University and big things will be expected from us. The affirmative vote, like a wedding ring means the beginning of a long struggle, not the end. a ety Outing Club Set for Ice Show 0 THE EDITOR: The Penn State Outing Club appreciates the interest expressed by students for an ice carnival. However, this is not a new idea, as the winter sports division of the Outing Club has already advocated this to Dean Earnest B. McCoy of the College of Physical Education and Athletics. Also, this division has already contributed much to the promotion of this activity as the record will indicate. For example, last year the division offered these services to the rink management: First, to arrange a• series of figure skating exhibitions, to be produced by near-by skating clubs such as those from Hershey. Philadel phia, Pittsburgh. and Washington. •D.C. Be cause the rink did not open until Jan. 1, con flicting schedules of skatinv clubs prevented the carrying out of this project. Second, student figure skaters provided in formal figure skating instructions to students, faculty, and children who skated at the rink Saturday morning. Third, a student ice carnival was scheduled for March 5, 1955, under the chairmanship of Miss Joan Means and Vince Minnich. Due to exceedingly warm weather and the mounting operating costs of the rink under such weather conditions, the facility was closed a few days prior to the production date. Finally, Dean McCoy called upon the winter sports division to arrange an informal show for the official opening of the rink. A half hour figure skating exhibition was arranged for the SAME to Meet Tonight Guthrie Will Address The Society of American Mili tary Engineers will meet at 7 to night in the Mineral Science Aud itorium.

Thespians can audition only those students who voluntarily present themselves for vocal and instrumental roles. Players will be pre senting in such roles students who were re quested to audition for them. Players are obviously undertaking a com mendable enterprise in their presentation of "The Mikado." If they , are highly successful in this venture, basically outside their field, they are to be complimented. However, the fact that they are stepping into the field of another similar campus organization and employing advantages not available to that organisation should be kept in mind in passing judgment on the desirability of continuing such productions, and in comparing them with the productions of the other organisations. —Don Shoemaker Gazette...

Valve ... Criticizes Editorials TO THE. EDITOR: Almost every day that I pick up The Daily Collegian, I find an editorial, full of fire and fury, written by Jackie Hudgins. That young lady, although writing with an enormous and impressive vocabulary, consis tently says little of value. She is a martyr without a cause, a "man without a star." Take for example Miss Hud gins' statement in the Friday, Oct. 28, Collegian: "Busloads of such people (Penn State students) should not be taken to the United Nations." Her reasoning is missing, but her usual blind stabs at what she glibly calls "conformity" are present. It seems to me that Miss Hudgins is guilty of conforming to the fad of attacking the plague of the day—conformity. —Jon Plaut University president and invited guests . . . . The winter sports division has already offered their services this year to the rink management to arrange exhibitions, student in struction, and an annual ice carnival at no ex pense to the University. We feel that the final decision as to the organization that may have the privilege of sponsoring a student ice carni val rests with Dean McCoy, but it would seem that the winter sports division of the Penn State Outing Club should have the privilege. • Letter Cut --Joseph L.

Russian Aid to Continue U.S. May Send Arms to Israel By J. M. ROBERTS JR. Associated Press News Analyst It begins to appear that Israel will get arms if she really needs them to insure her security, and thereby lessen the chances of war in the Middle East which could spread to war in the world. The hope that Russia could be persuaded to call off ship ment of Czech arms to Egypt is, fizzling. Russian statements in Geneva Tuesday made it clear that shipments will continue. The Russian statement that the arms will not be used to hurt Israel is just another Russian statement. The Russians have finally brought into the open. however.' an important factor in the whole Middle East situation. Arming •of Egypt represents counter action against the "Northern Tier" pact between Turkey. Iraq. Iran. Pakistan and Britain. say the Russians. And this is partly true. Britain has stepped. up her arms shipments to Iraq. especially. Russia, choosing to accept this as a threat, 'made it a race by tying up with Cairo and trying to work herself •in with the' Arab countries' which fought the pact, Syria and Egypt, or which align themselves with Egypt, as Saudi Arabia and Lebanon. This is a double dose of Com munist disruptiveness, heighten ing the trouble between Israel and Egypt at the same time it emphasizes the differences with in the Arab world itself. The American announcement that Israel's appeals for arms will be "considered." however. opens the door on an idea which has been avoided in previous consideration of the problem. One thing that the United States and Britain have kept in mind since the crisis developed is that Israel had the edge when Czech sales to Egypt were announced, and they have been waiting to see whether Egypt is actually going to develop the power necessary before any attack. Also, they don't want to give Israel the power to implement her talk of preventive war. Such a policy in South Korea prior to June, 1950, eventually proved very expensive, but it is one with which the democracies are inher ently stuck. A controlled feeding of arms to Israel might maintain the balance while Egypt is still re ceiving Communist material. But it would also intensify the danger to the rest of the world if a new war developed any way. Before this thing simmers down, the Western powers may yet have to say what the United States once said in an effort to put a A~'t~.3:'~llJs~ ~ damper on Red Chinese ambitions in the Far East—that an aggres sor will have to expect powerful retaliation. It just isn't in the cards fir the big powers to let these small countries set off fuses which lead to explosive situations in many directions.
