PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Don't Forget the Fees Member s of the Senior Class Advisory Board are attempting to contact members of all classes to find out how they feel about continuing the senior class gift. This is a correct first step. It is only natural to find out whether most of the student body, or most of those int a ,ampling of the student body, want a gift before planning hov. , to finance one. Two committees of the class advisory board are study ing two different groups of methods of financing future gifts, shiitilit the students indicate they want to continue the II achtton One group of methods concerns raising the funds after students have graduated. The second concerns raising the money while they are still at the University. A number of Universities. use methods in the first group with some success. Usually, an amount is pledged toy the student before he is graduated, and that amount is expected to be paid at the end of a specified time, such as 10, 15 or 25 years after graduation. The second group of methods involves considerably more variety in ways of raising funds. But in discussion by class officers, apparently only one has been empha- That is the method of conducting a fund-raising cam paign of some sort, probably only for senior students. But there are several other ways of raising class gift money while the class is still at the University. These include appropriations from student government funds; revenue from special projects, such as Spring Week, and a special, perpetual senior class gift fee, to be collected along with other University fees. This last alternative, similar to programs which have worked well in the past, is possibly the most feasible of all. It is perhaps the only alternative under which one could predict the amount of money to be raised before it is actually collected. As such it deserves the fullest consideration Where's the Queen? The Homecoming Queen was announced and crowned at last night's Thespians show. Now that the queen has been crowned, let's hope she is not promptly forgotten. The schedule of events for this year's queen is the same as it has been in years past—discouragingly brief. She will appear at the Thespians' performances tonight and tomorrow night, and will receive a trophy at tomor row's Alumni banquet. And . . • that's all. Why can't the queen of the weekend be included in mote of the weekend's events? Certainly the logical place for her to appear is tomorrow's football game, where she could he driven around the stadium at half time. Or couldn't she appear at tonight's pep rally . . . or somehow be included in the judging of the lawn display or the presentation of the winner's trophy? But no . .. plans don't call for her to be featured at any of these events, and our queen will probably be seen by only a few of the student body.

PENNSYLVANIA FRANK VOJTASEK Business Manager Interpreting Capitol Had Trouble Filling Supreme Court By ARTHUR EDSON WASHINGTON (A)—When Jus tice Harold Hitz Burton an nounced that he was retiring from the Supreme Court next Monday, at least 650 judicial ears must have pricked up hopefully at the news. These ears belong to 325 fed eral, judges who undoubtedly said to themselves: "Let's fasten the old seat belt, just in case. This could be it" And countless lawyers, great and small, must have had their faint hopes dashed when Judge Potter Stewart of the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals was named to the high court late Tuesday. For, even though the court has been under fierce attack, here was a chance to sit in while his tory was being made and the pay is $35,000 a year, for life. Well, it wasn't always thus. George Washington had a 'ter rible time getting leading men to serve on the court. John Jay probably is a good example. He was the first chief justice, but he quit, saying he didn't think the court ever would amount to much. The judicial structure had fatal flaws, Jay said, running for the nearest exit. Time and John Marshall, the great chief justice who served for 34 years, changed all that. When Marshall had finished his judicial business, the court was firmly es tablished as a top dog in our fed eral system. Maybe you've wondered how President Eisenhower goes about naming a judge The man who helps him with the picking, Atty. Gen. William Rogers, has an ex planation, while he was deputy attorney general, to a regional meeting of the American Bar As sociation in Denver: 1. The man must be an out standing lawyer and a leader in his community: 2. He should be moderately young and fairly frisky. 3. If the vacancy is in one of the higher courts, judges on low er courts merit special considera tion. 4 Recommendations of the Bar Association carry considerable weight. Rogers didn't add a fifth rea son, possibly because he figured the lawyers had it all figured out for themselves. It isn't essential, but it generally doesn't hurt if the man is a Republican.

Remember the out-dated Malthusian theory that said population tends to multiply faster than its means of subsistence can be made to do, so that poverty is inevitable? It seems that the United Nations has taken a survey of population and the informa tion released could very well make one believe that the Mal thusian theory is for real. The UN report says that 100,000 people are added fo the world's total each day. At this rate, there would be only one square yard of land surface for every man, woman and child at the end of 600 years. The Daily Kansan has sug gested several solutions to the problem at the level of a uni versity campus: • Conversion of parking lots to standing lots (Of course, at Penn State you'd still have trouble getting even a "stand ing permit"). •Use of live ammunition by ROTC classes in conducting field exercises (This might eliminate the question of vol untary ROTC) •Refuse out-of-state students (This would have eliminated me). *Movement of classes to Beaver Field (There wouldn't be any room for football games anyway). But harken, here is some consolation. The UN adds to the report that "it goes with out saying that this can never take place; something will happen to prevent it." Just what this "something" is the report does not say but we believe the organization is looking forward to space travel.

Air Force Project Hinges on Balloon ALAMOGORDO, N.M. (IP)— The future of the Air Force's project to send manned bal loons to the stratosphere may hinge on a shortened flight just completed. An Air Force spokesman said Thursday it is "certainly too early to say'? what tests are planned next in the man high project. But the questions answered by Lt. Clifton McClure Wednesday during a 12-hour, 99,600-foot flight are expected to provide clues "on hundreds of questions that must be an swered before man ventures further into space," the Air Force said.
