It is similar to that of Androcles, junior men's Attack Case To Receive No Action No action will be taken in the case of an alleged attack in a University library, 0. Edward Pollock, assistant to the dean of men in charge of fraternity af fairs, said yeSterday. Pollock said inVestigation of the ease has been dropped. Conflicting stories we r e re ceived by the offices of the dean of men and the dean of women in regard to the alleged attack, which took place before Easter recess. A woman student reported to the dean of women's office that she had been attacked in the library. When her alleged at tacker was called into the dean of men's office for an explanation he came up with an entirely dif ferent story. The only thing the two versions agreed on was where and when the incident took place. The man student denied mak ing any attack and said thq coed had made advances to him. After an investigation, Pollock said the woman student would be willing to withdraw char ge s against the man student. The case was then dropped, Pollock said. Blood Forms Due on Friday Blood donor pledge forms for the campus blood drive, to be held April 26 and 27 in the Hetzel Union Building, are due on Fri day.

Members will be chosen by a point system after application and interviewing by a screening board. Men who are second or third semester students with a 1.0 All-University average at the time of spring tapping are eligi ble. All fields of activities will be represented on the society which will include no more than 15 members. Charter Members Charter memberA include Sam uel Wolcott, chairman, and last year's 10 outstanding freshmen; Robert Bennett Forrest Craw-' ford, Frank Ely , 'Robert Gellman, William Johnson, Steven Jordan, Samuel Kahn, James Musser, Da vid Scott, and Robert Segal. The constitution for the so ciety was drawn up by the com mittee which was to select the 10 oustanding freshmen of this year. Committee members in cluded Barbara Hendel, chairman; David Scott, John Kersh, Jack Dimler, Marjorie Blank, Margaret Boyd, and Samuel Wolcott, ex officio member. The constitution will now go to the Senate Committee on Stu dent Affairs, subcommittee on organization control. No tapping plans will be announced until the Senate committee takes action, Wolcott said. No definite plans have been formulated as to how the new group will affect Druids, present sophomore men's hat society. However, Richard Packer, rep resenting Druids, suggested that the constitution of this group be revised to make the society an honorary group. This revision would automatically drop the so ciety from the council. No action was taken. The council also discussed re vising its constitution to make the grolip a center for campus projects. A meeting of the old and new councils on May 18 will be held to further consider this re vision. Smoot read the constitutions of the• local hat societies, except those of Mortar Board, Cwens, and Chimes which have national constitutions. No' revisions had been made. The council requires that the constitutions of its mem bers be reviewed yearly. Vernon Sones, chairman of the 1955 orientation program, an nounced that the incoming hat society members will be expected to participate in the counseling program of the fall orientation program. Foreign. Aid Bill Hits Snarl WASHINGTON, April 20 VII— President Dwight D. Eisenhower's new 3 1 / 2 -billion-dollat foreign aid program, a "save Asia" project, ran into a legislative snarl today a few hours after the message outlining it reached Congress. Chairman James P. Richards (D-S.C.) of the House Foreign Af fairs Committee announced that, contrary to custom, he is planning to postpone final committee ac tion on the authorization bill un til the full Senate has voted on it. House Expected to Act Sen. Walter F. George (D-Ga.), chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said he ex pected the House to act first. He told newsmen that until then his committee plans only incidental homdAgii. STATE COLLEGE PA., THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1955 Constitutions Read FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Petition Requests Reactor's Name Honor Einstein A petition calling for renaming the nuclear reactor at the Univer sity the Albert Einstein Nuclear Reactor, after the late Nobel Prize winner, has been signed by more than 200 students. The petition appeared on the Waring Hall bulletin board and was circulated in Thompson Hall Monday and yesterday. It reads: "We, the undersigned, think it fitting to dedicate the University's nuclear reactor to the memory of Dr. Albert Eir stein as a small tok en of remembrana. to one who has given so much of himself to the progress of science and to the world in general." The petition will be placed in the Hetzel Union Building today. It is expected that it will be brought before All-University Cabinet. The University Board of Trus tees must approve changes in names of University buildings. Dr. Einstein died early Monday