We Goofed, Confused
Players and Thespians
About the worst mistake any
one can make on this campus is
to confuse Thespians with the
Penn State Players, and vice
versa.
But this newspaper made that
mistake yesterday.

7 at Schwab Auditorium, is being

Pawling Calls
End to Arms,
Dr. Linus Pauling, calling
for international nuclear dis
armament as the only way to
stave off world-wide destruc
tion, said the time is past when
war can benefit a nation.
Morality and national self in
terest are at last on the same side,
he told a near capacity audience
in Schwab Audtiorium. "Moral
ity had been subordinated to pow
er in the past," he said, "but now
nations are forced to be moral."
Nuclear weapons have changed
the world drastically, Pauling
said. Our greatest enemy is no
longer the U.S.S.R., he said, nor
are we theirs; war is our common
enemy and we must unite to win
the battle.
"It is hard to imagine what
nuclear weapons are like," he
said. Next year the United States
could be a radioactive waste.
During the last war about one
person was killed by every ton of
TNT, and explosives had to hit
5-10 spare will be worth ,three
points.
In the basketball competition,
each entrant will have 12 foul
shots with two points for each
basket.
The swimming segment of
the competition will be a 25-
yard freestyle and backstroke.
The top six finishers in each
event will receive points.
Each of the women's events
will be worth a maximum of 24
points. The eight highest scoring
women will qualify themselves
and their partners for the finals.
No point distribution has been
announced for the men's events,
however it will be similar to the
women's scoring. The eight high
' est men in the three events will
qualify themselves and their part
ners in the finals.

their target. Now, he said with
a smile, we can miss by 150 miles
and still kill everyone in the area.
Pauling said there is more to
consider than the tremendous
blast and fire from a bomb.
Among the horrors caused by
radioactive fallout are death from
radiation sickness and gross phys
ical or mental defects in newborn
children. He added that there is
no doubt that even a small amount
of radiation can cause cancer or
leukemia.

By DENNY MALICK
All-University Cabinet will
hear a recommendation to
night to establish a one-year
!compulsory ROTC progi am
possibly expanded to include
citizenship education, civil de
fense and survival training.
The first year would be com
posed of instruction common, if
possible, to all three services and
taught both by military and civ
ilian personnel.

inet's final meeting. Cabinet
will meet again Tuesday to
swear in its successor—SGA
Assembly as its final matter
of business.
The recommendation for revis
ing the ROTC program will be
made by John Bott, chairman of
a Cabinet committee which has
been studying ROTC since the
end of last year.
The study was a continuation
of one made during the 1957-58
school year. After the latter was
completed, Cabinet engaged in
several meetings of hot debate
before defeating a recommenda
tion to make ROTC completely
voluntary.
Although the new plan sug
gests one year of compulsory
ROTC, the committee report is
pointed toward eventually
making it completely volun
tary.
The report contains one recom
mendation that the University
"give serious consideration in the
future to the feasibility of mak
ing the entire ROTC program
voluntary "
In addition to requesting the
one-year compulsory program and
consideration of a completely
voluntary program in the future,
the report recommends:
•That the present advanced
/ ROTC program be expanded to
'include the sophomore year; and
that the Army and Air Force ex
pand their summer programs to
include most of the required tech
nical training and drill.
•That the University support
and encourage all efforts of the
Army and Air Force to establish
scholarship programs similar to
that of the Navy.
®That special skills of military
instructors be used to develop
elective courses and extra-cur
ricular activities which would
promote the objectives of the roil
