PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Jobs and the Recession The recession is hitting close to home for many seniors who are finding the going rough in trying to land a job. This especially seems true of the seniors in the Colleges of the Liberal Arts and Business Administration. And quite a few freshmen, sophomores and juniors appear concerned over the possibility of not being able to obtain a summer job. Many of these students depend upon summer income to pay at least part of their college expenses. Numerous economists writing about the first of the Year forecast an upturn in the business slump by this month at the earliest. Spring construction and the usual seasonal upturn, they reasoned, should do much in aiding the country out of this recession. However, there is now doubt of whether this will greatly spur the economy. Apparently the Eisenhower Administration—an ad ministration which has pledged to maintain a balanced budget—is more alarmed over the recession now than it was last fall, although it’s difficult to tell by listening to the President. The President, of course, is well-known for his “chins-up” speeches on almost any subject under the sun. But the Republican administration must be somewhat worried since it has even considered a tax cut. And deficit spending isn't relished by the administration. There is no doubt that a tax cut coupled with in creased government expenditures which, of course, means deficit spending—would do much in aiding the country out of the recession and toward increasing em ployment. The Eisenhower Administration and Federal Reserve Chairman William Martin are more alarmed over long-run inflation than what they believe is a short-term recession. In fact, ths "Fed" has been accused of holding onto its "tight money" policy (which means money is difficult to borrow) too long. In fact, one Democratic columnist has dubbed the current business slump as a "recession-as planned." In other words, a slowdown now would be better than future out-of-hand Inflation. So the Eisenhower Administration is hesitant on granting a tax cut and increasing government expendi tures because it feels these measures may come too late (when the country is already on its way out of the reces sion) and only add flame to the fire of inflation. So the type of policy one favors depends largely on how severe he considers the present recession to be. And how severe the recession actually is seems to be quite debatable. The Eisenhower Administration is waiting “awhile” before it proposes any definite tax cut. This was decided yesterday when the President met with his economic advisers. As if stands now. the country will also have to wait "awhile" before It can say ihe "Fed" was right or wrong In holding onto its "tight money" policy so long and whether the Eisenhower Administration was right or wrong in postponing possible government action. But a lot of good all this waiting will do the seniors looking for jobs during the current slump. If there is something we can suggest, the freshmen, sophomores and juniors alarmed over the possibility of not being able to obtain summer jobs would do well to look into the University’s newly expanded loan program.

Penn State students, and Penn State student funds. If these same students could have witnessed the actions of Mr. Dubbs at the All-University Cabinet meeting last Thursday evening, perhaps they would re-evaluate their opinions. In this instance, the floor was debating the suggestion that the Board of Trustees of Penn State "open" their meetings to the pub lic. As many arguments pro and con the mailer were brought up. Mr. Dubbs stated that the Uni versity is supported by the Penn sylvania tax payers, and there fore, they should have a hand in determining University policy. At this time, Joseph Boehret, All-University secretary-treasurer pointed out that the Daily Col legian enjoys privileges similar to those of the Board. The students of Penn State pay approximately $24,000 in fees each year towards the support of The Daily Col legian, yet the students, as such, have absolutely no control over the editorial policy of The Daily Collegian. The question then arose as to what Mr. Dubbs thought of hav ing the meetings of The Daily Collegian "open” to the public so that they too would be able to help determine policy. Apparently Mr. Dubbs did not think well of this idea. For then, Mr. Dubbs, totally en raged and completely out of or der, shouted accusations at the members of cabinet and at the audience. The sputtering Mr. Dubbs, then threw his hands up, his cigarette down, and proceeded to storm out of the meeting. Of all such incidents which have tak en place, this was indeed among the finest of Mr. Dubbs’ per formances. The question now before the students is this. Are these actions indicative of a mature, respon sible, thinking person—or are they indicative of a well-meaning but incompetent college news paper editor? TO THE EDITOR: After just reading today's (March 7) Col legian I thought I would take time to write you ... to express my opinion of your “free press” policy. I believe you are doing a great job. It is heartening to a student to know that there is an unbiased means by which he can learn of campus activities: On a large cam pus like this an unbiased means of communication between the university and students is es sential. You are doing a great job in the overseeing of the Collegian. Keep up the good work, and as for the motto of the Collegian, I know the University will be better for it Job Interviews Companies interviewing Mar. 27: Air Redaction Co: BS Chem, Chem E, ME, IE Arthar Anderson: BS Aectff Atlantic Refining Co: BS MS in ME.

Simon, '6l Letters Minister Discusses Cultural Values, Expenses in NYC TO THE EDITOR: Much has been written in the Collegian about the ethics of using pub lic funds for private pleasure. Such use reveals blind spots in a person’s conception of management and responsibil ity. However, I would like to question the matter of stand ards at one additional point— where cultural values are de fined. It was pointed out to the two delegates to New York and to the student body that “any person representing the University on an official trip, is expected to travel in a de cent manner (i.e. first class travel by rail or plane). They are expected to eat in respect able restaurants, tip according to accepted scales, stay at bet ter hotels, and at all times present themselves in an ac ceptable manner in reference to personal dress and conduct.” (Thus the $5 meals, $9 for taxi fares, etc.) Perhaps after this, we ought to question our representatives and ourselves first to find out what the standards of re spectability, deceny,' and ac ceptability are. The Gold Stan dard, alas. 'is still pretty current. Will we lose our re spectability by dining in a Horn and Hardart Automat instead of the Ritz Dining Room or by riding the subway or bus in stead of a taxi? ' This being Lenten season, I’m reminded of a Young Man long ago who never traveled in a decent (first-class) man ner, or ate in respectable restaurants, or stayed at better hotels, or dressed according to fashion. He was continually criticized because he didn't as sociate with respectable peo ple. But then he wasn’t an Organization Man . . . One postscript. I feel sorry for all those who return from New York without having walked those wonderful streets. The people crowding by are the most fascinating moving picture in 3-D and technicolor one can find anywhere.
