' PAGE TWO They go to the same school, take the same course, start out in the same job —yetone becomes a whiz in research and the,other a sales manager in Buffalo. We think it's wonderful. As a matter of fact: .that's exactly the ,way things happen at Lukens. We don't try to put people in pigeon holes. We can't. There are no two alike. We find that good engineers often make excellent salesmen ... and that some good salesmen do even better as steel plant managers. Our director of purchases started LETTER POLICY Phone 865-2531 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15; 1968 Representative on Campus, Wednesday, February 28, 1968 Letters 'Solely on His Merits' TO THE EDITOR: In defense of the letter last Wednesday concerning Eric Walker's various employers, I should like to point out that the Armstrong Cork Corporation (not, incidentally, the „Armstrong pork "Company", as Mr. Greene reports from his academic seclusion) had earn ings (in 1966) of $113,265,349 (before taxes) and may be presumed to be quite able to determine where its own interest- lies. Furthermore, we must not tolerate Mr. Greene's suggestion. that Eric Walker, merely on the ground that he constitutes in himself only one person, has no appre ciable power in his various endeavors. Executive shake ups in. large corporations often involve only the relation ships among members of a single' large family.. Let us remember to evaluate President Walker solely on his merits. Book Store Revisited TO THE EDITOR: My congratulations are extended to Steve Gerson and , USG for renewing the book store action. As I am sure USI is aware, there have been several investigations of the textbook - question and' the: most recent (as far as I know) report of administrative find ings and conclusions, a paper circulated out of the presi dent's office entitled "A University' Bookstore At Penn State?", is dated March 8, 1965. In the words of this paper, "the University believes that an-on-campus bookstore could (1) help reduce some what the number of late and non-available texts, and •(2) be an intellectual asset ;to the entire University family; but that it could not save the student money in purchas ing books, or entirely eliminate the problem of late texts." The palter goes orr to explain that to establish an on bookstore would require financing of about $1 million, plus approximately $250,000 to begin opera tions, and thereafter continued financing for maintenance of inventory. . - Yet another reason why Penn State does. not - operate its own bookstore is that of public relations. The paper circulated out of the President's Office deals candidly with the problem: "The University is not an island, but an integral part of the Commonwealth. Consequently, the Board of Trustees has long been reluctant for the Uni versity to supply services that could be provided suitably by private enterprise. This view is supported by merchants who derive their livelihood by serving the University fairnily, and with the field sales force. Our 'Manager of market development was a design engineer. Our president ... a person- nel man This flexible shifting of people, and their infinite variety of skills, has made Lukens a $lOO-million-plus corporation ... the 4th largest steel plate producer in the nation ...the world's leading pro ducer of specialty plate steels. If you dislike being pigeon -holed, perhaps you'd like to consider a career with us. You can never tell where it Might lead. to the Editor Dorion Fuchs Graduate , L, NS STEEL' , , Coatesville, Pennsylvania An equal opportunity employer. BEMs WORLD by the spectrum of business interests that in turn derive their livelihood from serving these' merchants. The State Legislature, on which the University is dependent for funds, hears quickly when there is a threat to the established pattern, and the local interests can marshal statewide support through trade associations." • Considering the financial problems of the University and the dangers of presenting the State Legislature with a threat to the established pattern in State College, it will be some amazing wizardry indeed that lifts the curse of the students' having to absorb considerable and unnecessary losses every term, Charles Mocknick '69 Students 'Core' of Senate Action TO THE EDITOR: The feature article in last Wednesday's Colle g ian about the University Senate was hard to over look, It showed the Senate to be clearly involved in the issues vital to all students, whether activist or apathetic. What may have been missed, though, was the announce ment on the third page that applications are open for student membership on the Senate Committees. Speaking from a term's experience on the Senate Undergraduate Student Affairs Committee, these commit tees are the core of all Senate action. Because it only meets once a month, the Senate must rely heavily on its committee structure to research and draft initial legisla tion and stay abreast of broad academic issues. This legis lation • ranges from "regulations affecting students" to "approval of courses and% programs of study" to "Uni versity calendar policy" (term system!). Students on these committees act, as representatives of student viewpoint at the initial stages of policy formu lation.-. Working in conjunction with USG (which selects the student committee members and is recognized by the Senate as speaking for the student body), they are in a position to see positive changes result from their work, such as Pass-Fail, Student Courts, and removal of dis ciplinary records from transcripts. Because of the importance of these committees, the Senate, USG and the students now on the committees are concerned that the right replacements be found. What makes a person "right" for these positions? He' should be able to. speak to students, faculty and : administrators alike. He must be able to eloquently state the student view point, but still be able to hear and understand the other viewpoints. And when he speaks, it should be from knowledge borne of research rather than emotion. He should be able to divorce his position from parti san politics, aiming instead at the welfare of the entire student body .and the academic community. Above all, he should care enough about the University to want to take part' in planning the ongoing change of P.S.U.

Sorority Salutes Poet TO THE EDITOR: The • members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority wish to pay,. tribute to a great American poet in the month of his birth. Langston Hughes was born on l'ebruary • I,' 1902. As a high school student in Cleve land, Ohio, he wrote :his first verses. After gradUation he attended Columbia University. Much of his insight comes from his widespread traveling which took him throughout South America, Europe and Africa. Today we hail him as a poet of the present gener ation who interprets the idealism, the everyday happen ings, the high aspirations of the New American Negro, and finally life itself. As I Grew Older It was a long time ago. I have almost forgotten my dream. But it was there then, • In front of me, Bright like a sun my dream. And then the wall rose; Rose slowly, Slowly Between me and my dream. Rose slowly, slowly, Dimming, Hiding, The light of my dream. Rose until it touched the sky The wall. Shadow. I am black. I lie down in the shadow. No longer the light of my dream before me, Above me. Only the thick wall. Only the shadow. My hands! My dark hands! Break through the wall! Find my dream! Help me to shatter this darkness To smash this night, To break this shadow Into a thousand lights of sun, Into a thousand whirling dreams of sun!
