Textbooks and Travel University students may have the opportunity in the next Set;• years to spend their Junior year at a European university. This program has been under study for almost a year and w 11 be presented to President Eric A. Walker within a few weeks. The Junior-Year-Abroad plan is nothing new to American colleges and universities although Penn State could be the first of the land-grant institutions to adopt it. Studying abroad is no longer an expensive venture. Every year thousands of American stu dents enter the doors of universities in all parts of the world. According to the report, the expense of sup porting students in another country is almost exactly the same as supporting them at home. - Today in our colleges and universities there is steadily increasing interest in serious study progarms • . . These programs are coordinated with work in American institutions in such a way that they contribute valid credits toward the student's degree from the American college of his choice," the report stated. The two major difficulties in establishing this program are cost and the coordination of credits. Fraternity 'Jumping' TO THE EDITOR: Obviously a person must bd long to a fraternity at this University in order to get advance sale tickets such as those for the Army-Penn State game which went on sale - Monday evening. There must have been a hundred or more loyal but irate fans turned away because of the line jumping tactics of the fraternities. Granted, it's a great system having an un fortunate pledge wait all night holding a position in line which he turns over - to a large number of fraternity brothers in the morning, but it is certainly a far cry from being fair play. It is quite disappointing to those who are waiting in line to see the group at the front of the line increasing by tens and twenties as the minutes roll by. One fraternity brother bragged about the fact that by these tactics all the Pitt game tickets last year were gotten by the fraternities—none by the independents. How wonderful! That says a lot for the fraternities! If some India would wait all night and then let all the independents in front of him in the Morning, there would be much weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth by the fraternity members. How about a little fair play by the fraternities or a system whereby the first come, first served policy is put into effect? VII. The Winner Names the Age (Novelist Lillian Smith today gets to the answer of how we can select a good winner of the age, the winner who wilt name the age.) The answer lies first in leadership; second, in the determined efforts of each individual to take his stand, to speak up, and try to create a climate of courage and hope and faith. With out the second, we cannot have the first. We need leaders. not martyrs. But we cannot have leaders unless the best people stand by the lead ers, unless we give support when support is needed. For fifty years, the South has had no great leader from the white race. Demagogues by The bushel but not one great leader. This. too. is part of the price we have paid for our silence and for our walling ourselves away from the great ideas of our age. We could have had great leaders: there were men in our South with the intelligence. the in tegrity, the vision to become great leaders but we, the people, did not give them our support. We gave that support, every time, to the cheap, foul-mouthed demagogue who appealed not to our reason and conscience but to our anxiety; who begged us to return with him to the past, a past that never actually existed, instead of going on with the rest of mankind into the future. We let down our leaders by not building them up. A leader cannot be built up unless the people, the best people of a region, build him. But it is not too late. We can still do it. The Negro group is searching for and finding its good leaders and is beginning to give these leaders their support. What men some of them are!

Business Manager Safety —Hank Norwood Class of '59 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN STATE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA The initial cost is the greatest. This would include setting up a staff to include a Uni versity director, overseas director, secretaries and offices. The program, if found feasible, would begin on an experimental basis with perhaps 25 stu- dents. In the permanent program there would be at least 100 students. If, in a few years, an extensive program were established. it would do , much to enhance the prestige and reputation of the University. "As leader in the field among land-grant in stitutions, Penn State could expect a growing reputation both in America and in foreign countries, and a corresponding increase of en rollment as the successful operation of the pro gram becomes a reality," according to the report. In addition to the gain by the University, the individual student would have the opportunity for a stimulating and wealthy experience. The report which Dr. .174alker will consider sometime this month is comprehensive and, if anything, should encourage the approval of the program. It has great potentiality. —Judy Harkison Valve Thanks Hatwomen, TO THE EDITOR: I would like to endorse the special praise for hatwomen in Tuesday's Daily Collegian and extend commendation also to 100 or more hatmen, all of whom assisted so ably in student counseling, special events and social ac-, tivities of Orientation Week. While women's and men's hat societies exist essentially to recognize outstanding perform ance in other activities, these organizations and their coordinating agency, the Hat Societies - Council, provided a valuable service to the Uni versity and especially to new students in re turning early to help with the Orientation pro gram this year. —Harold W.

For young Dr. King knows what every leader of stature must learn: that the way is as im portant as the goal we seek. And he has chosen the good way of non-violence, of intelligence, and compassion and good will. A young white leader working shoulder to shoulder with Mar tin Luther King could do much to transform our South; to turn the mob spirit into the civilized Christian spirit that we should have down here, Now: back to you and me. We must go on painting our pictures, yes: for only by search ing for the meaning life has for each one of us can we, ourselves, become human beings fit for a great age. Each of us must keep on search ing for our personal view of this, our only ex perience of life. But we must also combine our efforts to see to it that the great ideas of our age have a chance to be acted out, to become strong enough to win over the irrational evil enemies and errors of our age. Remember we won't do the naming but we will pick the winner. Let's get to work and do it. Shall we? Let's find the new faith, the new compassion, the new under standing, and yes, the new existential doubt, too, that will send us on and give us the strength and the courage to do what needs to be done. Let's commit ourselves, deeply and completely, not to neurotic security but to the survival of man on this earth.
