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.

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.

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.

Soviets Receive
Setback in UN
By .7. 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. The
African-Asian bloc is looking
more soberly toward India,

Gitt Plan Called Absurd
TO THE EDITOR: We have
been reading with much in
terest about the recent pro-.
posal made by Mr. Gitt cort.-
cerning the. re-scheduling of
the Christmas vacation so as to
enable our students to attend
the Liberty Bowl Game - in
Philadelphia.
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.
