Eisenhower took a be - kind - to - everybody stance today and turned the other cheek to critics of his budget, highway speed and helicopters. The chief executive was in an amiable mood in telling his news conference he doesn’t believe that "criticism that is honest and fair hurts anyone”—himself included. He said "criticism of public fi gures is a good thing” and that clashes over his legislative pro gram are only natural. Unhurt by Criticism Furthermore, Eisenhower said he doesn’t think criticism has hurt his health. He ignores the per sonal variety, he said, respects the type based on honest differences of opinion and conviction and just goes on trying to do his duty. He did say that sometimes peo ple probably get more heated than is necessary, and he believes that in these times "we-cannot use the governmental processes or limit ourselves to the governmental processes that were applicable m 1890.” Budget Question That was as close as he came to cracking back at Sen. Gold water (R-Ariz.) for calling his 72- billion-dollar budget a “betrayal” of public trust. Eisenhower also said the United States cannot "by any manner of means assume that we are not going to get satisfactory arrange ments” in direct negotiaitons with Egypt for concessions in opera tions of the Suez Canal. Blood Drive Nets 380 Pint Total One hundred ninety-one pints of blood were donated yesterday in the second day of the annual Red Cross blood drive, bringing the total collected to 380, 220 pints short of the 600 pint goal. Theta Chi fraternity with 60 per cent and Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority with 20 per cent of their members donating blood won the trophy cups awarded by Alpha Zeta, sponsoring fraternity. Nittany 21 and McElwain Unit II won the independents award of $lO, donated by the Association of Independent Men. to sell themselves to prospec- tive members. Another important point was the prominence of on-campus houses in the students’ opin ions. No on-campus house ranked below 13th in the “three best” category. The report added that "off campus houses need to be known and lo go prospecting.** Wellington was assisted in the survey by dormitory coun selors, who distributed and col lected tlie forms used. The forms were coded by an IBM machine and Wellington did the analysis and wrote a report on the results. FIVE CENTS
