'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.

SUMMER COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE. 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.)

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.

'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?"

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

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

But perhaps the Administra

a long surpressed desire. They

with my desire to glean such
information. ,
"But," he explained, "this
question has a very intricate
answer." 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

someone else, and after two
trips to the official's office, fi

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
