At Least 14 Reasons
For every three things we can find to complain about
this November 24 there are probably about 14 reasons to
be thankul.
However, just as the figures 14 and 3 evoke different
feelings from Pitt and Penn State rooters, so the reasons
to be thankful will vary from person to person. But a
pause in the midst of tension or turmoil to give thanks is
characteristic of our American way of life.
Some will disagree saying that there exists no
"American way of life," and that our people have no
common cultural heritage because of the diversity of our
backgrounds.
But we prefer to believe that our nation has become
rich through this diversity, rich with -the cultures of
many lands and with the ideas of many people.
Today, most of these differences have been accepted
and fused into the "American way."
Curiously enough, the first Thanksgiving Day was
officially proclaimed when the nation was divided and in
the midst of a civil war.
American was fighting American, yet President
Lincoln found reasons fo be thankful and time tO give
thanks saying in 1863. "The year that is drawing toward
ifs close has been filled with the blessings of fruitful
fields and healthful skies."
Today, our nation is one but our world moves into the
future divided into armed camps with tension rising and
falling like ocean waves on a stormy day.
Our country moves forward on an uncharted course
facing internal problems of integration, overcrowded
schools, unemployment and defense.
Our people move amidst the tension on the national
and international scene and must face their individual
problems and disappointments.
But on November 24, we hope our characteristic
optimism creeps through and each U.S. citizen pauses
to count his reasons to be thankful.
On the Exodus
We hope all Penn Staters leaving the- campus today
and tomorrow will drive carefully. We do not like to come
back from vacation and have to write gruesome accident
stories. There are other ways to get your name in the
paper.

KENT, Ohio More col
leges and universities are in
stituting four-year honors pro
grams for "superior" students,
according to a Kent State Uni
versity faculty study. The sur
vey of honors work at 75 col
leges and universities shows
that nearly half of the insti
tutions have four-year pro
grams.
A trend,- according to the
study, is the increasing reli
ance on course work and inde

program. Course work is used
at 95 per cent of the institu

per cent, acceleration of work
at 18 per cent, while 11 per

Inter
Economic Fireworks
Seen In Bonn Talks
I Soflea ß
5045
BONN, Germany M—This week's economic talks in
Bonn between West Germany and the United States may
produce some spectacular fireworks—about $479 million
worth.
This sum—about two million marks, is included in a
four-billion-m ar k program—
mapped out by the_ Bohn gov
ernment to aid needy nations.
The United States, which has
been pressing prosperous West
Germany to contribute more
money to underdeveloped na
tions, apparently wants the en
tire amount spent next year.
But the West Germans want
to spread the $479 million over
a period of several years, in
formed sources say.
This point is likely to pro
duce stormy sessions at the
talks, which begin today. In
formants said the Bonn gov
ernment looks toward the meet
ings with mixed feelings.
Another point of possible
conflict is the cost of maintain
ing U.S. troops in West Ger
many, the cause of a consider
able drain on the U.S. dollar
and gold reserves. The Ger
mans fear the Americans will
press Bonn for a direct con
tribution toward these costs.
Chancellor Konrad Ade
nauer's government knows that
Washington is looking for a
genuine German foreign aid
contribution.
President Eisenhower has
made it clear he expects the
wealthy West German govern
ment to help stop the outflow
of U.S. gold by picking up
some of the financial burden of
helping area nations.
Heading the talks for the
U.S. side are secretary of , the
Treasury Robert B. Anderson
and Undersecretary of Slate
C. Douglas Dillon.

MONDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1960
the foreign aid program for
1961 but .the exact amount of
money involved has been a
closely guarded secret.
Informants said the total will
vary between $852 and $909
million. Of this amount, Ger
man industry has agreed to
make ' available $360 million.
About $ll9 million would be
raised through the sale of
shares of the state-owned.
Volkswagen company.
The remainder of foreign aid
would come from federal and
state budgets and the use of
U.S. aid counterpart funds.
Informants said it is the $479
man industry has agreed to
wagen money that the govern
ment hopes to spread over sev
eral years. So that the total
amount planned for spending
in 1961 actually is well below
the level Washington appar
ently considers adequate.
The Bonn government has
repeatedly said the center of
the discussions will be foreign
aid. Anderson has said the
talks also will include the cost
of maintaining U.S. troops in
West Germany.
The Adenauer government
does not want to make direct
contributions to subsidize U.S.
troop maintenance costs for
psychological reasons.
Officials said such a contri
bution could awaken bad mem
ories about past occupation
costs. And it also could prompt
other nations with troops sta
tioned here to make similar
demands.
However, some Bonn offi
cials have said West Germany
may be willing to give more
money to the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization as a whole.
