PAGE FOUR Editonal Opinion Advisory Board's Job Cabin :t acted wisely last night in opposing the' pro posed constc.utional, amendment which would provide for the election of class vice presidents and treasurers. The purpose of the amendment as proposed by Jack Crosby (C.-Jr.) end Theodore Haller (C.-Sr.) was to relieve some of the executive burden now placed on the class presidents. A treasurer would handle the Senior Class gift funds and the vice president would be the president's official alternate assemblyman. Assembly Majority Leader Walter Darran proposed that the class assemblies elect the two officers and th4reby eliminate the addition of four candidates to the already crowded ballot. It is difficult now to imagine some 40 candidates' pictures on posters and the large cumberson ballots. For years the purpose of the class advisory hoards has been tossed around. Their projects have been limited mainly to the sponsorship of class dances, now that the presidents of two classes are suggesting that the burden of their office is too great to handle. Have they tried placing some of the burden on the usual inoperative advisor y boards? In each class, there surely are enough students who are willing to serve on the boards and devote their time to class projects. The two positions are equivalent to committee posts since most of the actual paper and book keeping work is handled by the Association of Student Activities. The appointment of the vice president ,and treasurer by the advisory boards will serve the purpose of the amendment equally well. Undoubtedly the election of the two officers, along with that of the president, would give the position more prestige. But prestige should not be considered in the consideration of this amendment. More emphasis should be placed on practicability and efficiency of operation to make student government a stronger body. Forget the Queen The Homecoming Queen, supposed symbol of the annual festivities, was completely ignored at the football game Saturday . . afternoon. - Administration officials refused to introduce the queen at the Homecoming game because it would not tie in with the halftime show. Yet the winners of the fraternity and residence ball display contests received recognition via the public address system. If opinion of the queen is so low on the administrative scale that she does not even rate an introduction to the football fans while fraternity and residence hall winners get publicity, then why bother to have such a queen?

PENNSYLVANIA interpreting Krushchev Visit Leaves Country In Speculation By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst There is a great deal of specu- lation these days about whether Nikita Khrushchev sincerely wishes improved relations with the United States when the real questions are why and for how long. But international communism is in somewhat the same position as the racketeer who, having come to a time when illegal practice is no longer profitable, decides to set up in legitimate business with the idea of absorbing competing business which he formerly sought to burgle, If the new project fails to accomplish its purpose, will he return to the use of the strong arm. and how much time will he consider a fair test? After World War 11 the Com munists saw the world's pell mell rush for disarmament and the be ginning, through such things as UNNRA and the Marshall Plan, of what promised to be a great worldwide program of economic - development for submerged and wrecked nations. Responding to this and to a very real desire to protect her self against any possible invasion of 1941, the Soviet Union assumed a belligerent military posture and an aggressive acquisitiveness di, rected against her small neigh bor. The world was forced to turn from peaceul reconstruction and economic development to defense. _ This gave the Communists time to prepare for participation in the race fo r political alignment through economic association of nations which is now under way. ' Now that they think they can compete, they wish to be rid of the military expense through which they bought the time. The question is whether this is a permanent renunciation.
