Cabinet Makes a Loan We hope that by now it is evident that Cabi net doesn't want to give the five Hungarian students on campus a “gift" of $375. Last week Cabinet made this fact known by ■ narrow 12-11 vote. Perhaps the very closeness of the initial vote prompted All-University secretary-treasurer Leonard Richards to try ■gain to get the loan made, as he says, "un payable." At any rate, he did try again Thursday and after somewhat of a parliamentary quagmire he was refused his request a second time. For a while it looked as if the entire matter might sink into a typical mix-up with “Robert’s Rules of Order” playing the lead role but All-Uni versity President Robert Bahrenburg maneu vered out of difficulty nicely. According to Richards and others, including an "average student,” the bulk of the student body felt strongly that the money should be made into a gift. Both Richards and Joseph Eberly, Chemistry and Physics Council presi dent, mentioned being stopped by irate stu dents during the week and being asked, “Why is Cabinet against the Hungarians?” We certainly hope that Cabinet is not being thought of as some kind of ogre today after twice turning down the opportunity to make a gift to these struggling Hungarians. We believe that there are critain facts which could be brought more clearly in order to get a good understanding of the situation. And we wish we had these facts at the present time. Perhaps one way to do this would be to get the direct opinions from the students them selves to see how they feel about the whole mess. No one has actually given the Hungar ians' opinions on the matter. Dean of Men Frank J. Simes let Cabinet Today Sunday B'NAI tI'RITH HILI.EL FOUNDATION.

ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst First reaction in world capi tals indicates a lack of solid information on which to base an assessment of the latest assignment switches in the Bussian government. One interesting point of specu lation is whether there has been a downgrading of Dmitri Shepi lov, who has been foreign minis ter for a relatively short time, or whether there has been a down grading of the Foreign Ministry itself. The return to prominence of Andrei Gromyko as foreign minister marks achievement of a goal to which his whole poli tical life has been pointed. Whether it means that his old sponsor, V. M. Molotov, and the other remaining Stalinists are re capturing some of their power from the Khrushchev "soft liners” i Physics Prof Tracks Comet Carl A. Bauer, associate profes sor of physics, and members of Alpha Nu, astronomical society, have been tracking a new comet and recording its progress on pho tographic plates taken with a Ross Sky camera on the roof of Buck hout laboratory. The new comet was first noticed by two European astronomers last November. It was named the Arend-Roland for the two discov erers. The comet appears in the south west after sunset. As yet, it can not be seen with the naked eye. It is predicted that the comet will appear at its brightest about -the middle of April. At this time It will be as bright as the brightest star. It still may be difficult to see with the naked eye, because of its proximity to the sun. latlti CnUrgtan 6«m>« U> THE FREE LANCE, eat 18ST Gazette remains unclear.

Perhaps the Hungarians don't want the money as a gift. Does this seem so ridiculous? To too many Americans the idea of refusing a gift—especially a monetary one—would be nothing short of sheer folly and some sort of insanity. Perhaps not so with the Hungarians. They have just fled a land rife with Com munist tyranny and subjugation. No one has any doubts that they are glad to have the op portunity to pursue their studies in a free land where opportunity is practically unlimited. Perhaps they are just as glad to find that the students at Penn State are treating them as equals and are accepting them so completely as to give them money as a loan with the full confidence that they (the Hungarians) will sometime be able to pay it back. It seems that we can vaguely remember one Hungarian, speaking at a rally on campus in the fall, de nounce the Americans for always wanting to give charity instead of some other form of aid. If just may be that they don't want the money as a gift. The substitute motion, presented by AIM President Lash Howes, officially provided that no time be specified for payment. To us, this is the best kind of action which could have been taken. To the sponsors of the original-“gift” motion it seemed that refusal would be a tragedy. The real tragedy of the entire affair was the fact that s37s—we agree, a small sum—should be dragged out on Ihe floor of Cabinet at two meetings when it was to be aid for fellow stu dents in dire distress.

Farm Column State Agriculture In Market Squeeze By RICHARD L. GRAVES HARRISBURG, Feb. 15 (/P)— Pennsylvania agriculture may face a serious competitive squeeze for eastern markets as a result of improved transportation and preservation of out-of-state production. The short-term competitive problem would stem from scientific developments keeping products produced elsewhere in prime shape for markets. The long-term competitive problem may stem from the heavy emphasis on the nation's road system particularly the interstate system of superhigh ways—that will put producers a thousand miles away in direct competition with common wealth producers. The problem of out-of-state competition was underlined this week in a statement by counsel for a group of milk dealers in testimony before the state Milk Control Commission. “With improved roads,” said John B. Martin, counsel for the Philadelphia Milk Dealers Assn., “it is possible to transport out-of state production anywhere in the state.” His testimony touched on ihe price differential between state milk costs regulated by the Milk Control Commission—and non-regulaled producers in sur rounding slates. However, the key point of his testimony was that improved transportation media makes it economical to ship a long distance to compete. The situation has also been cit ed in the poultry industry, where southern states’ production would be brought within easy reach of northern markets via the inter state system. Since poultry and poultry pro ducts can be produced so much more cheaply in the South be cause of climate and labor condi tions, southern producers would be in a position to compete that could seriously threaten north eastern poultry producers. The U.S. Agriculture Depart ment, in a report on the probable impact of the interstate system on farming in the next 13 to 15 years, said the system would tend to: 1. Reduce truck operating costs. 2. Reduce transit time from farm to market, minimizing the effects of unstable market con ditions and deterioration. 3. Open up new and more dis tant markets for truck transpor t ;tion for some segments of the ag ricultural economy. It would appear all three fac tors cited in the USDA report would tend to put pressure on Commonwealth producers. Coupled with transportation de SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 16. 1957 by Bibler /elopments are improving fea .ures of preservation freezing, :old storage and others—that in many cases can minimize or rule out completely deterioration. Marketing experts within the Comonwealth are cognizant of these problems. However, soma observers have suggested that a long-range study of how Pennsyl vania can meet out-of-state com petition for its backyard markets is in order. Men Debaters Will Participate In Annual Meet The men’s debate team left yes terday for Williamsburg, Va., to compete in the annual Marshall- Wythe debate tournament. Two years ago the University won first place in the contest, which is entered by about 40 col leges and universities. Last year it placed second. Topic Given The .topic will be Resolved: That the United States should discontinue direct economic aid to foreign nations. Members of the affirmative team are Jonathan Plaut, senior in industrial engineering from Rockville Center, N.Y., and Ed ward Kievans, senior in electrical engineering from Roaring Spring. Negative Team Given Members of the negative team are Gerald Bogus, sophomore in arts and letters from Browns ville, and Robert W. Adams, jun ior in business administration from Johnstown. Plaut is the only debater who was a member of the 1955 cham pionship team. Both Plaut and Kievans debated in the tourna ment last year. Tonight on WDFM 91.1 MEGACYCLES :50 Siam On .
