For Best Results ‘Do It Yourself Now that a new semester is approaching it seems like as good a time as any to complain about the scholastic advisor system. There is a regulation that stales students must confer with their advisors at least 24 hours prior to registration. Bui for all the good some advisors do the student might just as well see him after he registers. Advisors are faculty members in a student's major field who are supposedly well enough acquainted with requirements and outside elec tives to help the student choose the most ad vantageous courses. But this is not always the case. Too often the advisor is a rubber stamp. He will approve any schedule just so long as his advisee has not signed up for two classes the same hour. This haphazard scheduling does not allow the stu dent to make the best of this eight semesters of study and sometimes it prevents him from graduating at the end of four years. These problems exist but it is not certain who is to blame. An advisor who does not know what the requirements for graduation Members Remember Memorable things have always happened at Penn State. But recently it seems that more of them have been worth remembering or so it would appear from Alumni Association sta tistics. For years only about one third of the Uni versity's graduates joined the association but In the past two years the enrollment has come close to the fifty per cent mark. January graduates will have until Commence ment Day to get rate reductions on membership in the organization whose dual purpose is serv ice to the University and its alumni. For a first-year membership fee of $2 the association offers alumni seven issues of the Alumni News, the Football Letter and official U.S. May By WILLIAM L. RYAN AP Foreign News Anaylst Instead of raising once again the specier of nuclear war fare. the United States might score a decisive success-in the cold war by calling the Com munist bluff. The Soviet Union has retained the propaganda advantage in this argument. The position stated by Communist Boss Krushchev in India is this: Lacking agreement to end nuclear weapons tests, the Russians are forced to continue experimentation. But the Soviet Union, he says, stands for outlaw ing such, weapons. The American reply, as il-. . luminated by' various state ments indicate that the United States was prepared to use nu clear weapons in Asia. In the second place, they serve notice that the United States will con tinue to lest nuclear weapons. Both these statements are like ly to resurrect the basic fears of the Asians which were so appar ent two years ago when the sec retary of state was speaking in terms of “massive retaliation.” Wilson to Give Paper At AIEE Meeting in N.Y. Dr. Warren E. Wilson, professor of engineering education, will de liver a paper, “The Engineering Science Curriculum at the Penn sylvania State University” at the general meeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in New York, N.Y. on Feb. 1. French to Head Study Dr. Cyrus E. French, professor of animal nutrition, will leave " next week for Pakistan to head a team making a study of the nutrition problems in the armed forces of that country. He will return in April. (Flip latlti Collpgtatt Successor f THE FREE LANCE, fit. 1887 Call Red Bluff Moreover, the secretary has been quoted as indicating that the United States is willing, as a means of deterring the Soviet Union, to bring the world to the brink of war and take the long chance that the world would not be pushed over that precipice. This is likely to do little to calm the fears of the Asians and other people who dread the prospect. Soviet propagandists likely will seize upon the statements. The "wake-up-A merica" statement endorsed by the Pres ident and the secretary of stale is likely to be welcomed throughout the United States as a courageous assessment of the condition of the country in the cold war. It might have been followed up most effectively by a frontal assault on Soviet propaganda. A strong statement that the United States not only opposed nuclear warfare but was prepared under safeguards to end experimenta tion with atomic weapons would have an electrifying effect on world opinion. Up to now the Soviet Union's horror of nuclear weapons has been a matter of words alone. When the chips are down, Mos Faculty Club Elects Steering Committee Five faculty members were elected to the steering committee of the Faculty Luncheon Club for the Spring semester. They are Merwin W. Humphrey, professor of forestry; Dr. Robert T. Oliver, professor and head of the department of speech; Leland S. Rhodes, professor emeritus of civil engineering; Dr. Margaret B. Matson, assistant professor of so ciology; and Dr. Beatric L. Hagen, associate professor .of mathemat ics. Co-ed Swim Scheduled A co-ed swim, to be held from 7 to 9:30 p.m. in Glennland pool, will be open to couples only. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA are for each of his students may be held ac countable, but the student himself is not blame less. For even though his college provides him with an advisor he should not allow all the responsibility rest with him. If he is not suf ficiently interested in his college career to see that he graduates on time his advisor cannot be expected to be. A lot of advisors consider it an extra chore to work with undecided and sometimes mixed up students and it is easy to see why they do a poor job. It is also apparent that these same indifferent faculty members can not be paid to take a personal interest in each of their stu dents. But they are obligated to keep up with department and college changes in required courses and check to see what substitutions can be made. The administration is working to improve the whole area of scholastic advising and it is cer tainly a field that needs looking into. But in the meantime we suggest that you students not rely on faculty advice and ‘do it yourself’. —Jackie Hudgins Gazette *..

If the Unit ed Slates were lo say: "We are against experimentation with nuclear weapons and here is how we propose to stop it," a set of conditions could be laid down which' could be most em barrassing lo the Kremlin. The realist knows the U.S.S.R. is not going to throw open to in spection its position in nuclear weapons, and the stalemate is likely to persist. The world has been waiting for American action. The welcome accorded President Eisenhower’s “open skies” proposal at the Gen eva summit conference, and the temporary embarrassment it evir dently caused the Kremlin, could have served as guideposts for the direction of U.S. policy. But the way matters stand now, much of world opinion unjustly blames the United States- for a state of affairs which causes peo ple everywhere to live in dread of a catastrophic war. The U.S.S.R. says it is for peace and prohibition of nuclear weap ons. So far nobody seems to have thought of asking them bluntly to prove it. ACE Invites White To Ed Conference Dr. Marsh W. White, professqr of physics, has been invited by the American Council on Educa tion to participate in a conference in Washington, D.C., next week. The conference will consider problems facing colleges and uni versities as a result of increasing enrollments and difficulties con nected with maintaining teaching staffs of high quality.

Over Christmas vacation I indulged in a —watching television. This is unusual for two of all the average television show just doesn’t and second, while I’m busy playing the part time for such things is limited, But over the holidays, bet\ papers, I found myself with some time on my hands. And, having nothing better to do, I sat in front of a television set. The most significant thing , 1 noticed was that despite all the crying over the national debt someone seems to have a lot of money these days. And it seems everyone is try ing to give it away. In the course of one program alone, I saw well over $40,000 and a couple of Cadillacs change hands. And to top it off, during the next half-hour, a lucky couple won $lOO a week for the next year, and a chance to win $lOO a week for life as long as they keep answering questions. These two programs aren’t the only ones running the race.' The one which claims to have the biggest jackpot gives away $lOO,OOO. Another, in an effort to keep up with the mob, has upped its ante to $25,000. One show, which claims to be the grand-daddy of them all, claims to have given away over $5 million during the years it has been on the air. Even the non-quiz shows are getting into the giveaway act. A show that is primarily musi cal has arranged to give away new -cars to four lucky- con testants every year for the rest of their lives. This race, which appears des tined to allow mankind to retire for life, must have some social significance. I’m not quite sure what it is, but I'm sure it’s signi ficant. ~ Maybe it shows that people are becoming mercenary. After all, I remember only a few years ago when people answered ques tions for a top prize of only $64 on the popular quiz show of the day. And then there were the Quiz Kids, who: did it- for prac tically nothing. The ironic thing about the sit uation is that a contestant who wins the big money won’t ever see more than half of it. I’ve done research on it. Say a person correctly answers “The $64,000 Question.” Now assuming he is married and has a couple of kids he will get only about $25,000 —under half. Taxes take the rest Makes one wonder if the whole struggle is worth it. Af ter all, what's a paltry $254)00 these days? I should be so lucky. FRIDAY.
