PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Rushing Apathy—Out The Interfraternity Council Board of Control has acted wisely to curb a side effect of one of its deferred rushing rulings. The board will allow 10 fraternity members of each political party to campaign between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. in men's residence halls. This is a step to eliminate the apathy towards student government which might have re sulted from the "no exceptions" 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. ban on fraternity men in residence halls. Most residence halls occupants are freshmen, who would have been affected by the ban on politicians dur ing a campaign only by not hearing sophomores' resi dence hall speeches supporting a party and its candidates. Relatively few sophomores live in residence halls, it is ti ue. But when elections are decided by as few votes as is often the case in student government, the actual number of sophomores who would not have been able to hear candidates at night is unimportant. It is important that no sophomore will be denied this opportunity. Further, political parties exist before and beyond campaigns. It is important that their officers, whether fraternity or independent, be allowed to organize fresh men before campaigns begin. Only a later study may determine whether is was a wise move to switch from a complete ban on fraternity men in residence halls to the limited 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. ban. But in acting to minimize a bad effect of the ruling on political parties, the IFC Board of Control has taken a step to promote student government and student wel fare. Reds' Childish Threat Russian officials yesterday came out with their latest and most foolish pronouncement on the proposed nuclear testing ban. Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, according to a wire service report, threatened that the Reds might con tinue their tests until they had matched the total number of explosions set off by the United States and Britain combined. Gromyko said further that he meant the total num ber of explosions in all tests—which could mean going back to the spring of 1945 and giving Russia a tremendous backlog of explosions to make up for. The Soviet delega tion to the UN said later, however, that the threat re ferred only to the tests held since March 31. Whichever alternative was intended by the Soviet diplomats, the threat seems both ridiculous and childish. The question of banning further atomic tests is of current Importance because of the possible damage it might eventually cause to humanity—not because one country has dropped behind in the scoring. If the countries involved decide that this possible damage is important enough to cause suspension of the tests, and if the U.S. and Britain agree to stop their nuclear blasts, then such "making up" of lost chances as the Russians propose would not only make the Reds look ridiculous but would also prove that propaganda is their only reason for talking about a nuclear ban.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA FRANK VOJTASEK Business Manager Letters Away Game Cheers Asked TO THE EDITOR: This weekend I saw an appalling lack of team support at the Penn State-Army game. There were no cheerlead ers present to lead the alumni and students (many of whom were present) in the cheers. When a game is a sell-out, as this one was, I find it hard to believe that some provisions have not been made for at least one or two male cheerleaders to ac company the team. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it a gener ally accepted idea that team sup port in the form of cheering is a contributing factor in inspiring the team to victory? Possibly the administration has a valid reason for not sending anyone. An alumnus questioned me about this situation, stating that when he attended Penn State both the Blue Band and the cheer leaders accompanied the team. I would like to know why there were no cheerleaders at the Penn State-Army name. —William Lenhardi, '6O Gazette TODAY AIM, 7 p.m., 203 HUB Alpha Lambda Delta, 8 p.m., 218 HUB American Society of Agricultural Engineers, 7 p.m., 203 HUB Botany Club, noon, 202 Buckhout Christian Fellowship, 12:45 p.m., 218 HUB Dancing Class, 6:30 p.m., HUB ballroom.

Little Man on Campus by Dick Bible/ "Whatsamatter? Ya cut his class again? from here to infinity Kids Get Rich In Paper Strike Newspapers for the most part are a cheap corn modity. But millions of Philadelphians paid as much as 25 cents a copy for a 12-page paper this summer and were mighty glad to do it. For more than nine weeks, labor troubles caused the two major newspapers in the City of Brotherly Love to all but cease publication. The Evening and Sunday Bulletin, with its drivers out on strike, cut publication down, while the Inquirer, also bothered by a drivers' strike and even fur ther hampered by a strike of its newspaper Guild members, cut its circulation to less than 15,000. The demand for the news paper made a recession sum mer a boom for thousands of youths in Philadelphia who flocked to the Bulletin offices —the only place the company sold paper s—to get hold of papers to hawk on the streets. _ Every carrying device imag inable was used by the kids— ranging in age from 6 to 20 —to carry of each edition.

Before he got past the first stop on the return train trip, he had sold all his papers and made a $4 00 profit. Bleary eyed, he got home that night $5O richer. Some kids even used suitcases and duffel bags to carry off the loot. Oddly enough, the strike had a negative effect on juvenile delinquency in Philadelphia for the period it lasted. Police reports showed that the teen age crime rate dropped consid erably as would-be delinquents spent their time on more con structive and profitable activi ties. The teenagers created a min or traffic hazard as they stood at highway intersections as far as 25 miles from the center of Philadelphia to scalp the pa pers to passing motorists. Motorists caused an almost continual traffic jam at the in tersection of 30th and Market streets in Philadelphia as they drove in to pick up their pa pers. Motorists were so anxious to get a copy of the Sunday edi tions that they continued to drive to the building in the wee hours of the morning.
