Seniors: Necessity Rather Than Luxury .;` The senior class, with $lO,OOO to spend, is shopping for a class gift. When graduating seniors obtain copies of LaVie today, tomorrow and Thursday, they will vote for a gift from a choice of five suggestions: •Collection of book; for the Fred Lewis Pattee library. •Money toward the Stone Valley recreation project. •Furnishings for the Helen Eakin Eisenhower Memorial Chapel. • Photo-copy machines for the library. •Furnishings for the proposed School of Arts Building. The gift will be financed by an accumulation of a 50-cent general damage fee, tacked on to University tuition each semester. At the end of four years, every senior will have about a $4 investment in the gift. The Stone Valley recreation area .has been put into the planning stages this year to provide swimming and recreation facilities for admin istration and faculty members, alumni, and stu dents. The money would be used to help con struct a dam for a lake or build cabini or other facilities. The senior class gift, since it is given by stu dents. should primarily benefit students. A rec reation area would be used only by students, at the most about one month out of the year. Dur ing the summer it would be fuse for faculty members and townspeople, but the class gift should hardly be used for a "resort" for State College. Furnishings for the Chapel could include an altar that could be lowered through the floor in the Chapel or stained glass windows for the meditation Chapel. Gifts for the Chapel are always welcomed, but this is one need that would perhaps draw alumni support before many University pro jects. • The proposed School of the Arts may in the future need and be an excellent recipient of class gifts. Now, however, its realization is dis tant and a gift designation in any form would Safety Valve . . .

A photo-copyrnachine, a self-service machine that would photograph pages of books and magazines, and a collection of books for the library are the two best suggestions for the senior class gift. Since a photo-copy machine would cost only $3OO, both the machine and book collection would be a valuable contribution to what has been termed a "deficient" library. The $lO,OOO class gift could, for example, provide a book collection of "good entertaining reading for undergraduate students in such fields as art, architecture, travel, contemporary literature and theatre," Ralph W. McComb, University librarian said. The texts would include current popular Broadway plays, English translations of books by famous European authors, poetry by Edna St. Vincent Millay; H. L. Mencken or Robert Frost, and biographies of great contemporary artists. The last class gifts to the library were given by the classes of 1932 and 1935. McComb said in December that "if we are going to be the great library we ought to be, the library needs spe- vial help," The library ranks 54th in size out of 107 col leges and universities while the student enroll ment places the University among the 12 largest schools in the nation. Only one and one-half per cent of the Uni versity budget goes to the library—placing the library far• below the national median of almost four per cent allotted to other collegiate lib raries, William L. Werner, professor of American literature, said.. The 'problem. he said, is not that the Univers ity isn't provided with an ample budget, but that "the library is just ignored." The library has been ignored—particularly by student concern and the aid of class gifts. When the class of '57 makes its selection this week, it should think of necessity rather than luxury, and support the library. —The Senior Board "Cram Week" The period just around Easter Is called the mid-semester lull Avid to all but those with rutty minds Will be anything but dull. It's a time of joyous thinking Of what there is around us But when we look it'll change to who And with men-of care, it must. And if this is that lucky and fateful year And we open our eyes to observe There's a radiant smile that's reflecting •A sincereness of melting reserve. For here is a gorgeous creature — That you long to hold so close To know the softness and fragrance And the warmth you 'love the most. And then the lull is over Like a change of wind or weather ' Cause now it is the middle of May; Exams control why and whether. Yes, these are the two suspenseful weeks At the end of a tiring semester. To this is added a parting of paths: How can I manage without her? For here is that time of patience With a quiet prayer for hope That our love is undiminished When the stage has changed its scope. —Rodney Stuart Botany Departmen Given $450 Grant The Stauffer Chemical Corn : 'party has made a $450 contribution to the Botany Research Assistance 'Fund of .the Departnient of Bot !any and Plant Pathology.

Associated Press News Analyst Admiral Arthur Radford, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has put the question whether the United States should be trying for any arms control or disarmament agree ment with Russia at this time. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his "peace ambas- sador," Harold Stassen, have been expressing "cautious optimism" on the possibility of making a be ginning. Stassen says things have begun to look up in just the last month or so. Privately, some experts on Rus sia have been saying Stassen had better watch out lest he get in a frame of mind where agreement is sought merely for the sake of agreement. They remind that there is no let-up in Russia's contest for control of the world—that she - will make and keep only such agreements as will promote that aim. Radford puts it bluntly: ' "We cannot trust thd Russians on this or anything." This brings out into the open, for direct questioning, the entire concept that if small agreements can be made, they may lead to larger settlements. This concept has been behind many American approaches to peace for the last 12 years. It was a corollary of the policy of containment, and of the Ameri can effort to 'keep the door open" for possible changes in the Rus sian attitude. The idea that time, coupled with inside and outside pres sure, would produce such changes has been the West's chief basis of hope. There is a serious question, how ever, whether even partial.agree ments may be safely entered into until democratic changes have ac tually taken place in Russia. The United States, with typical naivete, adopted a naval limita tions agreement with other world powers after World War I. She kept her word. Japan, among others, didn't. • It cannot be proved that the failure to build ships in peace time was crippling to American diplomacy in 1938-39 and '4O, but an argument can be made. Centainly the "empty hands" psychology developed as a result of the naval conference 'played a role in later events. For one thing, it contributed to the Japanese be lief that they could flout Ameri can strength, and so helped pre cipitate war.
