Bigger Names and Crowds
Someone made a mistake last week and only 400
students, faculty and townspeople turned out for the third
lecture in the University Lecture Series by Sen. Styles
131 edges
And the fault—the mistake—lay in the choice of the
speaker, Sen. Bridges.
Granted he is an excellent politician, an important
member of the Republican party and heads its Senate
Rules Committee, but he cannot compare with the two
previous speakers in the series.
Schwab Auditorium was filled for both Eleanor
Roosevelt and Clement Attlee. Tickets for the lectures
wet e gone soon after they were made available, proof that
students will turn out for someone they consider important.
In a broader sense the lecture committee is not to
blame. It should schedule speakers who are interesting,
even if they are not world famous.
Yet, the committee owes it to the student body to make
every possible effort to obtain for the series the best
known and most important speakers it can.
One mistake out of three attempts to provide impor
tant speakers is an admirable record, but future mistakes
of the type made last week should be avoided.
Think It Through
After last week's installation and get acquainted
session, the 'Student Government Association Assembly
should be ready to get down to business tonight.
But before getting started, assemblymen must ponder
well their responsibilities and take heed to the frequent
warnings against jumping into new ideas blindfolded.
The Assembly must be quick to realize that any pro
posals sent to the administration will have contain
sound thinking or it will be rejected flatly.
The best way to this end is for all members to back
ground themselves before meetings on any upcoming
issues. Good discussion will result and the best possible
programs will be presented for higher approval.
This Assembly will be setting precedent in almost all
of Its actions. The last Cabinet spent many long hours
establishing the new system to give the students a better
government.
Assemblymen must think over all issues and then act
accordingly.

Interpreting
West Coast
Big 4 Talks
Suggested
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
Every now and then someone
revives the idea of holding the
next summit conference in San
Francisco.
The thought is that a visit to
the birthplace of the United Na
tions just might revive some at
mosphere of amity among the
leaders of the Soviet Union,
France, Britain and the United
States, and that it would be a
good opportunity to show the
country to Soviet Premier Nikita
Kht ushchev.
Some of the memories connect
ed with San Francisco are not,
however, entirely happy ones for
the Soviets, entirely aside from
their contempt for the UN.
Mention of the famous Presidio
as a possible meeting place re
minds that, whereas now it is a
military establishment, it was
once an administrative and prison
center for the Spanish rulers who
took a very dim view of Russian
attempts to penetrate the new
world.
Indeed, the Spaniards paid lit
tle attention to the upper part of
California until the Russians be
gan to explore Alaska and estab
lish themselves as far south as
Fort Smith.
More than one Russian trader
and fishing captain felt the heavy
hand of Spanish justice, and rela
tions with the American colonists
a little later were similarly un
happy.
There was trouble right up to
the time of the Alaska purchase.
although the Russians abandoned
their California base in MC
Quarrels over fishing and seal
ing regulations continued until
the very recent past.
The "no trespassing" signs put
up for the Russians—and indeed
for all other foreigners on the
West Coast•—have continued al
most until this day.
As for showing Khrushchev the
country, trying to impress him
with both the ethical and ma
terial strength of the United
States, it always sounds like a
good idea. The theory is that
more knowledge of the United
States might cool some of his an
tipathy for the American system
and remind him of the dangers
of trying to compete with it.

Little Man on Campus by Dick Ebbw

Was She Blind—
Or Were You?
So you accepted a blind date last weekend and she
wasn't so bad? You might even consider letting you7self
be "fixed up" again some time?
Now that the ordeal is over and you didn't end up
bored or bombed, let's be objective about it. Was she the
blind date—or were you?
We had never thought about
it before a radio entertainer
known to his followers as
"Shep" threw the searchlight
of intellectual clowning on the
old story of "The Blind Date."
Let's suppose it's 6 p.m. Sat
urday, and you're dateless. Re
signed to an evening of philo
sophical pursuit, you settle
down with some new copies
of "Gent" and "Playboy", and
a history book to read when
you get tired of concentrating.
"Whaddayameanyourenotgo
ingout?" your roomate asks in
credulously. "Listen there's this
kid that needs a date, cute kid,
she's really neat, I mean really
neat . •"
Somehow you find yourself
standing in McElwain lobby in
your ivy, ivy
shirt and
white ducks.
You really
look neat, boy.
Don't know
why you both
ered shaving.
After all,
she'll pro b
ably have
stringy hair
and wear
glasses.
But look at ' ISS NEUBARTH
the doll coming down the stairs.
She's Miss Penn State ma
terial. Well, at least Froth Girl
stuff. She's walking your way,
the kid really swings. Wait a
minute—she's your date.
An uneasy thought slowly
penetrates. You're the blind
date. Not her, you! Suddenly
your ivy, ivy shirt has two but
tons instead of three. Your
socks don't even match. Those
ivy, ivy slacks have last year's
buckle, and you Can almost
feel whiskers bristling out on
your chin.
Of course we admit this thing
works both ways. We guarantee
you our lovely coed spent one
hour and a half dressing for
the date she was talked into.
She didn't really want to go
out that night. Well, not with
some guy who obviously
couldn't even got a freshman to
date him.
But she set her hair, polished
her nails and tried on three dif
ferent borrowed dresses any
way. The man has fraternity
brothers, doesn't he? Everyone
knows fraternity men are so
cordial and mannerly they

make sure every guest has a
good time, even if she does
have a "way out" date.
Then she waited for 10 min
utes so she could be a care
fully calculated five minutes
late. After all, she can't let a
mere blind date think a girl
in her position is eager to go
out with him. Let him know
from the start that he's just a
convenient way to get out of
the dorm for the evening,
Did you wonder why she
looked a little uneasy when
you introduced yourself? Why
she nervously ran a comb
through her hair and glanced
In every mirror you passed.
A sociologist might say she
found herself suddenly thrust
into an unfamiliar role. Psych
2 professors could no doubt
find some technical term for
it. All we know is suddenly
she was the blind date. Her
borrowed shoes had last year's
points, and no one else on cam
pus was carrying an umbrella,
although it had rained all
weekend.
Let's face it, this is probably
the one situation in life where
a person is egotistical enough
to think only of his own likes
and dislikes. It never enters
his mind to suspect that a blind
date may not find him the most
irresistible hunk of man to
come her way (and vice versa).
We leave the paradox for
you to ponder. Was she -blind
or was he? But let's face facts.
If both parties open their eyes
to reality, neither one will be
a blind date.
