PAGE 'MM Cadets Will Debate Controversial Topic ' The United States Military Academy at West Point will debate the controversial national debate topic on recognition of Communist China, the Syracuse Daily Orange reported last week. No report was available yesterday from the Naval Academy at Annapolis as to whether it will continue the ban on the topic. Students at both academies were forbidden by military authori ties last month to debate the na tional topic "Resolved: That the United States should extend dip lomatic recognition to Communist China." 'Chest' Group Will Sponsor Jam Session Max Kaminsky and his Dixie land Bashers will play at a jam session in February for the bene fit of Campus Chest, Ann Leder man, special events chairman, said last night. Kaminsky, who has been play ing Dixieland jazz for college stu dents for years, is now touring the country with what he calls his "Jazz on the Campus." Tickets will go on sale the first of next semester, Miss Lederman said. They will be $1 per person. Proceeds will be added to the $4OOO collected in the recent cam paign, Ellsworth Smith, general chairman, said. This year's goal is $7250. Kaminsky's most recent jazz recordings are "Ugly Chile," "Shim-Me-Sha-Wabble," and "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate." Kaminsky has played in Dixie land groups in many New York night clubs including "Nick's" and "Eddie Condon's." He also played with Tommy Dorsey, Glenn Mil ler, and Artie Shaw. Hank D'Amico, one of Kamin sky's clarinetists, was featured in Red Norvo's and Bob Crosby's bands and is now on the staff with the American Broadcasting Company. George T. Simon, editor of Metronome, said "J az z on the Campus" was created because the "most intelligent and appreciative audiences for real, honest-to-good ness jazz can be found on the col lege campuses." Lit Prof Hes..ds Phi Beta Ka •y pa A. Pauline Locklin, associate professor of English literature, has been elected president of Lambda chapter of Phi Beta Kappa, schol astic honorary society. Other officers named at the an nual meeting last week included, Dr. Ira V. Brown, associate pro fessor of American history, secre tary; and Charles J.

Coll- .e Ave. Army Officials The army officials last week no tified Syracuse University debate coach, J. Edward McEvoy, that West Point will debate the topic. The national controversy began in October when the Department of the Army issued an official statement banning the debate topic stating that it was against army policy to let cadets debate a controversial subject on which na tional policy is already established. The Naval Academy said that debating the affirmative side of the topic would lead to indoctrin ation of communist philosophy and party line. 5 College Presidents The controversy increased when five college presidents declared their students would not debate the topic. Other schools consid ered banning the topic or suggest ing a substitute topic. West Point suggested as an alternative topic "The Merits of Agricultural Sub sidies." A ten-page report from the As sociated Collegiate Press to 600 college campuses indicated that the campus editorial opinion is "overwhelming in protest against restriction of the official debate topic," the Daily Orange reported. The Penn State Forensic Coun cil sent a resolution protesting the ban to the Speech Association of America, the group which selects the national intercollegiate debate topics. Resolution "The ban is opposed," the reso lution declared, "to the best in terests of the nation, debate, and the ideals of democratic free speech." The Daily Collegian yesterday sent a letter to the Military Aca demy asking why the ban had been lifted and for an outline of the team's plans for the year. A letter was also sent to the Naval Academy asking if it would fol low Army's lead. Court Levies $25 On Six Violators Six student traffic violators were fined a total of $25 last night by Traffic Court. Five students were either dismissed or suspend ed by court. Of the six violators, one was a first offender, three were second violators and two were third vi olators. Mark Wiener, court chairman, again issued a warning that any student planning on having his car on campus for a period of three weeks or longer, whether or not he is going to receive a parking permit, must register the car with the Campus Patrol office. Wiener also reminded students about Campus Patrol's change in policy regarding parking area 50. The entrance to this area is no longer part of the legal parking area, he said. THE DAILY COLLEGIAN. STATE COLLEGE. PENNSYLVANIA Grievance Discussions Postponed The meeting of the three-man grievance panel, formed last sum mer to hear the grievances of University service employees, has been postponed until tomorrow. .The panel originally was to have convened today through Sat urday, but the sessions were post poned at the request of Saul Wallen, panel chairman. Univer sity and union officials were un able to give a reason for the post poned last night. The first two sessions of the panel meeting will be held tomor row and Saturday at the Nittany Lion Inn. No information was available last night on whether the third session will be held Sun day or Monday. The panel was originally con vened at the request of Local 67 State, County and Municipal em ployees of the American Federa tion of Labor. However, when several mem bers of that group voted to dis affiliate in October and were chartered as Local 417 Building Service Employees International, A. F. of L., the new group re quested that the panel be trans ferred to its sponsorship. Officers of Local 417 claimed their union should sponsor the panel because it represented the same people that were formerly under Local 67. Alter conferences with both unions and the University, • at the last panel meeting in November, it was decided that both unions should present grievances concur rently, and that individual griev ances will be presented by the group of the employees' choice. Witnesses to testify before the panel will be given time off from their jobs without loss of pay. Members of the panel include Wallen, Sidney A. Handler, rep resenting the union; and Eric A. Walker, dean of the College of Engineering an d Architecture, representing the University.

McLanahcin's OPEN EVERY NIGHT TILL 9 Ag Are Students enrolled in the agricultural engineering curricu lum are now considered members of the College of Agricul ture and the College of Engineering and Architecture and are represented on both student councils. The curriculum was formerly a member of the agriculture college but not of the engineering and architecture college. This is the result of a plan ap proved by the executive commit tee of the Board of Trustees which brought the agricultural engineer ing program under joint adminis tration of both colleges. ICCB To further combine the two groups, the Engineering Student Council voted to give the agricul tural engineering department full representation on the council. This action was taken when the council approved the Inter-college Council Board's recommendations on the subject. The agricultural engineering de partment will now be granted full representation on both Engineer ing and Agricultural Student Councils. Since the motion con stitutes constitutional amendment, final action will be pending on a second vote at the next meeting of the council. The joint administration, ac cording to Frank W. Peikert, head of the department of agricultural engineering, will help bring the University's program in line with work offered at many other uni versities. It is also considered a step in obtaining accreditation for the program in agricultural engi neering from the Engineering Council for Professional Develop ment. The joining of the two groups will put the department under the joint administration of both col leges. In other action, the 'Agriculture Student Council passed a plan proposed by the ICCB to split the twenty-five cents paid each se mester by students in agricultural engineering between the Engi-, neering Student Council and it self. Even-Split Plan The council decided on the even split plan instead of alternating the fund between the two coun cils each semester. The latter plan was ruled out because the council thought that the change in en rollment over a semester might make an unequal split in the money. the Vitruvius Architectural. So ciety.
