ing seminar, according to Dr. Thomas F. Magner, professor of
Slavic languages.

traveled extensively in eastern
Europe, stressed that in better
ing understanding between Amer
icans and the Russian masses, “the
basic need is communication.”
“We should send hundreds of'
thousands of students over who'
can speak Russian,” he said. “If!
a student can’t speak Russian, he!
will have contact only with Eng-j
lish-speaking officials. 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."

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA
Council to Hold
Lecture Series
The Business Administration
Student Council last night ap
proved a motion to sponsor a col-!
lege lecture senes designed to
aid freshmen and sophomores in
selecting a major and to acquaint
all students with the different
schools of the college.
The program will be initiated]
next semester, when two profes
sors will lecture. Attendance will
be voluntary, and if the lectures
'are well-received, they will be
continued on a permanent basis.
In other business council de
cided to abandon the idea of a
handbook for business administra
tion students in favor of a letter of
welcome and explanation of coun
j cil functions to be sent to fresh
'men and transfers during the
i summer.
The proposal was tabled until
more is learned about the con
tents of the SGA freshman hand
book.
