PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion A University In Waiting' There are good indications that Penn State may help the development of the nation’s new Peace to pioneer Corps. The selection of Lawrence E. Dennis, vice president for academic affairs, to work on the Peace Corps training program in colleges and universities, was an honor to the University. It was also Indicated that Washington recognizes that the University has already done a lot of work on this very idea. President Eric A. Walker and Dennis, as early as last December, outlined a plan for integrating Peace Corps training into the curricula of colleges and universities. This plan was submitted to the American Council on Education, whose president is the same Dr. Arthur S. Adams who has been named to supervise the Peace Corps training program. Adams immediately asked for Dennis to be his right hand man in working out the objectives of the training program. When informed of his appointment, Dennis was al ready on his way to Chicago to speak on the Peace Corps at a higher education conference. In Chicago ha expressed some very definite ideas about what universities should do to help develop this revolutionary program of assistance to underdeveloped countries which will tap the vitality and sincerity of American youth. These ideas paralleled the thoughts of’the University, Walker said yesterday. Dennis said that universities should make their facili- ties available and take part in fashioning the corps; give leaves to faculty to help staff the overseas program and give top priority to improved education for public service and responsibility. Walker has said that if Penn State were chosen to provide a training program for the Peace Corps It could be ready by next fall. The Peace Corps is one of the best programs of assistance this country has developed and could be one of its best foreign policy moves. Penn State would be performing a great service to the country and the world as a pioneer in building this Corps.

By J. M. ROBERTS Associated Press News Analyst What’s the difference between an agreement to dis agree in the United Nations, which is being sought by the Soviet Union, the United States and some other delega tions, and the kind of “peaceful coexistence” which the West has so far refused 1 ’ Premier Khrushchev wants co-existence so he can fight the cold war on his own terms. In return, he offers prom ises not to shoot unless the free world puts up too much resis tance against the measures by whi jh he proposes to Roberts take over the world. Those measures include con vincing people that commun ism is the quick road to eco nomic health, that commun ism is not militarily aggressive, and that economic ties with the Soviet Union do not threat en independence. It would be a great victory for the Kremlin if it could get the West to quit pointing out the faults in this propaganda and let people forget things like Tibet and Hungary. To be sure, the Soviet offer to drop their charges about U 2, a incident brought fbout by what was obviously a defensive Ameri can policy, and about R 847, where there's a strong chance Letters Frosh Housing Troubles TO THE EDITOR: The follow ing is in response to a letter I received from Mr. James S. Kline. Head Assignment Divis ion, Department of Housing, Pollock Dining Hall Building requesting me either to find a roommate for the one which left or to pay an extra $45 for the occupancy of the room which was assigned me in the beginning of the semester. I have before me Mr. Kline's letter of March 7, I9GI. There are a few matters and points which I should like to make clear and which I should like you to make clear. • I am a full time student at this University, and I have no iime to go around searching for roommates. Apparently the members of the Department of Housing are underpaid since you seem to be reluctant to ful fill the functions which your position requires. Snowed Radar Trapped University officials and' students may have a difficult time convincing State legislators of their need for increased appro priations by logical means, if the Legislature’s action on tha recently defeated radar bill can be taken as a guide. Late Tuesday the State Legis lature demonstrated its in ability to keep in step with the times by defeating a bill de signed to use radar in trapping speeders. Radar is a highly accurate inst rument capable of tracking any metallic de vice with ex treme precis ion. It is used to track mis siles and oth er instruments of a i r-borne warfare that require deadly accuracy Many states mters have adopted radar as a means of trapping speeders, and such nearby states as New Jersey and Connecticut have found it particularly useful in reducing accidents. Connecticut has the THURSDAY. MARCH 9, 1961 the Soviets face a beating in UN debate You will notice that while giving lip service to a period of gestation for American for eign policy under a new ad ministration.. Khrushchev has not sacrificed his freedom of action in the Congo or Laos. Ho conti .ues his polemics about Berlin, and waves his rockets as usual. At points of power contact he is adamant, onlv shifting from time to time his emphasis on different points of propa ganda. A UN session devoid of prop aganda fights would be a nov elty and in some ways a relief. Anf relief from fear and ten sion, no matter how desirable, is not something the free world can afford. The Kennedy administration has already enjoyed a piece of luck in that it is not being forced to make vital short range decisions in foreign af fairs while trying to devise long-range strategy. Cutting off the propaganda fountains at any source, how ever, runs the risk of not knowing which way the cold water is flowing. •If there is a surplus of rooms, I am not to blame. You can check your IBM machines to see why there is a shortage of students. Maybe you should stop construction on the Turf Plot Housing as these dormi tories will give you a surplus of one thousand rooms. • I am very happy where I am, and I have no intentions of moving from this room or hail. If you wish to assign me a new roommate, I will accept him or her with open arms. • I have NO intentions of paying an extra 545 due to your incompetence. If I have been sarcastic it is to show you the ridiculousness of the bureaucracy of this Uni versity. Housing is not the only department being run ineffi ciently. I hope we will be able to reach some future accommo dation. Thank you. —Burt Kaplan '64 by jo el myers best traffic safety record in the nation. Several persons who are op posed to the institution of a radar network on Pennsyl vania’s highways argue that many of the speed limits are unfair. If ihis is true, a re vision of speed limits would seem to be more logical than a restriction of law enforce ment. The present system, which requires that police actually follow and clock a speeding vehicle for at least a quarter of a mite, is unfair because it only permits the catching of some speeders. A radar system would bring more uniformity io speed limit enforcement. The defeat of the radar bill illustrates the need for law makers with a broader under standing of basic scientific knowledge and principles.
