The affair was termed “very successful” by Samuel Wol cott, sophomore class president. After the sophomores held their meeting, students from all classes saw a talent show and then danced to the music of Flip Lotz and his Elves, who donated their 'services. Eyeing the results of Satur day's event Wolcott said he hopes this paves the way for other class es to combine “business with pleasure” at their class meetings in the interest of more student participation. The date for the sophomore class dance was set for April 23, from 9 to midnight, in the HUB ballroom. Music will be provided by Jerry Keiler’s orchestra. The dance will have a centennial and birthday theme. A committee is working on a class project' of recognizing out standing freshman men and cit ing them for honors. The students will be selected on a basis of scholastic average and campus activities. The class officers were intro duced at the business meeting. The class advisory committee served as host for the mixer. Romig Named LaVie Editor Fred Romig, sixth semester business administration major, has been named editor of LaVie for the 1955-56 edition.

Coll Because of objections received from West Dorm Council on the time for election of officers, the elections committee has formu lated an amendment stipulating that only the president of the West Dorms must be elected in the spring. It further states that the presi dent may appoint, with the ad vice and consent of the council members, a temporary vice presi dent, secretary and treasurer to serve until permanent officers are elected at the second meeting of the council in the fall semester. Kennedy Approves Change James Kennedy, West Dorm Council president, said the provi sions stated in this revision were desirable because the West Dorms are almost exclusively for fresh men. If, he said, all the officers were elected in the spring se mester, there would be no fresh man representation on the execu tive committee for the next year. Kennedy said it was preferable to have an upperclassman for the office of president, but the other officers should be representative of the majority of the men in the area. Amendments by Majority The elections committee will also recommend that amendments to the code shall be approved by a majority of the elections com mittee instead of a two-thirds vote as is now stated in the code. The committee will also suggest that provisions be made for the election of representatives-at large. Has Simm, member of the elections committee, said he fav ored the idea of having represen tatives-at-large elected by a writ ten preferential ballot of the membership of the council or by written plurality ballot of the residents of the area. Part of this was formerly in cluded in the code, but at the first reading the board of gov ernors voted to delete it. When it first appeared in the code it provided that the representatives should be elected by a written plurality ballot rather than a writ ten preferential ballot and did not include the provision that repre sentatives could 'be elected by written plurality ballot of the res idents of the area. Meteorologists to Hear Address on Weather Charles P. Smith of the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. will speak on “Weather Is a Nation’s Busi ness,” at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow at a meeting of the American Me teorology Society in 26 Mineral Sciences. Smith was graduated from the electrical engineering curriculum at the University in 1932. He joined Pacific Gas and Elec tric Co. in 1937. Yalta Papers Release Slapped WASHINGTON, March 22 ( JP) —Sen. Lyndon Johnson (D.-Tex.) shouted to the Senate today that publication of the Yalta papers seemed to have been officially en gineered in a maneuver aimed at the Democrats. Johnson, Senate Democratic leader, said the circumstances un der which the records of the 1945 Roosevelt, Stalin and Churchill conference got out of the State Department and into print strong ly suggest official collusion. Vehement Speech The Democratic leader made a brief but vehement speech after Sen. William F. Knowland of California. Republican leader, had told the Senate: FOR A BETTER PENN STATE STATE COLLEGE, PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING. MARCH 23. 1955 80c Special Overpricing Admitted Food service officials yesterday admitted a mistake in setting the price on the student special served in the Terrace Room of the Hetzel Union Building. Miss Harriet L. Schupp, manag er of food sendee in - the HUB, said employees had erred in charging 80 cents for yesterday’s student special since it was four cents more than the cost a la carte. The same meal could have been purchased item for item for 76 cents. Apologies are all food service can offer, Miss Schupp said, and added there was no explanation for the mishap but that it “just happened.” She said it was the second time the a la carte price had been less than the special price since the HUB opened one week ago. Steps would be taken to check the prices each day, she said, and if the a la carte price was lower than the standard special