Seven Colleges Elec
Council Members;
Voting Turnout Poor
With voting mediocre at best, seven student council elec

day elections with a 40 per cent voting percentage registered
by the College of Home Economics being the highest.
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.
Disciplinary probation provides
that if the student appears before
the board a second time he would
be subject, to expulsion from the
University.
The students may appeal their
case to the dean of men's office.

New Clinic to Be Prerequisite

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.

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

been driven away from national
army headquarters and national
security police headquarters.

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.

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
