PAGE SIX U.S. Faces Challenge in U.N. Wilcox Tells Faculty Group The United States faces a dual challenge in its role as the "cornerstone" of the United Nations which it has always played in the past, Dr. Francis Wilcox, former assistant secretary of state, fold the Faculty Luncheon Club yesterday. In his talk on "Strengthening - the United Nations," Wilcox said the challenges were strengthening the U.N. as a world instrument for peace and improving the United States Boat Supply Sought For Stone Valley In an effort to supply the University's newly acquired Stone Valley lake with enough boats for student recreation, the College of Physical Education and the Senior Class Advisory Board are conducting a boat drive. Alumni and students' parents are being asked to donate any boats that they will not be using. The University, at present, l can only provide 15 aluminumil2 to Attend row boats and 10 aluminum ca-, noes, Tim Nelligan, chairman of the senior class gift committee,; • said. onvention "Since the Stone Valley beach won't be finished for a while, of lAwe and the new dock is scheduled for completion before the end of the semester," Nelligan said, "the students won't have much more to do there but boat and fish." He said that the• Univer sity will definitely need more than 25 boats. There will be no motor boats allowed - -in the lake and possibil ity of allowing sail boats is still beinu investigated, Nelligan said. The University will, however, ac cept any boat with the stipulation that it may be sold if it cannot be used and the proceeds put toward buying other boats, he added. A plaque with the donor's name inscribed on it will be put on each boat, Nelligan said. "We're hop ing for a good response from our alumni," he said. Letters will be sent to all the Penn State alumni clubs in the country, askinrj them if they can help, he said. Too Many Bills On University Budget—Breon (Continued from page one) adding, "it's about time some bfidy asks what's going on up there." Fulmer said last night that he could not predict the outcome of his bill, He added the bill was now in committee and that he was "discussing it with his co-. sponsor Rep. Jeannette F. Reid-, man, D-Northampton. Fulmer said he would have to wait until the bill was printed and the House members had a chance to discuss it before he could see how opinion was running, When asked about the rumors, reported by the Associated Press that the legislature was consider ing adjourning before taking ac-, tion on the education bills, Ful mer said, "Frankly, I hadn't heard such rumors before right now." He added that he expected some bill to be passed before adjourn ment.. Breon also re-emphasized his contention that in order to be effective, pressure must be ap plied to people who in turn can influence many legislative votes. "Governor Lawrence and Rep, William Green, D-Philadelphia, are the two most powerful Demo crats in the state," Breon said. "If he wanted to," he added, Green could line up the entire Philadelphia delegation behind Penn State." Fraternity Averages-- (Continued from page one) Members of the council were urged to read the constitution and rules of IFC, by Ronald No vak, outgoing IFC ,president, to understand the purposes of the council. In other comments No vak said that he would like to see a trophy given in the future for the fraternity who institutes a constructive "Help Week." By ELLIE HUMMER Twelve Penn.

At present, the U.N. is in a more serious state of crisis than at any time in its history, he said. The Congo situation, the recent So viet attacks on its structure and work, and the admission of 17 new membe6 last fall have thrown the U.N. into a crisis which calls for immediate action on the part of the United States, he said. In the past, the United States has always supported the U.N. but in view of The current situ ation, it must take a fresh look at all its policies and make canges where needed, Wilcox added. Under procedural changes, Wil cox spoke of the need to improve the United States mission to the U.N. It is necessary to profes sionalize the delegation that ap pears before the Assembly in or der to do the best job 'of selling the policies of the United States, he said. The delegation should be made up of top-flight ambassadors instead of the inexperienced, but capable people, that are usually chosen, he explained. Representational allowances must be increased to enable the delegation to show hospitality be fitting the United States, Wilcox said. It is also important that the U.S. insure hospitable treat ment to delegates from new na , lions, especially those from Af rica, he added. All the good will that is built up by the delega tion can be .destroyed by one inconsiderate citisen who is ' prejudiced against certain peo ples, he said. Another important task that can help to strengthen. the U.N. is having the United States en courage a spirit of unity among the delegates of the free world. These countries must develop a sense of 'teamwork if freedom is to be pro tected, he added. , According to Wilcox, the Unit , ed States could help the U.N. by taking a relaxed attitude in sev eral areas where it has previous ly taken negative stands. He suggested that the United States abandon its do-nothing pol icy on Red China and allow an all-out debate on the merits of the problem. It is costing too Much in good will for the United, States to continue to postpone the Red China problem, he said. It will soon be necessary for the United States to take a def inite stand on colonialism, be said, and tell its allies •thiat it won't vote with them on col onialism when the rest of the nations are against it. Wilcox also suggested that the United States loosen its policy on disarmament with respect to the control system. It is not likely, he said, that the U.S.S.R.* will ac cept a treaty with the intention of violating it.

