UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Oct.

cil decided today to inquire fully
into Arab-Israeli border incidents
including the recent killings at
Kibya, Jordan.
Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.,. Ameri
can delegate, told the council the
United States is disturbed, by re
ports of truce violations along•the
border. He said the council must

by Maj. Gen. Vagn Bennike, Den
mark, chief of staff of the truce
supervision organization in Pales
tine, who is coming here to report
on the situation. •
. "Nations should not take the
law into their hands," Lodge said.

Award
Anonymout. ' Gift
To ChOp . el . • Fund
Totals $50,000
The receipt of $50,000 by the Penn State Foundation from
an anonymous donor has brought the total of the All-Faith
Chapel fund to approximately $90,000 and given rise to hopes
that construction on the first unit may soon be started.
An additional allocation of $20,000 from undesignated
funds ,of the foundation's first annual alumni financial pro
,gram, plus this gift, have raised the total to a point where
it now represents nearly one-half of the expected cost of the
first unit.
The first unit will be the small
est and therefore the least expen
sive. Plans for this unit have not
yet been released.
$5OOO Gift Received
President Milton S. Eisenhower
has already revealed that it is the
College's wish to design the chap
el so that it will be immediately
useful for many types of religious
activities, such as personal devo
tions, weddings and small reli,
gious exercises. As such, he said,
it will eventually serve as one
unit of a larger all-faith structure.
The acknowledgment of the re
ceipt of the gift and the announce
ment of the $20,000 contribution
from undesignated funds was
made by W. W. Sieg, chairman of
the foundation's board of direc
tors. He said it came as the result
of a we e k end meeting of the
Board of Trustees at which the
executive committee acted favor
ably on the foundation's recom
mendations.
Also included in present total- of
$90,000 are an earlier anonymous
gift of $5OOO, alumni contributions
specifically directed to the chapel
fund, arid other small sums raised
in Chapel collections last year and
this year.
Scholarships Established
Other action by the executive
committee included the approval
of a $50,000 appropriation towards
the furnishings of the new Stu
dent Union Building, and the
authorizing of . the establishment
of an alumni memorial scholar
ship fund.
The purpose of the latter is to
provide a means to administer
annual Alumni Fund gifts of all
sizes for. scholarships. Some $BOOO
has already been set aside for
scholarships and will be admin
istered by a newly-established
committee consisting of the di
rector of student affairs, dean of
admissions, dean of men, dean of
women, and executive secretary
of the Penn State Alumni Asso
ciation.

is dedicated to the. memory of
