PAGE EIGHT JFK Administration Had Good Start-Aspaturian By JOANNE MARK (This is the third of a series of articles examining the views of political science faculty members concerning the first 100 days of the Kennedy administration.) The Kennedy Administration got off to a very promising start in its first 100 days, Vernon W. Aspaturian, associate professor of political science, said yesterday. The new administration made substantial gains in domes tic policy, especially in the fie Carpenter Calls Co-op Telecasts 'Clear Success' The University’s cooperative broadcasting arrange men! with commercial television was termed both "satisfactory and successful” by C. R. Car penter, director of the Divi sion of Academic Research and Services. Carpenter said the University’s alliance with WFBG-TV, Altoona, during the past three and one-1 half years has clearly demonstrate ed the practicability of coopera-i five broadcasting.

The same year a studio was es tablished at the University and linked with WFBG-TV by micro wave.

Commenting on the administra tion's foreign policy, Aspaturian said, "the most conspicuous suc cess was getting the Indian gov ernment oriented to ways of American foreign policy.” Red China’s aggressiveness may have helped this, he said. Aspaturian called India's par ticipation in the Congo by the contribution of troops to the United Nations effort there a "profound gesture of confi dence" in the Kennedy admin istration. Aspaturian said the situation in Laos was inherited from the Ei senhower administration and there was little that Kennedy could do about it. “It was by and large triggered! by the Eisenhower administra-j ■ lion’s zeal lo bring Laos into the! western military orbit,” he said, j Aspaturian said the Eisenhow- i er effort was in violation of a ! 1954 agreement that Laos should \ ' remain neutral. i i The Eisenhower move backfired!

The United States will live to regret the military and psycho-, logical miscalculations of the Cu ban fiasco, he said. Aspaturian said the good will which the Kennedy administra-i tion built up abroad has been! "frittered away.” Now, they “must 1 do something equally dramat> on the positive side to remedy the situation,” he said. !

STATE COLLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA Assembly To Sponsor Fall Tutors A tutoring service, spon sored by the Student Govern ment Association, will go into operation for the fall term if approved by the Assembly, Ruth Falk, chairman of the SGA Tutoring Service Com mittee, said last night. This service, now in its prelim inary stages, “is an attempt to make ‘good tutors available for [students," Miss Falk said. The committee also hopes, Miss Falk said, that the students will be come aware of the service through a proposed publicity service. Under the proposed service, circulars would be distributed to students during registration. Dur ing the first week of each term, booths would be set up in the basement of the Hetzel Union Building to enable those inter ested in being tutors to register, jMiss Falk said. Anyone wishing to act as a tutor must have obtained an A or B in the course which he would be tutoring, Miss Falk said. The lists of tutors would be compiled during the second week of the term, Miss Falk said, and given to the coordinator's of the living areas for distribution dur ing the third week. •Compiled alphabetically, the lists would be arranged accord ing to main subject fields. Miss Falk said. Tire name, address and telephone number of the tutor would be included as well as some information concerning his quali fications. Students wishing to make use of the service, by obtaining a tutor, Miss Falk said, may contact iany person on the list. All ar rangements as to time, place and fees for tutoring will be made between the tutor and the student seeking the assistance. Several honorary groups are considering participating in the ,SGA Tutoring Service as one of their projects for the coming year, Miss Falk said. [ The plans for the service will be presented Thursday to the SGA Assembly for approval, Miss .Falk said.

TILL WE MEET AGAIN Seven, years now I have been writing this column Tor the makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, and each year when I come to the last column of the year, my heart is gripped by the same bittersweet feeling. I shall miss you sorely, dear readers, in the long summer days ahead. I shall miss all you freckle-faced boys with frogs in your pockets. I shall miss all you pig-tailed girls with your gap-toothed giggles. I shall miss ye'll one and all—your shining morning faces, your apples, your marbles, your jacks, your little oilcloth -satchels. But I shall not be entirely sad, for you have given me many a happy memory to sustain me. It has been a rare pleasure writing this column for you all year, and I would ask every one of you to come visit me during the summer except there is no access to my room. The makers of Marlboro Cigarettes, after I missed several deadlines, walled me in. All I haw is a mail slot into which I drop my columns and through which they supply me with Marlboro Cigarettes and such food as will slip through a mail slot. (For six months now I have been living on after-dinner mints.) I nm only having my little joke. Hie makers of Marlboros have not walled me in. They could never do such a cruel thing. Manly and muscular they may be, and gruff and curt and direct, but underneath they are men of great heart, and sweet, eom paasionate disposition, and I wish to take this opportunity to •state publicly that I will always have the highest regard for tlie Yonkers of Marlboro Cigarettes, no matter how iny lawsuit for back wages comes out.

To be sure, they have not paid me in cash, but they have given me some tiling far snore precious. You would go far tofindone-soeovered with tattoos as I. I am only having my little joke. Hie makers of Marlboros have not covered me with tattoos. In fact, they have engraved no commercial advertising whatsoever on my person. My suit, of course, is another matter, but even iiere they have exercised taste and restraint. On the back of my suit, in unobtrusive neon, they have put this little jingle: A re your taste buds out of kilter? Are you bored with smoking, neighbor? Then try that splendid Marlboro filter, Try that excellent Marlboro fieighbor! On the front of my suit, in muted phosphorus, are pictures of the members of the Marlboro board and their families. On my hat is a small cigarette girl crying, “Who’ll buy my ’Marlboros?” I am only having my little joke. Hie makers of Marlboros have been perfect dolls to work for, and so, dear renders, have you. Your kind response to my nonsense has wanned this old thorax, and I trust you will not find me soggy if in this final column of the year, I express my sincere gratitude. Have a good summer.
