Coodbve to a Friend
When Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower came to the
Unnieisity in January of 1950 he was spon
taneously welcomed by thousands of students
on the front steps of Old Main.
Last night Prexy was again surprised by the
student body in front of Old Main, the symbol
of Penn State to students, alumni, and visitors.
Although the student body sang, cheered, and
presented him with gifts, they, we think, as a
whole felt entirely inadequate in attempting
to express their respect and appreciatidn to one
of the University's truly paramount figures.
While at the University, Piexy has carried on
and advanced the admirable pioneer work in the
field of student government done by former
President Ralph Dorn Hetzel, who originated
All-University Cabinet as it now exists. Proxy's
close contact with student leaders and his ever
open office door have created a more effective
student governing body. He has always attempt
ed to stiint.late. not to direct, through such
activities as Student Encampment. This has in
spired the tlniversit 's student government to
become second to few, if any. in the nation.
When Prexy first came to the University he
not only received a warm welcome from the
Student body, but was also discussed in praising
terms by several of its leaders. For instance, the
Leonides president remarked that she was struck
most of all by his sincerity. The Panhellenic
president said that he has "a terrific sense of
humor which makes one feel at ease." Other
sentiments were that he would do a lot for the
University, and pointed out his qualities of
leadership. The general feelings of the student
body were summed up in the statement "He's
a good Joe."
We kr:lm these sentiment!: are still felt
the students, only they are now inadequate.

Why Not Appointments?
They have suggested socialization of almost
erg-ryttung else .. . why not appointments':
During Thursday night's All-University Cabi
net meeting Association of Independent Men
President Lash Howes struck out at the present
system of appointments.
Howes charged that almost all the names ap
pearing on Thursday night's appointment list
were familiar to him. lie also stressed that the
number of independent men receiving appoint
ments was negligible. Howes held the view
point that many lesser known students on cam
pus are just as capable of performing the work
of the vatious committees as the students re
ceiving the appointments.
It is without question that many people re
ceiving Cabinet appointments are active in
other areas and well known on campus. How
ever. Howes' position concerning the number
of people being capable has not 'taken into con
sideration the distinction between being capable
and being qualified.
Virtually anyone on campus is physically and
mentally capable of doing most of the commit
tee work in student government. However, only
a small segment of the student body is quali
field through initiative and knowledge of stu
dent affairs to do the work most efficiently in
the period of time required to do it.
It was pointed out to Howes that relatively
few independent men applied to the Cabinet
Personnel Interviewing Committee for commit
tee positions. He replied that ambition seemed
to be one of the main considerations in applying
for and receiving an appointment. He appeared
to feel that ambition was not a major require
ment and perhaps a more personal type of in
vitation could be issued to students not par-
Rip Down Old Dorms
With the construction of four' dorms and a
cafeteria on the east side of campus, the Uni
versity is obviously expecting to admit a few
thousand more students within the next two
Fears.
But why build new, dorms and fill them with
newcomers when we' have students now living
in dorms that are becoming unfit •to live in and
are smearing the beauty of our campus.
I refer to the Nittanv and Pollock dorms. If
you have ever had the occasion to take visitor's
around campus you have probably heard words
similar to. "What are these? They look like army
barracks•"
Many men complain about how tough it is to
study and even to move around comfortably in
their small "boxed-in" rooms.
Besides these male dorms, we also have Mc-
Allister, Women's Building, and Grange—the
former two in need of repairs and remodeling.
and the latter two representing another prob
lem and inconvenience—the lack of a cafeteria.

