Faculty:
Stop the
FREDERICK CLOSE is the presi
dent of the Aluminum Corporation of
America and a member of the Univer
sity's Board of Trustees. Close is also the
chairman of the committee which has
been set up to promote and raise funds
for the proposed faculty club.
According to members of the Penn
State Foundation, "the agency which
seeks and receives private support from
alumni, corporations, foundations, and
friends in the form of gilts, both large
and small," all the money which would
be used to build and finance a faculty
club would be from these gifts.
When the contributions are sent to
the Foundation, many of them are spe
cifically earmarked for certain projects
close to the hearts of the donors. The
Foundation claims that close to 80 per
cent of the contributions are earmarked,
and that, at this time, none of the unear
marked contributions are to be used for
a faculty club. The only way these con
tributions could be diverted is by a vote
of the Board of Directors of the Foun
dation, of which Close is also a member.
IN ORDER TO raise the $1.5-2 million
dollars necessary for the construction of
the club, it has been and will continue
to be necessary for Close to solicit foun
dations and corporations, along with the
alumni (who have already been sent one
letter from Close) for donations to be
earmarked for the proposed club.
Whether Close is a friend of the
faculty or whether he stands to some
how gain from jumping in and bearing
the burden of raising the necessary
funds is truly unknown. It really doesn't
matter that much, either.
What does matter, however, is the
obvious change in priorities which has
been shown through Close's actions.

Editorial Opinion
Drew Pearson quotes Close as saying
"Unless we are able to solve the prob
lem of Negro employment, of Negro
training and the whole problem of the
Negro ghettos, we are in for dire times
in the United States. We have been fight
ing a guerrilla war in southeast Asia, but
we'll be fighting guerrilla warfare in the
big cities of the United States."
CLOSE IS ALSO quoted as saying
"Business has got to meet this problem.
If we don't, nobody will. The govern
ment is doing some of it. But business is
better equipped to train Negroes than
anyone else. I am devoting a great deal
of time to it, and after I retire from this
company I expect to devote all my time
to this challenge."
No longer can Close devote all his
time to the challenge of helping the
blacks get ahead, for he must find the
money to build a faculty club to avert
a guerrilla war in the University Senate.
AT THE PRESENT time, most fac
ulty senators are sitting back waiting
for their gift, unsolicited by them in its
present form, yet also unopposed by
most. Only a few voices have spoken out
against this poorly timed, overly ex
aggerated notion of a building which is
"one of the amenities which makes life
more dignified and. pleasant and' which
will make it more possible for us to
attract highly qualified and distinguish
ed faculty members," according to Uni
cersity President Eric A. Walker.
It is now necessary for the faculty
to speak out against this perverted
amenity and request that all action and
solicitation be stopped. They must speak
out for scholarships for economically
deprived students.
THE SENATE must show the
alumni and the trustees what the true
priorities are of "highly qualified and
distinguished faculty members."

