Dorm Council Asks
Kenworthy’s Support
Nittany dorm council yesterday sought support of Wil
mer E. Kenworthy, assistant to the President in charge of
student affairs, in its protest against an administration in
crease in rentals for double rooms occupied by one person.
Earlier, Russell E. Clark, housing director, sent a letter
to Nittany, Pollock Circle, and
West dorm area men living alone
in double rooms, outlining spe
cial rates for those who wished to
continue their present rooming
qrangements.
Clark’s letter, which urged that
men involved choose roommates
among themselves, listed the fol
lowing rates for men living alone
in double rooms: Pollock Circle,
$B4; Nittany, $120; and West
dorms, $132. Rates for single
rooms in the same areas, respec
tively, are $7O, $9O, and $120; for
double rooms, $6O, $BO, and $lOO.
Ask No Changes
• A copy of a note to Clark which
protested the ruling was attach
ed to the letter asking Kenwor
thy’s support. It said increased
rentals authorized by the board
of trustees should not be enforced
and urged that no changes in
housing be made until the end of
the semester.
' Clark’s letter said: “In all fair
ness, we cannot expect two boys
living together in a double rooir
to be completely satisfied with
their situation when the next
door neighbor has the exclusive
use of a double room for exactly
the same rate as each of- them
pays.”
Clark, who' invited men in
volved to discuss the problem
with him, said there were def
inite advantages to living with
roommates.
Council's Points
The council letter maintained
there was no resentment against
men living alone in double rooms
and said that many area men had
been moved as often as three
times because of closing of some
dorms. It also stated that causes
of the situation would recur each
term and could not be remedied
under the trustees’ plan.
Further moves would hamper
men studying for mid-term ex
aminations, the letter said. The
council also pointed out what it
considered' inequalities' in rates
and said- doubling up of men
would _ not cause any saving in
heat, lighting, and janitorial costs.
Eisenhower Lists Points
✓
For Political Integration
President Milton S. Eisenhower outlined a four point program for
integrating international political factors at the banquet opening the
intercollegiate colloquy last night.
Eisenhower listed the development of understanding among peo
ples of the world, economic cooperation among nations, international
political cooperation, and power to support world peace.
There are no national prob
lems facing the United States to
day that aren’t international in
scope, Eisenhower said. He added
that Americans always try to find
the simple solution to the world’s
problems but this doesn’t always
work.
Elements for obtaining “peace
and security are already in opera
tion if we understand them and
develop' them fully,” he said.
Must Seek Peace Plan
He said he believes Americans
should give their complete alle
giance to a federal world govern
ment with an army, navy, police
force, and control of atomic wea
pons. Through the United Ra
tions, the people, of the world
must devise “a clear, consistent
program for. peace,” he added.
President Eisenhower said there
is not mutual understanding be
tween the peoples of the world
and the United States.
Censorship and the “big lie”
must be defeated through" proper
use of the Voice of America and
the facilities of UNESCO, he said.

Coed Cheerleaders
Will Not Perform
The five coed cheerleaders who
performed at the Temple football
game will not be in action at to
day’s game with West Virginia,
nor next -week’s game with Rut
gers, Harold R. Gilbert, graduate
manager of athletics, announced
yesterday.
The five, Michaline Claysmith,
Mary Foucart, Polly Potter, Cook
ie Weber, and Jeanne Wiener
were the first women cheerleaders
since 1947, and their appearance
caused some controversy. Action
will probably be taken at the next
athletic council meeting to decide
if coed cheerleaders will be al
lowed next year. If they are per
mitted, a definite system of se
lecting them will be established.
According to Gilbert many cam
pus groups protested the use of
the coeds. Criticisms were against
the method used to choose the
five, and their lack of prepara
tion to perform at the Temple
game: Rudy Valentino, head
cheerleader, said he didn’t have
time to hold tryouts, and had to
choose five members of Thespians
whom he knew.. could perform
without much practice. The names
of the protesting groups were not
disclosed by Gilbert.

and pea shooters,” Eisenhower ad
vocated use of “intellectual atomic
bombs” to combat world misun
derstanding. He also said the peo
ple of the world must be given
the right to hope for betterment
of their “desperate economic cir
cumstances.”
The recent China affair almost
wrecked the UN, but quick action
on the Korean situation strength
ened that organization consider
ably, he said.
He said that, just as the United
States has the power to stop do
mestic peace violations, the world
must have a means of thwarting
international violators. ’He added
that the individual must educate
himself before the uneven ele
ments in international politics can
be brought under control.
A question and answer period
followed his address. Kermit Eby
of the University of Chicago pre
sented the first discussion on the
colloquy agenda. “A Religious and
Political Strategy,” following the

Classes Cancelled
For Registration

Dec. 4 and 5 as an aid to the
faculty and students in complet
ing first phase registration for the
second semester.
Wilmer E. Kenworthy, assis
tant to the President in charge
of student affairs, issued a state
ment yesterday to clear up a mis
understanding resulting from his
letter explaining the situation to
All-College cabinet.
Kenworthy said he did not
completely explain the procedure
to Robert Davis, All-College
president, and the result was that
cabinet was under the impression
that the two . days would be final
registration for all students on
campus now.
Notifies Cabinet
The letter was sent to Davis
by Kenworthy, acting in his po
sition as secretary to the Coun
cil of Administration. Kenworthy
said that cabinet was notified of
the decision for two reasons: so
that they would help in pointing
out the importance of the pro
cedure, and that they give the
administration advice on the
feasibility of assessing students
a late registration fee, probably
$lO, for failure to complete first
phase registration on either Dec.
4 or 5.
In his statement yesterday,
Kenworthy stressed the fact that
it was still only first phase reg
istration, but that the two days
would be utilized to put an end
to the “spare, moment” registra
tion and counseling. which must
take place now because of the
press of classes.
Dr. C. O. Williams, acting reg
istrar, said that the present plan
would end the long, drawn-out
process of first phase registra

regardless of whether it is ap
proved by the NPA.
An NPA ruling issued two
weeks ago specifically prohibited
construction of certain types of
entertainment and recreation
buildings.
Factors Considered
However, College officials in
dicated they thought inclusion of
foo dand other services as well as
office facilities in the building
were factors which might be con
sidered in favor of approval by
NPA.
Duty of the NPA is to conserve
steel and other materials vital to
national defense.
The Student Union building
and all such projects must be
reviewed by the NPA, President
Milton S. Eisenhower was advised
this' week after he made inquiry
with educational authorities in
Washington concerning the .build
ing.
No Bids
Officials said that no bids
would be asked for until approval
of the project is given by the
NPA, but that plans would be
completed nonetheless and would
be ready at a later date if the
project is not approved this year.
A student assessment of $7.50
per semester this year and $lO
per semester thereafter is to pro
vide initial funds for the project
and to help pay for upkeep and
amortization. The fee was ap
proved last June by the board of
trustees and preliminary plans
for the building were approved
by the trustees in September.
Architects have been working on
detail plans since that time.
Detail plans for the east and
west units of the infirmary also
are being completed and bids will
be called for as soon as they are
finished, S. K. Hostetter, assistant
