McCiJacken Talks
At NSA Meet
The role that the National StUdent Association can play
on campus is to influence and help students to learn to value
freedom, not fear it, Charles McCracken, dean of men of
Allegheny College, said last night.
Speaking at the opening, session of the three-day Penn
sylvania-West Virginia NSA regional assembly, McCracken
said that "students should not get bogged down in techniques
but need spiritual qualities that value the individual."
Stevenson
Links Prexy
With Peron
President Milton S. Eisenhower
has become the target of Demo
cratic presidential aspirant Adlai
E. Stevenson's criticism for an al
leged friendship with Juan Peron,
deposed Argentine dictator.
Speaking in Miami Thursday
night, Stevenson charged that
United States relations with Latin
American countries,' had deter
iorated considerably during the
Eisenhower administration and
laid much of the blame to Penn
State's president.
Proxy Hit on 3 Counts
Stevenson criticized Dr. Eisen
hower on three counts:
1) That his "close friendship"
with the former dictator was re
sponsible for alleged unpopular
ity of the U.S. in Argentina.
2) That he yielded to Peron's
request to maintain a U.S. ambas
sador in Argentina whose trans
fer to another post had. already
been announced.
3) That he persuaded Peron to
allow the U.S. to.lend Argentina
money after Peron had declared
that "he would cut off both his
arms rather than accept a loan
from the United States."
Stevenson - Wrongly Informed
When informed of Stevenson's
statements yesterday, Dr. Eisen
hower said:
"Mr. .Stevenson has been in
correctly informed. When I vis
ited Argentina three years ago,
loans were not once mentioned
either by Argentineans or me. The
only specific problem discussed
during. my two-day visit was the
restoration of freedom to the
United States press associations
and this was successfully re
solved."

"I expect NSA," he continued,
"to help clarify and maintain bal
ance and coordination of effort
among faculty, students, and ad
ministration." •
He emphasized that the major
contribution of NSA is the quest
for a newer form of education.
One is needed, he said, in which
the "student is a more active par
ticipant than at present, and one
that is more suited to modern
life than the present antiquated
system." '

To Rob an Hour
Ahead or behind? Once again
students face the annual clock
changing problem of converting
from standard to daylight saving
time, as the "long day" will offi
cially. go into effect at 2 a.m. to
morrow.
. It has been suggested that one
sure way not to get behind the
times is to set the clock one hour
ahead.
The time change in no way re
fers to the Dean of Women's an
nouncement of special weekend
hours for coeds. Two o'clock per
missions will only be given next

Perhaps the solution lies in go
ing to bed one hour earlier. so
as not to miss that extra hour
one would get by setting his clock
ahead one hour.
