Schott, dean of the School of Physical Education and Athletics, who announced the 'College's decision, gave the reason for the cut as an economy measure to offset the almost certain loss in income which will result from reduced enrollment. Schott also announced that Penn State would conform with the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference decision to permit freshman participation in varsity sports, thereby eliminating fresh schedules for the duration of ther emergency. Program Cut To 11 Prexy Talks On Peace To PN PA To guarantee even a precarious peace and to purchase precious time, the United States needs to carry forward the more tedious and intricate task of building the structure of a permanent and se cure peace, Dr. Milton. Eisenhow er told newsmen at the closing session of the Pennsylvania Press Conference on Saturday night. Two Pennsylvania publishers were cited for "long and distin guished service in the profession of journalism" at the closing ses sion. They were John L. Morri son, of the Greenville Record-Ar gus, and Frederick T. Gelder, of the Forest City News. The awards were presented by Franklin Ban ner, head of the Department of Journalism at the' College. 4 Great Areas In outlining what he termed the second phase of the business of peace-building, Dr. Eisenhow er said there are four - great areas "in which we must constantly work." He identified these as: • (1) Developing among the peo ples of the world genuine under standing on which all other co operative action may be based.

German 11 will be given on Monday and Thursday at 1, and Tuesday at 8; German 15 will be given Monday and Thursday at 2, and Wednesday at See Editorial Page Four The College's decision to drop the five sports will cut Perin State's varsity teams from 16• to 11. Schott estimated the loss in revenue from this source next year at $15,000 or more, pointing out that Penn States athletic program is largely dependent on the income derived from student athletic fees. "Penn State has long prided it self• in its athletic program, which is recognized as one of the most extensive in the nation, and it was therefore with reluctance that we adopted this course," Schott said. "Unfortunately, however, it is the only way out of our present situation.' We have trimmed bud gets in practically every sport, and we still find that further savings are necessary in order to insure the future of our inter collegiate program," he contin ued. The dean went on to point out that major schools like Michigan, Ohio State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, an d Nebraska maintain varsity teams in only ten or 11 sports. For years Penn State has had varsity' schedules in 16 sports. Bo b Rutherford, Lion golf coach, said he was disappointed at having golf dropped from the program. "I know the boys will be dis appointed. But I guess. it can't be helped." Fencing coach Art Meyer also expressed disappointment. "I'm sorry it had to be dropped. But I guess they did what they had to do," Meyer said. - "But the boys certainly didn't like it," he added. Captain Filipe Vias, rifle coach, Said: "The boys were sorry to see rifle dropped. The interest was great. We were looking forward to next year." Swimming coach Bill Gutteron, declined to comment and skiing coach Sherm Fogg was. unavail able for comment.

NSA Head Calls Red Claim False The president of the National Student Association has attack ed Representative Harold H. Velde (R., Ill.) for charging that Communists have gained con trol over many student organiza tions on the Roosevelt College and University of Chicago cam puses, as a result of the Illinois chapter of NSA. ' NSA representatives on all campuses are elected by their student bodies or their student governments, and delegates in the Illinois Region are no exception, Allard K. Lowenstein pointed out. He said that he knows many delegates from Illinois personally. and that he can vouch for their loyalty. Lowenstein commented that the charge was interesting to him since only recently NSA had been denounced in the national ptibli cation of the Communist party as a fascist, war-mongering or ganization which constitutes the greatest enemy of * the true in terest of American students. The Illinois Regiop is free to represent the viewpoints of the students of Illinois in all matters which affect students as students whether or not they happen to coincide with those of Congress man Velde, the NSA president said. "I cannot hebT,' however, but find' a source of encouragement in the fact that the students of Illinois, through their elected representatives, have seen fit to stand firm for the principles which make America great.' , Cowen4eist saki.
