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

id of civil rights, he said. “Civil
rights footholds were gained by
administrative action, but more
should be done by legislative ac
tion,” he commented.
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!
[and didn’t find support outside a !
clique of reactionary landlords,
he said.
“All of Kennedy’s achievements
have been undermined by the de
bacle of the Cuban affair.” he said.
iadding that the confidence placed
in the Kennedy administration bv
the Nehru government has all but
[been destroyed by this.
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. !

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. 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.
I nm only having my little joke. lam not suing the makers
of Mnrlboros for back wages. These honorable gentlemen have
always paid me promptly and in full. 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. Stay healthy. Stay happy. Stay loose.
