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."

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.

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.

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.
