The Case for Downtown Housing Why doesn't somebody do something about downtown housing? This is like a lot. of questions that are asked more often than they are answered because their critics far outnumbered their champions. A little knowledge is usually. a dangerous thing but a lot of it on housing is 'almost an insuperable handicap. It is impossible for an informed person to give easy answers to the hard questions on poor conditions. Because the University does not own suffi cient dormitory facilities, over three thousand men have to find rooms in town. Because the Borough of State College does not have sufficient funds to support a full-time fire department it has to depend on volunteer help. • _ And because students are some of .the most prolific critics in the world they complain -about where they live. Why doesn't somebody do something about downtown housing? The question is complex— so is the answer. First of all, something is being done. Already this semester the fire marshal', who is a part time employee, in cooperation with the volun- Governing Group or The Interfraternity Council, as an active governing body and voice of the fraternities at the University, is a farce. It is a farce because the great majority of proposals or ideas presented to IFC do not come from the IFC representatives. Instead. these ideas come from the executive committee of IFC, composed of the council officers and adviser. In most instances, these motions are presented by the IFC president, or by an IFC representa tive who has been asked to do so by the ex ecutive committee. The executive committee is not supposed to do IFC's thinking, but it is forced to undertake this task because of the lack of interest shown by member fraternities. The proposals which are brought. before IFC are voted upon with little or no debate. We are not asking that fraternity delegates go around all day thinking of things to bring up before IFC. We are not asking that a motion be debated upon for the mere sake of debate. However, it would seem that over a period of two months, there would be a multitude of problems and constructlie ideas arising which could be brought before IFC. Apparently fra ternities at the University do not have one single idea or complaint. It's good to see fra ternities in such a happy frame of mind. It would also seem that the IFC delegates would find something in the motions which Safety Valve... On the Push Cart Race TO THE EDITOR: The following are just a few questions that have been brought to our atten tion concerning the TIM Push Cart Race. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to ask. 1. Contributions are from one to 10 dollars. It is hoped that those organizations that can afford more than one dollar will donate the larger amount. It is also hoped that the one dollar minimum will allow those individuals who can't afford more, but are interested in the Campus Chest, to enter the race. 2. Town Independent Men are constructing the carts necessary for the race. Individuals and organizations will be required to make their contributions and be at the race only. We are doing all the work. 3. It is suggested that an organization sponsor one person per donation. This person need not be a member of the specific group. For example. a sorority may sponsor an independent male or female, or even a faculty member, if that group desires. The sponsoring organization is the recipient of the trophy and prize money. It is up to the sponsors to do with • the money what they wish. 4 The person sponsored will push the cart. The cart is of light weight construction and does not need an extra large football player to push it. The person pushing the cart may be dressed in any costume the group desires to Philosophy Club to Meet J.

PENNSYLVANIA leer firemen has made plans to conduct team block inspections of multiple housing units. This means that about six. men will go into houses that have rooms for rent to check to see that no fire regulations are violated. If violations are found the owners =will be notified and advised either - to make sufficient repairs to bring the dwelling up to standard safe con dition or stop renting it. Landlords who have been violating fire regu lations will do well to heed theinspectors' warnings. Either they are unaware or don't care. But if a fire occurs in a living unit that is in violation of fire regulations the owner may be held legally and financially liable for injury or loss of life. Even this is an over-simplified account of the difficulties that present themselves upon investigation of town housing and fire hazards. Before improvements will be started. inspec tions mud be made, and before inspections can be made, volunteers mist be organized. This has not been meant to excuse poor housing conditions—rather to explain why they exist. We do not mean to tolerate procrastina tion—rather we hope to encourage correction. —Jackie Hudgins Fraternity Farce? have been brought before IFC which they did not understand or completely agree with. Evi dently the delegates understood every facet of practically every proposal presented to - IFC thus far. The composition of the IFC delegates -is an even bigger farce. The council constitution states that the president of each' house shall attend IFC meetings as the representative of his house. However, all too many houses send non office holding members to act at their council representatives. Some houses have even sent pledges to represent the house. Common sense dictates that a person not hold ing office 'in a house can hardly speak for the house. His knowledge of integral fraternity matters is limited. Thus, he would not know how a certain motion might affect his house. Sending a pledge to a meeting as a delegate is even more ridiculous. Fraternities vehemently stand up for the right of self-government. But they refuse to take an active part in their own governing body. Take away IFC and fraternity row would bellow and moan. But these fraternities have yet to prove they can support IFC. It is up to fraternities to make IFC an active governmental body with full participating mem bership, instead of a "yes" group for an over loaded executive committee. .

Roboris Associated Press News Analyst One of the questions foreign policy makers will have to answer soon, political year or no political year, is how the United States can get the initiative in the new type of war fare for which • Russia laid the groundwork with, her late lamented "cooperation" campaign. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles hit close to the problem but not the answer yes terday when he pointed out that if the United States tried to match every offer of economic aid made by Russia to Asia. the 'Soviets could, without expense to them selves, jockey this country. into ruinous expenditures. Not often have students •of the East-West conflict been as united in their estimates as they • are since the failure , of the Geneva conference. They believe Russia is set fora long-range campaign of economic and .political infiltra-, tion along the line of the Com munist arms deal " and offer of economic aid to Egypt.. • Some, including state de partinent experts; think the United States will have to shift its emphasis accordingly. Many believe the United States should take the initiative instead of letting Russia make the ges tures while the United States eventually foots the bills, as promises to be the case in the construction of a big' dam for Egypt. This would include a careful study of what can be afforded out of the rapidly increasing national income, against the background of possible losses to Russia which cannot be afforded on any grounds. Hardly any 'of the students be lieve the Washington administra tion, however hard-pressed to ance the budget and offer tax re ductions before next summer's campaign, will be able to continue its policy of reducing the foreign aid program. The question now is not one of reduction, but bow much it will have to be increased. So far, Russia has given no sign that her new emphasis on peaceful infiltration of Asia is to be accompanied by any sig nificant relaxation• of the mili tary preparedness with which she backs up her diplomatic program. Until there is some such sign, there can be• little hope of military savings suffi cient to balance the . economic aid program. In some fashion, too, the United States must manage •to make, it clear that the economic aid pro gram, whatever . form it takes, is not merely an effort to buy allies for a future war, or to block Rus sian domination of newly emerg ing countries merely by substitut- EDNESDAY. in American domination. If a sensible, not-too,straining aid program can be worked out, designed to give underdeveloped peoples time to work out their Own political systems to fit their own cultures, with general- world welfare as the obvious objective, then .the United States, will have a chance of winning this new war.
