Editorial Opinion
Student Support Needed
After a slow start, Froth has finally hurdled one of the
obstacles in its campaign to receive a charter from the
University.
The Committee on Student Organization gave the new
humor magazine tentative approval yesterday. The charter
request now will be reviewed by the Administrative Com
mittee on Student Affairs. Robert G. Bernreuter, head
of the committee, indicated that this reviewing will begin
Monday.
The Froth issue has lingered on campus for almost the
entire school year. At one time student opinion was very
strong in favor of retaining a humor magazine. We firmly
believe that these Atrong feelings continue to exist.
But, it will be necessary for all students interested in
maintaining a humor magazine to reaffirm their beliefs on
this issue
Students must now direct their opinions to the 10
members of the Administrative Committee on Student
Affairs. The names of these committee members and their
offices are listed below so that students can express, either
in person or through private correspondence, their beliefs.
Robert G. Bernreuter, Chairman 114 Old Main
and 109 Willard.
Merle E. Campbell, dean of student affairs for the
Commonwealth Campuses 110 Old Main.

Democratic Process Preserved
,The Undergraduate Student Congress Put things in
their proper perspective last night when they placed
democracy ahead of efficiency.
They defeated a bill which would have required area
councils to break election ties instead of-holding run-off
elections.
Having the area council break-the tie wouldhave been
a quick and easy way of choosing between two tied candi
dates. But the unusual multi-representative nature
,of
most campus constituencies where students elect more
than one USG Congressman at a time makes it imperative
that students themselves break these ties.
We applaud the Congress' defeat of this measure.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN, UNIVERSITY PARK, PENNSYLVANIA
Practicing
in Carnegie
Exculpated
TO THE EDITOR: I think we
(minus Phil Currie) graduate stu
dents in the School of Journalism
owe you musicians housed with us
in Carnegie a note of apology. We
are sorry we did not rally to your
cause as soon as Currie blasted
your practice sessions.
We wish -to.make it clear that
the irrate Currie did not speak
for all journalism students when
he attacked your playing and
singing. Certainly most of use
realize that you are student musi
cians and have as much right and
need' to develop yOur skills as we
do ours.
We, know, too, that .you did not
choose to bunk with us tempera
mental journalists. Nevertheless,
we (minus Currie) are glad to have
you jive up old Carnegie. True,
we don't always appreciate your
sour notes and high pitches, and
we often spout off cruel sounds in
response to - yours. Usually, this is -
all in fun. I do hope we are flex
ible and grownup enough to ac
cept the situation as one of life's
inevitable hardships.
If we journalists can't take a
little badgered Beethoven and
chopped Chopin now and then; it
is doubtful that we could survive
the chaos and havoc in newspaper
and magaiine offices.
• So ; musicians,. play and-sing on.
Without you; Carnegie would be
a pretty livid place. Your sounds,
which are often rather enjoyable,
add a definite charm to our abode.
As for colleague Currie, we
grad students in his office have
gifted him with a set of ear plugs.

'Modest Proposal' Suggested
To 'Housing, Food Services
TO THE EDITOR: In Thursday's
edition of The Daily Collegian, I
read with increased interest the
case against Housing and Focid
Services as presented by the four
undergraduates. They have a valid
gripe.
Having been at variance with
the service on two separate occa
sions due to their strict observance
of the "one minute policy," I feel
closely allied with these four dis
gruntled and disgusted students. I
was under the impression that
these incidents were few and far
between, but it appears that the
food service on this campus leaves
something to be desired.
On five or six different occa
sions I have seen battle-weary
students refused their rightful
"meal" simply because their time
did not coincide with the clock in
the dining room. And in_each in
stance, it was a matter of seconds
and - minutes. On 'two occasions,
the food was already on the plate
and was, tossed into the Can to
wind up as dinner for the rabbits.
Of course, this is where it should
have been dumped in the first
place..
Not only.ls.Pgood food" wasted,
but students who arrive late—still
within the •alloted food- hour—ate

Russian Delegation Criticized
• TO THE EDITOR: •I was a mem
ber of, the Soviet delegation in the
Model U.N., and wish to protest
against the poor perfOrmance and
astrocious manners of the other
Soviet delegates.
In the nuclear testing discus
sion on Saturday, the Soviet dele
gate introduced a 17-page rest
- lution which was insignificantly
different from the 'draft treaty
proposed by the United States and
Britain in Geneva a few months
ago. Every paragraph of those 17
pages betrays the Vital interests
of the Soviet Union (which is why
'it was offered by the West).
It suggested - that a commission,
of representatiVes of the nuclear
powers decide by a two-thirds
majority which areas among those
where tests were suspected, would
be inspected. - •
But three of the four nuclear
poWers are in the. Western • Bloc
and three-quarters is larger than
two-thirds. Thus -the West could
combine and forbid inspection in
the U.S.A. and continue its tests
- anywhere, and hence the West
could combine and carry on • in
spection day and night through
out the Soviet Union. -
There were other things in the
resolution to which no Soviet goV-
ernment would agree:_ All of
these deficiencies were also seen
by Larry Robbins, the able leader
of the United'•States delegation.
Yet no one in my delegation could
see these things. I had thought
that the Soviet use of the veto was
understood by now, but I was mis
taken.
When all delegates were given
the opportunity to speak on India's.
resolution on testing, I asked to

terday's leftovers and tomorrow's
cheese sandwiches because the
supply of the 'main meal gave out.
The brilliancy of such planning
would work wondeis with Chinese
refugees!
At this" point; let me offer a
modest proposal that should read
ily attach itself . to: the rational
minds of the "Organization-Men"
of Food and Housing.,
First, an eating schedule should
be arranged so that there are
36 five minute,eating periods
throughout the" ay in order to
avoid future chaos. Each student
would be assigned three-five min
ute eating periods, one each for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. At
the end of each period, a loud
gong would sound allowing each
student ten seconds to finish his
meal, drop-off his tray and leave
the hall.
Slow or hard of hearing students
would be banished from the dining
hall for an initial sentence of one
week. Each successive violation
would incur a heavier sentence,
with the student ultimately wind
ing up eating dinner at the Penn
State Diner.
Finally, each checker, should• be
encouraged to carry a whip; not
only to herd students into line,
but also to discipline disgusted
and dissatisfied students - like me!

speak. - Knowing that - I Would
speak • against it while they voted
in favor, the other Soviet delegateir
forbade it. I asked, to state my
personal opinion and our Acting
Chairman went talhe microphone
and expelled me from the deleg a- tion. At' no time did any of the
delegates apologize to me for their .
open hostility and appalling be
havior. On the contrary, they con
tinued to tell me that I deserved it.
In every case, all the represen
tatives of Soviet bloc countries
voted with the U.S.S.R. Because
the .Soviet Union's views were so
badly represented, the debates and
votes were unreal.
- It is an excellent Idea to have
an annual -Model U.N., but I hope
that next time the delegates will
not seek to attach their label to
the winning resolution, irrespec
tive of its acceptability to the
- country they represent. This error
was quite common last weekend,
and - made - .the show unrealistic.
_
Above , all, I hope that next year
the Soviet delegates will have the
courage to stand up for the real
views of the Soviet, Union fully
Tenzing that . they will be out
"voted.
