Of !Me
Only when a person is threatened with the loss of a
material symbol of this precious abstract does he begin
to shout, write letters to his congressman or demand that
his newspaper, the guardian of his freedom, launch a
campaign to protect it.
The same person who will issue a "no comment"
statement to the press one day will hurry into that same
newspaper's office the next day to demand that its editors
do something about the parking situation, a law that
threatens his material well-being or m►schieyious children
in his ne►r;hborhood.
Others, not as physically active in their community
interests, will react their papers for the daily weather re
pot is and the serial stories and content themselves with
an occasional letter to the editor when something really
moves them. But once a year, both the active and the
passive newspaper readers will note briefly that the
press is observing National Newspaper Week.
National Newspaper Week begins tomorrow and runs
through Oct. 21, and once again readers who see this an
nouncement might think briefly about Article I of the
Constitution and congratulate themselves on living in a
country where the press is free and keeps them well
informed.
But is the press really free and are its readers well
in foi med 9 The answer, of course, depends on your defini
tion of freedom. The men and women who make up the
press sometimes find it hard to believe that they actually
have the freedom guaranteed by the Constitution.
When they ale turned away from meetings where
matters vital to their readers are being discussed, they
begin to wonder about the meaning of the word if it
actually has meaning or if, like Janus, it is a two-headed
being.
Perhaps it would be a good idea for its readers, as
well, to wonder, and for them to worry. Worry sometimes
leads to action, and what better time for concern and for
action than during National Newspaper Week.
As the National Newspaper Week Clip Sheet of 1959
aptly put it in "Freedom's Textbook" ... "The press, as a
recognized medium for informing the people, should be
given every opportunity to obtain the facts.
"Only after every door closed by a public official has
been opened to the press, shall we have complete freedom
of information. Only so long as this is true can your news
paper effectively serve as freedom's textbook."

Peace Atoms
Aid Exchange
With Soviets
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associeted Press New Analyst
The UntTed States and the So
vlet Union are heading, in the
field, of atomic energy and space
r ,, -earch, for the first real test of
tiselr „bdity to cooperate since
\Vol id War 11.
John A. McConc. chairman of
the U S Atomic Energy Commis
spin, ha, one to the Soviet Un
ion under an exchange agree
nt to inqpect peaceful atomic
ener:v inntallations.
The exchange agreement is
expected to lead to more for
mal and more complete co•
operation in the whole field.
The Soviet representatives in
the United Nations have just
come forward with their first
suggestion in many years which
has been received with prompt
warmth by both the United States
and Britain. It is for an inter
national conference under UN
auspices to arrange for the ex
change of information on outer
space.
For years serious students of
the cold war have considered
step-by-step cooperation to be one
of the requirements for attain
ment of a feeling of mutual trust
looking toward more important
settlements. The search has not
been rewarding.
Even during the International
Geophysical Year exchange of
scientific information ran into
snags whenever any political con
notation arose. Westerners are
still suspicious that will always
be the case.
There is already a great ad
vance in the exchange of gen
eral scientific information, how
ever, especially whenever sci
entists meet as they did at the
Geneva conference on peace
ful uses of atomic energy.
It is the gradual creation of an
atmosphere of cooperation in
which political students are chief
ly interested, however.
The question now is whether
under scientific exchange agree
ments the Russians will cooper
ate in anything except what gives
them the major share of profit.

Ah the British have done it again! They have come
up with an insurance plan for anxious fiances who fear
their wedding plans may be shattered by whirlwind holi

that the man can net $2BOO if
his girl friend cancels the wed

We may have struck upon
something here that would be
perfect for our campus.
MALICK friend th a t
was left behind against the
chance that his girl now at
Penn State might stray away
from his affections.
Let's see, how could we set
up the premiums? The British
plan goes by age groups. The
premiums are highest for
younger girls going to the con
tinent.
Holmes Field
That would be simple, Home
town boys would have to pay
a larger premium if his girl is
a frosh. The rate would drop
for sophomores and juniors.

couples, the policy provides
a safe ,risk. If he still has her
after three years exposure to
campus life, then we can al
most concede to him.
We could also set premiums
based on what promises she
made before leaving home. It
she promised to think of him
always and write every day,
the rate would be lower than
if she said she "might date
once in a while to break the
monotony."
Now to settle the matter of
payment in case she has fel•

Anything connected with
students automatically means
no money, so we couldn't use
that for payment.
Let's see, if boy-at-home
takes one of our higher priced
plans, his repayment could
take the form of a blonde
(Gentlemen prefer blondes ...
that is if she is a real blonde
. . . that is, if he is a real
gentleman).
Well, we can settle that later.
I think I shall expediate and
prepare a bill for Rules Com

plan approved before Nov. G