sports events than Prexy. His usual seat in the
left balcony of Recreation Hall has been re
ligiously occupied making him part of all Rec
Hall events.
Prexy is also well known for his daily trip
on the cross walk between Old Main and his
mansion. The common attire—a top coat, um
brella, and typical hat, and nearly always—
a pipe.
The way in which Prexy has held up. the
social affairs of his office after the heartbreak
ing death of his wife we feel has warmed the
hearts of the students.
Perhaps Prexy will best be remembered by
students who do not now know him personally
for the- All-Faith Chapel which will be a lasting
symbol to the memory of his wife, Helen, who
was equally intimate with the administration.
faculty. students, townspeople, and a powerful
driving force behind his many fine achieve
ments.
In speaking of his departure from the Uni
versity to go to "Hopkins": as he prefers to call
it, time and again Prexy has stressed that he is
leaving for "personal reasons." These personal
reasons--his• loneliness, broueht about by the
death of his wife; to be near his daughter, now
attending Swarthmore; to be near his son, who
is in New York; and to be near Ike, who is a
short drive away; and that he feels he will be
able to aid in Johns Hopkins' expanding pro
gram—lie behind his departure.
We understand and we wish him well.
And as the door in the President's suite
was open for students for th past six years, we
know it will always be open to him. .
Again we say farewell—to an educator, an
administrator, a diplomat, a gentleman, and
always, a friend.
ticularly prone to apply for committee appoint
ments.
With the tremendous amount of work and the
large number of appointments .involved this
idea is clearly unfeasable.
One of the basic ideas in our system of free
enterprise is that a person can advance himself
to the best of his ability by ambition and work.
Howes has de-emphasized this doctrine and
substituted the idea of spreading the riches of
appointments more equally.
. .
Another Cabinet member questioned the fact
that many of the appointments on the same
committee were of persons active on the same
campus organization. However, the possibility
was overlooked that work in a specific organ
ization can make most of the persons in that
organization more qualified by experience,
knowledge or the structure of the organization
to work on a specific committee.
Cabinet has long been concerned about mak
ing student government more effective by draw
ing more students into activities. This is a laud
able idea and it is to be hoped that more Penn
State students will undertake to actively par
ticipate in student government.
On the other hand, only a certain percent
age of the student body can be expected to take
part. Many students have no inclination or in
terest to take part in student government. Many
students do not have the time to donate to ac
tivities due to difficulties in their academic field.
It would seem that Cabinet should primarily
concern itself that the work to be done gets done
well. There is plenty of work available on this
campus. for anyone willing to work and am
bitious enough to start at the bottom.

Interpreting the News
Suez Road Blocks
Seen As Technical
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Last minute hitches at the London Suez conference, par
ticularly the reactions of France, Pakistan and Japan, seem.
to be largely technical and subject to solution.
The whole business of for
ever, is just a step in establis
nondecisive step at that. Dal'
ing nations carry portents of trou
ble in administration as well as in
principle. The margin of unity
over disunity, if any, is small.
There is doubt that. it is large
enough to represent a n y great
pressure on Egypt's Nasser, al
though reaction in Cairo suggests
a bare possibility of agreement.
Indeed, some Western observers
feel that the Allies have in large
part accepted the most important
points in Nasser's position—that
the canal belongs to Egypt and
she is entitled to a larger share
in its profits. The major point
they have not accepted is that he
is - entitled to unilateral control
without international checks.
The conference's own doubt that
Nasser will settle, however, has
been clearly demonstrated by re
peated references to future pos
sibilities.
There still remains the idea that
Nasser will be faced by users'
convoy demanding transit of the
canal under its own terms, and
the further plan to establish at
least a partial boycott if he re
fuges.
Refusal of transit would be pre
sented to the United Nations as a
breach of an international treaty.
But that treaty was signed when
the Middle East was under Otto-'
man rule, when Egypt was ruled
by puppets of the Europeans and
had little national entity—in an,
era which has little more influ
ence on Mediterranean affairs to
day than does the Trojan war. A
fight over the treat.) , of
.1888 in
the United Nations would find the
big powers opposed openly by
many small nations perhaps in
cluding some of the Latin Amer
icans, and behind the scenes by
many more.
The cost of the cleavage might
far outweigh the objective.
