Them Responsible
Make
One of the recommendations made at Student En
campment to plug a dangerous gap which was discovered
in faculty-student communications last year asked that all
students on Senate committees and sub-committees sub
mit a written report of each meeting to the SGA Rules
Committee.
In this way SGA would be aware of what problems
these committees and sub-committees are working on and
would not be caught off guard as it was last year on the
proposed change in Thanksgiving vacation.
Although the student members of these committees
last year were supposed to be reporting to the SGA presi
dent, it was found that this was not always done and that
some times the students did not even attend the meetings.
Requiring a written report to Rules Committee after
each meeting would eliminate such occurances in the
future
Encanipment's recommendation has been incorporated
in a procedural rule to be presented for the approval of
SGA Assembly tonight. This rule should be approved.
Also on the agenda for Assembly approval tonight
are the appointments of, students to the Senate Sub-Com
mittee on Organization Control. These are the last student
appointments to be made to Senate sub-committees, ac
cording to SGA president Richard Haber, who said stu
dents were assigned to the other sub-committees last
spring.
Thus the stage will be set for SGA to keep abreast Of
the vital I , problerris coming before' these' sub-committees
during the year, if the procedural rule is adopted tonight.
Ifs That Orange Glow
It has happened again!
Last night the Nittany Lion received another coat
of orange paint.
Although guards had been set up. apparently the
defenses were relaxed for a few moments, and that was
just enough to allow the dastardly deed to be perpetrated.
The Lion is the very embodiment of Penn State spirit.
After being painted last year it catalyzed the indignant
student body to displays of spirit that helped lead the team
to a near-upset over the top team in the nation.
Maybe a little more spirit this year can push them
all the way.

Need For
Comp Course
TO THE EDITOR: - I would
like to enlighten Mr. Kalina
and any of his fellow Comp. 1
students who may share a
similar outlook, and give them
a truer perspective of the mat
ter of English themes.
I am sure that the English
faculty, particularly those fac
ulty members who are con
cerned with the English place
ment tests, would agree with
me that a very large percent
age of students, Penn State
students being no exception,
come to college possessing a
rather low level of skill in the
use of the English language.
IS is therefore to be expect
ed that this large percentage of
students receive poor grades on
their initial themes. If this
were true—if they were cap
able of turning out master
pieces—they would not need
to take the course.
I would like to call attention
to the existence of a course
known as English Composition
2, which is - taken instead of
English Composition 1 by those
rare people who know hbow to
spell correctly and write co
herently. In this course, themes
are graded no less rigorously,
yet A's and B's are to be had
for good work.
How can a Comp. 1 student
learn from his mistakes and
profit from them if they are
not pointed out to him? This
is the well-known psychologi
cal principle of negative re
inforcement: if penalized for
his mistakes, the student will
not make them again. This is
the purpose of the • course.
How can a student expect
A's and B's if he mispells words
of fifth•grade level? How can
he expect good grades for a
theme which says nothing and
is full of grammatical errors?
If Mr. Kalina and his anony
mous friend had the command
of the English language which
a college student should have
—even if not that of "a Hem
ingway or a Faulkner"—they
would not be receiving poor
grades.
Reel Tuff Corse
TO THE EDDITER: I wanted
to rite a ansser to that later
by Mr. Kalina. I think Englesh
Comp is real good, It lerns you
a lot, Ever sinse I started
takeing it in 1958, Ive bin
lerning how to git F's. It ain't
near as hard as he sez.

