FRIDAY, APRIL 25, 1956 THEIR FIRST GAME, AND THEIR MAN.ASER Is 1-10/14E IN 8ED...51CK... Ready or No Co'leg A Fo The Collegian custom of each outgoing editor's" writing a last column is like most traditions. No one is quite sure when it began, but no one wants to ignore it, either. It's a last opportunity for us to philosophize, to reminisce over changes on campus, both past and future, and to wonder if we have contributes to the Uni versity as much as we've taken from it For me, it's a time when I rea lize as never before that although we seniors will soon be graduat ing, Penn State will move along in just the same way that it al ways has. Whatever our accom plishments, our four years here have been pretty transitory. It's the University that is permanent. Not that I'm raising the old hue and cry about : - being just number, another.y face in the crowd.; Penn Staters have more op-,t portunity her e 3 than they may. ever have again , • to be individ- rt uals, to develop as they please. "Think for yourself," a pa rade of professors eight semesters long has been telling me. It takes a while to really understand that, advice. _ Nor 'am I unwilling to step aside to give my job to some one else. After four years as a Collegian staffer. I'm ready to turn in my typewriter. In fact, my memory is already begin ning to dim, and I find myself remembering only the excite ment and glitter, forgetting the many days' of dull, hard work. Having afternoons to 'myself will be a new luxury to become accustomed to. I'm beginning the acclimating process alre a d y. There's the usual noisy group right outside the open windows getting ready to leave for Whip ple's. Guess I'll join them as soon as I'm done with this—l don't have much more to say. Graduation is a peculiar thing. I've waited for it for four years, and now it's suddenly here, whether I want it to be or not. Commencement and everything that will come after it is going to come—and go—whether I'm ready or not . . . Hey, kids! You don't have to wait any longer. I'm ready. -30.

Eberhard Bethge, speaking on the July 20, 1944, plot to assassinate Hitler, yes terday said the problem was not so much to kill Hitler as it was to be prepared to take over the government. Bethge said this was all-impor tant because of the need to con vince the German people they had not been "stabbed in the back" as they believed they were after World War I. Bethge. who visited campus yesterday, was a member of the resistance movement which made numerous and earlier at tempts on the dictator's life. The actual resistance group be came organized as early as 1938. The organization came about when it became evident that Hit ler intended to go to war, Bethge said. The events leading to the at tempt of July 20 began in 1943. Col. Grauff Stauffenberg, a mem ber of the Nazi general staff; was to carry the bomb in a briefcase and place it at Hitler's feet. Provi dence was in the dictator's favor, Bethge said.. All the meetings had been held in an underground bunker, but on that day it was held in a wooden hut. The blast would have been much more ef fective, Bethge believes, in the bunker. Many pv . .;blems faced the re sistance organisation, Bathg• said. The more successful the dictator and his armies were, the harder it would be to con vince the people he was bad for Germany and make the assassi nation appear in the proper light. It was the job of General Oster, second in command of Nazi intel ligence, to gather information for use against Himmler, Goering and other Nazi leaders when the as sassination was successful. The in formation, Bethge said, was ac tually stored in one of the intelli gence service's safes until after the attempt of July 20, when it was discovered.

One One attempt was in 1941 when a bomb in his plan e failed to explode and the second was in 1942 when the dictator arrived a half hour early for a speech and left before the bomb could be planted. Bethge was imprisoned after the 1944 attempt, but his life was spared because 5000 resistance workers already had been killed. Donovan, Fuller Go To Union Conference George L.
