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! If the white group could onirfind a young

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.

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.

leader 20 match the brains and heart, the integ
rity and vision, the courage, the energy, and
the imagination of young Martin Luther King.
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.

In Detroit, an 11-year-old boy

All the school problems aren't

In California, Dr. Robert Elliott
