Unnecessary Costs
• There's more • truth than poetry in the Alpha Phi •
Omega "keep off the • grass" sign we saw on campus this
week: . •
•
This year thoughtless neglect coupled wit_
i•niischief by students and visitors will cost the University
about $23,000 over and above the normal cost for upkeep
of
_the physical plant. - • •
This p 3,0013 will come directly out of; students'
pockets, according to Stanley H. Campbell, vice president
for buidness. .
Three -thousand dollars is spent annually o regrade
•;
and reseed lawns where students take "shoiteuts." The
University provides enough sidewalk and cross sidewalk
facilities to make this expenditure' a shameful. waste 'of
money.,
The University spends $5,000 annually to pick up
paper, bottles and other trash from University streets and
lawns. This ,is also a needless waste of time and money.
Trash cans are placed around the campus and are put
there to be iused.
. Cleaning and washing marki off chairs and restroom
walls costs the University $4 to 5,000 above normal clean
- lug costs each year.
This spring the University will spend $9 to 10,000 for
repairing, refinishing and replacing desks and desk sur
. faces which have deteriorated under destructive student
pens and pencils.
In these days when the University is in a tight budget
squeeze, we believe that every available penny should be
used for bettering and. expanding' the University's edu
cational facilities.
With a little conscientious effort, students calp
eliminate these unnecessary expenditures which contrib
ute directly to higher student fees.

ÜBA Policy,
TO THE X.DITOR: We Iwould
like to take this opportunity to
congratulate the staff bf the
Used Book Agency fo4 their
subtle method of'subsidizing
the Scholarship fund at Penn
State.
We have been gmlightened
that all books not claimed
within ten days of the closing
of the book sale immediately
become the property kit the
aforementioned orcani4ation.
W.e realize that benevolence
is a virtue, but only as a vol
untary action. Many students
have become benefactors with
out original intentions.
Is the Used Book' Agency
under the impreision that Penn
State students can afford to
literally give away theirlbooks?
If so, they are greatly disillu
sioned. Let's face it, 1 Robin
Hood and his Merry Men are a
legend.

Interpreting
Strength Needed
To Halt Cold War
By J. M. ROBERTS
Associated Press News Analyst
If the non-Communist world would mobiliz e as the
Kennedy administration mobilized against the Abel price!
rise, the cold war would soon be, over.
"Soon," of course, is a'relatWe word. In the making of;
history it can mean It considerable time.
In the light of growing Western strength, of
precedent, of an apparent
cleavage in the Conimunist
front, and in the light of So
viet internal deviations from
• the Marx-Lenin economic and
political line, some postubites
appear now.
The United States, perhaps
overly concerned with the opin
ion of the uncommitted nations
and the worldwide fear of
nuclear war, has not swung into
the cold war with all, the
strength of its convictions. ,
In a war in which economics
is the 'avowed weapon of the
other side, the overwhelming
economic strength and skills
of tithe West have not been
truly mobilized as tanks and
men were mobilised in the old
type of war.
The government of th e
_United States has been working
for the long pull, and the in
dividual parts of the business
community have been working
on individual interests instead
of joining for counterattack at
a . point where the entire sys
tem is threatened.•
=There has developed over a
period of time a situation in
dicating that the rion-Commu-'
nist world ran live beside na
tions which use the' Commu
nist economic system internal
ly, provided that system is

divorced. from ideblogical
pansionism as a vehicle for
traditional aggressiveness. ,
Built nonaggressive comdst
once need last only until there
is a, powerful demonstration
•that economic communism is
• rurnworkable of which there
are strong signs: which must
be as evident to Communist
"leaders as to the outside world;
since they continue to adop t
practices which ' are ("custom
arily accepted as , trappings of
free enterprise.
As to precedent, the ability
of nations to :change deeply
embedded policies to meet•new
conditions-often has been deni
onstrated: The latest case is
that' of Britain which, -under
economic pressure 'frim West
ern Europe, is abandoning a
policy of centuries duration' to
become a. European nation.
The Soviet Union, too, as her
internal organization is mod
ernized, can be brought .to ;a
realization that her world out
look must also be modernized.
The Kennedy adarlstratini
now is getting around to codifi
cation' of its foreignt policy, in
a 385-page document, now in
its third draft at the State De
partment.
The administration's reaction
against the steel price rise was
fundamentally .a .reaction
against • : something which re
acted on foreign policy. Indeed,
every important event or move
ment has that effect, these days.
The codification now under
way is designed to see that
government action in the cold
war is concerted. The inchisifin
of business is this concertium
is required_ "
When such a concertium his
been attained, and the economic
partnership of America and
Europe has been attained, then
the West can move with the
strength and assurance,. !in
every cold war episode,. which
the administration displayed
last Thursday in the steel case.
And then there will be: a
real beginning of pressure on
the Soviet Union to reach! a
true accomModation with the
West, not merely an 4ccommo
dation finch as- they, now seek
as'a zig in a course upon which
they intend later to tag.' -
