PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion Bookstore Questionnaire The fate of the drive for a University bookstore now rests in the hands of the 1000 students who have received questionnaires on the need for such a store. The questionnaires are the culmination of a couple weeks work by the SGA bookstore committee. The questions and random sampling method were devised with the advice of Dr. Leslie P. Greenhill, associate director of the Division of Academic Research and Services The questions are intended to find out what problems students have in obtaining textbooks and what services they would expect from a University bookstore if one were established. Although several pleas for a bookstore have been made by the students since as long ago as 1937, this is the first time the drive has gotten as far as a questionnaire to try to determine the needs. In fact, the indication that action may finally be taken on the establishment of such a store has never been so great as it is now. The administration is also looking into the issue to determine the physical and space require ments for a University bookstore. At this point the results of the student survey will be crucial to the outcome of the present studies. The questionnaires should be filled out honestly, com pletely and quickly because any further steps on the bookstore drive will depend upon the return. With the investment of a little bit of time now, stu dents may eventually reap the benefits of a University bookstore. A Student-Operated Newspaper 56 Years of Editorial Freedom uilj?

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Letters Frosh Likes Satire But Not Tactics TO THE EDITOR: Congratula tions, Mr. Muldawer, on having the amazing intestinal forti tude to write something as def initely controversial as your “Dialogue” for Friday’s Daily Collegian. You are certainly a crusader for “racial equality” and I imagine DARE would be proud of you for putting your thoughts into such excellent Voltairistic satire. Your tactics, however, though hold, are very poor. You are guilty of the crime known as witch-hunting. You seem to be ignorani of the fact that no self-respect ing member of any of- these "persecuted" minority groups would want to join a bigoted fraternity such as ATO not even Jesus would be content to be constantly turning the other cheek. You are not the only witch hunter, however. The “cour ageous” organization known as DARE is equally guilty. Let’s face it. It you search long enough and hard enough, you will find prejudice in any group of people. Stirring up trouble and pushing people around will, if anything;, in crease the bitter feeling. Only time and patience will dimin ish it. In our own generation there is a substatial decrease in "genuine" prejudice. What you see today are pseudo-Nazis and bigots who gain ego-flaiiering notice through their actions. I suggest, Mr. Muldawer, that you direct your excellent talent for satire toward writ ing for Froth or some other worthwhile endeavor. As for DARE . . . well, I really think that they are making a large sized mountain out of a mole hill, and I wish they would stop. Discrimination Supported? TO THE EDITOR: I was a lit tle disappointed with the statement attributed to Mr. Wihner Wise and Dr. Monroe Newman, who spoke for the Senate Committee on Student Affairs, in Wednesday’s Colle gian. ' The notion that racial dis crimination in fraternities and sororities is a matter of self s, determination, whereas drink ing, academic averages, pay ment or non-payment of bills owed to chapters, sororities’ ownership or non-ownership of houses is not a matter of self-determination, strikes me as being a wee bit inconsis tent at least a confusion of morals and manners, at most the official sanctioning of the view that democratic and mor al values do not apply in one's relationship with Jews and Negroes. Is the truth not that the Uni versity's statement of 1950 is meningless in this area except as a support for racial and re ligious discrimination, since by 1950 practically every national fraternity and sorority was on campus? In a clever way the Univer sity has said "we like discrim ination, and we will support it as long as the students in these organizations are willing to pull our chestnuts out of the fire.’’ The sins of the fathers shall be those of the children until the children become more sen sitive morally and more hon est intellectually. —Preston N.

The prospect that the Con golese army will loose its stranglehold on the port through which flows the bulk of U.N. supplies came amid these other developments in the turbulent Congo: • Reports lacking U.N. con firmation spread that Antoine Gizenga had been unseated as head ,of the Communist backed rebel regime in Stan leyville by army commaiyr Victor Lundula or PreskN.nt Jean Foster Manzikala or Ori ental Province. • While acknowledging the United Nations does not know who is wielding power in Ori ental, a spokesman said ex- President Jean Miroho and 10 of his ministers from Kivu Province had been released from prison in They were jailed* by Gizenga when he seized Kivu in De cember. •In Malagasy Republic the roundtable conference-of Con golese President Joseph Kasa vubu.

NAACP Requests Amended Ed Bill WASHINGTON (l?) The National Association for the Advancement of Colored Peo ple called on Congress yester day to add an antisegregation provision to the federal aid to education bill. To arguments that such an amendment would kill the bill, Clarence Mitchell, director of the NAACP Washington bu reau, replied that such a threat was a phony and a smoke screen. Mitchell, who testified be fore tire Senate Education sub committee, drew sympathy from the members but little support'. Sen. Wayne Morse, (D.-Ore.), the chairman, said he believed in the NAACP principles and would support legislation to help carry out the 1954 Su preme Court decision banning segregated schools. SATURDAY. MARCH 11. 1961 H W a Glance House Grants Children Relief WASHINGTON (/P> Fed eral-state aid for the children of jobless parents was ap proved by the House yester day but President John F. Kennedy’s emergency pro gram of unemployment relief faced a threatened slowdown in the Senate. The House passed by voice vote and sent to the Senate a bill that would make children of the unemployed eligible for the same benefits now received by children whose parents be come disabled, die, or desert them. If all 50 states choose to par ticipate, the bill would cost the government an estimated $305 million, based on a 60-40 fed eral-state matching formula. Not all the states are expect ed to do so, however. In the Senate, the child aid bill overtook a companion measure passed by the House last week which would pro vide, up to 13 weeks additional unemployment benefits to long-idle workers who have exhausted their present rights. Laos Communists Attack Key Road VIENTIANE, Laos </P) Pro-Communist rebels launch ed a heavy offensive in central Laos yesterday, casting a shadow over a peace plan drawn up by the government and neutralist ex-Premier Sou vanna Phouma. A Laotian military source said nine Pathet Lao rebel bat talions - reported equipped with light tanks were thrown into the attack in a pouring rain on the key road junction of Sala Phou Koun and two connected strongholds. Outcome of the battle was in doubt, he said. At stake were control of the vital north-south highway linking Vientiane with the royal capital of Luang Prabang, and perhaps the gov ernment’s plans for a long promised offensive.