rate of 80 cents, the price v'ould be drop ped or another item added to the special. Student complaints were fairly general over the incident, but these same students were eager to say this was the first fault they had found with the arrangement in the HUB. They praised the Terrace Room layout, equipment, and service and said the food had so far been very satisfactory. Frosh Class To Plan Dance The Freshman Centennial Dance and other future class activities will be discussed at a freshman class meeting at 7 tonight in 121 Sparks. Arthur Schravesande, freshman class president, said he will ex plain how the students can ob tain tickets for the dance. The possibility of holding a tal ent show or a mixer in the near future will be one of the main topics, according to Schravesande. The president will introduce other freshman class officers at the meeting. They are John Spangler, vice president, and Lynne Kinnier, secretary-treas urer. Armstrong Next For Jazz Club? A concert by Louie Arm strong may be the next proj ect sponsored by the Penn State Jazz Club. This was an nounced by John Valentine, president of the club, following the Dave Brubeck concert Fri day night in Recreation Hall. Valentine told the crowd of 1500 attending the concert that contracts for the Armstrong Concert were in the hands of the club. He said that the large attendance at the Brubeck con. cert assured the club of finan cial success in sponsoring Arm strong's appearance. “Any criticism that the publi cation of these documents was hasty, ill-advised or for serving an ulterior purpose cannot be substantiated by the facts.” Papers Compiled Knowland said Congress and the public were put on notice last year that the papers were being compiled for publication. Johnson recalled that a week ago yesterday Secretary of State Dulles, the official custodian of the papers, said their publication would adversely affect our se curity and our relations with our Allies. But two days later, he said, the papers were m the hands of one newspaper circumstances egtatt Kuhn Of Asian Infiltration, Subversion Designated as Problem Ferdinand Kuhn, noted author and correspondent, toM the Community Forum last night the great danger in South East Asia today is not armed aggression from Red China, but a program of quiet infiltration through propaganda and subversion.

"I offer this as evidence that we aren't the only ones with an eye toward labor saving de vices," Kuhn said. Co Id, Windy Weather Forecast for Today Today will be windy and cold er, the University weather station forecast yesterday. The drop in temperatures is ex pected because of the shift in winds which began yesterday af ternoon. The winds shifted from south to west. Ytesterday’s low was 37, and the high mercury reading was 48 de grees. Today’s temperatures are expected to range in the 30’s. which strongly suggest official collusion. He said there were indications that the papers had been care fully culled for ammunition to be used not against the Communists but against the Democratic party The New York Times obtained a copy of the documents last Tuesday and Dulles later ordered copies made available to all re porters. Johnson told the Senate that probably there have been mis takes made at Yalta, and added: “But if such there were, they appeared to have been based on the miscalculations of the mili tary leaders ... in Europe and in the Far East. Those miscalcu lations wesa Tells Forum Danger By DON SHOEMAKER subversion” Kuhn called on the United States to shift the empha sis of its aid from material help to building people. Kuhn based his observations on a trip he took last year in South East Asia around the 4000 mile border of Communist China, from Japan to India. - Glaring Weakness He said that the glaring weak ness in Southeast Asia today is that all those countries, without exception, lack effective govern ment and the machinery to hold it together. As an example of this weakness, Kuhn cited the lack of police power. “The police in these countries don’t have control over areas where they are supposed to keep law and order,” he said. He attributed this lack of pow er to the fact that the countries of Southeast Asia, with the ex ception of Thailand, have gained their independence within the last 10 years. “.Their discipline problems are the same as ours were in 1790, soon after we had gained inde pendence,” he l said. . Kuhn declared the lack of po lice power makes these countries easier marks for the Communist program of infiltration. At the same time, Kuhn said the appearance of what he called a “village revolution” movement in Southeast Asia could help stem the tide of subversion, if properly channeled. _ Kuhn described this “revolu tion” as based on ideas of local initiative and self-help. This revolution manifests itselt in many ways, according to Kuhn. “You see a road that used to have potholes filled with water which bred mosquitoes,” Kuhn said. “Today those roads have been smoothed and the holes have been filled.” There is nothing more the op posite of Communist goals this spirit of self-help, according to Kuhn.
