Monday he is definitely in favor of adopting a cut system in the college and said he felt if the University were really interested in classroom utilization, a better solution than Saturday classes is available. In discussing cuts, Euwema said "I have tried many times to get the faculty to adopt a cut system." He suggested the council recommend such a system and submit its proposals to him. Once he had such a recommendation in hi' it all I can." Closer Unity R.ecommended For Councils A recommendation wilL, be made that Pollock Council re word its constitution to bring Pollock an d Nittany Councils closer together, Howard Sauder, vice president of Pollock Coun cil, said last night. This recommendation will be made even if -Pollock Council re jects a proposed merger with Nit tany Council, he added. Sauder is chairman . of a Pol lock Council committee studying a proposal that Nittany and Pol lock Councils merge into an "East Dorm Council." Nittany Council has already in dicated approval of the proposed merger, while Pollock has placed it in the hands of Sander's, four man committee; Sauder said even if his - corn mitee rejects the plan to merge with Nittany, the committee will still recommend a new constitu tion for Pollock that would bring (Continued on page eight) ns Senate Counsel Post His resignation was accepted unanimously. The vote was 6-0, the same as that by which he was appointed special counsel only last Thursday. "I am completely satisfied in my own mina that I am thorough ly competent to conduct the pend ing inquiry objectively, impar tially and in fairness to all," Sears said in a statement given to re porters. "However, that is not the test. "The investigation must go for ward not only with the full confi dence of those involved but, :per haps more important, with abso lute confidence of the people." Sears' sudden withdrawal left the subcommittee just as far away as ever from the start of its in vestigation. Now a new special counsel must be found—and the senators no doubt will take spec ial pains to find a man whose impartiality cannot be. challenged. with the second highest number of votes will be AA vice presi dent.

We hope, though, to have the cooperation of all stu dents and we hope they will bear with us if there are any FOR A BETTER PENN STATE By ANN. LEH s hand, he promised "I will push Euwema said he believed a cut system would be a good thing and was sure many members of the faculty would agree with him. The dean responded favorably to an unlimited cut system for up perclassmen proposed by Otto Hetzel, sixth semester arts and, letters major. Hetzel's suggestion was that juniors and seniors who have, an All-UniVersity average above a. .1.5 or 2 be allowed unlimited cuts. It was this proposal that prompted the dean to suggest that council draw up the recommendations. When asked for the reasons for setting up Saturday classes in the LA college, Euwema said, "I think that classroom utilization is not the, prime aim of this thing." He said other systems could al low much more efficient use of classrooms. He cited one which would add another three hour se quence to the classrooms sched ule. Euwema said as far as he knew, the main '!educational" reason for having Saturday classes was , to stop long weekend trips, from Fri day at noon to Monday morning, that many students had been taking. He said that with Satur (Continued on page eight) Sears, 58, and. a former presi dent of the Massachusetts Bar Association, said he had resolved to bow out even before meeting with the senators this morning.

He added that he had no way of knowing whether Sears had drafted it while he was waiting in the ante room, and that he did not ask about it. Sears called a news conference for late afternoon at his Washing ton hotel, but announced later that he has canceled plans to meet reporters today. Today delays in the voting proce dure," Kohn said.
