UN OK's China Plan
LAKE SUCCESS—The United
Nations Assembly has approved
an American -sponsored hands-off
policy on China. -By a lafge vote
the UN Assembly approved the
plan for letting the Chinese Peo
ple settle their own difficulties.
The hands-off policy is backed
only by the moral force of the
UN. The resolution was apprOv
ed four to five with the Russian
bloc voting against it. '
This• resolution does, not go so
far as to urge UN members to
deny recognition of the Commu
nist Regime, That step had been
urged by China's chief delegate,
Dr. Tsiang. In fact, there is wor4
that Britain plans to recognize
the Chinese Communist Regime
soon, jossibly after the Assembly
adjourns.

Cost of SU
Building May
Be $ 5 Million
Cost of the College's Student
Union building—now on the edge
of being a reality—may reach
ten times the cost of the average
building now on campus,
Thirftwas pointed out yesterday
by James MacCallum, chairman
of the undergraduate Student
Union committee. He cited the
fact that the College now has 93
major buildings on campus, with
an approximate average cost of
$500,000. "Cost of the Student
Union building, as currently
planned, will probably surpass
$4,500,000 and may crowd $5,000,-
000," he declared.
While chairing the undekgradu
ate, SU committee, McCallum is
also one of the student members
on the College's SU committee—
composed of faculty, administra
tion and students. This group is
headed by Samuel K. Hostetter,
assistant to .the president ,in
charge of business and finance.
'At a recent •All -College Cab
inet meeting, MacCallum stated
that—barring unforseen changes
—plans for a permanent - SU build
ing at the College would prob
ably be approved soon by the
Board of Trustees, and construc
tion of the edifice may beein on
campUs before the end of this
school year.
More Dorms Seen in Future;
Lack of Funds, Halts Building
Construction of more dormi
tories in the future is 'anticipated
by the College but no definite
program for expansion in this
area has been formulated, Wil
mer E. Kenwortliy, executive as
sistant to the president, said yes
terday.
Immediate plans for dormitory
construction have been ruled out
by the necessity of finding funds
for such a program. Application
for funds for further construction
has been made to state authorities,
but no word on a decision has
.been received, he said. -
More dormitories will be need
ed because the present Pollock
Circle facilities cannot last for.:
ever, Kenworthy said. .
State alumnus now' a Columbia
will make it for the weekend.
Plans, dependent on the vagaries
of jazz musicians, call also for an
outstanding pianist from' Colum
bia to accbmpany Anderson.
Among the local hoppers, Skip
Reider will play trumpet for both
sets, and Jack Ottemiller will hold
down the piano: On the program
are a few old, relatively well
known numbers such as Euphoria
and Perdido: otherwise the con
cert will be spontaneous, deter
mined by each combo.
The concert is the first of its
kind to be presented
. here since
Spring Week last year, and will
display the predominant form of
modern jazz on campus.• The old
style Dixieland jazz has riot re
covered \ from the death-blow of

Sextet. Sam Vaughan, music col
umnist for Froth magazine. will

Lawrence Popular
At College Proms
By SYLVIA OCKNER
No stranger to Penn Staters is
24 year old pianist-maetro Elliot
Lawrence who will bring his band
here for the annual Military Ball
Frith - Lr last visited
awrence
State in; 1948 at which time he
also played at the Military Ball
held in the spring that year.
Penn State's preference for the
smooth, danceable music of the
Lawrence band seems to jive
with that of other colleges. In
The possibility that the Board
of Trustees might decide to have
all freshmen brought back on
campus also could necessitate fur
ther expansion.
However, decision on future
policy toward freshmen has not
been made by the Trustees, Ken
worthy said. They might be re
turned to campus, but some Trus
tees favor, retention of the so
called "farm" system.
Soine 1,250 freshman men and
women will, be back on campus
next year, leaving almost twice
that number in• College centers
and cooperating colleges.
No cooperating colleges have
yet stated that, because of the
reduction in "farmed-out" stu
dents,' they would discontinue
cooperation under the plan: nor
has the College decided to cease
sending freshmen to any particu
lar center because of ther eduction

1948, the Lawrence crew played
at 89 campus proms, setting the
record for the year.
There can be no doubt that Mr.
Lawrence has gone a long way
since the days when his "Band
Busters" held rehearsals in Elliot's
garage in Philadelphia. Today he
holds the position being the
youngest "name" band leader in
the, nation and the added distinc
tion of having the only new band
that has made the grade since the
war's end.
The young maestro is an old
hand at determining college musi
cal preferences. As an undergrad
uate at the University of Pennsyl
vania he won many awards for
musical composition. Prior to
graduation he was given the
Thornton Oakley Gold Medal for
creative art, the only, one hi the
school's history ever to have won
it for achievement in music. While
at Penn he was active in the
famous Mask and Wig Society and
Kite and Key, national honor fra
ternity.
"The greatest reason I 'can give
for my band's success on our prom
dates is our steady, beat," says
Lawrence. "We play the modern,
slower tempos that the younger
crowd endorses. Yet, we play jazz,
.
good jazz and feature some in
teresting arrangements that make
use of woodwinds and French
horn."
Lawrence has written sym
phonic compositions' which gave
him the idea of adding the French
horn, oboe and basoon to his or
chestra in order to get a greater
variety of musical sounds. A revo
lutionary innovation to his band
was the unique "space-controlled"
theremin which makes the hu
man-like somewhat eerie sound
used for background music in
movie spine-chillers:
'Elliot's background, accom
plishments and talents he can
play every instrument in his band
are hard to beat. Added to all
this he is young, handsome and
still a bachelor, even after judg
ing at the selection of, 23 campus
queens last year.