Buttons: A Come-on
TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to explain
the misunderstanding about the Hillel table
at registration and to refute the blatant lies
by Mr. Ateya in the July 3 Daily Collegian._
We were there to sell memberships to the
Hillel Foundation—and did. This is why we
were permitted in and allowed to remain.
The buttons were a come-on. They were
left over from last Spring's United Jewish
Appeal drive, and we thought the idea of
free buttons (knowing how crazy this cam
pus has been about buttons) would bring
people to the table, look at our pictures, ask
who we were, and why we were there. They
did.
And that's all they were intended to do.
Anybody who came to the table and asked
(including Arab students) were told that we
were doing nothing political and the only
cause we were stressing was Hillel member
ship.
I have personally apologized to Mr. Ful
ler for any misunderstanding that has arisen
because of this.
I hesitate to answer Mr. Ateya's letter
because it would seem almost a personal
grudge and an Arab-Jewish conflict here at
Penn State—something I'm sure neither of
us want.
But I must—because- his attack was a
personal one.
His idea that the table was sponsored
by the UJA manned by Israeli Commandos
is ridiculous and utterly without reason—
as I have shown.
Also, we have never stated that Arabs
shouldn't live too. We hope for 'and dream
of the day that the conflict will stop, and
that both peoples can live peacefully side
by side.
But I - resent the remarks that state I
am a criminal and a traitor to my country.
This is a challenge I cannot leave unans
wered. I challenge Mr. Ateya to find any
evidence that I have betrayed the United
States.
To end, it is a shame that a letter start
ing out as a legitimate attempt to discover
the reasons for our table should degenerate
(perhaps on purpose) into a political diatribe
—quite out of place.
Challenges Pool Fee
TO THE EDITOR: This Spring the Univer
sity made an outdoor swimming pool avail
able to those members of the University
community willing or able to pay fifty cents
per day to use it. I would like to challenge
the University personnel responsible to justi
fy (1) the flat rate of fifty cents per person
per day, regardless of their financial status
students, faculty, staff, etc., and (2) the
closing of the indoor swimming facilities to
students so that in order to swim at all,
students are forced to pay fifty cents at the
outdoor pool.
Why is the new pool different than the
other recreational facilities? Why has the in
door pool been made off-limits to students?
Why is the indoor pool available at very
limited times only to faculty, staff, and gra
duate assistants (ie: undergraduates, and
graduates without assistantships are barred
from using the-indoor pool—thus, clearly the
poorer the student, the more he is forced to
pay if he wishes to swim)?
• Further disturbing considerations are
these: (1) the high charge of fifty cents per
day militates against serious students who
wish only to take a quick swim once a day;

Acting President,
Hillel Foundation
(2) students from lower income families who
cannot afford to pay fifty cents are unable
to swim at all since the Natatorium is closed
to them; and (3) no amount of argument
to the tune of rising costs, low budgets, etc.
can excuse the charging of a flat rate for
all members of the university community
nor the closing of the indoor pool to students
while allowing faculty and staff to continue
to use it at a very minimal rate for the Sum
mer ($1). If a charge must be made for
the outdoor pool, then why not a graded
season rate like two dollars for students
and ten dollars for faculty, etc.
Please, if you believe in honest human
relationships and really do wish to have the
respect of those whom you are supposed to
be serving, please correct this situation im
mediately. Dr. Mac Neill is not at fault, I un
derstand the policy comes straight from
Old Main. However, this should come as
no surprise s i nc e the same people have
raised the rents for the most poorly paid
personnel--the grad students—in order to
give a raise to the maintenance personnel.

'Turn for the Worse '
TO THE EDITOR: I would like to start out
by saying that in the past I have with un
failing devotion upheld President Eric A.
Walker's proposals and actions; however,
this summer there is something new and
unwanted in the presidential plans—a turn
for the worse.
I visited the Natatorium only to be re
pulsed by the statement that the students at
the University will never feel the water of
the indoor pool—except those taking tests—
even if the temperatures reach into the 100's.
I feel that this is a direct affront to the
students and also a reversal in Eric Walker's
plans for orienting students. They will truly
learn to love this student-run and so-called
Democratic University. Aren't we all so glad
that he even went so far as to poll the stu
dent body for its opinion?
If we, the students, the populus of this
urbane Universitas are willing to pay 50
cents per day, even though we can only
swim for a short time. then we will forget
the whole mess. However, if there are stu
dents here who really give a damn and don't
have 50 cents to throw away, I sincerely
hope that you will listen to and support my
proposals. Not only do I ask you to support
them but also to show your dissatisfaction
to the proper person—President Walker.
I propose that we the students should
be allowed such pool privileges as was ac
corded the students during the past three
terms, except in the case in which a large
group of people have previous arrangements.
If the first proposal can't or won't be
met, I then propose that the outdoor pool
be opened without a charge, or a maximum
of 10 cents be imposed. I know the pool has
to be paid for, but does it have to be paid
for by the students in one summer? Out
rageous!
My third proposal, and my last, is that
a maximum charge of 25 cents be imposed
on the outdoor pool and that the indoor
pool be open to the students two days and
three. nights out of the week and also on
the weekends.
My proposals taper in magnitude toward
the end, but I do believe that action must
be taken so that more students may have
a more enjoyable and relaxing summer. I
feel that it is time something should be
done for the students and not to them. After
all, it is going to be a long hot summer.