Frosh Gridders
TO THE EDITOR; Why do
freshman football players have
to be so disturbing? Most stu
dents have quite a lot of
studying to do. The library
used to be the quietest place
to do work and it still is until
around 8:00 p.m. when our fu
ture grid heroes come in like
a herd of wild cattle.
From then on the only solu
tion is to use ear plugs and
blinders, or leave. These boys
(they appear to be far from
the state..of manhood) enter
noisily in their gang, and be
gin to amuse themselves by
talking out loud, laughing,
throwing paperwads and notes,
and one even delights in wav
ing a water pistol, his prize
possession.
The remarks they make to
some girls are not at all in
good taste, to put it mildly. In
general, they act like junior
high boys—not even attaining
the level of high school fel
lows. They quiet down only
when Mr. Bruce, the freshman
coach, comes in to talk to them.
It appears that they are re
quired to spend a certain
amount of time in the library
World at
Japanese
Party Head
Murdered
TOKYO (Th The assassin
ation of the Socialist party
chairman, Inejiro Asanurna,
raised fears in this shocked
nation today that ultranation
alist terrorism may again be
come a force in Japanese po
litical life. The anti-American
politician was stabbed to
death yesterday by a fanatical
right-wing student.
The assassin, Otoya Yama
guchi. 17, attacked Asanuma as
he addressed a political meet
ing, stabbing him in the chest
twice with a samurai sword.
As a numa, an outspoken
friend of Red China and mili
tant foe of the U.S.-Japanese
military alliance, died en
route to • a hospital.
The youth, overpowered on
the spot, later told police he
considered the Socialist lead
er a traitor trying to sell out
Japan to the Communists.
The government ordered an
immediate crackdown on sus
pected terrorist organizations
after 10,000 union members
and leftist university students
marched on police headquar
ters and the official residence
of Prime Minister Havato
Ikeda.
About 500 of the marcheri,
hurling rocks at police, tried
to break through the lines of
guards. They were scattered
without any serious violence.
Nixon, Kennedy Defend .
Position on Formosa ►ssue
LOS ANGELES (IP) Vice
President Richard M. Nixon
seemed to be fighting his pres
idential campaign along the
coast of Asia and there are
indications he'll expand his
operations in that part of the
world.
Nixon's advisers are con
vinced the vice president has
hit a mother lode of pure poli
tical silver in the Quemoy and
Matsu issue and that he has
Democratic nominee John P.
Kennedy at a disadvantage.
A source close to Nixon said
he may follow up by trying to
make another hot issue out -of
the recognition of Red China.
The whole sphere of Asian
policy is certain to be thor
oughly explored in tonight's
third Nixon-Kennedy 'televi
sion debate.
It is an issue that has sud
denly' struck fire in an oth
erwise rather automated cam
paign.
THURSDAY. OCTOBER 13. 1960
Remonstrated
each evening. This is a good
idea, but the boys apparently
don't realize the value yet.
Why should serious students
have to suffer because these
juveniles are forced to be pres
ent?
Don't misunderstand us
we're all loyal football fans
and Penn Staters. We'd like to
see these fellows academically
eligible for varsity competition
next year, but they won't make
it unless they learn to use
wisely their time to study,
We hope the bciys will read
this and improve their be
havior as a favor to other
.stu
dents and to themselves. Going
by what we see now, We don't
think most of them have what
it takes to be a mature student
and athlete.
But we're asking in a nice
way and hoping they will prove
us wrong. If no results are
forthcoming won't someone
please put them somewhere by
themselves where they won't
disturb anyone else like a
private nursery!!!!

Bomb Blast
Injures 27
NEW YORK (IP) A holi
day explosion in New York's
busiest subway terminal, be
neath Times Square, injured at
least 27 persons yesterday. It
was caused by a homemade
bomb, the third planted with
in a two-block midtown radius
in II days.
Police Commissioner Ste
phen P. Kennedy withheld for
several hours an official expla
nation of the blast, although
his experts from the beginning
termed it a bomb. He finally
announced an explosive force
apparently • had been - - hidden
behind a do-it-yourself photo
snapshot machine in the .sub
way station.
Even as the pungent, per
vading odor of the explosive
still hung in the labyrinth of
underground subway arcades,
Kennedy ordered a force of
special plainclothesmen into
key areas that might be future
bomb targets.
The explosion went off at
3:25 p.m. a merciful margin
of two hours in advance of the
evening rush.
Congo Heads Threaten
To Break UN Relations
LEOPOLDVILLE, the Con
go (PP) The Congo's young
leaders threatened to break re
lations with the United Na
tions yesterday because the
world body still refuses to
turn over deposed Premier
Patrice Lumumba,
NEW YORK. (EP) Sen
John F. Kennedy said yester
day his stand against basing
the U.S..defense line in the
Far East on Quemoy and Matsu
islands was designed to keep
this country from being sucked
into a war without. "the sup
port of world opinion."
The Democratic presidential
candidate reiterated that the
tiny islands off the Chinese
Communist mainland are re
garded as strategically inde
fensible by the nation's "fin
est military minds."
. Nixon has taken the posi
tion that the islands should be
defended as a matter of prin
ciple, that not an inch of free
world territory should be
yielded to the Communists.
To newsmen who surround
ed him, Kennedy spoke out
briefly and informally but
- promised to elaborate at a
Democratic fund-raising din
ner last night.
