Plenty of Projects
The current voting by January graduates for
the Senior Liars gift, the newly-planned recrea
tion area project. and other projects in the wind
have caused us to think that Seniors must be a
trifle confused when they must decide where
their class gift will go.
This University is constantly growing and as
the enrollment increases new facilities of all
kinds become necessities instead of luxuries.
A common comment to be heard on this topic
is, "You'd think a University of this size would
have a better - than they do." Why the
University of Pittsburgh's twice as big.
That's the whole trouble. The University has
reached large proportions now and is continu
ing to grow by leaps and bounds. One can't
expect everything else to keep up with the
enrollment. Even if there was enough money
to do all that needs to be done, there wouldn't
even be enough time to build these new struc
tures, to buy this new equipment, or to estab
lish the new departments. It all lakes time and
the University is doing its best under a very
difficult set of circumstances to keep pace with
the changing times.
Also, you can't satisfy everyone. Somebody
will always complain. This year, many persons
have been crying loud and long about the need
for expanded Library facilities. Others want:
a swimming pool: a new field.house; new en
gineering buildings; new dormitories; various
improvements for the new Chapel; and any
number of other things.
If you were to ask President Walker or some
other administrative officials about these ad
ditions they would be wholeheartedly in favor
of having them. The fact that we don't get them
as soon as we would like is no reason to sus
pect that these people are trying to keep them
from the University.
However, it takes a great deal of money to
keep the University running at its present pace.
Sometimes even this is difficult. The state
legislature has its financial problems also.
This leaves much of the burden of improve
ment to other sources—many times the students
Panhel Moving in Right Direction
Panhellenic Council made one of the most
important decisions that it will make all year
at its meeting Tuesday night. The decision was
not final, but it will be made final at the next
meeting.
The council decided to retain and improve
the rotation system of officers. The rotation
system has been hotly debated for many years.
The changes in the rotation system which
were informally accepted by the council are
good. The rotation system is weak at best and
the changes will help a great deal to improve
the system.
The council voted informally in favor of a
plan by which a sorority which would have the
presidency of Panhel three years hence pick
about seven sophomores to be screened by a
Panhel board. The board would select three
of these coeds who, at the end of the year, would
compete in a general election of sorority women
tor the vice presidency. The coed who came in
second would be assistant vice president in her
junior year and would be available for presi
dency in her senior year if the coed who had
won the vice presidency were not able to take
'the position.
Under the present system a sorority picks
seevral sophomores and the vice president is
selected by the Panhel screening board. There
is no assistant vice president.
The new plan, if adopted, will be somewhat
more democratic in that the sorority women
will elect, to a limited extent, their own offi

themselves. So, this means that the votes being
currently cast by January graduates cannot be
de-emphasized. It is quite probable that many
of the January grads aren't even taking th
trouble to vote for the class gift. We hope that
this isn't so. Until last year January graduates
weren't given this privilege. June graduates
alone voted on the Senior class gift. Finally after
many years of clamoring January graduates
were given the opportunity to have a vote in
the gift selection.
We have heard some seniors comment on the
voting in puzzled tones recently. Some say they
don't know what to vote for.
If there are some people who don't have any
idea of what they could chose, we have.
As we mentioned, the Library's deficiencies
have been cropping up fairly often this year.
A look at the empty stacks up at the end of
the Mall will tell you that the place just doesn't
have enough books. This is without a doubt a
worthy pro]ect. It is one which lacks The glamor
of some other possible gifts, however, a con
crete monument of some sort would be sure to
show people exactly what the Class-of '57 con
tributed to Penn State. A bunch of books on a
Library wouldn't offer this recognition so
readily. The books would dd more good, how
ever.
Some classes earmark their gifts for special
projects in the hope that succeeding classes will
follow up and a fund will be set up which in a
few years will be able to finance the project.
Another possibility for seniors to keep in
mind is the new recreation area which is plan
ned for Stone Valley. This is also one of these
things which the University needs badly. The
estimated cost of this dam and outside recrea
tion area is $250,000. This year's seniors could
start the ball rolling by donating their gift to
this project.
Wherever this year's gift goes, we hope that
those who worry about the University status
nationally will be patient and realize that it
takes time to make these badly-needed improve
ments.
cers. It is also wise to insure that Panhel have
a president who has been active in Panhel work.
The assistant vice president will have been
educated to Panhel and will be able to take
over, far more effectively than someone else
who would just step into the position.
Although the suggestions will help the pres
ent Panhel rotation system we feel that Panhel
would be better off if it abolished the system
entirely. It could, without allowing one or two
sororities to control Panhel, have the officers
picked from any sorority and elected in a gen
eral election. If one sorority is not allowed to
have the presidency more than once in five
years then no sorority will become the sole
leader of Panhel.
We are pleased to see that Panhel is working
on the improvement of its rotation system. We
hope before it is entirely satisfied with the new
changes it will consider again the possibility of
abolishing the rotation system which we feel
may help the individual sorority but weakens
Panhel as a whole and therefore each member
sorority.

Middle East Crisis
Brings Eden's End
By J. M. ROBERTS
•
Associated Press News Analyst
Seventeen years ago Anthony Eden was the shining
young knight of the free world.
He had defied the appeasement policies of Chamber
lain government in Britain, had been proved right, and had
returned as Winston Churchill's rightLhand man in the
conduct of World War 11.
He looked like a matinee idol.
He was suave. He acted like a
man who would never jump no
matter what political firecracker
went off under his chair.
He was in line to become
prime minister when Britain
still headed a great empire.
When old Mr. John Bull had to
go, the free world was perfectly
satisfied to see Eden pick up the
reins. There was no other man in
Britain in which it had' such
confidence.
But the man in the black hom
burg who looked so suave as for
eign minister was not so suave
inside. His original problems re
volved chiefly around the domes
tic economy, which in post-war
Britain has been enough to floor
most any man, and despite his
expert advisers, he developed
ulcers.
The shining young knight, who
before the age of 40 had begun
a lifelong campaign for such ideas
as the League of Nations and the
United Nations, and for the funda
mental necessity of Anglo-Ameri
can friendship and cooperation,
was pushed to the wall by a series
of British political setbacks in
the Middle East.

France saw it as the begin
ning of her own end in Africa,
where she was already beset by
dwindling power and open re
bellion.
France applied the pressure,
Eden yielded, and the two defied
the wishes of the United States
by invading Egypt.
They failed to oust Nasser of
Egypt, and solidified for him a
position which before the shoot
