PAGE POU* Editorial Opinion A Moral Discriminator? The V.’wnen'a Student Government Association is searching fur a means ol granting additional privileges to women v.-ho have signed the Honor Code. Suzanne Smith, president of WSGA said in November that the Honor Code, which now has about 90 signees, would be the first step toward a future revision of WSGA regulations. The revised rules, she said, would differen tiate between those who signed the code and those who didn't. At that time nothing definite was decided about what the additional privileges would be. cast week the matter was tossed around by WSGA but the only specific recom mendation made was that Honor Code women need not sign in and out over weekends. This hastily discarded, however, when WSGA realized that signing in and out was merely a safety measure so that students could be located in case of an emergency. So WSGA referred the problem to a committee for new Ideas. The best and most reasonable idea that the committee could produce, we believe, is to forget about giving the additional privileges. The only possibility of additional “responsibility” would be an extension of hours or special permissions. As we have said before, granting them would be a serious error. They would inevitably be interpreted as reward or bribe for signing the code. By giving extra privileges to those who sign the code, WSGA would be acting as a moral censor. It would dis criminate between those signing the code and those not, and this is only a matter of moral judgment. Many women feel that signing the pledge is not only unnecessary' but also undesirable. Miss Smith said that the Honor Code will lead to a future revision of WSGA regulations. In all probability this would mean extended hours for all women, but it seems that WSGA is waiting tor a substantial number of students to declare their honor before a major change would come about. In all fairness WSGA should neither reward nor dis criminate Honor Code signees with additional privileges. If WSGA really wants to revise regulations in favor of more freedom, it should do so now regardless of the suc cess or failure of the Honor Code. Second-Rate Candidates? Mayor Richardson Dilworth of Philadelphia, probably the best man.jn the Democratic party lor the governorship of Pennsylvania, has decided not to run. This is unfortunate. With Dilworth on the Democratic slate, the election promised to be a good one. The Republicans would have been forced to put up their best man. Pennsylvania could only profit by this. Now it appears the Democrats are split. The Republi cans have been split. And both parties appear likely to put up compromise candidates. So with Pennsylvania in dire need of outstanding leadership, Pennsylvanians may well be choosing between two second-rate candidates this fall.

PENNSYLVANIA Interpretation Nasty Flareup Seen Possible In Middle East Behind the new flare-up be tween Egypt and the Sudan lie the ambitions of Gamal Abdel Nasser and a natural Egyptian- Sudanese rivalry which could build up to a new and nasty situa tion for the plagued Middle East. In Nasser's attempt to enforce Cairo’s sovereignty over a 6000- square-mile area of Sudan there is a suggestion of new politcal pressure against the government at Khartoum, which is pro-West ern in its policies and which dis trusts Egypt and nations of Arab socialism. Bui at the same time, inside Sudan there is a large body of sentiment which goes along with the slogans and aspirations of the sort of pan-Arab nationalism preached by President Nasser. A sudden sharp clash between these two rival groups could bring woe for the government of Premier Abdullah Khalil in Khartoum. Egypt has had designs on Su dan which had been ruled as a B r i t i s h-Egyptian condominium, became an independent republic at- the end of 1955. and it was a land with a bright future. About 3*4 times the size of Texas, this huge, hot land occupies a strate gic position in the heart of East Africa. Unlike Egypt, the Sudan is po tentially wealthy, and the Sudan ese are a sturdier breed than the Egyptians, besides being general ly healthier. In the north they are of Arab stock and of the Mos lem faith. Many feel the pull of pan-Arab nationalism. But there is. a good deal of distrust of Egyptian in tentions. particularly among the dominant Umma party headed by Premier Khalil. The Umma group does not like the pressure from the extremists of the “anti-imperialist front” which includes a couple of wings of the small Communist oarty in (Continued on page five) Gazette American institute of Industrial Engineers and American Fonndrymsn’s Society joint meeting. 7 p.m., 110 EE Academic Year Institnte for High School Teachers of Science, film ’'Principle of Maximum and Minimum.” 3:10 p.m..

From Here Another Senior Ends Silence , : By Ed Dubbs (Note: Ed Dubbs, inspired after reading a review copy of “The Unsilent Generation" (Rinehart, $2.95 in paperback), an anon ymous symposium of 11 college senior’s views on themselves and their world, sat down at his typewritten and pounded out this article to become the 12th senior and the Ist without anonymity.) When, on my 14th birthday, my father dropped me off at a cheap boarding house where I was to live for four years, he took leave of me with these final words: “You are a slob and a son of a slob, and don’t you ever forget that.” How could I ever forget I didn’t like being called of a slob. But I recall that was better than called some thing else. That is the i way I felt a- ! bout such; things. I used ;• to look at the •, bright side of * e v erything.

My early life wasn’t very happy. You see, we lived like slobs. Now don’t misunderstand me. I’m misunderstood enough. So is my generation, the gen eration now leaving college. I mean I love my father, even though he is a slob. He’s still my father. I guess, though. I’m no long er his son. I am no longer a slob. Thanks to Princeton, I am a gentleman.
