PAGE FOUR ditorial 0 • inion Discrimination Fight. Begins , A, quiet fight against discrimination beginning right here in State College and right here in University Park brings hope that this time maybe something more than a brief flash of sentiment has finally taken hold of the' campus and community, and maybe this time the fight will reach the core of the issue—the prevailing attitude toward the discrimination problem. This attitude that has impeded the attainment of true equality in this supposed "land of the free," this attitude that has crippled the effectiveness of the the U. S. to function on many issues in the United Nations, this attitude that has laid the U. S. open to attack by leaders of the newly emerging 'nations of Africa and Asia is . . Housing Up First One of the most pressing problems of discrimination currently facing the com munity and campus is in the field of housing The University in recent years has eliminated all discriminatory practices in the residence halls. No designation of race is called for on any University housing form. No pictures are included with the applications. But discrimination still exists in the attitudes of some of the landlords in the community. And the University maintains an off-campus housing list through which discriminatory-minded landlords can ad vertise the same as others. The University turned down proposals asking that only those landlords subscrib ing to a, non-discrimination policy be car ried in the University list. President Eric A. Walker said that the University could not properly "police" such a policy. The University could not arbitrate between the student and the landlord, who may sub scribe to the policy then turn away Negro or foreign students under other pretenses, nor judge the validity of the claims. It is, to be sure, the people who are discriminating and not the University. And the University has indicated it is unwillin . g to be held responsible in this manner for insuring that discrimination - does not exist through its list.

Hope for action in the community is kindled by the recent meetings of a group of interested 'citizens intent on forming an active investigation committee. Hope for the campus is kindled by indications of stu dent concern through individuals and or ganizations. Demonstrations last spring, though deplored by some, did serve to reawaken both the community and campus to the local manifestations of the problem. The problem has festered into demonstrations at least twice before in the last 12 years. Unfortunately, lasting remedies to the problem did not follow. an evasion or not does not help solve the problem Dr. Walker said he had been consider ing eliminating the list entirely. He added that if we could come to him in a month, indicating that the students would rather have the list eliminated than to exist in its present form, he would get rid of it. This calls for an expression of student opinion. Ways of doing this are through the Letters to the Editor column in this paper, through student government and student organizations. Eliminating this list would also elimi nate a service to students, for many stu dents check this list when searching for downtoivn housing, But, if the University list were elimi nated, why couldn't the Student Govern ment Association maintain a housing list as a service to students? Landlords could call the SGA office just as easily as they do the Dean of Men's office. And SGA could re quire that the landlords subscribe to a non discrimination policy in order to obtain . a listing on the SGA board. Dr. Robert G. Bernreuter, special assistant to the president for student af fairs, has said that the University's criticism of SGA is that it has not been responsible in regulating student conduct and welfare. Would not a housing list be a fine re sponsible way for SGA to look after stu dent welfare?

But do more people re vere President Eisenhower than Prime Minister Nehru of India? I, for one, seriously doubt it. Many consider the material values of the democratic na tions to be out of their reach, and are unfamiliar with the spirtival values, while seeing something attainable in the materialism of communism. The answer among them prob ably is yes, if they could, but— Does the world trust the lead ership of the United States? The trend toward establish ment of a separate neutral force in the United Nations answers no. So does the estab lishment of a hard core of three million neutralists in the Brit ish labor party. Yet there is an obvious tendency to accept the United States above the Soviet Union. No decision yet on that point.
