A lot of people showed up to enjoy this past weekend's events the carnival, the free concert, the First Annual Penn State Tent Party, Penn State Expressions, and the awards. It was a success. Where was The Daily Collegian? • I'm not appeased by the article that was in the paper today. Even the Regatta received more coverage than that and it was only one single event. Gentle Thursday got a full page of pictures and articles. Today you even had one full page of horses. The article you finally put in about Spring Week was. almost worth nothing. It merely told of one aspect of the week -:- the awards. The Collegian staff had been advised of the coming events. I cannqt understand how they could be so forgetful, inconsiderate and, justplain stupid! . .. Where are your' priorities? • This past weekend's events , , Mideast: playing with The middle position that President Carter insists on taking in the Middle East is strangling all efforts towards peace for all parties concerned. While he calls for peace and sends ambassadors and officials shuttling all across the Mideast, he then decides to worsen the whole situation by supplying: warplanes to both Israelis and Arabs. The president's apparent . logi c is baffling. It is obvious to him that he cannot sell arms to one side only, even only to the Israelis, for fear of creating an imbalance and 'precipitating another war or a fiercer. continuation of the present one. So he plans to rectify the problem by selling the brand-new F-15 jet fighter to Israel and F-5s (Thun derbirds) to the Arabs, using the logic that the Arabs really are getting. the shaft because the F-5 is the older and inferior aircraft (even though F-5s are used by the U.S. Air Force to simulate the performance of Russian MIG-25 jet fighters). Israel still retains control of the skies, and we avoid angering the Arabs. President Carter should stop playing footsie with both the Arabs and Israelis. Our major objective should be peace in the Middle East, not seeing how many planes we can sell each side before someone gets mad. . 1 , ‘litE 1911E1Y Vi+lN GE SANI CLEMENTE.' Lettert to the Editor Kim Fads 7th-psychology ' • May 3 The best solution? .Don't sell weapons to anyone. Use those weapons as a stick to drive both parties to the bargaining table. ~ . President Carter may nut realize it, but we 'are in a somewhat favorable position to demand a peace conference now. Israel feels the need for more modern weapon's, and the F-15 is the best fighter in the free world. On the other hand, the Arabs are looking for good weapons that they can buy for cash only, not for ones that come. with Russian Communist advisors. Dale F. Brown We should demand that both sides begin serious, concerted peace negotiations. If one side breaks off the talks or, refuses to negotiate, then we know who really wants the weapons for defense and who wants them to continue the conflict. We should use our weapons as sanctions against either side, Arab or Israeli, - who hedges against progression of the peace talks. It would be a difficult move to make. Israel, suggests Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Dayan,,is capable of fighting all by, themselves and doing well, although it is hard to say how long they'd hold out without U:S. aid, and public opinion in 0 .4 Cll s.Z• definitely should have been in the Collegian. Right now I'm trying not to think that a prejudice of Greeks caused it to be overlooked. For one thing, this year we were starting all over. We tried to have as much involvement as possible, not just Greeks. However, whether or not is was a Greek activity it should have received adequate coverage. , ' It directly involved much of the campus and •community. Please provide the overall committee and myself with a reason or at least an apology. I'm having trouble conceiving how anyone could be so ignorant. • Progress back Sun Day is here 'at last! Let us all rejoice on theoccasion of the newest JiMmy Carter concession to solar energy! , In Carter's National Energy Plan' he is apparently "aggressively" promoting solar energy. In truth, every. major aspect of solar energy is relegated "beyond 1985." In the plan, wind-power, ocean-thermal power, and photo-Voltaic power are all mentioned (for brownie points) but also relegated for "beyond 1985" when Carter won't have to worry about it. The plan calls for solarizing 1.3 million homes by 1985 only . 1.8 percent of the total residential units! Under the Carter plan the amount of our 1985 projected energy demand to be met by solar energy is only 0.44 percent a Federal Energy Administration study revealed that by adopting an' , "ac- • celerated implementation plan" three. times', this amount could be obtained from solar energy. .1 • • ; , , „• ;'1 . • /1.(.11, / matches It , ,A \ • 1 0 ( Y / Anne Calhoun 6tlicomm unication studies May 3 the United States is definitely- on their side. And Prime Minister Begin has already stated that a serious imbalance would automatically occur if Israel did not receive new weapons. On the other side, the Arab oil- producing nations have enough wealth to buy as many planes as they want from ' anyone, such as France or some East European. states. And, it is not a good idea to overly anger. the'Axabs, on whom we depend on. for about 40 ' pereent of our petroleum. Finally, the United States is desperately trying , ,to woo Egypt and Saudi Arabia in order to stabilize the situation in the Mideast. The solution certainly is not an easy one. Already, Congress is in favor of adopting a resolution that could block Carter's "all or nothing".policy . towards the $4.5 billion arms deal. A sizable bloc of U.S. congressmen support supplying arms to Israel, our supposed 'ally, and not supplying arms to the Arabs despite the possible problems. , • But it should be clear to the President and to Congress that-if they wish , to promote peace in the Middle East, it is necessary to take the guns out of the soldier's hands, not ,to put better ones into them. • " Dale F.

