What spheres of student life and prob lems these councils will deal with is yet to be decided. They may just plan social events for the area. They may handle their area’s discipline and rules violations thus eliminating the need for women’s judicial and on campus tubunal which now exist. They may handle all the cultural, recreational and counseling problems and eliminate the need for WSGA, AIM, WRA and Leonides. They may change the basis for representation on SGA. Unlimited possibilities exist here in a system that could mushroom into a complete reorganization of all student government on campus, Make haste, 0 students and leaders, for the extent to which this system will go into effect next fall must be determined before summer breezes herald the mass exodus next month.

SIAIE COLLEGE PENNSYLVANIA CHESTER LUCIDO Business Manager Letters Hildreth Draws Criticism For Racial Stand TO THE EDITOR: Re- William Hildieth’s letter in the April 26th issue Before you vsnte a letter to a newspaper, Mr Hildieth, why not do research on your subject? This would save you fiom hee-hawing and preset ve at least your dignity Fust, you might have checked the ongin and history of racial discrimination in our country You would not have arrived at your inane conclusion—namely, that originally the diffeienecs between groups caused disci imm ation Thera were, and are, other fac tors present. For instance, why don't you consider the economic factors operating in 18th century America. Do you remember your history? It was for economic rea sons that the differences (between the white and colored races) were allowed to make a difference. You accuse the anti-segrega tionist, and DARE in particular, of “wanting to give eveiyone the same name." etc We want just the opposite 1 We want to main tain the religious, racial, and na tionality differences which have made our country great. But, we want each group to have equal access to the advantages of our country. When vou draw' an analogy be tween discrimination against lower-income brackets and racial discrimination, you show your complete misunderstanding. Have not lower-class immigrants been able to move up the social scale to become members of country clubs? They have been able lo acquire the money and sfaus which make them eligible for these clubs. This has not been so with the Negro race for the opportunity has not been offered. Since you have taken the time to write a letter, you must have a slight intei est in this issue. If you do want to understand the pt-obiem rationally, and not just emotionally, peihaps you will want to read, “The Nature of Preiudice," by Gordon Allport and “Bicker at Princeton,” which appeared in the May ’5B issue of “Commentary.” The book and article refer specifically to the issues you have raised. With a little enlightenment, you may not remain a dolt all your life 1 —Caiherine McGovern, '6l Coleman Defends Weekly Column TO THE EDITOR: Alas, our inno cent letter from Addie Storm in Puerto Rico as published yester day in our weekly column has aroused mass indignation. Dean Lipp informs us that she had calls fiom eight persons protesting said ad on the basis of its potential towards being misconstrued. Well, there is hope for the new generation when only eight out of 15,000 accepted the letter ver batim. Now, of course Addie didn’t compose that missive. But with the world on the brink of oblivion, it is indeed unfortunate that such trivia as our ads should be interpreted so literally. Thus the moralist syndrome. —Bill Coleman Gazette TODAY Artist* Srries, 8:30 p.m , Bus Ed. 3 15 p m . HUB assembly room Cliem-Phys Student Council, 6 30 pm, KD Suite, Cross Hall Chess Club. 7 pm.

