Natural Death or Murder?
Campus Chest, in the words of Ali-University
Pre. d , nt Robe:t Steele. "hay died a natural
death."
By this he means that he has not appointed
a chairman for the fund drive and does not plan
to appoint one. Since there will be no one to
run Campus Chest, it follows there will be no
united drive for chanties on campus this year.
More correct than saying Campus Chest "has
died a natural death" would be to say that the
student body has put the drive on its death bed
and Steele feels that nothing, at present, can
save it.
The student body has done this by failing to
support the drive. Less than half of the $l-a
-student goal was reached last year.
Campus Chest collected less than $6OOO, with
about $5OOO of this being donated to 11 organ
izations. These included the American Cancer
Society, the World University Service, the Penn
State Student Scholarship Fund, the American
Heart Association, and Cerebral Palsy.
All of the groups receiving donations through
111. The Winner Names the Age
an the last installment of novelist Lillian
Smith's June commencement speech at At
lanta University, Miss Smith noted that how
we meet the "new power of world opinion"
will help determine what the winner will
name our age. This' breaking down of walls
between nations, site said, is one of the three
"ordeals" from which the winning attitudes
and technics will come. The third installment
follows.)
Our second ordeal is in everybody's mind:
atomic ener,gy and how to control it. We know
that nuclear power has fabulous possibilities
for good; we know it can become a great crea
tive force in the future, but what troubles peo
ple everywhere is its danger to us right now.
We are anxious and concerned: not only be
cause bombs can bring quick and total destruc
tion in war, but because peacetime _testing of
bombs has already brought unknown damage
to the human race.
We are concerned that radioactive fall-out
causes an increase in cancer in children. We are
concerned that the fall-out has already affected
the genes of a percentage of our young people
everywhere. What percentage? We are not sure.
How many of their children will be defective
and malformed? We do not yet know. But we
want to know.
A few scientists have spoken clearly. We want
more of them to speak. and in more detail. And
we do not want the politicians to brush off their
words. For the scientists are the only men on
earth who know what they are talking about
when they state the facts about radiation and
its effect on the human race.
We are afraid of politicians and atomic com
mittees who try to keep secret the scientists'
warnings. We are afraid of those stubborn men
who continue the testing, in spite of the advice
of some of the world's greatest authorities.
This is where world opinion can play its first
great role in history. It. alone, can compel gov
ernments to use nuclear energy in the right way.
Try It 'More' Often
Many sleepy-eyed upperclassmen on their
way to an early morning class were quite sur
prised yesterday when a freshman, a total
stranger, gave them a big "hello." They soon
discovered that it was not just one freshman
who was in a friendly mood. but all freshmen.
And then the upperclassmen read The Daily
Collegian and discovered that yesterday was an
official "Hello Day." with freshmen required to
greet upperclassmen.
Probably more "hello's" were said on campus
yesterday than in a long time. At a large uni
versity like this some students complain of the
impersonal atmosphere. Somehow a "hello" dis
pels this impersonality, makes you feel• a part
of the University and its student body.
A friendly smile and a "hello" has never hurt
anybody. Rather it puts you into a better mood,
helps you to meet more people and to become
better friends with others.
Why is it necessary to designate one day as a
"Hello Day"? Why not make every day a "Hello
Day"?

Campus Chest are worthy of student support.
But many students did not give at all, and only
a few gave all they could afford.
Without a Campus Chest this year, apparent
ly we're back where we were before the united
giving plan was started on campus. This un
doubtedly means that we will have numerous
small drives conducted by individual charities
instead of a united drive. -
One of the reasons for establishing Campus
Chest was to eliminate all these small drives,
which can be bothersome at times. It was also
felt that through a well-organized united drive
the charities would receive more money than
through individual drives.
But there is little doubt that the organizations
that were members of Campus Chest can fare
no worse alone than they did participating in
the united drive.
We hope that students are hounded for money
and more money by individual drives this year.
Maybe then they will realize how much better
off they were with a Campus Chest.
—The Editor
If it wants to, it can measure its strength against
the atom, and it will win-. But will it? That is
our decision.
Our third ordeal is living in a world with
two and a half billion free people. That is a new
thing: it can be a wonderful thing, a fabulous
time of greatness can come out of it, but it is
also dangerous because free people have power
—more power than a half dozen H-bombs.
They are not likely to blow up the earth with
their power but in their ignorance and inexperi
ence, they may blow up civilization. They can
destroy art and music and poetry and books
and criticism; they can tear up laboratories and
libraries; they can jail scientists and intellec
tuals and artists; they already decide what can
be shown on TV and in the movies; they can
even dynamite churches (as we in the South
well know).
They . can, when out of control, do all these
terrifying things because freedom gives them
strength. A free man with the vote, and with
wages that give him purchasing power, is armed
with some hefty weapons.
This problem of free people and their new and
amazing power does not disturb Communist
countries—not as long as they have a strong
secret police. Dictators keep the people under
control by taking away their freedom, by work
ing them hard, starving them half to death, ter
rorizing them if they protest, and killing them
when necessary.
No, it is the 'democracies that feel this power.
Democracies—and remember, we are trying to
turn the whole world into democracies—cannot
have uncontrolled free people around. They
cannot have this much power on the loose. Con
trols are necessary.
But controls must be democratic, they must
function without taking away the essential civil
liberties of all men. What are the controls that
are valid-and will work?
(This question will be answered in the next
installment.)

Outdoing the Navy
(This letter was received by President Eric
A. Walker.)
After having had the pleasure of attending
the enrollment of the class of '6l at the Uni
versity, I am impelled to express to you and
your able staff my heartfelt appreciation of a
most impressive performance.
During my naval service I have participated
in three tnajor mobilizations. I have never seen
anything to equal the rapidity, smoothness and
pleasant atmosphere prevailing while 1500 be
wildered girls and their harried parents first
became a part of your organization.
If I may single out any for special praise, let
me express my gratitude to the "girls in the
gray hats" and to those responsible for selecting
them.
I doubt that a pleasanter, more courteous, and
more efficient group of young ladies was ever
assembled.
Thanks and congratulations to all hands fOr a
tough job "well done."

The Penn State Bridge Club;
got off to a flying start Monday
evening in the Hetzel Union
Building with nine tables in play.
The winners were David Gold
berg and -Steve Behman, north-,
south, and Thomas Emerick and
Armond Sanders, east-west.
The above hand resulted in
trouble for most north-south
pairs because they landed in
three no-trump contracts. In
that contract east should open
a diamond. Since two hearts
must be lost before north can
establish his nine tricks, the de
fense is good for these plus four
diamonds tricks, a two-trick set.
A. four-heart contract is iron
clad even though the outstanding
trumps break three-one and the'
club king is offside. South can
pave the way for reaching this
contract by responding three
hearts to his partner's one no-.
trump. With a five card suit and
ten high card points, this bid best
describes his . hand. North, because
of his weakness in diamonds is,
pleased to accept the invitation

Several players were turned
