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.

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

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.
The following reasons were giv
en for withdrawing: illness 5, fi
nancial 1, personal 16, scholastic 4,

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. 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

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.
