PAGE FOUR Editorial Opinion New System Praised The traditional scene of a senior arguing with offi cials at registration, the traditional moaning "but I'm GRADUATING, I CAN'T take it next year," may at last be eliminated. And that's one tradition we'll let fade quietly into the 1131\I machine without demonstrations, Petitions or regret. Thanks are due to Robert M. Koser, the assistant registrar who is making it possible for seniors to have the preference their long-suffering academic years deserve. Mr. Koser has set up a miniature Rec Hall, (that feat alone deserves commendation) and his staff is now in the process of "pulling" course cards for winter term sched ules submitted at fall registration. When the process is completed each department will be told the number of students assigned to each course and each section This will eliminate the surprise flooding department heads fear and will allow them to make provision for extra sections of a course if necesary. Even more encouraging to those of us who have filled out enough information cards for the IBM computers to stretch from East Halls to the Lion Shrine is the hope that these too may be eliminated. • If Koser can arrange it, only directory and statistical cards will be filled out after the Fall term, Passive Resistance Since many students and the SG A have made plans to demonstrate for a Thanksgiving recess at this afternoon's football game, we feel that a strong word of caution is called for. This, we hope will not be thought of as callousness toward a vociferous student demand (for we too have supported a vacation). It should, however, be remembered that rallies and demonstrations involving large numbers of people have a way of getting out of hand. If there is a rally it will have to be conducted in a mature and orderly fashion, and most importantly, in a peaceful fashion. Gomer Williams said that President Walker made statements this week implying expulsion -to any student associated with the recess demonstration. Only if a rally is carried out with peaceful tactics, somewhat as Ghandi used and the southern integrationists practice. can it be morally and ethically effective.

RODAL . 111111111MIMINIMMIMINIM.11 \ll Letters Party's Moves Questioned By Member TO THE EDITOR: The recent meeting of the Liberal Party Steering Committee has raised several questions in my mind. Why, since the chairman con tacted "many of the members", did only 11 people attend the meeting? Of the 11 who voted, why were only three from last year's complement of 21 steeling com mittee members present? "All the old members" were con tacted. • Why did the chairman an nounce at the beginning of the meeting that membership on the committee was "a one night stand?" Why were the policies of last year's steering committee sum marily reversed, and their basic principles ignored by this year's committee? How can Party Chairman Al Sharp reconcile his enthu siastic support of Dennis Foianini in the Spring Elections with the proposed merger with Foianini's political opponents? —Whiton Paine, '64 Liberal Party Finance Chm. Thanksgiving Contrast TO THE EDITOR: I have just read that the hope for a three day .general .holiday .for Thanksgiving erows remote because no "cogency" can be found in such a move. I strongly suspect that such gentlemen as Mr. Harold J. Read might possibly find a bit more validity if they were the students and had to face the prospect of Thanksgiving with out family and friends. If that is not cogency enough, I do not know what other reason the students can give. However, it this alone does not work, the prospect of Mr. Read and his colleagues having to spend all Thanksgiving Day sitting around this great, end less university in wild antici pation of the fantastic fare, presented to us all by the dining hall staff with such homey loving care, would. —Ruth Kaplan '65 Deer Hunters TO THE EDITOR: The only "logical" reason we can see for not having a reasonable Thanksgiving recess is that there are more deer hunters than small game hunters on the administration. —Harry Cooper, grad. sfu —Sieve Kutolosici, grad. stu.

