mutual defense pact under which America will help equip and train the armed forces of this stra

The Soviet Union, India. and -Egypt have denounced the pact, but both Washington and Karachi
officially proclaimed it another step to consolidate the strength of the free world. This was an obvious
reference to the menace of Com
munist aggression.
Both the United States and Pak

rgiatt
The Board of Trustees has passed a new plan for the regu
lation and fining of faculty members, staff employees, and
graduate students who violate campus parking restrictions.
The approved plan will be part of a progress report sub
mitted to All-University Cabinet tonight by Mark Weiner,
newly appointed Traffic Court chairman.
Weiner will present a four-point
plan tonight for a change in the
use of money collected from vio
lations, ,the system of fining vio
lators, the membership of Traffic
Court, and the registration of cars
on campus. The plan was basi
cally drawn up by James Dunlap,
former - head of the Court.
Committee on Report
The new fining system is the
outcome of a three-man commit
tee made up of Ernest B. McCoy,
director of athletics; Walter H.
Wiegand, director of the depart
ment of physical plant; and Os
siari R. MacKenzie, dean •of the
College of Business Administra
tion, which advised that such
violators be fined in a manner.
similar to that enforced on under
graduate violators. Weiner said
the fining sysem for faculty and
staff members has not been de
termined yet, but graduate stu
dents will be tried with Under
graduate violators.
$1297 Collected
The first part of Weiner's pro
posal will be a plan for the distri
bution of money collected by the
court from violators. During the
period from September to May
12, the court - collected $1297,
Weiner stated.
The bulk of this sum was col
lected during the second semester.
From September to February
$251 was collected; from Febru
ary to May 12,' $1046 was col
lected. Seventeen cars were sent
home, and 35 students were
placed on probation.
Money which is collected by
the court has been gisien to the
inter-class budget system in the
past helping to pay the costs of
student government and similar
student .activities.
Weiner's proposal will ask that
50 per cent of this money be
placed-in a fund next year for the
building of student parking areas,

Emerson Society
Submits Proposals
Emerson Society, student group of the Unitarian faith, submitted
a list of proposed changes for the new University Christian Associa
tion to Harold K. Schilling, chairman of the Penn State Christian
Association committee, yesterday.
Revisions included in the proposal call for substituting "Believ
ing in the principles taught by Christ . . ." for "BelieVing in God in
carnate in Jesus the Christ . . ."
in the statement of orientation in
the new groups' working papers,
and altering the qualifications for

working papers.
' The membership requirement
states "Any denomination or stu
dent religious organization con
sidered Protestant as that term
is defined by the National Coun

gible. The • revision would have
the requirement read "Any de
nomination or student religious
organization considered Protes

Truths . . ." for "to proclaim the
Gospel . . ." in the purposes of the

High Number
Of Conflicts
Is Explained
An explanation for the numtmr
of conflicts which have occurred
in this semester's examinations
was offered yesterday by Ray V.
Watkins, scheduling officer.
Watkins said a major cause of
conflicts is the shortened exam
ination period this semester.
Usually the exam period is eight
or nine days.
This semester it is only seven
and-one-half days.
Another reason for the conflicts
is that all senior grades must be
turned in by June .2. This leaves
only six. times to schedule exams
if seniors do not wish to take more
than two exams on one da y.
Classes with .seniors in them have
all had to be scheduled either
May 29, 31, or June 1.
Also there are approximately
225 courses with multiple sections
totaling over 1000. These multi
ple sections involvq some students
several times, so almost 40,000
cases must be taken care of, Wat
kins said.
Watkins explained that with all
the individual cases to be taken
care of, the scheduling office has
quite a job.
Graduation instructions
Graduation instructions for
seniors have been issued by
David H. McKinley, University .
marshall. Seniors may pick up
the instructions in the offices
of their respective deans.
this time that the name of the
new group be changed, Conrad
Trumbore, society president, said
yesterday. Sunday night the so
ciety decided that unless the
working papers were changed to
allow Unitarians to join, it would
seek to have the group's name
changed to a "less misleading"
one. The- society said University
Christian Association would be
in appropriate since Unitarians,
Roman Catholics, and o t her
groups which consider themselves
Christian would not be included.
However, Trumbore said, the
group felt that any hopes of com
promise between the Emerson So
ciety and the PSCA committee
might be hindered if such action
were taken at the present time.
Dean Schilling could not be
eached for comment yesterday.
