Cold, Winds
Are Forecast
For Weekend
If couples complained about the
obscure moon and stars after the
dance last night, because of the
increased cloudiness which the
Meteorology department reported,
they will really have reason to
complain tonight.
A cold front is moving in and
will probably transform the sup
posedly spring -like weather of
April temporarily into a combin
ation of wind and cold apparently
reserved specially for the big
weekend.
At least the cold weather waited
until after the IFC-Panhel Ball
and Ralph Flanagan's arrival.
The weather evidently decided to
have mercy on Penn• . State stu
dents and spared Flanagan's or
chestra, permitting it to play at
the dance. The full dose of un
seasonal weather will set -in to
day and tomorrow.

WD Separation Plan
The administration yesterday approved the physical separation
plan for Hamilton Hall, according to Dean of Men Frank J. Simes.
Under the plan, submitted by the Dean of Men's office in co
operation with the Department of Housing, Hamilton Hall will be,
divided into seven units. The division will be accomplished by fire
doors to be built across the hallways.
Each unit will house '7O to 80
men. Specifically, the separation
will work as follows:
A and B level will remain as
they are now. A level houses 76
men, B level 98.
First Floor Di;rided
First floor will be divided into
two units, with 80 men in one
unit and 71 in the other. Second
floor will also be divided into two
units, with 85 men in each.
Third and fourth floors will be
considered as one unit, housing a
total of 99 men.
West Dormitory upperclassmen
will be concentrated in Hamilton,
on a basis of four upperclassmen
to six freshmen. The other four
dorms in the West Dorm area will
house freshmen. Upperclassmen

FOR A BETTER PENN. STATE
Seven women will introduce
Lion Party candidates at frater
nity houses. They are Charlotte
Lutinski, Susan Coskery, Joan
Alfieri, Judith Hance. Virginia
Hance, Miriam J o n es, and Lee

Lion Party steering committee
and candidates will meet at 2 p.m:
tomorrow in 317 Willard.
Tomorrow night State Party's
All-University candidates will
visit Jordan, Irvin, Watts, Hamil
ton, and McKee Halls. Junior class
nominees will visit the Nittany
dorms tomorrow.
State Nominees to Speak.
At noon Monday, State Party's
All-University and junior class
candidates will speak at Tau Kap
pa Epsilon, Chi Phi, Delta Tau
Delta, and Kappa Delta Rho. Sen
(Continued on page eight)
will be housed in the Nittany-Pol
lock area as in previous years.
The 40-60 ratio will mean that
359 freshmen and 242 upperclass
men will be housed in Hamilton.
The capacity of Hamilton is 601
students. Under the new appor
tionment system, the number of
upperclassmen admitted to the
West Dorms will• remain at 240
students. The only change will be
that all upperclassmen will be
housed in Hamilton Hall.
Single Rooms for Counselors
Under the plan, counselors will
be moved from their present lo
cations into centrally-located sin
gle rooms in each unit. The pre=
sent counselor suites will be
turned over to the students on the
floors, to be used as study loun
ges.
The alternate plan that the ad
ministration had considered was
submitted by the West Dorm
Council. It called for upperclass
men to be housed exclusively in
McKee Hall. According to Otto
E. Mueller, head of the Depart
ment of Housing, this would have
involved raising the quota of Up
perclassmen admitted to the West
Dorms, or admitting freshmen to
McKee, because the capacity of
McKee is 275 men and the present
_quota_ is 240.

Reds Learn
Of H-Bomb
LONDON, April 2 (W)—The Russian people were told today
hydrogen bombs, such as those tested by the United States in the
Pacific, can destroy "the fruits of a thousand years of human toil."
Renewed emphasis by the Russians on the destructive nature of
the H-bomb aroused speculation iii Moscow and elsewhere over
improved chances for East-West
agreement on control of nuclear
weapons.
There were these additional de
velopments related to, the H
bomb:
1. Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru of India called for Russia
and the United States to agree on
a standstill pact which would bar
any more' H-bomb explosions.
Nehru said this agreement could
be reached in the UN disarma
ment commission.
2. Britain's top political lead
ers, both Conservative and Labor
sought to quiet growing alarm
over the H-bomb. Foreign Secre
tary Anthony Eden declared the
bomb in some respects could be
an instrument of peace—"an ap
palling warning to anyone who
should contemplate aggression."
The Soviet press approached the
subject Of destructive capabili
ties of the H-bomb by carrying a
resolution of the Communist
sponsored World Peace council in

hydrogen bomb tests had gotten
out of control.
The resolution said the peoples
of the world were despairing be
cause "s cie n c e has liberated
bound';® forces which can de
stroy the, fruits of a thousand
years of human toil." The resolu
tion called for immediate agree
ment of the big power s on
banning all kinds of mass anni
hilation weapons.
The significant factor of observ
ers in Moscow was that the Rus
sian people were being told again
of the U.S. tests in the Pacific.
Pravda had only mentioned the
tests once before. There have
been no reports in the Soviet press
of the H-bomb furor in Britain,
and the demands of British Labor
ites for a meeting of Premier
Georgi Malenkov, Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and President
Dwight D. Eisenhower to discuss
control of nuclear weapons.
Malenkov had warned previous
ly that an atomic war could mean
the destruction of civilization.
