Take a Flag to Lunch “Let us imbue and rekindle in ourselves and our children the so-called old-fashioned way of-patri otism, a burning devotion to the principles and ideals upon which'our country was founded.” .? “Should not every home own and proudly dis play the colors on holidays and other such occa sions?” The above words of wisdom are part of a reprint of an old radio editorial which somehow found its way to the Collegian office. They are words whose essence was reiterated hundreds of limes during the summer hearings of the University students charged-wllh desecrating the flag during the July 4th demonstration. To those who object to such acts as writing "Make Love, Not War” on Old Glory, the flag is a symbol of “our great 1 republic, the chosen infant destined to be man’s last remaining hope for suffering humanity, a shining beacon of light, noble and glor ious, the haven for the oppressed and persecuted." There is a law which says that anyone desecrat ing the flag is subject to a maximum penalty of six months imprisonment and/or a $2OO fine.

A law is needed to imbue patriotism in the American public, they say. • Yet; at Monday night’s Borough Cpuncil meeting, a proposal requesting that every borough resident fly the flag at all times was voted down. A member of council pointed out that he would get sick’ of the flag—he would lose respect for it—if he had to get up early every morning to raise it. Are'the people who .object to the actions of those who participated in the July 4th-parade more patri otic than*Shelley Janoff and Steve Hough, the two students charged with desecrating the flag? Are those who voted FOR the proposal Monday night more patriotic than those who voted AGAINST it? The question is an old one. Maybe it is a moot But ,we think not. Laundering one's flag r&ularly proves nothing. Patriotism cannot be legislated. Like sex appeal, either you have it or you don’t. Letters To The Editor ' Homecoming' Clarification TO THE EDITOR: I think some of the basic impressions given in Alan Slutskin’s review of the current New York production of Harold Pinter’s “The Homecoming” should be somewhat clarified. Obviously, Mr. Slutskin has seen the current produc tion of “The Homecoming.” This is not, in fact, the same production that opened the play on Broadway last sea son. An entirely new cast —an American company, replacr ing the originating English players—has been redirected and restaged for the current production. Having personally seen the' play shortly after its debut, I would testify to the excellence of the original pro duction; I do this without attempting to demean the cur rent production as I have not seen it. Comments have been made, however, by individuals who have ‘ seen both productions that much of the dif fused and enigmatic quality present in the original has now been lost. Thus, Mr. Slutskin is hardly candidate to berate the New York critics for their awarding the play the Critics Circle Award for one production while he has seen an acknowledged imitation. Furthermore, I seriously doubt that Mr. Slutskin witnessed Patricia Roe’s acting debut at age three, that he views her-daily on "The Guiding Light” or that he recalls with great relish Denis Holmes’ King Duncan in “Macbeth” back in 1956. Mr. Slutskin might be far wiser to base his reviews of the performers on the example at hand and his own former experience witS the actor rather than on the strength of their histories in PLAYBILL. Finally, I cannot conceive of any producer being tre mendously disappointed by a 900-plus performance run of a play—or what Mr. Slutskin considers a “compara tively short run” for “The Subject Was Roses.” Nor can I imagine any producer closing a play that is still show- l»l AM I S| |‘M tOELL AWARE OF THAT, DOT PTmTI { NOW VOU KNOIJ I ) mr CAM A PERSON DO 70 HUG V NCW WU KNQiO 41 /uuiimaw i MAKE IT MEANINSFUL? j Rec Hall, 7:30 P.M. £ fub Jczz Club n 7 sr u BERRfS WHO "/ suggested that he get ready for the hurricane and he started waxing his board!" ing a profit simply due to a previous commitment of the theatre; this was ably demonstrated by “The Subject Was f Roses’’ being transferred three times in its several year run. Girl Troubles , TO THE EDITOR: The girl situation' for freshmen is liter ally horrible. A girl may arrive at Penn State with no prejudice against the freshman male; but after a few weeks a very different attitude concretizes. It all begins,when the upper classmen move in: par ticularly “the frat boys.’’ It can be said that all a boy need 1 have to gel; a girl at Penn State is a little pin and a blazer with a few scattered greek letters. For me and for the rest of my class only one practical solution presents itself: mass suicide!! Robert I. Todd, 71 Football Season Not Over TO THE EDITOR: Paul Levine peems to feel that Penn State’s football 5 season is over (Levine’s sports line, Sept. 26). He states that we have not had a winning season since 1964. He seems to have forgotten that we beat Ohio State— the number two team in the nation at the lime—27-0, in 1964. We had a 1-4 record at the lime, and went on to finish 6-4, and win the Lambert Trophy. Our present team has as much, if not more talent than the 1964 team and there are still nine more games to play. We can have a very fine season this year, unless our team has jhe same defeatist attitude that Levine has. Let’s give our team a little confidence and support. LET’S GO STATE!!!!!

Kress, ‘6B Those of you who were "fortunate enough' to be here during Orientation may recall a! story in Collegian about a stiidy abroad set-up being initiated at Penn State this year. . > ; For the first time in the historyj of international studies, it said, the University has established a “reciprocal” exchange arrangement with a French university. Penn State made even bigger headlines in 1964, when the Study Abroad Committee and the University of Cologne began the first United States- European university student exchange ever. To the | eight Strasbourg students and their dis tinguished professor who are here now as; a result of the new program, we extend our heartiest welcome and best wishes for a successful year.' Arid to the Universities of Cologne : and Stras bourg and to Penn State, Dr. Dagobert de Levie and his. Study Abroad Committee, we extend congratula tions for taking the initiative to pioneer ih this field. There’s only one hang-up. Even the slowest of us will admit that the current exchange is hatdly even steven. You see, we have French students coming here for a' full year now, while Penn State students go .there for only 14 weeks. ; Sound fair? , As a member of the 1966 Strasbourg Study Abroad group, I can promise you if isn't. No normal student can crowd a year of learning—either aca demic of non-academic— into 14 weeks. I'm not knock ing the experience—it was terrific—but it could, and should, have been better. When Penn State students go abroad; we are forced to attend separate classes, because, .after all, European courses run a full year. Wei study with Gamma Sigs and el ed majors and Pittsburghers, but not with gaullists or existentialists 6r Parisians. This is not what we’re there for. . And to compound the problem, Penh State arri val date in Europe coincides almost perfectly with the date European students take off for their two week Easter vacations; i.e., for the first two weeks we don’t see anyone but ourselves. Of course we do have some time-to meet and talk With the French outside of classes, but then why do we-have to depend on that? Why do .we have to be segregated in school and speak English 75 per cent of the time when so many other major American universities are incorporating their classes into foreign classes on a full-year basis? Indeed, even little Allegheny College does it. The University’s Study Abroad Committee has made considerable progress in its five years of exist ence. It has established a new program almost every year—in Salamanca, Spain; Florence, Italy; San Jose, Costa Rica; and London, as well as Strasbourg and Cologne, It has extended its program from 10 to 14 weeks. Mazel tov, but before you go pioneering a pro gram at Saigon U., folks, take a step back and re vamp the ones you already have. Send Penn State students abroad for a full year and let us really have a chance to learn the language, the country and the people. It would make all-the difference in’tne world.