College Ave. State College, Penna 6 ° 0 7 .114 hasloe Fellowship Holders Work in Education Six recipients of Federal and State fellowships are carrying on research studies on mentally re tarded persons. In addition to courses in edu cation, psychology and other sub jects, the fellows are gaining valuable practical experience. Each has been assigned to ad vise and evaluate three special education teachers in different parts of Pennsylvania, and each is supervising two senior student practice teachers. Denmark sold the Virgin Islands to the United States in 1917. Today, foregoing levity, let us turn our keen young minds to the No. 1 problem facing American colleges today:"the population explosion. Only last week four people exploded in Cleveland, Ohio—one of them while carrying a plate of soup. In case you're thinking such a thing couldn't happen anywhere but in Cleve land, let me tell you there were also two other cases last week— a 45 year old man in Provo, Utah, and a 19 year old girl in Bangor, Maine—and in addition there was a near-miss in Klamath Falls, Oregon—an eight year old boy who was saved only by the quick thinking of his cat Walter who pushed the phone off the hook with his muzzle and dialled the department of weights and measures. (It would perhaps have made more sense for Walter to dial the fire department, but one can hardly expect a cat to summon a fire engine which is followed by a Dalmatian, can one?) I bring up the population explosion not to alarm you, for I feel certain that science will ultimately solve the problem. After all, has not science in recent years brought us such marvels as the transistor, the computer, the bevatron, and the Marlboro filter? Oh, what a saga of science was the discovery of the Marlboro filter! Oh, what a heart-rending epic of endless trial and error, of dedication and perseverance! And, in the end, what a triumph it was when the Marlboro scientists after years of testing and discarding one filter material after another—iron, nickel, lead, tin, antimony, sponge cake—finally emerged, tired but happy, from their laboratory, carrying in their hands the perfect filter cigarette! What rejoicing there was that day! Indeed, what rejoicing there still is whenever we light a Marlboro and settle back and enjoy that full-flavored smoke which comes to us in soft pack or flip-top box at tobacco counters in all fifty states and Cleveland! Yes, science will ultimately solve the problems rising out of the population explosion, but in the meantime the problems hang heavy over America's colleges. This year will bring history's greatest rush of high school graduates. Where will we find class rooms and teachers for this gigantic new influx? Well sir, some say the answer is to adopt the trimester system. This system, now in use at many colleges, eliminates summer vacations, has three semesters per annum instead of two, and compresses a four year course into three years. This is good, but is it good enough? Even under the trimester system the student has occasional days off. Moreover his nights are utterly wasted in sleeping. Is this the kind of all-out attack that is indicated? I say no. I say desperate problems call for desperate reme dies. I say that partial measures will not solve this crisis. I say we - must do no less than go to school every single day of the year. But that is not all. I say we must go to school 24 hours of every day! The benefits of such a program are, of course, obvious. First of all, the classroom shortage will immediately disappear be cause all the dormitories can be converted into classrooms. Second, the teacher shortage will immediately disappear because all the night watchmen can be put to work teaching calculus and Middle English poetry. And finally, overcrowding will immediately disappear because everyone will quit school. Any further questions? Yes. one further question: Have you tried Marlboro's newest partner in pleasure—the unfiltered, king-size Philip Morris Commander? If not, by all means come aboard. You'll be glad you did.
