Students seldom hear of any of the details of items under consideration until final action is taken and those items are in effect. Example parking egu imams' The Collegian stands by the student body much like professional newspapers across the nation are doing today in a quest for the public's "right to know." But repeatedly Collegian reporters get the same solid door slammed in their face. Withholding of facts will mei ely prompt the spread of rumors which in most cases are more damaging than the truth released immediately. Example: news of the Liberty Bowl action' This secrecy bleeds poor relations between students and the admmibtration. One of the main reasons some have little faith in what student government can accomplish is that it appears that the student opinion is not seriously considered by the ad ministration. What little voice students have in Uni versity Senate proceedings is merely membership of one or two students on Senate committees—and these have no vote on committee action. Student comments and criticism could prevent many ridiculous rulings that have been made. But how can stu dents comment when the door is kept tightly closed. One glaring example of the value of student opinion appeared with the new parking regulations. At first, the regulations stated that no students could drive on campus at any time. When confronted with the argument that this meant students could not drive on campus to pick up a date Saturday nights, one official said: "We hadn't even thought of that." It's about time somebody starts thinking . . . foi students have a "right to know."

Preparing to Give Economic Aid By 3. M. Roberts Associated Press News Analyst The United States, while insisting that Europe in crease its aid to the under developed countries, is pre paring to do the same thing herself. In the beginning the idea was that the United States must have help in cutting her foreign commitments, along with the lifting of European restrictions against dollar pur chases, in order to reduce the outflow of her gold. Since Then some things have GEORGE McTURK Business Manager '' , 4 - # , ;') ,,, i been learned about the Soviet Unions foreign economic pro. gram which convinced many American experts that eco nomic aid must be increased even beyond any contribution the Europeans may make. India, especially, needs more help in her economic develop ment program, and even be fore now she has turned to Moscow when aid was not im mediately available from the West. A White House study com mittee was reporting at the same time that changing con ditions demanding an increase in American arms shipments to NATO members. All told, the foreign aid plan. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Campus Beat Liberty Bowl; Do We Detect Political Odor? Hello again, stuckilts: How is your case of "bowl level"' With ail the reports about our accepting a bowl bid, the old story about the right hand not knowing xvirit the left is doing is ceitainiy true Thanks a heck of a lot, Gov ernor Lawrence. for playing poli tic-, with the Liberty Bowl. It seems that fellow Democrat Dick Dilworth, Philadelphia's mayor, campaigned on a plank to make Philadelphia one of the "sports capitals of the nation." Nothing like helping him out. Maybe if the Lions make the trip to Philly for the Liberty Bowl, Davy might slip a few ex tra million in our appropriation stockings for being "good little boys." The girls in Thompson Hall have a couple of new signs up over their phones: "The great Pumpkin says Shhhhhhl" and "Richie Lucas likes guts with quiet voices '• Campus sounds like a shooting range since they started to dis mantle Beaver Field . . . either a ',hooting range or a woods load ed down with woodpeckers, Don't the Campus Coos look dapper with their new "Cossack caps?" The caps almost bring out the cops' true personality. Elections Committee agreed to pay for the lunches of its commit tee members woo missed regular meals in the "line of duty." One of the committee members had lunch at the Skellar. Collegian staffers are so hepped up to play in the "Blood Bowl" today, that four of them left at 5 this morning for the Steel City. We wonder what happened to the co-clique chairman of one of the political parties' Seems the camnaign has been run—at least on the surface—by one of the par ty underlings. The Corner Room can't seem to make up its mind on its price of tossed salad. Seems the price keeps going up. We can't figure whether it's the lettuce or the roguef ort dressing that's getting more expensive.

Europe seems to be coming along nicely in meeting U.S. demands for help. Britain and France already have lifted some of their trade restrictions. There is a movement under way, led by Paul-Henri Spaak, secretary-general, to have NATO undertake the economic aid program instead of leaving it to individual nations.

AWF 131 T 4ARSNY Letters Jazz President Hits Selection Of 'Who's Who' TO THE EDITOR: According to the front-page article in yester day's Collegian, 36 seniors have found favor with the committee that selects outstanding students to represent the University in "Who's Who Among Students in American Universities and Col leges." I wonder what this honor be stowed on these deserving stu dents is based on? A few names are self-evident— Richie Lucas and Pat Botula. I guess the others are "seen more" around the Student Activities Of fice in the HUB. It is interesting to note that af ter the list was trimmed by the committee of George Donovan, Bill Fuller, and student repre sentatives, Nancy Clark, Larry Byers, and Leonard Julius, to 36 out of the whole senior class, the names of Nancy Clark and Larry Byers appeared in the top group of the magic circle—a just reward for a job well done in selecting 34 others that matched their cal ibre. —Pete Duncan, '6O Jazz Club President (Editor's Note: The names as they appear in the article are arranged in the alphabetical order of the counties in which their home town is located. Mr. Byers comes from Adams County, and Miss Clark from Chester County. Hence. the reason for their names being on or near the top of the list.) —Monet nickel-copper alloy, a forerunner of today's "Alloy Age," was one of the earliest al loys to be generally accepted for corrosion - resistant applications and has been in commercial use for over 50 years 11=1163 SURE, i ' \ THINK D 066 SHOULD BE TREATED } KINDLY,,, SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1959 tIC:3I. W-35" Student Asks More Papers Be Distributed TO THE EDITOR: In my esti mation The Daily Collegian 13 a very well written newspaper. (The Editor's Note will prob ably read, "we agree.") It of fers a relatively complete but limited coverage of world, na tional, state and campus news. However, I think there is one section of the paper that is a waste of valuable space. Space that could be used for addi tional campus or other news. I am referring to the "Let• ters" column. True, here in America we enjoy the freedom of speech to voice our opinions. Here at Penn State though, public opinion seems to have little effect on existing condi tions. One condition foremost in my mind is that of the lack of sufficient circulation of The Daily Collegian. Recently a let ter appeared in the "Letters" column to this effect. Appal.• ently nothing has been done about it yet, as it is still impos sible to get a copy after 7:30 a.m. in Warnock Hall or 8:30 a.m. at the Helsel Union desk. I really enjoy reading the Collegian when I am fortunate enough to see one. I hope something will soon be done to increase the good fortune of myself and others who enjoy the publication —Ed Seifert, '63 (Editor's Note: Yes, we do agree and thank you. We are planning to increase our circu lation to 7000 papers daily but before we do, we must have the consent of our publisher, Collegian Incorporated, W hope that this can be accom plished very soon as we recog nize the need for more papers to meet the increasing number of students on catms_____s.)
