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.

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.

Dayaf Expects
U.N. to Regain
Port of Matadi
LEOPOLDVILLE, the Con
go (/P) Rajeshwar Dayal,
head of the United Nation’s
Congo mission, left for New
York yesterday, confident the
Congolese soon will x-estore
the major port of Matadi to
U.N. control.
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. President Moise Tshom
be of independent Katanga
Province, and other Congolese
leaders agreed to create a su
percabinet to preside over a
new Congo federation.
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.

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.
Mayor of West Berlin
To Confer With JFK
WASHINGTON (/P) May

lin will confer with President
Kennedy Monday at 3 p.m.,
the White House announced.
Plans were announced short
ly after West Germany’s Am
bassador Wilhelm Grewe had
discussed the forthcoming vis
it with the President.
Grewe said he and Kenne
dy discussed plans for the
President’s meeting with West
Germany’s Chancellor Kon
rad Adenauer scheduled for
April 12-13 in Washington.
