THURSDAY, DECEMB Annual Seminar Prof Advocates Sending Student Group to Russia There is no reason why Penn State shouldn’t have a rep resentation of students going to Russia each year as a travel ing seminar, according to Dr. Thomas F.

He will! not get through to the Russian 1 people.” i ; _ From observations made dur- | I ing his last trip to Russia in I September of 1958, Magner said | that the Russian people are ! more informed than they were | before Stalin's death. “The evidence of this is in the increased translations of Ameri can authors and in the flood of visitors beginning in 1955. How ever, the Russian people are still far from well-informed,” he said. The information in their newspa pers is a “jumble of half-truths and half-lies—” just enough facts to lead the reader to believe what the Soviet propagandists have placed before him. For instance, the Russians were informed it was South Korea that attacked North Korea. Currently, they are being told that the Unit ed States is the aggressor in the Chinese situation, he said. Magner suggested a remedy for these misconceptions: "If we feel the Rusian people are not receiving an accurate pic ture of American life, we should send well-informed American ! students to counteract Soviet distortions." “At present 350 students are studying Russian at the Univer sity. Surely from this group we can find a representative number to acquaint Russia’s >oung people -with America and with Penn State,” Magner said. However, Magner strongly warns the cost of the program must not be assumed by the stu dent: “I would hope that scholar ship money would be provided to take care of expenses. Too often in the past we have been represented in other countries by Americans with fat pocketbooks and undernourished mentalities." •Shop Allister Sal. 9-5 THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE.
