PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Charter Flight Plan Fits College Pocketbook Students and University personnel will be able to travel to and from Europe for almost half the regular cost a SGA Assembly approves a recommendation tonight to charter airline flights this summer. The plan offers charter rates of $285 roundtrip which is about a $250 saving per person over costs of a student' traveling individually. SGA would charter an 88-passenger plane and, in ef fect, the costs would be split among those taking the trip. A slight allowance for advertising expenses and a small profit is included in the overall costs. SGA President Leonard Julius said this profit would probably be put toward expenses, thus lowering the trip's cost even more. Since the charter members would be under no obli gation to take a guided tour once they reach Europe, this plan is ideal for several types of travelers including: •Those who already have taken guided tours through Europe and would like to go back again and be on their •Those who wish to take six week study programs and thus would only want roundtrip transportation. e Those who wish to visit relatives and friends there. •And, of course, cheaper rates for those who wish to take the guided tours. The charter flights give SGA an excellent chance to offer a service to students and University personnel. The Daily Collegian originally planned to sponsor the flights but the plan was killed by Collegian Inc., its publisher, be cause several legal points were not clear. Julius said these stumbling blocks have been cleared away and there would be no risk or cost incurred by SGA. The prospect of six weeks study in Europe could serve as a temporary substitute and a possible stepping stone for the junior year abroad program that has been resting in student government committees for the past several years. But Assembly must act on the charter program while there is still time for the necessary mechanics of setting up the trips. The flights would offer students an excellent educational and entertaining opportunity—and at prices within reach of the college pocketbook.

For four min utes the program went out over the airways in French back wards. Someone forgot to reverse the tape after it was recorded. Wonder what the new signs that the University is erecting along Pollock Rd. and elsewhere will say? Maybe "This walk closed to student pedestrians." We understand that even the disc jockeys at WDFM got Payola affidavits from the Federal Com munications Commission. Wonder if the Music 5 profs got them too. The Collegian seems to be drumming up another All-Ameri can on its sports pages. We can safely say that the present one and the one that's being "groomed" look less like All- American in street clothes than others. The height of optimism: the January grad who sends out his announcements and invitations this week. When the downtown theaters begin scheduling good shows can exams be far behind? That Army advertisement for the WAC's in yesterday's paper was rather timely—especially for coeds who don't plan to make it through this month. For the first time, two final examinations are going to be given in the same room during the up coming finals period. It's bound to happen that someone will walk into a classroom, sit in the wrong section, take a final for another course and never know the differ ence.

TN' Legislators Need Political Maturity By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst A great many Americans have taken pride in recent years over the ability of their political institutions to operate effectively under divided party responsibility. Now they are wondering just how much of this repre sents increasing political ma turity and an ability to unite in the face of national danger, and how much of it will be re placed by cynicism and divis ion during a presidential elec tion year. As Congress meets again, political reporters are almost unanimous in saying that poli tics will take precedence over the objectives of pending legis lation. . Yet there is a widespread feeling in the United States that the nation needs, however Utopian the thought may be, an atmosphere in which its legis lators and officials, elected through a partisan system, would act in nonpartisan fash ion once they are .in office.

Members of the governing body of this organization are appointed by governments. Once appointed, they are ex pected to act not as repre sentatives of the appointing powers but as representatives of Europe, switching their al legiance to international rath er than national interests. In recent years it has become more and more apparent that no national problem in the United States is a purely domestic one. That has meant that the problems of the in dividual states, and their rela tionships with the people who live in them, have become national problems because the entire face of America has be come important in international affairs. The attitude of government toward people, and, how well it works—the attitude of peo ple toward government, and how well they are satisfied— is a part of the choice which America offers the uncom mitted people of the world in the contest between democ racy and communism►. to drive on campus.
