Let's Save Campus Chest As much as we hate to persistently keep after students to contribute money to everything in sight we must warn them of an impending danger. Campus Chest contributions are going very slowly. This might not seem such a terrible calamity to many students at the present time. But next year they might be crying over the fact that they didn't support a good thing when they had a chance. We admit that this year's goal of 512.000 is a little high and a little too much to expect. Past goals of $5OOO have not even been met. Past Campus Chest drives have not been too success ful. However, this doesn't mean that this year's drive can not change the old story. If students will only realize that they have a good thing in Campus Chest they will do the smart thing and give a donation—if for no other reason than to Ave Campus Chest. If this year's campaign is a failure like those in the past Campus Chest may pass from the Penn State scene like the old Supreme Court. In its place can come complete confusion. Campus Chest is needed if only for the sake of convention and order. The thing is organized —and very well organized, we think. The fail ure of the campaigns can't be attributed to poor organization and a lack of initiative on the part of the Campus Chest committee. The trouble is the students just do not want to cooperate. Before Campus Chest was organized the var ious charities (there are many, and they are all worthy) solicited on their own hook. The stu dents were being hit every other week for money for Cancer Fund, Heart Fund, March of Safety Valve Merry Christmas to All and returning to school; they are so obvious.

As these complaints persisted the idea appeared of consolidating all the many funds into one big drive—thus taking them all in one swoop. .Thus the inception of Campus Chest. ' . Now the existence of the organization is being threatened by lack of interest on the part of the students. This is something which doesn't even take effort. It does take money though, which may be even harder on the average student than getting interested in something. But the fact remains that the students will continue to be touched for the money in the future. These charitable organizations need money to keep functioning and to continue the good work they do. So the choice is—which method will be used to make the touch. The old way may come back. We feel certain that the students would soon tire of this system. We have even heard rumors that the whole thing would be taken care of in a raise in stu dent fees. This is very impractical and very highly improbable. So the meager returns may keep trickling into the Campus Chest people. However, as they trickle in Campus Chest itself trickles out. The early contributions are always very low and in the last few days they pick up to a considerable extent. We hope this is the case this year. If they don't increase sufficiently to warrant keeping Campus Chest we're glad we won't have to face the chaos of the old system next year. New-Type Scholarship TO THE EDITOR: We strongly recommend that a scholarship be given to a refugee Hungarian student. Why not extend this scholarship instead of one to a foreign student interested only in student government? This Hungarian student should certainly have as much to offer this University as we have to offer and perhaps even more. Let's help these people who have shown their desire to be free. —Connie Hindman, Marjorie Ludwig Evelyn Nikitsche, Lucille Smith. Dot Craig. Joyce Heck.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Ana/list One keeps wondering whether Russia or the United Na tions has put most pressure on Egypt to accept the interna tional pOlice force for Suez. If that seems an odd statement, you need only reflect on he demonstration Russia is now making of what happens .nfluence is accepted. to little countries where her For days Russia has been either staging a big bluff or else pre paring the propaganda back ground for intervention in Egypt, with "volunteers." Do you suppose Nasser finally got the point, that if Russia got in she would be just as hard to get out as she is in Hungary? One of the greatest questions now is whether the small, lightly armed token force ordered into Egypt by the UN will forestall the possibility that Russia will still answer the Egyptian "re quest" for volunteer aid. The "volunteer" dodge in Korea was such a patent fabrication that it had little or no effect on the political implications there. Ev erybody knew it was the Red Chinese army, advised and sup plied by Russia, and every one knows that North Korea is still a Communist puppet. Iraq. a member of the Bagh dad pact set up by the Western powers to extend the line of Communist containment, has chosen this time of crisis to re iterate the Arab battle cry, "de stroy Israel." Would Iraq, too, welcome Rus sian "volunteers" if there is a re sumption of war against Israel? Iraq's relations with. Britain and the United States have not been bad. Yet all of the Arab states have been alarmed lest Bri tain and France attempt to re sume their former tight hege mony over the area. But nothing like Hungary has happened in the Middle East since Britain moved into Alex andria in the last century.
