PAGE FOUR Editorial 0 a inio Painless Protection For Pocketbook The fears of all students who live on campus were temporarily allayed yesterday when the administration announced that room and board fees will not be raised for the spring semester. • It is significant to note that in spite of the climb in the cost of living, room and board fees have not gone up in the last three years. That the Housing and Food Service departments could operate with the same rate of income is certainly commendable. According to yesterday's announcement the Housing and Food' Service departments are currently running a deficit. But the encouraging note was that "with student cooperation" officials were certain they could erase this deficit without increasing the fees. And this note is a key one—"with student coopera- tion." Conservation of utilities, care in the use of residence hall furnishings and elimination of wasteful and incon siderate habits by students can help the Uni:•ersity realize this goal of eliminating the deficit and continuning to operate without a fee increase. Ii is of course difficult to measure in dollars and cents the amount of waste caused by students' unthinking actions. But according to Albert E. Diem, vice president for business administration, a considerable savings could be realized, even just in the areas of heat, light, water and replacement of furnishings. He was quick to add that the problem of utility waste is not as bad as it has sometimes been in the past. But conservation must be a continuing effort to which each individual student must contribute by his daily consideration and care and the formulation of proper attitudes and habits. It is really a painless way for the student to protect the size of his pocketbook.

PENNSYLVANIA 15.00 per year CHESTER LUCID° Business Manager Letters Vacation Changes Proposed TO THE EDITOR: We would like to propose a change in the scheduling of the Christmas vacation. As it stands now, classes will end at noon on Wednesday, December 21 and resume at noon on Wednesday, January 4. We would like to suggest that the schedule be changed so that classes will end at 9:50 on Tuesday and reopen on Wednesday at 8 a.m. for the following reasons: •We would hav'e one more full day before Christmas (al lowing more time for prepara tion, shopping, etc.—generally mo r e advantageous before rather than after Christmas) - whereas traveling home on Wednesday afternoon elimi nates the entire day. •The majority of the stu dents will return on Tuesday night, January 3 anyway be cause of the greater traveling convenience. •The half-day would be shifted to January 4, thus elim inating the problem of when to "make-up" the Glasses. --Audi Breston '6l —Carol A: Johnson '62 —Kim Herr '62 —Toni Moreno '64 Toor Plan Discussed TO THE EDITOR: Everyone knows that the University needs more money to purchase books for the library. We are indebted to Mr. Toor for the suggestion 'of a means to raise additiolal funds by selling ads on the blank pages of present ly owned library books. We wonder how this source of income could .have been overlooked for all these years. We appreciate Mr. Toor's de sire to help the library but we protest with every fibre of our being the radical departure. from the American way of do: inc things. Does not Mr. Toor realize that it is the sacred duty of "private enterprise" to handle all such advertising! The Uni versity must stay out of the book business! We are thankful for the various watchdog committees around State College who guard against such creeping socialism. —Arthur R.

M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst The Soviet Union is facing a severe setback In the United Nations because she has again misjudged the temper of the African-Asian nations, this time on colonialism. About the best she can expect to get out if it is to withdraw her resolu - tion directed at stirring up trouble fo r the Western powers, give lip service to the African- Asian resolu tion in which her satellite system is indi rectly attack ed, and claim some credit among the former colonies for having started the debate. ROBERTS The African-Asian record for not being suckered by Soviet propaganda in the U.N. remains intact. With some small defections, the group appears to be just as wary of Communist blandish ments as of any Western move to stand in the way of the free wheeling career of independ ence throughout the world. A cooling factor, of course, has been the experience of the Belgian Congo, where sudden and ill-conceived independence produced chaos and terror.

Let us state that the pro posal made by 4iim is quite absurd; that the University should have to even consider such a ridiculous proposal, is an insult to the administration. We feel we have reached a solution to the problem. Our proposal is this—the Christmas vacation should be shortened one-half day and classes be canceled on Saturday morning December 17th and be re scheduled either on Wednesday afternoon December 21st, start WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1960 where economic cooperation followed the end of colonial penetration with amazingly good results. The newer and less-power ful states also were impressed by the Soviet Union's unsuc cessful attempt to force her way into African affairs when she had no concrete national interest there, only political. This has been compared with the hands-off attitude of the United States despite the expense to which it has gone in aid of the United Nations pro gram. The lion's size share of U.N. Congo costs which the United States is paying is a big thing for the West. The Soviet attempt to stam pede the General Assembly at the start, displaying contempt for the intelligence of the new members and expecting to sweep them along with a lot of childish hogwash, did a lot to dampen the Communist rep utation for cleverness. Now the attempt to sell one of the most blatant lies in history is backfiring. ing vacation one-half day later, or on the morning of January 4th, ending our vacation one half day earlier. This seems to make more sense and would be much easier for the admin istration, faculty and students to adjust to. It would definitely be more feasible than the proposal made by Mr, Gitt. We hope the ad ministration and the SGA As sembly Will give this proposal some thought. —William D.
