Corter Compares
U.S. Losses, Gains
(This is the fourth of a series of articles presenting the views
of political science faculty members on the first 100 days of the
Kennedy Administration.)
By JO ANNE MARK
Lee E. Corter, assistant professor of political science,
said yesterday that President Kennedy’s partial reverses in
Cuba and Laos should be laid s

er functions and did not exert
undue influence on student
government or activities.
In the week and one-half that
I have been in LP. plans have
already been started for pro
moting school spirit next fall.
As for any other phase of stu
dent life, an LP meeting is a
bull-session where any mem
ber can discuss his problems
with other members. Any in
fluence could only be that that
one person imparts to another
through discussion, as is the
case in any bull-session.
If ever I feel that Lion’s Paw
is deviating from its proper role
and exercising undue influence
or control. I would, just as any
right-thinking man, resign
from the organization and take
up the crusade through Colle
gian to eradicate such harm
ful action to the student body.
No student can isolate him
self from the wellspring of
University life, but can only
try in his small way to contri
bute to the betterment of his
University.

tied by his reverses into losing
right of the need to keep the
Western Alliance strong, he con
tinued.
“Khrushchev is dedicated to the
destruction of this alliance and all
of his zigs and zags elsewhere are
calculated to this end,” Corter
said.
“If the Western Alliance goes
down the drain then the United
States and all western civiliza
tion have had it," he said.
Corter said that he thinks the
president has had a real jolt in
the Cuban and Laos affairs.
“I think it is good that Kennedy
has had this jolt. It is his nature
to learn fast and he will be able
to do the things which he now
knows are necessary in the field
of foreign affairs,” Corter said.
In discussing the administra
tion's congressional record, he :
said about 10 per cent of Ken- !
nedy's domestic program has j
been enacted so far. This con
stitutes a fairly good average at
this stage of the game, Corter
said.
About another 10 per cent such
as federal aid to education is in
the position to be enacted soon, he
said.
“This record is a tribute to Ken
nedy’s political skill,” he said.

everglades have extended their

Hurt in Crash
Two employees of the Depart
ment of Housing were injured
yesterday morning when their car
collided with a tractor trailer at
the intersection of routes 53 and
45, Roekview State Police said
yesterday.
Both Frank J. Snavely, the driv
er of the car, and Lawrence Hor
ner, a passenger, were taken to
| Centre County Hospital, police
said. Snavely was treated and
released, while Horner suffered
'a head injury and minor cuts.
'The hospital reported his condi-'
jtion as satisfactory.
The accident occured when
Snavely's car, traveling on route;
45, failed to slop for the red blink-;
( er light at the intersection and;
[ran in front of a tractor trailer
[which was traveling south on
■ route 53, police explained.
Damages were estimated at $2OO
to the car and $1,500 to the tractor
trailer, police said.
Both Snavely and Horner are
employed as housemen, Otto E.
Mueller, director of housing, said.
Snavely works in McElwain Hall
and Horner in North Halls, he
added.

sun god lived in a huge natural
well in Yucatan. They often threw
prized possessions into the well to
placate the diety.
