THE DATLY COLLEGIAN. UNIVERSITY PARK. 1 PENNSYLVANIA Letters to Memo on Thanksgiv Seen as Valid Policy TO THE EDITOR: The'comments of .Messrs. Shaman and Makadon (Nov. 15, 1062) with 'regard to Dean Malone y’s "proclamation from above,” are exemplary of those made by students in our midst: who iri a fervent desire to identify themselves with' a con temporary campus issue, seize, rather unfortunately, on* one which betrays;a blatant lack of information and plain reasoning. Now exact!}- what have these gentlemen ssa id? The initial .assertion singling out the College of the Liberal Arts as’ the sole unit involved -and. their statement that” . . . members of his own faculty are displeased" are clearly illustrative, .of gross misinformation. If these gentlemen were so in terested in presenting an objective viev/ of this "vital issue" to the student body, they would have taken the trouble to .inquire .as to what the other colleges are doing in this matter.

'64 actions taken in this matter will be quite the same^ These self-appointed spokesmen for the student body have as- sorted, without any apparent trace of .evidential support,. that the dean has acted "against the wishes of the: student body. 0 A bit more lime spent by these gentlemen on their extensive study would reveal that the De- partment of Academic Research and Services has been able.. as a result of studies taken on stu- dent work during the fall, of last year, to conclude with a reason able degree of finality, that much course work- resulting, in lower grades for many, students, was caused by. assignments missed, done without interest, and in THAT ISN’T “WNTIN6.?. THATS "KICKINS-OFF"! THE “MAD PATTER' STRIKES A6A.IN! j , the Editor some cases never given by profes sors, during the sessions immedi ale 1 y following Thanksgiving, which incidentally, were a week before finals. The only clandestine and “un democratic” thing about the en tire, issue is the misinformed, one sided and, consequently undemo cratic View that these gentlemen have offered to the students.' If Ihe issue at hand-did indeed lightly claim the gravity and moment that Shaman and ; Makadon have endeavored to im part to it, their unsophisticated threat of "general -uneasy rebel liousness” is hardly the solution required. We hope that these gentlemen will be able to disentangle them- selves from i the into which they have'Tbeeh forced' whether to attend the Pitt game or to academic obliga tions tOi-y/hich they have already voluntarily committed them selves-.' j . i /' ' « Football Fans Hit For Poor Actions TO THE EDITOR: What kind of reputation are the students of Penn State' trying to make for themselves and our Alma Mater? Obviously, they don’t : care. .Our so-called “mature young adults" tried their hardest to bring about a degradation of Penn State at last Saturday's football game against West Virginia. I refer -specifically to the barrage of as sorted paper missiles, coke cups and megaphones levied against the visiting bandsmen as they pre pared to march onto the field, to present part of the halftime show. As they stood in formation near student sections' NB and NC. the “bombardment Was instigated by ten or twelve "leaders of tomor -4 row”'and was supported by per haps as many as 200 others. I assure you that by now the behavior of these. 200 students has . been related to the student body at West Virginia by either an editorial or letter like this one. Students of Penn State let's grow up! ■ —Norman Brodsky, 'SB • Letter Cut Model U.N. Assembly Backed by Sophomore TO THE EDITOR: The, Model U.N. General Assembly, which is planned for Penn Slate in Feb ruary, 1963,-offers all students at the University Park campus an excellent opportunity to learn and to expand their knowledge of world affairs. Since the Assembly will be run by the same prtj- as those which govern the regular United Nations General Assembly, students will gain first-hand experience, so to speak, of the functioning of the U.N. When an organization commands as much world attention as the U.N: does in our present day sit uation. it is imperative that we acquaint ourselves with its opera tions and procedure. , Lynn Kelley. • Letter cut 1 SATURDAY . 7:00 TTif Third Proaramm?: S hour* of 7:00 Hi-Fi Open Hotaie: dawical muaia cl»*»ical rmiflir • .aa o as u. * . _ „ .. , 12:00 Ne»» and Weather 8.00 Spotlight: Lambert.

NOVEMBER 17. 1962 Soph Discusses Laotian Situation, Military Warfare - TO THE EDITOR: Your Nov. 7 issue contained a letter written by Comer Williams which was writ ten as.an answer to Peter Miller’s letter questioning why we should fignt. I find in this letter many com vincing arguments that comm’juj msm would not be desirable in America. However. I still ask the question “Why should we fight?" If communism does take over America, it w'ilj not be as a result of military warfare. Conjmunism finds a much easier and' less ex pensive mode of- war; in psycho logical, ’intellectual and economic warfare. If we are to win this evpr-piesent war. we must recognise where the battle ground is. b - ; i v /—, One of the many places which \ Gomer Williams cites as a place ', where'we must be able to fights is Laos.; I think that perhaps our problem is that we ate-, too will ing to, fight. William J. Lederer. author of "A Nation of Sheep,” * discussed the Laos fraud. Cfur State pepartment had been spending 35' million dollars per year to stabilize Laos. The people to v/hom _ we' were supposed, to be giving this money saw precious little of it. American officials not even told' where the went. - When it was time for elections, what we thought '■would' be a Western landslide was a sensa tional Communist victory. As a * matter of fact. Laotians installed in the Royal ; Cabinet a pro-Red leader who controlled U.S. foreign aid. American funds were actual ly supporting two pro-Communist. troops. ■ . When the United States was considering not sending any more large' sums' of money to Laos, Laos announced that '.it was the victim of 'a | vicious '• “invasion" . from a foreign Communist ag-/ gressor. Immediately, of' weapons were airlifted into Laos. It was not until several months • later that correspondents got/intoi the areas where the so-called war was taking .place. This was a war .with commu nism the Communists were fight ing. It was’a non-violenl war and Iwe lost .it because we had no | U.S. agencies with/ trained men who were fluent speakers of the language and who would go into Lads and work with the people. , .• We have come to the point , where we cannot afford to engage in military warfare because it has become too dangerous. Our, arms have become so powerful and capable of such destruction tljat they are useless. Why \ is the modern-minded American so slow.' in realizing that we must think in other terms than the military and that we must adopt -a new form, a non violent form, of deterring any threat to our welfare? ■> —Lynn Hayes, '6s’ • Letter Cut Campus Beat I’m sure you’ve all heard of the Old Philosopher of recording world fame.
