Jan, Graduates: Speak Your Mind The Senior Class Advisory Board deserves praise for its decision to place suggestion boxes at various points on campus so that seniors graduating in January may make suggestions for their senior class gift. The suggestion boxes will be available until Tuesday when they will be collected by the committee. A ballot will then be drawn up carrying the leading suggestions and seniors will be able to vote on their selections when they pick up their caps and gowns. The two or three suggestions with the most votes will then be placed on the spring ballot when the rest of the class of 1956 votes. The action by the advisory committee cer tainly corrects a long-standing injustice which denied the January graduates a voice in the selection of their class' gift to the University. January graduates should be sure to take advantage of this opportunity afforded them by their class committee. The money for the senior class gift is accumulated from student fees over a four-year period and thus all should have an active interest in seeing that a suitable gift is selected. Last year the senior class presented approxi mately $lO,OOO to the University for pews and furnishings for the nave of the Helen Eaken Eisenhower Chapel. Gifts to the chapel were also made by the classes of 1954 and 1953. Safety Valve... What Does the Veteran Really Deserve? TO THE EDITOR: Some of the main arguments among veterans this semester against talk con cerning passage of any restricting rule on cam pus have been: “I’m a veteran, therefore I shouldn’t have to do that"; or “I’m a veteran, therefore I should be allowed to do this." I cite as examples the veterans’ stand on the blanket freshman car ban and the Sunday dress rule in dining halls. The veteran is attending college on the GI Bill, which he would not have without first having served his country honorably. The GI Bill was passed by Congress because, among other things, the people o! the United Stales wanted to express their appreciation and grati tude to the veteran for his honorable service. The veteran deserves this GI Bill because he has shown himself to be worthy of it. He has worked for it, therefore he deserves it. There is a joke in the service that a Silver Star and a dime will buy a good cup of coffee. The title, “veteran," and a dime will do exactly the same thing, and nothing more. The veteran will not get anything other than the GI Bill Today SABBATH EVE SERVICES. 8 p.m..

Guided Missiles To Be Installed HEIDELBERG, Germany, Jan. 5 </P) —The United States Army plans to install its Nike super sonic antiaircraft guided missiles in Western Europe, it was an nounced today. Army headquarters here said survey of sites for the radar-con trolled weapons would begin im mediately. The announcement de scribed the plan as “a significant step strengthening the over-ail European air defense, system.” The Nike rockets “intercept and destroy enemy air targets regard less of evasive action,” the Army said. Nike units are stationed around American cities and strategic tar gets but have not been sent over seas. The Nike, a large rocket, is named after the Greek goddess of victory. The Army claims it has proved highly effective against modern jet aircraft in tests in the United States. 28 Students Withdraw Twenty students on campus and eight at the centers withdrew from the University between Oct. 6 and Dec; 12.

PENNSYLVANIA Other gift suggestions which were made last year included social television facilities, re building of a recreational lodge, and an endow ment fund for the Pattee Library. The centennial- monument has now, of course, lost its timeliness and would not be a suitable gift for this year’s class. The social television gift is of questionable merit since when suggested it was intended primarily to televise events taking place on campus to other central points such as the Het zel Union. This could detract from attendance at athletic events, student theatrical presenta tions, lectures and other events which depend on admittance fees for their continuance. The Board of Trustees, which must approve the gift, might view the merit of such a project with justifiable doubt. But funds toward the building of a recrea tional lodge, more books for Patlee Library, or another gift to the Chapel would all be spent in a worthwhile manner and again deserve con sideration by this year's seniors. And we are sure that the 1956 graduates have many other worthwhile ideas for a gift which would better their Alma Mater. Let’s hear them. The advisory committee has provided the means for ideas to be expressed. It is now up to the seniors to speak their minds. —The Editor simply because he is a veteran. Anything he gets other than that is because he has worked for it, therefore he deserves it. The Veterans Club was re-organized on cam pus this semester and, although it became somewhat of a political football during recent elections, it is essentially a good organization. It is potentially one of the strongest single in dependent organizations on campus because all of its members have been through similar last ing experiences and therefore have a stronger common tie than most other organizations. And these veterans not only are older and have a solid common meeting ground which other stu dents do not have, they are more experienced in leadership than most other students because of their military service. If the veteran wants something, he has an organization