Am bassador You Chan Yang an nounced he is submitting his res ignation after nearly nine yeais as Seoul envoy to Washington “because I have made mistakes ” Yang said that under instruc tions from his government, he had wrongly declared in public that the Communists fomented the demonstrations seething in his homeland. U S concern that Koiean Piesi dent Syngman Rhee has not moved adequately to meet popu lar discontent was shown in a State Department statement. “President Rhee seems to rec ognize that the cm lent unrest in Korea stems from various abuses, particulaily the election irregular ities of March 15 and that this un rest is a genuine expression of popular discontent,” the statement said. De Gaulle Visits New York City NEW YORK CP) French President Charles de Gaulle made another of his great triumphal leturns yesterday, this time to New York City. At one point he strode away from his security guard to embrace well wishers in Times Square. Police estimated a million per sons lined lower Broadway to roar a greeting to the austere old war rior. De Gaulle is one of the few men ever to receive a second tick er tape parade tip the historic Manhattan canyon of heroes. “Vive de Gaulle!” rose from tens of thousands of throats as the towering figure of the French leader was borne along the route in President Eisenhower’s bubble topped limousine, brought from Washington for the occasion. After the parade, he bolted his police escort, and shook hands with some of the 2000 spectators. Two Americans Held In Cuba for Murder HAVANA CP) Two Ameri can desperadoes were held incom municado by Cuban officials yes terday while the legal wheels ground out orders for their return to Nassau to face British charges of murder and piracy. The charges against them are killing a charter yacht captain who offered to rescue them from an isolated island in the Bahamas and then fleeing in his boat. Letters Pro-Segregation Stand Hit TO THE EDITOR: Senior Hil dreth has ably demonstrated the rationale of the proponents of segregation—the big lie, subtly concealed in bits of truth, His approach to continued bigotry is cloaked in plausibility but, un fortunately, lacks the strength of any supporting evidence from psychology, philosophy, and the broad base of Jeffersonian democ raev. Hildreth confuses the spirit of individualism with conformity. To imply that greater human rights will increase the danger of having 180 million people lined up for a foot race on the same blue and while team is sheer non sense. The author’s facetious reference to non-promotion of a slow learn er in the elementary school as grounds for picketing displays his lack of acquaintance with the role of that institution in a de mocracy. Any school that uses non-promotion as a panacea for the slow learner ought to be criticized. I would suggest that writer Hildreth evaluate the merits of WEDNESDAY. APRIL 27. 1960 A Glance Japanese Protest New U.S. Treaty TOKYO (,-P) Six thousand radical left-wing university stu dents tried to batter their way ihiough massed police lines into the Pailiament building yesterday in protest against Japan’s new security pact with the United States. Members of the Zengakuren National Students Association were cheered on by black-uni foimed leaders The leaders ex horted the youths to emulate South Korean students who forced President Syngman Rhee to bow to their demands for re forms. But the anti-American Japan ese students tacked both the in spiration and mettle of the pro- American Koreans. Baton-wielding policemen threw back the massed assaults of the chanting, shouting young men and women in a four-hour series of shoving contests punctuated by free-for-alls which left many faces bloodied. At least 30 policemen and more than 100 demonstrators were in jured. Eighteen students, including one of the leaders, were arrested. The riot may be regarded as a trial test for demonstrations the students plan when President Ei senhower visits Japan in June The youths are members of the radical wing of Zengakuren, which was thrown out of the Communist party for its extreme policies. The group has staged repeated protests against the military trea ty, signed in Washington last Jan uary and now uo for ratification by the Japanese Diet Labor, Business To Meet for Ike WASHINGTON (?P) Presi dent Eisenhower asked American business and organized labor yes terday to arrange a series of summit peace conferences to as sure better relations and the na tion’s economic growth. After conferring at the White House with AFL-CIO President George Meany, Eisenhower said tlie government will help get the conference going but then will let the participants negotiate on their own. Eisenhower said he asked Meanv—and will soon ask Presi dent Rudolph Bannow of the Na tional Association of Manufac turers—each to designate three representatives to a conference planning group. This committee would decide the agenda for the conferences, participants to be invited, and other matters. a democracy with the following yardstick: the extent to which every member of a society is able to enjoy n units of basic rights which that society can offer. For example, more and more people throughout the world are attain ing increased agreement upon what they want and do not want. Values are defined. As an illus tration, most people of the world do not want to be hungry: they cherish the value of sufficient nourishment. Every society, de pending upon its growth, is cap able of offering n number of these value units. We can meas ure the strength of our society on the basis of how close to 100 per cent alf our citizens are able to realize these value units. I further suggest to a student of physics that he develop an acquaintance with the writings of people like Horace Kallen and Theodore Brameld before he com pletes his schooling lest he de velop into the lopsided man, who is a real danger to our present day society. —Mario D.
