Truman Cold To Steady Peace Clamors
New Approach
Not Necessary,
President Says
States U.S. Has Done
Evertything, Possible
WASHINGTON President
dent Truman yesterday turned a
cold shoulder to persistent
clamorings in Congress and else
where for a new approach to
peace, with the Soviet Union.
At his weekly press confer
ence, the President said that the
U. S. already had done every
thing possible to reach an agree
ment. He also said that the. "dra
matic approaches" suggested to
him would not accomplish their
purpose.
* Seizure Power Seen
WASHINGTON There was
talk in Congress yesterday of
giving the President power to
sieze the striking coal mines.
According to the White House,
however; Mr. Truman planned
no action along this line.
Meanwhile soft coal operators
and mine boss John L. Lewis
seemed to be drawing closer on
contract negotiations. Reports
have it that the owners . have
yitldecl a little on what Lewis
wants and 'what they will give.
Prospects of a heavy fine are
staring the United Mine Workers
union in the face. If the miners
cannot come up with a good rea
son why they disobeyed .a. stop
strike order, a Federal Court
could slap a sizeable fine for
contempt on. the UMW.
Staff Cuts Asked
BUDAPEST—Hungarian offi
cials yesterday decided that the
U. S. and Britain were main.:
taining diplomatic staffs here
that should be cut. A note from
the government said .that the
trial of Robert Vogeler, who was
sentenced to 'l5 years in prison
for espionage and sabotage, ex
plained why such a large num
ber of Am4icans and Britons
were in Hungary.
Britons Vote .
LONDON—Results ; of the Brit
ish elections should reach the
U. S. sometime today.
After five - years of Labor gov
ernment rule, millions of voters
flocked to' the polls 'yesterday
to decide fi British socialism was
to stay—or if Winston Churchill
was to return with his • free en
terprise systeM. '
Personalities
Plan.Chcin.6ed
A new system for choosing
LaVie "C4mpus Personalities"
will take effect next year, :Ramon
Saul, yearbook editor, reported
this week. Each year's LaVie
features a prominent section on
seniors who reputedly have gain
ed campui-wid.e stature as "per
sonalities." • '
The new system will grant
one vote to nine specified mem
bers of LaVie senior board, and
one vote each to the All-College
president, the senior class presi
dent, Women's Student Govern
ment- Association president, and
the Athletic Association presi
dent.
Created By LaVie, Inc.
This 13-man "Personalities Se
lections Board" was created
recently by LaVie, Inc., student
faculty-administration advisory
group to the LaVie 'staff. Selec
tion of the "Personalities" by the
13-man group will replace , , a
system which heretofore vested
this duty strictly in the entire
20-man LaVie senior board.
The change in method of se
lecting LaVie "Personalities" re
sulted from a student
. protest
which reached the floor of All-
College Cabinet after this year's
selections were divulged.
'With LaVie sanction, eight
more 1950 "Campus Personali
ties" chosen by a three-man Cab
inet committee were added to' an
original list of 32 chosen by
LaVie Senior Board. A 11,40 will
appear in the '5O yearbook, Saul
acid.
ilte DAILY COLLEGIAN, STATE COLLEGE, 1- rirraILIVAMA
New Design For. Penn State Ring
Shown abo - ve r is . _ ring adopted officially by Ai. ..:ollege Cabinet. It displaces all
Until now, no ring has ever been' adopted officially at the College.
The design features the Nittany Lion Shrine and the Great Seal of the Commonwealth of Penn-
Sylvania on ono side, with Old Main and the class numerals on the other. •The view of. old Main was
taken from a llthograPhed pencil drawing by Prof. Milton S. Osborne, head of the department of
axchitecture.
On top, surrounding a stone, is the official name of the College and year of founding.
The:ring ordinarily bought by , students in past years. contained neither the Shrine nor Old Main
nor class numerals , on the shanks. Both shanks of the "old" ring,showed the Great Seal of the Com
monwealth.
The top of the "old" ring omitted the word "The" and included the class numerals.
The above.line drawing was prepared for the Daily Collegian by a L. G. Balfour and Co. artist.
Cabinet, Rejects Insincerit.
A charge of insincerity leveled
at the All-College Elections com
mittee was dlimissed recently by
All-College Cabinet 'when that
student government agency up
held an elections committee de
cision, 19 to 4.
Francis Turk, president of Nit
tany Council, hurled the charge,
questioning committee "t a ctlcs
and sincerity" after a report to
Cabinet by William Shade, elec
tions committee chairman. As re
ported by Shade, the committtee
decision was •to hold junior class,
senior class and All-College elec
tions April 11) and 20 in one poll
ing place,' the second-floor lounge
of Old Main.
The committee's decision' repre
sents no:change in election policy,
since past spring balloting has
been concentrated in one place.
Shade explained that the College
has approved use of the second
floor lounge instead of the sec
ond-floor balcony employed last
year.
Sought More Booths
Turk-lodged 'the charge of "in
sincerity" over the question of
additional voting booths, asking
at a previous Cabifiet meeting
In 3
R:040,31.;;1•40
that the committee consider set
ting up a voting booth in the Nit
tany-Pollock area:
Shade reported that , the elec
tions committee had considered
this and had turned it down, prin
cipally on the grounds that "co
ordinated superv i ision by the elec
tions committee would become a
farce with more than one polling
place. And if we were •to grant
one more polling place'for a spec
ific living group," he added, "we'd
be obligated to grant polling
Places for at least four other liv
ing units."
Turk declared that no plans had
been requested from his group by
the elections committee. He said:
"I question' the tactics and his
sincerity. He (Shade) didn't re
quest from us a plan whereby ad
ditional booths could be set up."
No Plan Offered
• Shade countered that no "effi
cient working plan" was offered
by Turk.
Shade's contention, that grant
ing one additional polling place
would necessitate granting
others, was upheld by Peter
Giesey, • Interfraternity Council
president, who said, "I doubt if
I would be justified' in standing
y Count
by and alloWing one living group
to have a separate polling place

In May—Saul
Ramon Saul, LaVie editor, re
ported this week that the ex
pected date for beginning dis
tribution: of the yearbook to sen
iors is May 20. "There's a chance
it may be earlier," he added.
"The entire senior section is
already printed and is going to
the bindery," Saul explained.
"Everything has been sent to the
printer except material on winter
sports: boxing, wrestling,' basket
ball, gymnastics, swimming, fen
cing and skiing."
Five sections of the book treat
the College, the schools, athletics,
orangizations, . and activities.
Separating main divisions in the
book will be ten pages of
antique-stock paper..
"This year's' LaVie will also
have a pretty big change in art,"
Saul stated, "with less line
drawing artwork and more pho
tography."
The National Scholastic Press,
with headquarters at the Uni
versity of Minnesota, awarded
last year's LaVie a national ra
ting of "good," while the 1948
LaVie. gained "All-American"
standing.
