ill and expressed faith - in the Col

tionnaire in the original la ill
passed by the Pennsylvania. Sen

Penn Resolution
Cabinet which condemned the b
AIM to Send
Representatives
To Conference
The Association of Independent
Men will send either three or
four representatives to the east
ern regional meeting of the Na
tional Independent Students' As
sociation meeting at Marshall
College next month. The an
nouncement was made by Paul
Zanoni, AIM board member, at
the ATM meeting Wednesday.
Zanoni also said that Leonides,
independent women's organiza
tion, has asked to send two wo
men to the conference. The AIM
budget was amended to allow $7O
'for NISA regional meeting ex
penses.
Ross Lehman, assistant secre
tary of the Alumni Association,
addressed the board briefly. He
advised members to refer contro
versial questions that would af
fect the entire College or even one
council to committee before tak
ing any action.
Lehman also asked members
to consider the wisdom of letting
the dorm councils control the
board thus, he said, slowing down
board operation. H also urged
the independent man to think
more in terms of the whole cam
pus rather than one council.
Reports from dorm councils in
dicated petitions for representa
tives-at-large were circulating
two areas. The board also heard
a letter from _ Wilmer E. Ken
'Worthy, director of student af
fairs, outlining regulations cov
ering the use of alcoholic bev
erages at the College.

ROLLER SKATE
-at
HECLA PARK
Wed:, Fri., and Sun. Nights
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. ms. 7 COLLEGE. TTNxsr.,..
President's of state-aided col
leges appealed to the legislature
which amended the bill to re
quire each president to submit a
report stating his staff met the
loyalty requirements of the bill.
The P enn WSGA resolution
states the principle involved is
that freedom of conscience, in
quiry, and expression are basic
to our educational system and
to our way of life.
The resolution pointed out that
fear of political doctrines whose
complete application would stifle
fr e e and democratic education
does not justify legislation which
would have similar effect on ed
ucation.
The bill would destroy the
freedom of a university to select
and retain faculty members on
the basis of competence and loy
alty, the resolution stated. It con
tinued that students have the
responsibility for intelligent con
cern over the academic freedom
of their teachers.
No Guarantee
The college president's certi
fying to th e loyalty of faculty
members is an ineffective means
of checking loyalty and goes be
yond the duties of the president,
according to the resolution.
Since loyalty is the result of
understanding and mutual confi
dence, not legislation or edict,
requiring a loyalty oath as a pre
requisite or basis for continuing
academic employment does not
guarantee loyalty and is ari eth
ical breach of Constitutional
rights stated the declaratidn.
If the Pechan Bill becomes law,
"it will produce an atmosphere
of increasing fear and hysteria
which will destroy the freedoms
basic to education as we know it,"
continued the resolution which
concluded with a plea to Penn
undergraduates to urge the Penn
sylvania legislature to defeat the
Pechan Bill.
Fraternities Refuse
White Coat Proposal
A proposal that all fraternity
men wear white dinner jackets
for La Vie house portraits has
been turned down by the houses.
Many of the fraternities did not
feel such pictures would be worth
the additional cost involved, it
was revealed at a recent Inter
fraternity Council meeting.
Eisenhower to Speak

Fishburn Finds
Majorettes Pose
Pretty PrOblems
All is not roses when planning
a Band Day, Hummel Fishburn,
director of the affair, said as he
walked back and forth in front
of his littered desk yesterday.
There will be 24 high school
bands consisting of more than
1500 members participating in the
sedond annual Band Day to be
held here tomorrow.
The main problem is trying to
fit all the visiting bands into the
giant PSA formation. Fishburn
has all the players arranged but
he can't figure out what to do
with the majorettes and flag car
riers. -
Crinkles Paper and Hair
Fishburn was also having trou
bles working out a simple •ar
rangement procedure. Since the
bands have only approximately
an hour to practice, • one practice
will have to be sufficient.
The waste basket was full of
crinkled pieces of paper on which
he had tried various ideas which
didn't work. He laughingly said
that under the papers were
strands of his torn out hair.
Time Marches On
Another thing worrying Fiih
burn is how to get students to
come to the game an hour early
to see the program. It is unfor
tunate that it can't start at 1 p.m.
instead of 12:30, Fishburn said,
but the teams must have time
to warm-up and there must' be
time left -for the Blue Band to
play the Star Spangled Banner.
Also, the West Virginia U. band
will use five minutes of pre
game time.
As the interview ended, Fish
,burn's face lit up as he bent
quickly over his desk to try an
other plan. . •

Middlelast
Oil is: Vital ...:
For ,West . •
The oil of the Middle East is
of vital importance to the West
ern democracies in peace or war,
Edwin M. Wright, intelligence ad
viser on Near Eastern Affairs,
U.S. Department of State, said
last night.
- Addressing the 15th annual
Technical Conference on Petrol
eum Production at the Nittany
Lion Inn, Wright said if Middle
East oil is lost, the United States
will -be unable to fulfill West
Europe's requirements at their
present standards. Eur op e, he
said, is, therefore no more secure
than is Iran.
.He:.also.:.emphasized that the
loss by .;Great Britain of Middle
East oil will mean giving up prec
ious dollar credits to the western
hemisphere. Wrig h t, who was
born in Iran and has taught there,
said that Britain last year ship
ped 30 million tons of oil from
Iran.,
While Iran at this time desires
no intervention from Russia,
Wright said, an extended oil cris
is and the resulting economic
difficulties will make the country
fertile ground for Soviet imperial
ism, even though most,experts
feel that Russia could not move
the oil within the next few years.
Soviet domination of the Mid
dle East; he added, could be used
by Russia as a powerful politi
cal lever to exert pressure• on
other European nations. l
Although Iran might" hold out
in its demands five to eight
months, Wright said he hoped the
present British-Iranian-U.S. talks
in Washington will bting about
a settlement.
