For
By passing a transportation' bill,; the Undergraduate
-Student Government has taken'-a concrete step toward
,•I . ‘ e
providing a long-needed service to. students—cheaper,
direct transportation to the largest cities in the Common
wealth. 1 !
; The sponsor of the bill has estimated that USG-spon
spred buses will cut two hours fromj the travel time and
$2 from the cost of commercial buses between here and
Philadelphia. j
Time and money savings for other parts of the state
will be somewhat less, depending on the distance to be 1
traveled.
Although the services proposed jis the transportation
bill will greatly aid many students] USG doesn’t expect
to provide it until the end Of the term.
Bus companies have indicated; that many students
have already inquired about transportation for the Easter
holidays. This is'just one indication, that many students
will be leaving campus for the religious holidays, next
week. .j, - t
Therefore, we suggest that USG! investigate the possi
bility of providing bus service to. and from Pennsylvania’s
major cities next weekend.
USG President Dennis Foianihl should appoint a
person to head the bus service at tonight's USG meeting,
:mnd this appointee and his committee should begin work
*1 once to set up this bus service.
Such a limited service during the unofficial vacation
would not only serve students, but would also provide
student government with an excellent opportunity to test
student response and evaluate the program before the
mass’exodus at the end of the term. _ -•

Questions
Aid to Spain
TO THE EDITOR! Recent hap
penings in Spain fjiave brought
up t the question or.jce again con
cerning the wisdoip of financial
assistance that nation
by the United Sta;|es. __ ‘ i
According to arvarticle in the
April 8 issue of( Awake,. of
ficial governmenf decrees in
Spain have mobilised the police
of the nation tej bunt 1 down
those who readtfie Bible and .
to put an end to ;any free dis
cussion of it with .others. Long
time residents have been forced j
•to leave their homes; workers I
have been denied employment; j
private homes’haye been raided ;
by the police; Citizens have
been kidnapped, > held incoid- .
municado and briitally man-j
handled because' of their re- j
ligion. * -
-Even tourists and residents
from America, England,. Argen-;
tina and Germany have been j
expelled from- tho country be- i
cause they did not embrace the
religion of the Stale. :
While others «re being af- j
fected, a totalitarian crusade:
reminiscent of the inquisition,
seems to have as ; its particular,
target the religious group;
known as Jehovah's Witnesses. I
For example, ill Las Palmas, j
' in the Canary Islands; a private:
home was raided where M per- :
sons were studying the Bible,
their Bibles were confiscated:
and the owner-of the home was I
formally, charged-with holding
"illicit association.” One man
was imprisoned for his belief
and denied a copy of the Cath
olic Bible by "prison authorities:
who rejected it as “unsuitable!
reading material.-' !
Theae ara not happening* in
side atheistic Russia or Red!
China but are ret)enl events ini
a nation professing to be part!
of the Western bloc of "free"!
nation*. j
c American taxpayers who!
highly cherish the basic right!
of freedom of worship certain-,
ly do not aprovo of sucli ac
tion by -the Spanish govern
ment.

Exhibit Hit
r t
By Artist
TO THE EDITOR: May I, as a
participating artiiit. express my
indignation with the Pi
Gamma Alpha “honorary art
fraternity’s presently circulat
ing exhibit of; student! work!
Why those “honored” in the
field should so blatantly dese
crate the works which JJiejr
themselves chose as worthy
of representing the quality of
work now being produced on
the campus is beyond myrlevel
of understanding.
I refer directly to the com
pletely ' Inappropriate name
lags jrhich flap so dispairingly
frpm the lower edge ot the
paintings now on exhibit in. the
Pollock area.
Their organization is hapf
hazard, their layout is ambigu
ous, the printing is atrocious,
and their placement is such an
encumbrance to the paintings
that they destroy, any aesthetic
appgal and visual enjoyment
the artist intended the work to
have. . I j !
There has been] some! discus
sion about the lack of interest
in the exhibit: it iseems ithere is
some-difficulty ill getting stu
dents to submit- their] works.
Perhaps the members; of Pi
Gamma Alpha i tihould: recon
sider the artist’* position in
relation to their inspect for hip
work. ! ■'
Much of the disinterest may
be foupd therein,'! ■ ' ' j

World At
Russia io Reply
To West's Plea
For Test Treaty
GENEVA UP) An appeal
by the United States and Brit
ain to the Soviet Union to;ac
cept an internationally ! en
forced nuclear test .ban treaty
may produce- any one of three
possible responses from Mos
cow, diplomats said last night.
Premier Khrushchev may
seize on the U.S.-British warn
ing that. American' tests will
resume unless the Russians! ac
cept international controls as
an instrument to press for a
prompt summit conference.
The Russians may flatly re
ject the call by the two West
ern powers and accompany this
by a massive propaganda cam
paign designed to blame Wash
ington for reviving the testing
race.- ■ j
Or, finally, the Soviet dele
gation may give a surface! ap
pearance,of modifying the! So
viet line on intemationl inspec
tion. This would aim at getting
the eight middle-of-the-road
nations at the conference to
pressure Washington .to call of/
the. atmospheric test series
scheduled for late this month
, in the Pacific.
The statement that the U.S.
and British governments! de
livered to Moscow warned ;that
the American tests will have to
go forward unless the Russians
accept international controls.

Douglas Says
Senate ' Erred
On Nike Profit
WASHINGTON (AP)—Don
ald W. Douglas Jr., president
of Douglas Aircraft Co., said
yesterday Senate investigators
made as34-million mistake in
figuring the profits received by
his firm on government missile
contracts. ' j
Douglas told the Senate In
vestigations subcommittee,that
its accountants] mistakenly in
cluded $34.01 million of. legit
imate business expanses as part
of the profits. |
Actually, he {said, the Doug
las firm’s profits on Nike mis
sile contracts since” 1952 were
a reasonable 1 $29.8 million,
rather than the $63.81 million
cited by subcommittee inves
tigators at last week’s bearings.
The subcommittee is in the
second week of a public inquiry
into what Chairman John L.
McClellan, D-Ark., calls “pyra
mided profits/’. [This is a practice
by which, some contractors al
legedly obtained an excessive
fee by piling a| profit'for them
selves on top of the'profits paid
to subcontractors ' down the
line. |
Sen. Karl E.jMundt of South
Dakota, senior Republican on
Uie subcommittee, commented
in a radio interview that;.he
suspects there has been some'
avarice and greed on the part!
of missile makers but they
haven’t broken any laws, that
we have come onto -as yet.’.
