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.

Red Switch Puzzles World
By J. M. 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.

know in no uncertain terms that he felt denial
of Richards’ motion would be a very poor ges
ture of friendship.
With this we don't strictly agree. 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.

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

.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.