One of the obvious targets was Albanian party chief En ver Hoxha, accused by Khrush chev of practicing Stalinist re pressions but defended by Red China's Chou En-lai as a broth er, in a rift opened up at the congress. Soviet Deputy Premier An astas I. Mikoyan accused the Albanians of "departing from the internationalist positions and sliding to nationalist posi tions"—the same Communist crime that led to the expulsion of President Tito's Yugoslavia from the Cominform in 1948. Congress speeches published yesterday,though they were de livrred Thursday, disclosed that demands already have been raised for lifting the party cards of the old Bolshevik for mer foreign Minister V. M. Molotov, former Premier Geor gi M. Malenkov, former Deputy Premier Lazar M. Kaganovich and former president Klementi Y. Voroshilov. Expulsion from the party would be the crowning dis grace of the men, purged from their high posts in 1957 after they had seemed on the verge of success in efforts to unseat Khrushchev. NASA Delays Rocket Firing CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (IP) —Guidance problems forced postponement of an attempt yesterday to launch a Ranger II satellite on a million-mile round-trip journey into space. The countdown on the Atlas- Agena booster rocket had ad vanced smoothly to within 40 minutes of the scheduled launch time when the trouble was detected. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the difficulty was minor and another effort to fire the ve hicle will be made in a day or two. Ranger II is designed to test launching techniques an d equipment to be used on fu ture lunar and interplanetary flights. The first Ranger launching in August was only partially successful. State Fish Kill Reported by Day HARRISBURG (in More than 110.280 fish, valued at over $58,504, have been killed in the polluted waters of the Susquehanna River in the past week, the State Fish Commis sion revealed last night. "As far as I know this is the largest and most serious fish kill in Pennsylvania's his tory," claimed the commission's executive director, Albert M. Day. Khrushchev Gets Call; Told He's "A Charlie" 'I, lit B LONDON (.1)) An irate British pub keeper got through to Moscow by telephone Yester day and told Soviet Premier Khrushchev he's a Charlie, British slang for fool. The pub keeper, Tim Healy, was protesting the threats of the Soviet Union's 50-metagon H-bomb. When Healy told Khrushchev's interpreter to convey the message, a shocked silence followed the conversa tion concluding with a bang of the Moscow phone. World Roundup SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21. 1961 Camel Driver Meets JFK, Tours N.Y. NEW YORK (/P) For Bashir Ahmad, a simple, smiling camel driver from out of the East, yesterday was the greatest day of his life. He met President Kennedy at the White House and a few hours later, as though borne upon a magic carpet, he found himself amid the towered spelendor of this city, which 0. Henry once called Baghdad-on the-Subway. The visitor from faraway Pakistan obviously was en thralled. "I have met the man of the world," he said through an in terpreter as he left the White House. He had hoped to meet President Kennedy without, however, any advance as surance that he would. "You hold your leader in high esteem to have him live in such a nice house," Bashir added. The camel driver's beaming good humor, his obvious relish at the sights and sounds that have confronted him in Amer ica, have won him respect and admiration ever since he arrived in this country Oct. 15. Bashir, 48, has even learned to oblige autograph seekers as he did when a woman stopped him on his arrival here at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Algerians Hit Paris Curfew PARIS (.-Th The piercing "You-you-you!" rallying cry of the North African casbahs shrilled out in suburban Paris Thursday as Algerian women, children at their sides, tried a peaceful demonstration against a police curfew. Police stood by nonchalantly as the women and children paraded and chanted. But when they tried to move into Paris, reinforced police squads collected the women and chil dren and herded them into requisitioned buses. By mid afternoon police announced about 1,000 had been arrested. They were taken to special re ception centers for identity checks and a long wait until any danger of street fighting from their men was past. Many of the women put on the veils for the show of force called by the outlaw Algerian National Liberation Front, Economist Hits Creeping Inflation HOT SPRINGS, Va. (iPj—The Kennedy administration cau tioned U.S. industry yesterday that the business recovery may be stalled nine to 12 months hence if management and labor permit a revival of "creeping inflation." Dr. Walter W. Heller, chair man of the President's Council of Economic Advisers, told about 100 corporation heads at tending the fall meeting of the Business Council the imme diz,le outlook for price stability is good. The next critical period may come in the second half of 1902, Helier said, and it could nip the recovery before it reaches full bloom in a repeat perform ance of the 1959 business sag. "By the middle of next year we will probably not have reached full employment but we will have reached about that stage of the business cycle that we reached in 1959, and did not then manage to sur pass," said the administration's No. 1 economist.
