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

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."

Reds Said Hurting
Communism Itself
By J. 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

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.
