Auker Asks GSA Construction
The state legislature has been
asked to halt all building pf the
General State Authority for five
years in a suggestion offered by
Representative Charles A. Auker

Press reported yesterday.
The GSA, a borrowing agency
of the state, finances some of the
educational construction at the
Resignation
Announced
By Dean
James W. Dean, assistant to
the dean of men in charge of in
dependent affairs, announced his
resignation yesterday.
Dean said he has accepted the
post of dean of students at Coe

Announces Resignation
college connected with the Pres
byterian church, has an enroll
ment of approximately 1000 stu
dents.
Dean, who came to the Univer
sity June 1, 1953, is in charge of
residence halls and independent
affairs and is adviser to the As
sociation of Independent Men.
He is also a member of the ex
ecutive board of the National In
dependent Student Association.
Before coming to the Univer
sity, Dean was guidance,counselor
and assistant principal of Midland
Public Schools. During World
War 11, he was a member of the
Flying Tigers of the 14th Air
Force, and discharged with the
rank of captain.
He received his BA in 1948 from
Grove City College • and was
awarded his MA in education and
guidance from Bucknell Univer
sity in 1950. He is presently work
ing on his doctor’s degree.
According to Dean, Mary E.
Brewer, former assistant dean of
women, will be the dean of wo
men at Coe. r
. No replacement for Dean has
been announced by the dean of
niettfBqfflce v
University, and Auker’s proposal
apparently would prevent future
construction of any classroom fa
cilities. University officials de
clined to comment.
Auker called his move an econ
omy measure and said he knew
the moratorium “will be very un
popular in some circles because
it would eliminate a lot of spend
ing.”
The proposal would prevent the
GSA from undertaking new pro
jects until after January 1, 1960.
Judging from past experience,
if such a move were made, the
construction program at the Uni
versity might be severely cur
tailed.
So far this year the GSA has
approved for the University the
addition of a wing to the student
health center,, at a cost of approx
imately $BOO,OOO. It has recently
approved the construction of a
new classroom building, but has
yet to let. the contract.

Traffic Action Set
Several Students
Fail to Appear
By TED SERRILL
Dean of Men Frank J. Simes announced
last night before All-University Cabinet that
disciplinary action will be taken to force
about 100 students to report to Traffic Court.
In doing so, Simes recommended postpone
ment of discussion on his prev:
Cabinet that specific action be
taken regarding the delinquent
violators. As long as a threat of
disciplinary action confronts the
students, Simes said, Cabinet
need take no action until it is
seen what the students’ reaction
is
Also figuring in Cabinet discus
sions was a request to send ob
servers to the National Student
Association regional convention
this weekend and a motion to al
low two-year students at Univer
sity Centers to buy class rings.,
Fourteen students were appointed
to committees.
100 Fail to Appear
Last Thursday Simes told Cab
inet that despite notices to stu
dents to appear at Traffic Court,
about 100 have failed to do so.
Cabinet defeated a motion to
send several students as observers
to the National Student Associa
tion regional convention at St.
Vincent College, Latrobe,. this
weekend. The request was made
by Philip Beard, All-University
secretary-treasurer.
The motion was opposed by
Myron Feinsilber, chairman of the
Board of Publications, and Sam
uel Wolcott, sophomore class pres
ident, because they felt the Uni
versity is larger than most of the
colleges in the association. There
would be no point in sending ob
servers there, they argued, be
cause colleges as large as the Uni
versity rarely gain anything from
NSA regional participation.
Ask Observers to National
Rather than send anyone to a
regional convention, they said, it
would be better to send observers
to the National convention' this
summer, Robert Smoot, eighth
semester chemical engineering
major, told Cabinet that even if
the University sent anyone to the
national convention, it wouldn’t
be as observers, since the Univer
sity is technically still a member
of NSA because dues have been
paid through the fall.
The motion was almost unani
mously opposed.
A second motion was passed by
Cabinet last night. It granted a
modified type of class ring to 200
graduating, two-year students at

