PAGE TWO BARBARA ESTEP, seventh semester arts and letters major, and Paul Zrowka, president of the International Relations Club, dis cuss the Geneva Conference with Robert Oliver, head of the speech department, after his talk to the club. Oliver attended the con ference in Switzerland where he served as an adviser to the Republic of Korea delegation. Reds Winning Asia, Indo-China - Oliver Communists are winning the cold war and taking control of Southeast Asia and Indochina, Robert T. Oliver, head of the Speech department, said, in a speech to the International Relations Club. Oliver’s talk was based on his nine weeks in Switzerland at the Geneva Conference as the adviser to the Korean delegation. Oliver said he came away from the conference feeling very de- pressed at the lack of unity among the democratic delegations and at the outlook for world oeace. During the conference the 16 major democratic nations held a meeting each morning to discuss their stand on issues, agreeing to support the decision as a body at the convention, he said. However, the partnership agreements were violated and the democratic dele gations lost their unity, Oliver said. Britain’s Anthony Eden, one of the offenders, violated the United States’ settlement proposal to have a North Korean election un der the supervision of the United Nations, thus allowing the. North Koreans to Have a free vote. Oli ver said Eden proposed an elec tion supervised by only five na tions which would be selected at the Geneva Conference. Oliver said Eden’s reply to questions from the other demo cratic delegations that Britain must look out for herself and fol low her own policies to keep in favor with public opinion was a direct reflection of the general atmosphere at Geneva. “All over the world,” Oliver said, “the democratic governments are in control by a small ma jority. Peace, progress, and pros perity are the promises of both sides.” Elected officials hesitate to place their election in jeopardy by taking strong political stands (Continued on page eight) By ALICE GRUBB Cold Wave Due Tq Hit Campus Yesterday’s rains, the first to fall since last Wednesday, herald ed a cold wave which is scheduled to send the mercury tumbling to the freezing mark this evening.

PENNSYLVANIA Co-Captains Ask Good Conduct For Penn Game In an effort to prevent a re currence of last year’s aftermath of the Penh state-Pennsylvania football game, James Garrity and Don&ld Balthaser, football team co-captains, have asked students, in a letter to the Daily Collegian, to conduct themselves in a man ner that will be favorable to the University. The letter stated: “No matter when or where the football team travels, the conduct of the players, both on and off the field, reflects back on the University. “Naturally, the conduct Of the students also is subject to much criticism; therefore, we sincerely hope that the action taking place this weekend at Philadelphia will be favorable. “We know that everyone is anticipating a big weekend, but let’s all have fun in a way that Will not bring discredit to our University.” Library Plans Special Room On Humanities In coopertaion with the Liberal Arts College, the Pattee Library plans to open a Humanities room which will house a collection of books dealing with classics in lan guage ancl literature. The principal purpose of the room will be. to make more books available to undergraduate stu dents and to house all . the books on these related subjects in one roonl. The use of this room is not confined to those in the College of the Liberal Arts. Ralph W. McComb, University librarian, said 1 although material will be adde to the room through out the semester it will not be fully equipped until the begin ning of the second semester. De cisions on what the room is to contain are responsible for the delay! The room is located on the first floor of the new left wing of the library, to the left of the open shelf room. The room originally was to be used as an extra student reading room. The books will probably be of the circulating and non-circulat ing types, depending on their val ue. McComb expressed the hope that students vifill not abuse these library facilities. Ag Council Opposes NSA Appropriation Agriculture Student Council went on record Tuesday night as opposing a $lOO appropriation for National Student Association. Last year the University became;a member of'NSA, which is also a member of'lnternational Student Association. Upon gaining membership All-University Cabinet voted'to NSA $6OO of the $l5OO it holds for student councils. The $l5OO is to be divided by cabinet among the nine councils represented. Agriculture Council feels that its budget is as tight as it can possibly manage now. This, it claims, is partly clue to the $6OO appropriation made to IJSA last year. NSA has requested the $lOO to pay its national dues in order to have sufficient additional cards for the year’s activities. However, council decided that, since they are already running over their budget, they could not stand any further loss. At present council is receiving $lOO from cabinet and twenty five cents from each student en rolled in an agriculture curricu lum. This does not meet expenses so they will have need for be tween $2OO and $3OO a year from the agriculture activities fund. This fund had been in the hands of the faculty until last year when it was turned over to the council to help cover their expenses. Cabinet Report Given Further business of the meet ing included the cabinet report by George Williams, president, of the council. Williams stated that he thought the hew system for making recommendations for com mittees would give more people from agriculture a chance to get on these committees. Fees to be paid to council by all the clubs represented were announced. A committee report on Howdy Night was given, and improvements for next year were discussed. Ag Hill Party Discussed A discussion of plans for the Ag Hill Party was led by Daryl Hfeasley, general chairman. The party will be held in Recreation Hall November 13.