It's the thick, black beard that's missing. , 1 The great change occurred Sunday night, April 23, a day that, for me, will live in infamy. I guess the main reason I did it was curiosity. I hadn't been completely clean shaven since the day I graduated from high school, and I really was wondering what I looked like underpeath all that. It was not, as many people thought, for shock value - . It was not until after the deed was done that-I realized most of the people I know at Penn State had never seen me without a bread.- - I got a lot of strange reactions. The first person to see the "new look" was my roommate. We've known each other since grade school, so he was one, of the few who had seen my naked face before. .. I had just stepped out of the bathroom, my face stinging from after-shave for the first time in years, and I satv' him Solar heating of water for domestic uses is cost-efficient nearly everywhere in the country but you will, find very few new homes or even federal buildings using solar systems. The Carter solar energy budget is still measured in hundreds of millions of:dollars it sounds impressive until you compare it with something like the $1.5 billion cost of a single toxic nuclear power plant. ~..) Before World War II there were more than 40,000 solar water heaters in the state of Florida alone and tens 'of thousands of electricity-prrxiking windmills 'were in use in the plains states. Unfortunately the advent of cheap energy destroyed all this. It's time to progress back to where we once were. .. . . 1 • Thanks The Youth Service Bureau on behalf of its Outdoor Experience Program wishes to express its appreciation to Ernie Russom, Chairman of Sigma Nu's First Annual Skateboard Championship, all members of the Delta Delta Chapter of Sigma Nu, their little sisters, campus contestants; and spectators for their participation and support.

As a graduating senior in recreation and parks, treceived my yearbook this past week and was pretty disappoihted. • : • Since the senior pictures were divided - into their colleges, I naturally looked for mine under ,the College 'of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. I found pictures of phys ed classes, pictures of White Building and Rec Hall, yet there was not one picture por- ; tiaying our department and the work that is done in oui, classes. I realize that not everything can be represented in one yearbook for 30,000 students, but the College of Health, Physical Education and Recreation is a lot more then just „ • physical education. What about Stone, Valley?. The Nature Center? The Outdoor School? Or even The'Special Olympics that so many students work at? These are all a part of recreation and parks classes that' many people do not realizeexist. I'm really disappointed \ in' this year's La Vie staff. Our department is an aspect of the University that so few know about, yet is widely known of at other universities across the nation because of the'work that goes on, there. Maybe next year the recreation and parks students will get the recognition they deserve for the fine work ,they do. lying `on his bed, listening to, his stereo through headphones. I walked up and shook him, and he turned and'looked at me. • . I'd never seen anyone jump like that On campus the next day, it was more of the same. • . Two of the most memorable reactions came from a pair of Collegian ,staffers. One walked into the office, passed by me and said hello, then did a classic double take and collapsed to the floor, giggling hysterically. The other was a person who came in and sat down to talk tome, and looked at me in a funny way for aboutlive minutes without actually mentioning it. Finally, I said: "Don't you have comment?"

' Five minutes later, when my em barrassment and the bright red color of my fabe began to fade, I crawled out from under the desk and resumed taking notes, After class, he walked up to me and asked in 'incredulous tones, "What did you do that for?"

I had left the festivities early in order to "clean up my act" (in more ways than, one) in order to go out that night. I had slept for about an hour and taken' a cold shower, but I still had a slight buzz when I took razor in hand to begin the ancient ritual. What a mistake. • NOt being all that used to shaving to' begin with, I was in no condition to at tempt it at that point. Suffice it to say; that by the time I finished, I was bleeding profusely from at least 20 different places. "The hell with this," I decided on the spot. I shaved once more, as a gracious concession to my - parents, who came down to visit me on Saturday. But that will be the last for quite some time.. That leaves me, as Van Morrison would say, in a "period of transition."' Being neither truly bearded nor truly clean shaven at this point, I'm currently in a sort of twilight zone, which produces a rather uncomfortable feeling. -- Mainly, it itches like hell. .