In 1950, approximately $lO mil
lion was allotted the University
through GSA for construction of
new buildings' and additional
units to others. Some of the build
ings which were expanded that
year are Main Engineering, Buck
out Laboratory, Mechanical En
gineering, Pond Laboratory, and
Whitmore Laboratory. 1
It was also in 1950 that con
struction was started on the south
unit of Recreation Hall, the Pat
tee Library wing, and the Agri
cultural laboratories and green
houses.
The GSA, in 1938, approved ap
proximately $5 million for the
University. Pattee Library was
expanded that year also. Other
buildings which received addi
tional units were Sparks, Bur

Sovereignty Secured
By West Germany
BONN, Germany, May 5 (JP) —The West German Republic won
sovereignty today and immediately pledged it will “never rest”
until it gains freedom for the 18 million Germans in the Soviet Zone.
Chancellor' Konrad Adenauer’s government stressed that the
jubilation of its 50 million citizens at the ending of the 10-year
Halt
Western occupation is clouded by
what he called the slavery of
East Germany.
American, British, and French
renunciation of supreme authority
over the Bonn Republic at noon
was the crowning achievement of
the 79-year-old Chancellor’s ca
reer.
But opposition Socialist resent
ment was so bitter over Adenauer
having tied up West Germany in
the NATO alliance that he did not
personally announce the grant of
sovereignty in Parliament.
Warned that the Socialist'depu
ties would walk out if he appear
ed, Adenauer forwarded a brief
statement that Bundstag Presi
dent Eugen Gerstenmaier read
this afternoon.
Only a dozen of the 151 Social
ist deputies were in the chamber.
They sat grimly with folded arms
while government supporters ap
plauded Gerstenmaier.

Group Suggests
50-Cent Charge
The committee appointed by All-University
Cabinet to try to revive the defunct Com
munity Forum recpmmended last night that
students be assessed 50 cents a semester to
support a new “

By RON LEIK
‘Forum.” The report was tabled
k to let representatives discuss
the proposal with their groups.
Cabinet also heard a financial
report on the Birthday Ball, soph
omore class dance, which was held
April 23. Samuel Wolcott, sopho
more class president, said that the
dance expenses ran to $248, well
under the $4OO budget.
Diehl McKalip, retiring chair
man of the Board of Publications,
submitted the Community Forum
Committee report. He said if each
student were charged 50 cents a
semester, the organization would
have approximately $12,000 a
year to work with, McKalip read
the report for Kirk Garber, chair
man of the committee.
Forum Tinancially Impossible'
As the Forum was set up in
the past, McKalip said it has
proved “financially impossible” to
continue its operations.
“And convinced,” he continued,
“that Penn State students should
have access to a varied cultural
program of speakers, musicians,
and other entertainers, be it re
solved that Cabinet set up a new
organization to implement the
program.”
The new organization would be
called the Penn State Series, the
committee suggested.
Suggests 'Performers with Class*
McKalip said the committee had
in mind obtaining “performers
with class but also with culture”
to create an interest in the pro
posed Series.
The question was raised of whe
ther the committee expects to ac
commodate an audience of 12,000
persons, since every student
would be entitled to attend each
performance.
McKalip said that all students
also may attend the sporting
events held at the University, but

stroy chances of negotiating with
Moscow for Germany’s reunifica
tion, declared:
“The end of the occupation is
no cause for rejoicing. We shall
only be sovereign when Germany
is again united in freedom. This
is the most urgent task of the
entire German people.”
Adenauer’s government pro
claimed:
“There is for use in the world
only one place: on the side of
the free peoples.
“Our aim is: In a free and unit
ed Germany.”
To Germans in the Communist
ruled East, it declared: “You be
long to us. We belong to you. The
joy of our restored freedom is
clouded so long as this freedom
remains denied to you.”
Across the Iron Curtain, the
East German government news
agency ADN declared that actual
ly “only the name but not the
nature of the foreign occupation,
of West Germany is changed.”