morning. Campus Police Will Patrol Shortlidge Road Student patrolmen will be placed on duty from about 11 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.. Friday and Saturday nights on Shortlidge road begin ning this week, Captain Philip A. Mark of the Campus Patrol has announced. The patrolmen will be stationed to prevent auto congestion and tie-ups on the two-way road re sulting from many cars attempt ing to park in front of the wo men's dormitories bordering the road, he said. This action was taken by the University as an alternative plan to making the road one-way be tween midnight and 1:30 a.m. Fri day and Saturday nights, as rec ommended by All-University Cab inet. Walter H. Wiegand, director of Physical Plant, said Monday that Cabinet's plan would not solve the traffic congestion problem, but would add more problems to the situation. As a long-range plan to relieve the congestion, Wiegand an nounced that the Grange parking lot would be expanded this spring to hold 77 more cars. A limited supply of 1955-56 catalogues are available, on re quest at the scheduling office in the basement of Willard Hall. The remainder of the catalogues for distribution are expected to ar rive within the next two weeks. Cabinet Will Not Meet All-University Cabinet will not meet tonight. Most of the money requested by the President is to help free Asian countries stand firm against communism. Conditions in Europe are great ly improved, Eisenhower said in his message. He pointed to the creation of defense forces that "now constitute a significant de terrent to aggression." Threat in Asia "The immediate threats to world security and stability are now centered in Asia," he said., "The preponderance of funds re quested of the Congress will be used to meet the threat there." Richards told a news confer ence he planned to delay action on the program because he had heard from unnamed "influential" senators there is "grave doubt that the Senate will vote foc any Niatt Cole, Lieske Nominated For AIM Presidency; Wednesday Election Set Robert Cole, town independent, and Bruce Lim, bees. urer of the Association of Independent Men, were nominaioxl for the presidency of AIM at the Board of Governors meeting last night. Nomination speeches and elections wfli be held at TM - pm. Wednesday in 203 Hetzel Union at the regular board meeting. Raymond Rubner, town inde pendent, and Nelson Sidel, Pol lock representative-at-large, were nominated for the office of vice president. Leonard Richards, present sec retary of AIM, was the only nomi nee for next year's secretary. Martini Unopposed Harry Martini, president of Pollock council, was the only nominee for the office of treas urer. Robert 'Dennis, president, said nominations would be in order for the offices of secretary and treasurer next week since only one person had been nominated. He also said no further nomina tions could be made for president and vice president at the next meeting. Dennis said this practice is in keeping with the policies of other organizations on the campus. In reply to Rubner's objection that nominations be closed at last night's meeting, Thomas Kidd, AIM parliamentarian, said that in the past unfortunate results had ensued because candidates were nominated and elected at the same meeting. This practice, he said, does not give the governors an opportunity to check the quali fications of the nominees. Board Accepts Reports Before nominations, the board heard and accepted three annual reports; the National Indepen dent Student Association Week report, submitted by James Ken nedy, West Halls council presi dent;• firesides committee report, submitted by Norman Hedding, chairman; and finance committee report, submitted by Lieske. Has Simm, projects committee chairman,, submitted his commit tee report to the board for ap proval but the board did not ac cept all of Simm's recommenda tions. The board failed to accept Simm's suggestion that the board not hold the annual AIM-Leonides banquet at the HUB because of high prices. Kennedy's recommendations in his NISA Week report included: - 1. That 'it be continued as n permanent function. 2. That it be centered around either the Spring Week Dance or the Autumn Ball. The board will send letters of thanks to ministers who partici pated in the firesides programs. Recommendations in the finance Continued on page eight economic aid this year." Anyway, Richards said, his , committee is busy. "Vlou•t Waste Time' Richards said he did not want to "waste time" by having his committee approve a full program if the Senate knocks out economic assistance. ."The President's recommenda tion," he said, "will have the re spectful consideration of this committee." And, he added, the group would not delay long enough to postpone the adjourn ment of Congress. "While I personally believe there has to be an economic aid program in our own interest, cer tainly in Asia," Richards said, "I am a little distressed at the large figure given us in the President's message."
