Beaver Field Tragedy Students who thrill to the precision marching and martial music so ably provided at football games by the Blue Band were treated a bit roughly Saturday afternoon. They were able to enjoy the marching with out much’ trouble. However, when the band struck up with one of the many fine tunes it performed Saturday, out of the Autumn air came a horrible roaring noise. When the crowd of 25,000 spectators gazed skyward they were greeted with the sight of a helicopter bearing the message that yesterday was the birthday of President Dwight D. Eisen hower. Meanwhile, as the sun-splashed crowd squint ed at the cavorting helicopter the Blue Band whipped through its difficult routines blaring away in vain. Those who soon tired of watching the antics of the helicopter and turned their at tentions back toward the field were dismayed to find that the persistenl pilot was slaying at a low level and drowning out the efforts of James Dunlop's men. The Blue Band routines take a lot of time and practice. This year the band has to practice extra hours because a greater percentage of the members are new students. One night last week the band was practicing as late as 11 o’clock. After all this hard work, undoubtedly the band likes to have a chance to show off its talents and to have these talents appreciated by Which Groups Need The University’s rate of change accelerates each year. How well do some of its student or ganizations keep up with the times? A great number don’t do too well in this phase of their work. Too many students are satisfied to keep going through the same pro cedures. Too many students are satisfied to use the same ideas that were used before. The easy satisfaction makes for a progres sively weaker organization. It represents in creasing incompetence on the part of leaders who accept positions and merely carry on ideas and procedures which have been handed down. These people are cowards who are afraid to face a situation squarely. It is not difficult to take old procedures and improve them slightly. This takes little initiative or thought on the part of the group leader. This also lacks challenge. It would seem that very few' students have the inclination, the time, and the ability to make progress. The responsibility does not fall on one class alone. Progress has been lacking on many fronts for several years. Another problem with this business of change is that when it does come about it is often handled poorly. Those students who wish to make changes and present ideas are sometimes considered radical. Many of their ideas are therefore refused. This often comes from fear of change on the part of the majority oi students. When 'a new idea is accepted and put into action its introduction may be poorly handled. Before action is taken the question should be looked at from all sides. If the' idea is deemed Safety Valve Misbehaving Aircraft TO THE EDITOR: During the halftime of the Holy Cross football game Saturday an incon siderate and ill-timed incident occurred. The event in question was the repeated buzzing of Beaver Field by a helicopter, the noise of which marred the spectator’s enjoy ment of the entertainment by the Blue Band and interrupted the Alma Mater, as well as playing havoc with the radio and television broadcasting of-the half time show. The machine flew at an extremely low alti tude thus presenting a menace to those in the stands. We ask that the weight of student opinion be exerted to the fullest to prevent the recurrence of an event so discourteous, disrespectful, and disconcerting.

However, on the other hand, the birthday of the president is a day which should probably have some recognition accorded to it also. It was a very fine stunt for the Young Republicans Club to arrange for <his eye-catching craft to appear on Saturday. But it certainly was a hor rible mess of arranging. We’ve heard that the original plans were to have the stunt performed after the game. This would have been great. It might also have been all right to have the pilot do his stuff before the game. It would have given the spectators some way of amusing themselves. But unfortunately it happened at the most inopportune time possible and disrupted one of the most pleasing of the football game sidelights. The results of the goof was even more intensi fied. being before a large crpwd of alums in attendance. In the future if any group means to send a helicopter over Beaver Field at a football game it would be very wise to not cut into the Blue Band's routine. We certainly hope Stevenson’s birthday isn’t coming up in the near future. Perhaps the Young Democrats will lake a notion lo do some flying, too. And during halflime at Beaver Field neither Adlai nor Ike can compete with the Blue Band. Progress? good, by the opinions of the group, care should be taken that it is introduced well. Opposition at the beginning may be caused solely because it is a change. When anticipated procedures are being used in an organization it is because of laziness on the part of the group leaders. Not ’only is it more difficult to think up new ideas, it is often the case that a change may involve quite a bit of additional work for the immediate group. This should not scare people away because in the long run changes may save a great deal of time and effort. When student leaders lake charge of a group each one makes certain vows and promises lo the group. They all generally promise to do their best for the organization. How many live up to this promise? To many students these promises seem to be words only. We suggest they -listen to what they say. We suggest they think of the meaning of the words, not just the sound. The leader of every organization at the Uni versity should take stock of his group. He should place it in some perspective to the Uni versity as a whole as well as to the students immediately within the group. Last, and most important, the leader should evaluate the group’s,past and future progress. He should see if its functions meet the present needs of the students concerned and the Uni versity as a whole. This article is not directed at any particular group. If the shoe fils, put if on.

From Here By Ed Dubbs Duff's Voting Record Dubbs* opinions art not necessarily those of this newspaper, the student body, or the University. We welcome correspondence on opinions expressed below. Our backyard Clark-Duf£ race is shaping up as a quite in teresting battle, and a close one at that. Many Democrats are very confident that Joe Clark, former mayor of Philadelphia, will defeat incumbent Sena tor James F. Duff. But most Democrats stick an “if” on the end of that state- ment. That is “if President Eisen hower does not carry Pennsyl vania by many more votes than he did in 1952.” Only die-hard Republicans seem to be confident that Mr. Duff will wini After all, he is a traitor in the eyes of the Old Guard wing of the Grand Old Party. Most observers feel its going: to be close. I do too. | As Senator Duff seeks a second term, it might be wise to look atj his voting record in the 84th Con-; gress. It might surprise some> Democrats, who have been listen ing to Mr. Clark, to find out Mr. Duff has a voting-record. Although this throws out, in my opinion, one of Mr. Clark's campaign attacks, here is how Mr. Duff voted on the eight ma jor issues before the Senate in the 84th Congress: Against the Douglas amend ment on the Reciprocal Trade Bill. It would have strengthened re ciprocal trade. Against the Bridges amendment to cut foreign aid to India in half, from $BO million to $4O million. Against a Ho u s e-approved measure to provide $2O in credit to all taxpayers. This would have counterbalanced the Eisen hower Administration's tax cut which favored big business and persons with yearly incomes over $5OOO. Against the amendment to so cial security legislation which pro vided benefits to “permanently and totally” disabled persons 50 years of age or older. . Against the Natural Gas Bill. Voted in favor of civilian (or private) development of atomic power by opposing a Gore-Holi field bill to provide for construc tion of pilot atomic power plants. Against cutting the number of public housing units from 135,000 units over the next two years to 35.000 units. Voted for private development of the Hells Canyon Dam project. In the opinion of this observer, Mr. Duff voted wisely on three out of -the eight issues. They were against cutting aid to India, against the Natural Gas Bill, and against cutting the number of pub lic housing units. Judging from his voting rec ord, maybe it would have been wise for Mr. Duff lo be absent more often..
