AIM Board Proposes Suspensions The Association of Independent Men's Judicial Board of Review last night recommended suspen sion of three students and disci plinary probation for one student. The four students were accused of drinking, using disparaging language, denouncing the dormi tory counselors and the dean of men's office, and setting off a fire alarm in the Pollock area. All the incident.; have occurred since the beginning of the fall semester. Two of the students both sec ond semester engineering majors, had previously been placed on dis ciplinary probation. The board recommended that these two stu dents be suspended immediately upon the approval of the dean of men's office and that readmission could not be applied for until the spring semester Of 1956. - The third student placed on pro bation, a sixth semester engineer ing major, had not previously been before the board. Therefore, it was recommended that he be suspended with the provision that he could apply for readmission in the fall semester of 1955. The fourth student, a third se mester engineering major, also had not appeared before the boaid previously. It was recommended that he be given indefinite dis ciplinary probation.

The students may appeal their case to the dean of men's office. Spring Week HE-MAN DEADLINE The deadline for entering the He-Man contest has been extend ed until tomorrow noon.

More than 100 persons were killed and about 500 wounded in the first nine hours of fighting. The rebel organization of. for mer river pirates opened the bat tle early yesterday afternoon with mortar fire on the Premier's pal ace. For hours, shellfire rocked this French-Oriental metropolis of two million people. Once the city was called the "Paris of the East." Now it is an unkempt place packed with refugees from Com munist North Viet Nam. A square mile of the city has been put to the torch by the shoot Xilis Bugg VOL. 55, No. 128 STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 29, 1955 FIVE CENTS Leadership Course OK'd New Clinic to Be Prerequisite For Cabinet Positions After 1958 Pugh's Name Suggested For Reactor Mrs. Margaret T. Riley, wife of Alumni Secretary Ridge Riley, has suggested the new research reactor building be named after Evan Pugh, first president of the University. In a letter to the Daily Colle gian, Mrs. Riley said most cam pus buildings are named for peo ple who have made great contri butions to the University. She said the reactor building should be named for Pugh, who was known for his work in the field of scientific research. The letter was written in an swer to a Daily Collegian story concerning a petition which was circulated urging the reactor be named after Dr. Albert Einstein, world renowned physicist. Dr. Einstein died April 18. The petition was circulated as an experiment to test student opinion on the idea by Marilynn Zabusky, second semester secon dary education major. MiSs Za busky collected 200 signatures during the one day the petition was on the Waring Hall bulletin board.

First prize is the Pennsylvania State University award of $5O; second prize is the Forensic Coun cil prize of $25. Both winners will receive the John Henry Frizzell Award of Merit in Extempore Speaking. The competition has been held at the Univresity for more than 75 years and is believed to be the oldest college speaking con test of its kind. Following the retirement of John Henry Frizzell as head of the department of speech at the University in 1946, the contest was named in his honor. The final speaking contest will be open to the public. ing of open civil war T h e government announced early today the national army had captured seven strongholds of the rebellious former river pirates. As a police force the Binh Xu yen has controlled the South Viet Nam capital's gambling, prostitu tion and other enterprises. The fall of two of the strong holds cleared the army's road to the Binh Xuyen's headquarters in the refugee-crowded Chinese sub urb of Cho Lon. One government report said the headquarters of the rebel chief, Gen. Le Van Vien, had been destroyed. Earlier, the government had an nounced that the Binh Xuyen had been driven away from national army headquarters and national security police headquarters. An American stource, who de clined to be quoted by name, said FOR A BETTER PENN STATE All-University Cabinet last night set the wheels in mo tion for the establishment of a leadership training clinic next fall. Completion of the course will be a prerequisite for elec tion to the five cabinet offices after January 1, 1958. Cabinet also set up a committee to investigate the possi bilities' of reviving the defunct Community Forum. It is to report in two weeks. In setting up the leadership clinic, Cabinet recommended that freshman and sophomore class presidents taking office after September 1. 1957, enroll in the program..lt also advised the com ponent groups of Cabinet to amend their constitutions to make completion of the program a pre requisite for their "chief execu tives." Open to All The clinic will be a course open to all students for training in the functions of public office. Entrees will receive instruction in such things as student government structure, characteristics of a leader, and how an officer per forms his duties.. It will go into operation the second Wednesday of classes and will be held once a week for eight weeks. After a student has en tered, attendance will be com pulsory except for official Uni versity excuses. To Be Qualification Completion of the course will be a qualification in three years for All-University president, vice president, and secretary-treasurer, and for senior and junior class presidents. Cabinet also recommended that an attempt be made to obtain an endorsement of the program by the University administration and to have student transcripts show completion of the course. Forum Loses Kirk Garber, cabinet represen tative to the Community Forum, reported that the Forum lost $l5OO during the last season. He recommended that the Forum be expanded to include musical per formances, explaining that it pos sibly might be combined with the Community Concert Association. Garber also suggested that per haps students could be assessed fees to help support the Forum. Appointed to the committee to study the problem were Judith Pendleton, Robert Dennis, Phillip Beard, and Diehl McKalip. Gar ber was named chairman. Sparks Will Get' New Key System Materials have been ordered for the re-keying of the Sparks Build ing, which will begin sometinie in May. The cost, according to Ben Euwema, dean of the College of the Liberal Arts, will be from $5OOO to $6OOO. The re-keying was necessary, Euwema said, because many of the keys have been lost and fallen into the wrong hands. Premier Diem now had to meet the Binh Xuyen challenge "firmly and with force." "If he stops now he might as well resign because he will not be .able to govern again," the American said. In Washington Gen. T. Lawton Collins, special U.S. ambassador to South Viet Nam, reported to the White House a few hours after the fighting started. He was un derstood to have told President Eisenhower and a two-hour Na tional Security Council meeting that future American policy in Viet Nam could be affected dras tically by the outcome of the clash. The United States has been strongly supporting the Diem gov ernment as the best available choice to mold a strong South Viet Nam to withstand the chal lenge of the Comunist-held North. Totirgiatt Parking, Class Ring Discussed A new recommendation on the Shortlidge road traffic situation, discussion on class rings for two year students at University cen ters, and 16. appointments to All- University Cabinet committees were presented before Cabinet last night. Robert Dennis, retiring presi dent of the Association of Inde pendent Men, presented a three point recommendation on th e traffic problem on Shortlidge road Friday and Saturday nights. The recommendation, Dennis said, will be substituted for the one passed by Cabinet at its last meeting. Asks for Patrolmen The new recommendation asks for campus patrolmen to be sta tioned on Shortlidge road Friday and Saturday nights; that traffic and parking regulations on the road be strictly enforced; and that penalties for violations on Short lidge road be "drastically" in creased Friday and Saturday nights. This recommendation will re place the one Cabinet sent to Wal ter H. Wiegand, director of the physical plant, proposing Short lidge road be a one-way street. This proposal was rejected by Wiegand as being unfeasible and unworkable. Appointments Made Sixteen students were appoint ed to Cabinet committees by Earl Seely, All-University president, and approved by Cabinet. Robert McMillan was appointed chairman of the Registration Com mittee which will look into prob lems of seniors under the present system. Others appointed to the committee were Robert Bahren burg, Samuel Wolcott, and Arthur Schravesande.
