Superiority Complex
The superiority complex or racism will be
our last consideration of the causes for preju
dice.
Two of the important problems of intergroup
relations, according to Arnold M. Rose’s “Roots
of Prejudice” are religious and racial in nature.
“The history of the West was marked for
many centuries by violence between Christians
and Moslems and later between Catholics and
Protestants,” the report explained. “Belief dif
ferences between groups frequently involve the
notion that non-believers are agents or advo
cates of sin, heresy, corruption, or some other
form of evil. To persecute them is to do justice
or perform a service for the Lord.”
The cry, “God Is on Our Side” has led thou
sands of battles toward a victory that promised
virtual Utopia and righteous salvation. Many
6 Worst Darn Stuff
Tobacco is a dirty weed,
I like it.
It satisfies no normal need,
I like it.
It makes you thin, it makes you lean,
It takes the hair right off your bean,
It’s the worst darn stuff I’ve ever seen.
I like it.
—G. L. Hemminger, Class of 1916
This is Penn State’s most famous ditty. Writ
ten for Froth in 1916 (when Froth was funny),
the poem is now included in Bartlett’s Famous
Quotations,
And today, as in 1916, the ditty still strikes
a truthful note. The "darn stuff" can cause
more trouble. For today lean, bald students,
men and women alike, may well burn up some
University buildings with their “dirty weeds.”
Smoking in class is pleasurable to the lean,
bald type, but to others it can be a downright
nuisance to be pestered by the cigarette stench.
More important, however, is the fire hasard
involved—smoking in such. buildings as Tem
porary and others of old construction consti
tutes a danger which should not be tolerated,
A little common sense is all it takes to realize
that such a hazard should be done away with
by common consent. And if that isn’t enough,
a University regulation does forbid smoking
in class rooms.
What we'd really like to see is the lean, bald
students clustered about the receptacles pro
vided for the "weed" in the halls, and healthy,
well-combed students in the classrooms enjoy
ing the mountain air.
3 Scholarships
Given by Grit
Three scholarships to aid jour
nalism students have been estab
lished by Grit Publishing Co.,
Williamsport.
The new awards will provide
$3OO a year and will be available
during the sophomore, junior, and
senior year to students who held
the Howard J. Lamade Journal
ism Scholarship during the fresh
man year, according to President
Milton S. Eisenhower.
The Lamade Scholarship pro
vides $3OO each year for a fresh
man in journalism, chosen on the
basis of interest in journalism
while in high school. It was es
tablished in 1949 by Howard J,
Lamade, vice president and secre
tary of Grit Publishing Co.
In order for the winner of the
Lamade Scholarship to qualify
for the Grit Scholarships during
his sophomore, junior, and senior
years, he must maintain high
scholarship in his curriculum.

Alpha Delta Sigma
Wins Advertising
Service Award
The Penn State chapter of Al
pha Delta Sigma, advertising fra
ternity, has been given the 1955
Public Service Award, in the
President’s Cup competition, spon
sored by the national organiza
tion.
The Benjamin Franklin chapter
won the award for its work on a
proposed campaign for the Col
lege Area Welfare Drive. Com
pleting against 44 other fraterni
ties in the contest, held annually
to encourage closer cooperation
between local chapters and the
advertising profession, the fra
ternity originated the “12 in 1”
seal used in the campaign.
A larger amount of display ad
vertising, another idea proposed
by the local chapter, was used in
the campaign, which reached its
goal for the first time in three
years.

soldiers have gone to war because they believed
God willed it.
Religious intergroup tension has existed since
the beginning of recorded history, but racism
seems to be largely a modern phenomenon,
Rose's report stated. "It was at least rare until
its modern development less than two centuries
ago as a perversion of early biological science
and it still has not spread much into cultures
other than those of the West."
The natural historians of the eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries classified the species
and divided humans into five races which could
be graded like species of animals, into higher
and lower. Their beliefs included the following
elements:
1. The differences between groups—differ
ences in body and in mind—are. all due to
hereditary biology, and nothing can change
them.
2. . . habits, attitudes, beliefs, behavior
and all the things we learn are determined
for us before we are born.
3. All differences between a minority group
and the majority group are thought to be signs
of inferiority.
4. If there should be biological crossing of
the groups, the children will be more degen
erate than either of the parent groups.”
Education has taught us that - these theories
are erronous, but experience has shown us that
their effect is still seen today. According to
present-day scientific theory, mankind is of
one origin and racial differences were later
developments.
And the people who accuse scientists of being
more idealistic than sensible—who believe
prejudice to be inherent rather than learned—
who are ignorant in their racial superiority
discourage the groups of workers all over the
world who are organized to eradicate this most
serious blight on civilization, but they can not
stop them.

Columnist Predicts
Krushchevs Line
By J. M. Roberts
Associated Press News Analyst
Nikita Khrushchev, who has been saying such nasty
things while on a state visit to Burma, will
probably say when he goes to Britain on a similar trip next
April that it must have ail been a mistake by some other guy
who has already been purged.
That’s the way he tried to han
dle some previous Russian nasti
ness toward Yugoslavia when he
went to see President Tito last
spring.
There has been discussion in
Britain as to whether Anthony
Eden should now withdraw his
invitation to Nikolai Bulganin and
Khrushchev, in view of the un
bridled attacks which have been
chorused by the Russian press.
Eden won’t withdraw it, of course.
Khrushchev, boss of interna
tional communism, began to hty
the world's front pages only af
ter the ouster of Malenkov from
the premiership early this year.
At first he asumed the pose of
a sensible, convivial fellow who
could and would do business
with the West.
That lasted until the July “sum
mit” conference in Geneva, when
Bulganin, Khrushchev’s new pre
mier, arrived without any evi
dence of intent to do business,
and Molotov knocked the rest of
the facade full of holes at the
foreign ministers meeting.
Even after that, however, the
Russians gave lip service to the
sweetness and light campaign un
til Bulganin and Khrushchev
went to India and Burma.
Trying to play all the anti
colonial tunes which the Asiatics
love so well, the Russian leaders
redeclared their war on the West.
Bulganin started it with a boast
of ultimate victory made before
the Indian Parliament. But that
was only a political statement de
signed to attract Indian support.
Kruschev began to work up
steam on the theme that the
Western powers have not drop
ped their colonial ambitions,
and went on from there to ac
cuse Britain of conspiring to
foster Hitler's attack on Russia.
Any attempt to answer all the
lies which Russia can put out
would require a lifetime of devo
tion. However, the record of Rus
sia’s deal with Germany to take
part of Poland, Latvia, Lithuania,
Estonia, and part of the Middle
East if captured, in return for her
own neutrality during an attack
on the Western Powers, is so clear
as to be wholly obvious.
For Khruschev to attempt to
twist that record is one of the
most bald-faced efforts ever made
by a country noted for them.
