What Happened at Cabinet?
All -Uinversny Cabinet had a golden chance
to make student government Work Tuesday
xiight---and they muffed that chance.
They had a chance to make the antagonists
of student government eat their words. Instead,
the 21 student leader:, did a quick about-face.
In short, Cabinet threw away the privilege of
free expression without intimidation.
Cabinet had passed a recommendation Sept.
20 asking the Univer:ity for a half-holiday for
the Penn-Penn State game last weekend. The
University turned thumbs down on the request,
and many students sent up a cry asking the
body to make some qpe of protest.
It seemed as though the students were going
'to get their wish when, near the end of Thurs
day's meeting Edmond Kramer, Business Ad
ministration Student Council president, obtained
the floor amid an anticipatory hush.
With a grim tone in his voice, and showing a
small semblance of irritation. Kramer said: "I
would hate to see Cabinet adjourn without going
on record as not being in complete accord with
the University's decision on the holiday." Kra
mer was seeking a foi mal protest to the Uni
versity.
Here's where Cabinet dropped the ball.
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes. generally con
ceded as a rather effective speaker with a silver
tongue, told the body it might be making a
"regrettable mistake" lw registering a protest.
It might seriously haMper good student-Univer
Official Welcome for Walker
We'd like to welcom , Dr. Eric A. Walker, who
took over of in ially yesterday as the University's
12th pret,ident. and wish him well in his new job.
It's not going to be an easy task to follOw in
the footsteps of such a nationally known and
beloved figure as Dr. Milton S. Eisenhower. His
job will be doubly hard because of this. He not
only has to perform the duties of his office but
must live up to a reputation.
Perhaps his situation can be compared with
the way entertainers feel when they replace
Arthur Godfrey. It's always harder to take
over a position when the person who has had it
before filled it so adequately. His job is one few
people would like tc tackle. •
We'd like to say here that a better man
couldn't have been chosen. Here is a little of
his background. Get acquainted with him and
judge for yourself.
Walker was born in England but spent most
of his life in the United States. He worked his
way through seven years at Harvard receiving
a bachelor of science degree, a master's degree
in business administration, and his engineering

city relations, Simes added. He then explained
that Cabinet' could not expect to make recom
mendations without having some of. them turned
down.
Although further discussion ensued, it was
evident, following Simes' talk, that Cabinet
would back down. They had been sufficiently
scared.
Al this' point the group looked more like a
henpecked dog with its tail between its legs.
We do not question the right of the University
to axe a Cabinet recommendation.
We do not question the right of Simes to
explain his point of view. (Which probably re
sembles the University point of view.)
But if what Simes said is true,. then we do
question the propriety of censuring a group for
making a protest.
Why can't a group peacefully—and with good
intent—raise a protest when
.it feels there has
been a wrongdoing?
Can the University administration take con
structive criticism'
If so, then why should Cabinet have to fear
that Some rightful action it may take might
hamper student-University relations?
Surely, if Cabinet had issued a tactful pro
.. . .
test, the administration--composed of intelli
gent educators—wouldn't climb on their high
horses and take the pretest as an insult.

Before coming to the University he spent eight

During the war he worked in the Harvard

Architecture.
During his deanship the two-year program
with an associate degree in engineering was de

This record of academic, professional, and

East Seen Doubting
U.S. Foreign Aid
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press Nevis Analyst
Current difficulties with Egypt, Yugoslavia and to some
extent India are indicative of the difficulties of administering
a , foreign aid program based on relationships with individual
nations instead of upon broad.general principles.
The situation feeds evidence to thbse. underdeveloped
nations. especially in Asia, which
have feared all the time that the
United States was more interested
in tying strings to them than in
their development as good, inde
pendent, neighbors and customers.
Now they can see the strings
being pulled. And they are not
too prone to consider the pres
sures under which the United
States is operating or the balances
she w.ishes to maintain.
India has merely been subject-'
ed to much talk while the aid
program continues. But she recog
nizes the constant danger that
public opinion in the United
States may cut it off as she con
tinues to balk at American policy.
Aid to Egypt is slowing down
and considerable work is being
held in abeyance as a corollary
of the Suez dispute.
The United States has been act
ing as a restraining influence on
Britain and France in that dis
pute. In order .to maintain that
role, she has been forced to go
along with them in preparing to
put on heavy economic pressure
if negotiations fail.
To Asia, however, it will merely
appear that the aid program it
self is not altruistic at all.
The fact that Marshal Tito can
not make a trip to Bussia with
out stirring up new agitation over
his already tenuous hold on both
military and economic aid will be
viewed in the same light by the
neutrals
They will not worry about being
illogical in asking the United
States to continue aid to countries
which, either temporarily or per
manently, work against her inter
ests.
They are so intent in creation of
a world in which smaller and
weaker nations can live in com
fort with the strong that the prac
ticalities of diplomacy in the hard
world of the present means little:
Yet it is these very countries,
which need living standards that
will create resistance to commu
nism, at which the aid program'
is aimed.
You will remember that the
Marshall Plan originally was de
vised to help both Communist And
non-Communist countries. Instead
of taking help, the Communists
chose political and economic war
fare.