available to use as a sounding board, a voice that will be heard: the Veterans Club. He will not get anything simply because he is a veteran, but he will get something if he has worked for it and has earned the right to have it. Attorney Sets Up Scholarship Fund A scholarship to be known as The Delta Upsilon Scholarship Fund, has been established by Charles D. Prutzman, New York attorney. The scholarships will be award ed to male students having satis factory academic averages who are in need of financial assistance, with members of Delta Upsilon fraternity having priority. The scholarship fund was es tablished as a part of the reor ganization of the Charles D. Prutz man Lion Fund which Prutzman, a 1918 graduate, established in 1946 to aid members of the Delta Upsilon fraternity. Flood Film Entered For Academy Award BOSTON, Jan. 5 <7P)—An Army Engineers’ documentary film on the New England floods of last August has been entered for Academy award consideration. The film shows pictures of com munities once inundated were saved by preventive works con structed by the Corps of Engi neers. The documentary is titled “Op eration Noah,” based on the com ment after the August floods that “this was the worst deluge since ,the time of Noah.” Editorials represent the viewpoints of the writers, not necessarily the policy of the paper, the student body* or the University. —Bill Kling tile Man on Campus ... one thing for that NROTC instructor—he very seldom has a discipline problem." lnterpreting the News More Dissension On Foreign Aid By J. M. Roberts .Associated Press News Analyst President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s suggestion for a long-term foreign aid program can have only limited meaning in the cold war unless Congress approves it with a unanimity which now appears very doubtful. Since it would depend upon year-to-year appropriations, reci pient nations will not be able to give it complete confidence in the face of possible congressional changes of mind. They will have before them, however, the record of the Mar shall Plan for Europe, set up for four years on the same basis and carried through to completition despite serious opposition in its later stages. The Marshall Plan represented one of the most unselfish and dar ing naional actions ever taken by any country in an effort to estab lish an international atmosphere in which it could live comfort ably. The current proposal would revive the policy for an area—the j underdeveloped area of the world] —which is now threatened even more seriously than was Europe in 1947. The ability of the nation to ac cept the Russian challenge for domination of Asia and Africa was apparent in the President’s discussion of the final situation. He said the United States govern ment, after nearly a generation of deficit financing, would be on a pay-as-you-go basis within the next six months. And that takes into considera tion the anticipated increases in foreign aid, military preparedness, and domestic social services such as health, security, schools and roads.’ The President did not hold out any definite promise of being able to do all this and reduce taxes, too, although he was obviously hopeful that could come after a start on reduction of the national debt. And there he may run into a snag with Congress, where Democrats and Republicans alike would prefer to put off expendi tures, especially in such an un popular field as foreign aid, in favor of a tax-cutting appeal to the voters this year. Why is foreign aid unpopular, in the face of the successful rec ord of the Marshall Plan? There are many reasons. No amount of argument will convince some people that reliable allies can be bought. There is, indeed, no certainty that the economic ties the inter national experts wish to forge will prove strong enough to thwart the Communists. It’s just something to try in the face of Russia’s adop tion of the method already intro duced by the United States. The prospect of a long-term need for continued expenditures of this type leads to a certain feel ing of futility. If it's never going to end, some people ask, and if FRIDAY. JANUARY 6. 1956 By Bibler there is no certainty of definitive victory in the foreseeable future, and if there is uncertainty about the value of the underdeveloped nations as allies even if they are won, why not hoard American strength and depend upon a policy of massive retaliation for secur ity? That’s isolationism, already proved by World War II to be the weakest reed upon which a nation ever leaned. To revert to it would be to abdicate the na tion’s inter national leadership, and to renounce the hope of ever [establishing the world atmosphere 'in which Americans wish to live. Profs to Attend Health Confab Three faculty members from the University will participate in the National Conference of College Health Education in Washington, D.C., January 8 to 13. Dr. Miriam E. Lowenberg, head of the department of foods and nutrition, will be a representative for the American Home Econom ics Association. She has been as signed to the discussion group on “Interrelationships—College, Col lege Health Program, Commu nity.” Marie Haidt, professor of physi cal education, and Arthur F. Da vis, professor of physical educa tion, will represent the College of Physical Education. Miss Haidt will take part in dis cussions concerning required courses in physical education, and Davis will participate in the teacher-training program discus sion group.
