PAGE COUP Editorial Opinion More Crowded Meals The hopt7N for a return normalcy in the crowded dining halls by the women in Simmons, McElwain and Athertwi Halls were dashed Tuesday when it was official ly announced that Redifer Hall. the dining area for the new residence area, will not be ready for the opening of the spring semester. In addition to the new residence halls already open, Cross, Cooper and Hoyt Halls will be completely occu pied next semester. This means another influx of coeds in the already burdened dining halls in operation. One consolation, however, will be the extension of din ing hours. Robert C. Proffitt, acting director of Food Service, said the period of serving in . Simmons, McElwain and Atherton will be lengthened by as much as 35 minutes in order to reduce the length of cafeteria lines. This period of lengthened service will continue until all dining units are in full operation—which will be no sooner than May. Mealtime in the three dining halls this semester has been something of a battle. Dining hours were not suf ficiently lengthened to accommodate the mobs. And making matters worse was the discourtesy and line hopping of the women students. After Thanksgiving the hostesses in Simmons success fully quelled the near-riots by devising a system which also should be adopted in the other dining halls. After or ganizing the crowd into a double line, they worked in shifts to prevent line-hopping and to maintain order. Patrolling was necessary for only a few days. Soon the women themselves began lining up and enforcing a no-line-hopping policy. Since the confusion will undoubtedly be present in greater quantity next semester, the students as well as hostesses should take steps toward line discipline—such as that done in Simmons. The Schedule Confusion The spring registration schedule is now back the way it should have been in the first place. It was confused accidentally in the scheduling office. It seems that when you're at the bottom, on a Friday afternoon, you work your way slowly to the top. In stead, it was made up so the students craihe bottom went directly to the top. This threw everyone out of line and had quite a few students complaining. The people in Willard for several days couldn't decide just what to do: correct it or not. Correcting it, they rea lized, would probably still inconvenience some persons since they may have made plans to register on the pre viously-announced day. But they felt that this number would be small, and that it was better to go to the trouble and expense of getting the schedule that is fair to every one than to keep the confused one. So if you're now close to the bottom and you were close to the top, you're probably none too happy. And if you're close to the top now and were close to the bot tom, you're probably happy. Some students stayed about the same. But the scheduling office probably did what was right. For although there may be a few inconveniences, the stu dents now have the correct—and fair—schedule.

STATE COLLEGE: PENNSYLVANIA Safety Valve Rodill's Letter Gains Support TO THE EDITOR: It appears to me that Mr. Mill has some very powerful ideas. Our society has placed the dollar above the intel lect. To some degree our capital istic system has plundered and debauched our society. It has done these things 5y rousing the greedy individual to the 'point where the moral consequences of his action are not as important .as the material gain. It must be remembered though. that the greed had al. ready existed, and that our sys tern had only brought it to th e surface. This is a question of The Daily Collegian welcomes letters from its readers on topics of public in terest.

This individual is not a characteristic of our system; he will exist in any economic system, and in doing so. will plunder and debauch the society. If Mr. Rodill sincerely believes. that socialism will do the most good for the most people, well and good, but I disagree with his. using the Soviet Union as an ex-, ample of this progress. Only under the most favorable conditions would the progress of a democratic socialistic society, equal that of a democratic caps-I talistic system. but the fruits of; that progress would be more! evenly distributed under social-I ism. The Soviet progress has been, due, to a large degree, to the utilization of totalitarian meth ods., I would like to comment briefly on the two printed re plies to Mr. Rodill's letter ap pearing in Collegian. The first, by the utilization of "pure log ic,' shows the totalitarian na ture of communism, but does not contribute in any way to the question of socialism versus capitalism. The second says, in effect. "if you don't like it here, you know where you can go." This appears to be an example of the intellectual bankruptcy that characterizes the average college student. I hope Mr. Rodill's letter will help -ekindle the idea that it is as loyal and honorable to disagree as it is to agree. • Gazette Business Administration Graduate Club 7:30 p.m..

His proposal for an East-West non-aggression pact provided the first real challenge to Moscow in ,many months, and apparently it has embarrassed the Kremlin. If it has done nothing else, Macmillan's initiative will make clear to the West a possible ave nue of approach to its cold war problems. The experierice of the Macmil lan proposal is likely to point up the advisability of constantly lbombarding Moscow with pro posal after proposal of the sort the Kremlin cannot reject out of hand without risking some of its 1 1 cherished probation as peace champion. Macmillan Made his proposal last week in an address to the British nation. His action was positive, for a change, instead of the usual negative Western policy of wailing for Soviet propaganda proposals and then simply label them as such. This has left the initiative in the Kremlin's hands over a long period. The Soviet press and radio were quiet about the Macmillan pro posal for days, suggesting a wait ting period was in order, to digest I it and come up with an effective I response. Now the Soviet press has begun to cavil about it. The Soviet Union is seeking a summit meeting of heads of 'gov ernments to thrash out interna,- tional problems on a potent prop aganda platform, but it is not seeking agreements as such.

That would take years, and in that time, such commitments might- tend to hamstring dynamic Communist expansionism. Thus, the Kremlin does not seem to want any such agreement, and it probably will have to find ex cuses for rejecting such approach es. . Moscow propaganda makes perfectly plain just what com munism wants in the immediate future. It wants a guarantee of the status quo in Europe. so that it can center its major at tention on becoming the domi nating influence in Africa and Asia, with the Middle East the first target. Moscow is promising now not 'to export revolution. It has no in • tention of exporting communism to Africa and Asia at this stage of the game. Its primary purpose is Ito expel the United States and jthe West. The Russians have been making significant gains in Africa land Asia recently. An interna tional agreement pegged or iron clad guarantees might cramp the Kremlin's style.
