The third and last major Centennial event was held this fall—the Cen tennial Convocation which discussed the future of land grant education. This serious n 054. was typical of the committee's work as it's outlook has been very progressive. The variety of activities in which the com mittee has taken active interest expresses its concern for all groups and phases of the Uni versity. • The group acted primarily as an idea organ isation.

The unbiased idealism of the members of the committee was felt unceasingly by campus groups. The committee was often frustrated by the reality that it could not put it plans into effect more promptly. The loss of this committee will be felt campus wide, but we hope its ideals and aims will be perpetuated. —Sue Conklin The University's student Centennial Com mittee has shown originality, enthusiasm, thoughtfulness, and insight through the past year in carrying out the objectives set up for them by All-University Cabinet. The committee was set up by Cabinet last January to formulate and plan Centennial ac tivities for the University. As the Centennial year draws to a close, the purpose of the com mittee will also die. But the work and activities are still in full swing although the committee is not planning any specific Centennial activities.

This drive was initiated by the State College Jaycees; however, in the process of completing our aim, the assistance of many others was involved. The purpose of this letter is to thank, publicly, those others for their efforts on be half of our athletes. The University, of course, was of great as sistance. The College of Physical Education and Athletics was one of the chief helpers, from the dean to the grounds-keepers. They loaned us materials, helped us in our plans, and gave their time liberally. The Public Information Department com posed announcements and even gave a page in the program. The Bursar's office helped us count the myriads of assorted coins with their counter and sorter. The hat societies at Penn State did the hard work. They, led by their president (Donald Reidenbaugh), turned out in force, stood in the snow for hours, and went through the stands collecting the moneydonated. They were cold and wet, missed seeing parts of the game, and yet were cheerful and helpful the entire time. Much of the planning was theirs: the hat societies were terrific. Off campus, the Centre Daily Times, the Daily Collegian and radio station WMAJ gave the drive publicity.

Higgins Lion Party Parliamentarian ' to say this was news; it was a contribution on their parts. The State College banks lent us money bags and gave us temporary safekeeping at off hours, and without charge. Nationally, Life magazine contributed all the canisters, posters, and armbands, at its sole expense. We must also !hank those thousands who reached with cold hands through wet clothes to get their donations to drop in our canisters. The result was a collection of $980.27, all of which will go directly to the Olympic Commit tee: not a cent will be taken for "expenses" locally or by Life. We of State College and Penn State will send half the average cost of one man, or $2.00 for every member of the winter and summer teams. With this type of help in our country, we will have truly a United States Olympic team, not an Olympic team of the United States government. This is certainly in keeping with the best traditions of our country's recognition of in dividuals as such, and of the Olympiad, whose aim is competition among individuals, and not among nations. Whether they win, lose, or draw, each and all of our athletes have been well supported by State College and Penn State; ,we all can be proud of this. —Robert K.

"—Then on th' other hand I never was sensitive about anyone seeing my term grades." E2f7='it= Mongol Membership Confuses UN By J. M. Robesta Associated Press News Analyst Outer Mongolia, which is causing such a hassle in the United Nations, was the first postrevolutionary objective of Russia's expansionist policy. It is almost as much a part of Russia as is the Ukraine. Indeed, the Ukranians have given greater evidence of a desire for freedom than have the Mongols. Russian agents staged a revo lution in Outer Mongolia 31 years ago, and the Reds have' held it ever since. • Admitting Outer Mongolia to the UN would be very • much like the separate reprelentation allowed the Ukraine. Puerto Rico has greater autonomy. For centuries Mongolia was, for all intents and purposes, a part of China. Inner Mongolia, into which the Reds also in filtrated, is now being reincor porated into Red China with Russian consent. During the war Chiang Kai shek wrote a book, suppressed for a time at Allied insistence, out lining his demands for return of territories lost by China over the long years. He wanted Hong Kong, part of Burma and, among other things, all of Mongolia. It's Chinese, he said, stretching things a little. But the objective has always been part of Chinese policy. . until the Reds made their deal with Moscow. Now Chiang is refusing to admit, by permit ting mr membership, that the area is independent. He clings to his claims, just as he does regarding the mainland of China. -The United States feels much the same way, but is willing to admit Outer Mongolia and four other Red nations as part of a package deal under which Russia would withhold the veto on ad mission of 13 non-Communist na tions, i some of them of consider able importance. There is a great deal of resent ment over the Nationalist Chinese stand among other UN delega tions. Some are reminding force fully that the Nationalists them selves are threatened with loss of membership through recognition of the fact that the Red regime at Peiping actually controls all China except Formosa. The Nationalists have no chance whatever of ever con trolling Outer Mongolia. For the sake of the record they are al ienating UN votes they are go ing to need some day. The prin ciples and rights involved are so tenuous they hardly soon worth the risk. THURSDAY.
