Vacation Extension Many student- h. ve written to concerning the short Chrl: in:a- vacation. Many others have called or spoken to us about the matter. We do not like the situation any better than the students do. We hope some action will be taken to improve the situation_ Those students v. ho wish to help student goveinrnent in its work toward lengthening the vacation should ask their parents to write let ters into All-Lrniversity Cabinet at the Hetzel Union Building. From'all comments heard, there is a great deal of student opinion on the matter. If there is, these students can best help their own cause by asking their parents to write letters. Student government is not of the few, but of the entire student body. In order to make an effective request for a longer vacation the student government repre sentatives must have the backing of the students. We hope they get all the backing they need: We also hope the request is granted and That the vacation is extended.. Operators' Defendant TO THE EDITOR: Approximately two weeks ago Miss Conklin wrote an article criticizing the quality of the service rendered by the Uni versity telephone operators. It is felt by a num ber of conscientious people that something ought to be said in their defense. I am unaware of the source of Miss Conklin's information: however, I have verified the fact that she didn't take the trouble to talk to the telephone supervisor or any of the individual operators. If she had, she probably would have become acquainted with the following information: Quite often the complaint is raised that the terminating the connection. This viewpoint is both naive and unfair. The operator's job is to make connections between two parties. What reason would these women have for cut ting people oft? They are responsible workers who do their best to carry the load imposed upon them by the University students. Up to 10 p.m. some lines have been known to be in use for an hour or more. Here again the operators do their best to respect the privacy of the discussion. However, I wonder if these hour-long, "im portant" conversations aren't just an expression of waning adolescence? Some people who have been cut off might think about this. When an operator has her board fairly well in use it is extremely simple "to make a mis take:* and disconnect the wrong lines. I repeat— this is extremely easy to do. regardless of how much caution is taken. On this point I speak from personal experience. These women are as subject to error as anyone. Another point which I'm sure is not considered is that it is entirely possible to be cut off by the long distance operator or some other inter mediate operator rather than by the University operator. It would be wise and certainly more OUR BRITISH RAGLAN TOPCOAT Correct classic styling. loose handsome cut that has no equal for comfort.

TEE FREE" LANCE apt tett —Sue Conklin Safety THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA DAVE RICHARDS, Business Manager Steps for Stepping What steps will be taken this year toward improving the walks? Winter will soon be here in full force with all the rain and snow that usually accompanies it. We hope that before it arrives something will be done to improve the walks. The sidewalks along Pollock road are par ticularly bad. During the wet season students often wade to class rather than walk. This situ ation should be remedied to some extent. • We do not ask that an overall reconstruction project be carried out; we merely ask that some of the holes and low places in the walks be improved. With the walks the way they are at present students will get wet feet. This is unhealthy for the many students who have colds during the winter months. We hope the physical plant will be able to improve the conditions somewhat. This would be a consideration for the comfort and well being of the students, and would be very ad mirable. We also hope some work will be done to help the situation very soon so - that the winter sea spn will be a drier one for students walking to class. Valve fair to realize that this might be the case rather than immediately assuming that you've been dealt a dirty blow. It might even be a good idea to discuss such an unfortunate incident with the supervisor. . One last important topic needs to be men tioned. That is the type of language some of the operators have had thrown at them. Many of the "boys"—and I use that word for want of a better one—in the dormitories have had no respect whatsoever in the type of language they use. They have not only used disgusting slang but have also "attempted to show their virility" by using abusive vulgarity. This type of behavior is indecent and immoral. These boys not only show their defective character, but they also give a pretty good idea of the type of homes from which they come. If this behavior were limited to the male sex it might be more under standable; however, much of the same issues forth from some of our "ladies" in the women's residence halls. The same brands of indecency and immorality can be attributed to this be havior. To such "people I say—" Wise up and try to act mature: To Miss Conklin I say—" You should get all the information about a topic before you criticize." Gazette INTERLANDIA FOLK DANCE GROUP. 7:30 a.m..

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Every day produces new evidence that the Soviet Union, by using force to crush the Hungarian revolution, has done something from which communism may never completely recover Now Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia has added his voice to the wave of recrimination sweeping through the - various national Communist parties in Europe. He terms the decision to call in Russian troops a "fatal error." And indeed it may be, judging from the chain of resignations by party leaders throughout Europe. The great mass parties of Italy and France are split as they have never bean split be fore. The small parties of other non-Communist countries stand convicted of membership in an organization which, instead of being the friend of the world's workers, is their executioner. Tito, of course, has his own so called Communist party, not a part of international communism. Indeed, all of his words have to be judged against a background of his competition with Russia for ascendancy in the middle Euro pean states. He does testify, however, that he is on the side of the more liberal group in the Kremlin, if the term liberal may be used at all in connection with the Com munists. This group is headed by Khrushchev, while the Stalinists FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 16, 1956 here th' Prof has a sense of humor!' who get Tito's blame for the ac tion in Hungary are headed by Molotov. On one point Tito is contradic tory. He gives the Stalinists credit for being able to move in Hun gary against the wishes of Khrushchev. Yet he says the anti- Stalinists are the stronger ele ment in the Moscow hierarchy, and that the results of the Hun garian fiasco will cause the Stalin ists to reform. From the world standpoint. it was Soviet Russia. not a mere clique. which acted in Hungary. and it is Soviet Russia that stands convicted. Tito says the Kremlin will have to return to the Khrushchev ten net of freedom for other coun tries to approach communism by their own methods:- But he men tions the fact that, prior to the Russian intervention of Nov. 4, the Hungarian revolution was taking on the aspects of a demo cratic, not a so-called Socialist revolution. That's why Russia moved in Hungary as she had not moved in Poland. by Bible
