The only Our great and inescapable task hope is to believe oh a basis of is not'to end the cold war, but truth and not of ignorance, to win it: Western freedom will We must stand firm at all costs not survive merely because it is a noble ideal. We don't want war. but we cannot tell ourselves that it is more important to avoid shooting than to keep our freedoms. If we do that, we are committed lo de feai. No, we cannot question the necessity, bub we can question the human cost. In none of the eight wars we have fought have we been adequately prepared. Might . not some of these wars have been -avoided had it been known that America’s desire for • peace was matched by its ; strength and readiness to fight? . Is. it not right to ask whether we must again pay the price of war because we aye unwilling to pay the price of pjeace? i Free men have ’always chosen peace when they could, keep peace without losing their free dom and history has shown us that peace with freedom is grant ed only to those who keep their powder dry and their marksman ship in trim. ! , Americans are accustomed tp think of peace as we do of health —the normal condition of man kind. To us, war seems abnormal Unfortunately, this ideal is not backed up with facts. Men have been at war more years than they have been at peace. . [ The cold war Is a-' very real war and it is far- later than we think. The Communists can win without changing fheir tactics; we cannot. We dare not stand still; to do so is to - continue to lose ground. These Red bar barians cannot be bought off; Junior Sees Fear Stifllrit TO THE EDITOR: It should be evident that decisions important to the health and well-being of the .majority .of j people 'in the world are made by a few “re spect’d” individuals. I Hit is also evident that the popu lation is informed of national policy only at the discretion of the few “chosen” leaders. At the present time these facts seem, no matter how debatable, past debating, and the resultant state of our nation seems a con- There ija time for saying noth ing, a time for. saying some thing, but. there is no time in which all things should be said. \ —Mrakltfc Prxtrh Women's Debate ENGINEERS: move fast with an aerospace leader Aerospace... big business of the future...is today's mission at Hamilton Standard.

To only stand firm means we wish only toj save our own skin and that we t have no vision or, concern for the. rest of, the world. We cannot be true to our own freedom if we do not work and wish" for the freedom of others. . The hope of liberation must never be allowed to fade from the hearts of the These people should be great er material freedom than the Communists have given them. They should be assured of the freedom to criticize, to "think, to create, to speak, and the freedom to choose their own government We do not want a peace of sur render. We want a peace in which freedom and justice will prevail and that is a peace in which So viet power will no longer be in a position to threaten us and the rest of the world. , c,i Our country has traditionally shunnad aggressive war and has j fought all encroachments on our individual liberties. We have now accepted the hard principle that it is better to stand with/.a gun in your hand than to kneel with a knife at your throat. No nation has ever gone under Communists rule by a free vote of'the people and no nation has ever been able to throw off com munism by a vote of the people. Remember, communism has not advanced when! confronted di rectly by the U.S. Armed Forces. (Eg. Turkey, Greece, Berlin, S. Viet Nam, Korea, etc.) —Comer R. Williams, '63 i Freedom of Expression dition imposed on without. Yet are we, the people, to be stymied, tounge-tied by a fear from within? Are words like peace and free dom which are an expression of our .hopes, our dreams, to become even less than empty? Are they not to be voiced?. Do we have the self-control — the unadulterated guts to dem onstrate for that which is so dear to us peace and life? —Carol Tucker, '64 Pollock - Nittany Record Hop Coeds Weary Of Dorm Life TO THE EDITOR; As students of ■this University, we are constantly confronted with both the oppor tunity as well as the encourage ment to express our individual initiatives and ingenuities. It is made manifest to us that this institution is not only desirous, but also demanding of enactment of the realm of resourceful meas uses upon which the student can draw. - Because of its financial restric tions. the University is compelled to house dormitory residents in concrete block cubicles complete with all essentials for survival. Isn't it a pity that after toiling (or four years in academic pur suit of this concept of initiative, the female graduate must feel awkward while walking upon carpeted floors, clumsy while sealed in an easy chair, and ap prehensive while hanging a pic ture on the wall? Of course the University can not be expected to provide these luxuries, for the student. On the other hand, why should this in dividuality so instilled in us by the scholarly atmosphere of such greats as Pattee and Schwab be squelched by the hand of such an entity as Housing? We have grown weary of room inspection and a constant barrage of exquisitely penned notes such as. "This will be removed to morrow if you don’t get it out of •hear'.": —Gail Hall T 3 —Carol Marcy.
