PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion 'Crimes Against The Human Race' In the Israeli Sector of Jerusalem last Friday, Adolf Eichmann admitted "moral guilt" as chief transport offi cer for the Nazis in the World War II genocide program. Today, in that same sector of the Holy Land, a group of fundamentalist missionaries will be meeting to con sider the question of Christian missionary activity in Israel. The missionaries, you see, had been stoned out of their sanctuary by crowds of Jewish fanatics shouting "Eichmannl Eichmannl" There is an extraordinary irony in these events, for the observer .of the world scene can only be awed when a religious group persecuted in the past but now estab lished as a nation, persecutes back. The state of Israel is trying Eichmann for "crimes against the human race." Yet this trial, which was to be almost a morality play with poetic justice for a climax, is arousing vicious anti-Christian feeling. Where "crimes against the human race" are being considered, the crime of such manifest intolerance is abhorrent. As the Jews once were unable to worship in their temples, so the 34 memberS of the Church of Christ in Jerusalem had to halt their services because of flying "The services will cease," Ralph T. Henley, minister, said "and they will not be resumed until such time as the police department gives us definite assurances of the safety of the worshipers." And in the Knesset (the Israeli Parliament), Rabbi I'lenahem Porush said on June 7 "Our faces redden with shame when we see in the streets of Jerusalem, Jaffa and Haifa children walking in rank and file, children saved from the Nazi terror, accompanied by prieits and nun." Is it possible that- the peoCW Israel have so quickly forgotten their suffering and - their desperation at the hands of the intolerant? • It is possible that they can garble the concepts of Christianity enough to confuse them with Nazism? Those who would try Eichmann for the Nazi attroci ties make a farce of the trial and straw men of themselves if the trial serves to enflame once again the flesh of in tolerance.

PENNSYLVANIA Well, she went and did it Yes, my opponent in the Beagle - Great Dane battle walked into the Senate Thursday with a Great Dane, a Poodle and a Beagle. Lobbyist Mrs, Henry Piersol paraded her choice for the State dog (Great Dane) before the senators and extolled the virtues of this young pony. There was nobody there to de fend the Beagle! I though of doing the same thing (I was acutally only going to bring a Beagle), but dismissed idea as being rather ludil crous. I thought that the Sena tors, impressed by the impor tance of yearly over the State Dog, would not LEIGHTON think it fitting that a canine should invade their hallowed chambers. But I was wrong. Bill No. 8 was passed by a 29-18 vote and now the Senate is backing the Great Dane. According to Sen. .10 Hays, Centre-D., I can be assured that the bill Will not pass the House. I truly hope that this is true and hope that.Hays' bias (he's a Beagle man) is not making him rationalize on a matter that is of so much concern to the peoples of our Common wealth. He said that there is bound to he a big debate in the House since they have a bill sponsor ing the Beagle. The importance of this issue can be attested to by the num ber of times it has come be fore the Legislature. Hays said that it has been brought up "as long as he can remember.' Let us hope that the House does not pass Bill No. 8. How would you like to be repre sented by a Great Dane? (Come to think of it, the thought of being represented by a Beagle isn't so appetizing. But it is more appetizing than the oth er.) You can, however, do some thing to stop this injustice. You can play an important part in the complex legislative actions of your State by writing your representative now. (Go ahead, he 11 write you back.) Tell him that you think it would be outrageous if he were to even consider the Great Dane. The Beagle is the dog for you! (You ought to get an interesting reply.)

Accents debate —Dick Leighton the megaphone Here and There The oddest thing about Old Main is that it's there And when I say "there" I am intentionally making a distinction between "here" in Studentville and "there" in Administrative-land. The above distinction accentuated about two weeks ago when I naively asked a simple question concerning . the enigma of the University's ap propriation request. The cp44 , ,stion was "Why is Penn State's request consid- ered as preferred' leg islation by the Harrisburg leg- islature?" The implica tions of the question are vi- tal. Non - pre ferred legisla- tion requires a Miss Telchholts two-thirds vote for passage in both houses, while bills of the preferred variety need only a simple marjority for passage. When $6 million is concerned it is not hard to see why the question would take on added interest. What has all this got to do with Old Main? Well, one would think that those who ad minister this University, those same people who are too in volved in their jobs to see stu dents, would have the answer to my query. Moreover one would also think those who are currently involved in cajoling $6 million out of the legislature, would want to explain to the student population that is you and me the various intricacies and repercussions of this fight for funds. We are the ones who will be footing the bill if it falls through and political ping pong aside things dOn't look good. I asked my question. I first went to see one 'high official Cam us Beat 'Term-Trauma' Tapped By Tourists, WDFM Well students, the mid-point in the term is nearly here. I was just wondering if any 'of you are suffering from shell shock yet. Or should we say 'term-trauma?" * 4. 4. WDFM pulled a boner that beats any "winners and sinners" I've seen or heard. One budding broadcaster took a news writer's joke seriously and announced to his audience: "The writers for tonight's show were Barb Faris, Hildy Jacobs, Charley Baer and Ed Morrow." I hope the dignified and much esteenled Mr. Morrow will forgive the WDFM staff for using his nick name on the air, CM= I noted that the University has put the names of the vari ous West Halls dorms boldly on the face of each building in the quadrangle. This, as all University al terations, neds some investiga tion. Does officialdom want to prevent the inadvertent entry of members of one sex into the residence hall of the other sex? With the dorms running into each other the way they do up there, such occurrences to hap pen. But perhaps the Administra tion is planning to enlarge on a long surpressed desire.

He concluded our in terview. by saying that he didn't think he could explain it to me and would try to arrange an interview with President Walker. Unfortunately, President Walker was out of town and wouldn't be returning until the day following publication of this newspaper. Not deterred, I requested an interview with another "bud get minded" University offi cial. His secretary, after trying to tell me that I wanted to see someone else, and after two trips to the official's office, fi nally led me into his sanctuary, with the admonition that I had. "but two minutes" of inter viewing time. Thirty minutes later I was back in the Collegian office awaiting a phone call from the second official who didn't have the answer "at hand," but who promised to call me when he found it. Call he did. The reason? A glance at the state constitution (Article 3, Section 17) shows that all "charitable or educa tional institutions not under ab solute control by the Com monwealth with the exception of normal schools for the edu cation of teachers for the state" need a two-thirds vote in both legislative branches to gain a state appropriation.
