The Green-Grass Grinders (or GGG as they are affectionately known by the boys up in Physical Plant) appear each spring just as regularly as- the first robins and income tax forms. But their coming is heralded much more with the gloom shown by the income tax form than with the cheer brought by the robin—by both University officials and members of Alpha Phi Omega, who tirelessly and thanklessly attempt to reconstruct "beautiful lawns" year after year. Don't be misled. The GGG's are not the sappy looking couples you see strolling aimlessly en chanted over the verdant carpet in front of Old Main. They are organized! They have a system! All true GGG's follow the exact same dirt-brown short-cut path trod down by their predecessors the previous fall. From these paths they will not deviate, nor will they let GRASS grow under their feet. Even such helpful "hints" as signs emblazoned with "I'm not lawn for this world!" or "Give the gay young blades a chance" cannot deter them. But if you think this day to day routine is bad, you should see the GGG's when they really are organized! Every Thursday, just like clockwork, thous ands of them sally forth at appointed hours to Foreign Policy Your Concern? how close is the University student to the United States foreign policy? Is this his prob lem? Or is it the problem of the man elected to represent him in the government? For an most students think about U.S. foreign policy it could be the private business of the Eskimos and of interest to no one else. Actually each student should be vitally concerned about U.S. policy and the relations of the U.S. with each other nation. It directly concerns the men as most of them must still give from two to four years to Uncle Sam in the service. Even if they are veterans or are not subject to the draft they cannot be sure that they have permanently escaped. In case of another world war many of the students would be in grave danger of the draft. This direct and personal reason does not so closely apply to the women, but on the other hand there are indirect relationships between U. S. citizens or prospective citizens and the nation's foreign policy. How can U.S. citizens vote for people to carry Interpreting the News English Save Face; Return Archbishop By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst Great Britain has finally achieved something she has been wanting—a face-saving means of getting Archbishop Makarios back to Cyprus for the resumption of negotiations over the future of the island. The British exiled the archbishop to the Seychelles Is lands in the Indian Ocean a year ago when they discovered that he was the active planner for Cypriot terrorists. Since then the British have drawn up a new proposed consti tution for Cyprus offering it a greater degree of home rule. But leaders of EOKA. the ter rorist movement which has un ion with Greece as its objective, refused to come forward to ne gotiate. None was willing to risk the political onus of com promising with the British on any point. Unlike the Algerian situation, where there are a large number of moderate Arabs and Berbers who would welcome compromise with the French so they could go about their business without interference from the terrorists, the Cypriots of Greek descent are a fiery lot. Very few of them are active terrorists, but they lend a willing cloak of support, making a cleanup extremely difficult. When they could get no one to discuss their new constitu tion. the British realized that they had made a mistake in de. porting Makarios. But they did not know how to get him back without weakening their own position. TO Batty entlrgiatt Soreessor to TIIE FREE LANCE. est- IRV - DAVE RICHAMDS. Business Manager Now pamphlets purporting to be signed by the chief EORA leader have appeared, offering a ceasefire if Makarios is returned. The British aren't sure, how ever, that Makarios still holds the key to peace on Cyprus, or that he will use it if he does. For a long time the terrorist campaign went along, and even increased in ferocity, without him. There is, indeed, no assurance whatever that peace can be ne gotiated. The major factor is that, instead of planning to get out, Britain is actively building up her military installations on the island, includ ing construction of a big naval base, and intends to stay as long as the world situation remains what it is. Another important complica tion is the position of the Turk ish minority among the resi dents. Turkey has promised to fight before she will see them turned over to Greece, and their possible submergence under increased home rule is almost as ticklish a subject. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE• COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA decimate huge stretches of what should be the most beautiful parts of campus. But any be draggled blades 1e f t on Friday morning haven't got a chance. The next week they will again be stomped into the ground—just like clockwork. Of course tnere are practice sessions in this art of decimating dandelions during the week, too. But they are conducted on a much smaller scale, and are relatively ineffective—unless they all happen to be ordered on the same spot. We suspect sometimes that students would really not become quite so vicious in their at tacks on the verdure if they were not so highly organized this way. Sometimes it even appears to us that one part of the staff is working against another part in the earthy war. It would appear that.little will be done about this highly-organized phase of grass-grinding activity. However, concerning the thin brown trails across campus, it has been suggested that the Physical Plant find out where the students want to go and then build concrete sidewalks there. This could lead to only one thing: The perfect "Concrete Campus!" But perhaps with the diligent efforts of Uni versity workmen and Alpha Phi Omega—and even a little conscience-stricken help from the ordinary clod-clobbering student—progress to ward eliminating the Green-Grass Grinder as a campus menace can be made this spring. We hope. out foreign policy to their liking if they are ignorant of the issues? The answer is that they cannot, and unless citizens become aware of international problems their vote means very little at present—when world problems are paramount. • One of the major problems in marriage break ups is money and yet U.S. citizens seem un concerned about how• their tax money is spent. Each person should be interested in and ques ? tion the decisions of the government when it spends money. Only if the people question and stay informed on international issues can the U.S. remain a representative democracy. We hope that the students at the University will read about and take an active interest in international problems. We would welcome the use of this page for the expression of students' views, thus giving us a chance to stimulate stu dents to think about problems on the inter national scene.

The Hollow Leader At the primary elections the face of a man catches our attention. He sits at the table while the children play all about him. One look at his countenance and it's immediately apparent. He's a leader of men; he's a controller of destiny. He is probably "GOD" to at least three or four thousand students. He drinks his coffee at no place but the Corner Room. But this is the big leagues "We can't afford to slow down for those who can't stand the pace."
