Faure Asks Disbandment Of Assembly PARIS, Oct. 21 (R)—Premier Edgar Faure announced tonight he will ask the French National Assembly next week to approve its own dissolution so general elections can be held early in December. The Premier said he was tak ing this exceptional measure be eauseS-We,Nte:arriY4o6. at a nib- Inent where very important and very grave decisions must be taken which will 'engage the na tional political life and even the national life in its entirety for a long period." A new Assembly is needed to make such decisions, Faure de clared, so continuity can be as sured and the deputies will not be forced to act with one eye on a coming electoral campaign. Normally, the next elections would be held in June 1956, at the expiration of the five-year mandate of the Assembly. Never before in French history has a Legislature hastened its own end. And there is no assurance that this one will agree. One big stum bling block is that the present complicated election law is high ly unpopular: Coercion See Page 4 To Complete 26 Years Of Service University Provost Adrian 0. Morse, who has served in the administration for more than 26 years, yesterday an nounced his resignation effec tive "on or before June 30, 1956." Morse, who is 60 years old, said his reason for resigning was solely a desire for a "change" in occu pation. He said he intends to enter a "quite different field" where he could "meet new situa tions and think along new lines." Morse said he promised him self "many years ago" that when he reached 60—which he called a milestone in a man's lifetime—he would drop his present occupation and enter an entirely new field. He said he did not know what the new field would be, but added it would not be college adminis tration. Resignation Approved His resignation was approved "with great reluctance" in the Oct. 14 meeting of the executive committee of the University Board of Trustees. In a letter of Sept. 1 to Dr. Mil ton S. Eisenhower, president of the University, Morse said: "This is not the place to tell you how how much I shall miss Penn State, which has been my life for so long; to make this decision has not been easy. "So long as I live, thiF progress of Penn State will be close' to my heart." Eisenhower Replies In his reply Dr. Eisenhower said: "The committee has asked me t., express to you its profound gratitude for the years of devoted and inspiring leadership you have given the educationl program at Penn State. "For myself, I must say that after our nearly 30 years of friendship and collaboration—the last five and a half as colleagues here at Penn State—l find it dif ficult to realize you will no long er be available for constant coun sel and advice." Morse joined the administra tive staff in 1929 as executive sec retary of the University. He was appointed to the position by the late Dr. Ralph Dorn Hetzel, presi dent of the University from 1926 until his death in 1947. Named President's Assistant In 1935, in a reorganization of the president's office, Morse was named assistant to the president in charge of resident instruction, and in 1951, he became provost of the University. He served from 1951 to 1954 as assistant secretary of the Board of Trustees. Prior to his appointment to the University, he had served as as sistant to the U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. Fro.n 1922 to 1923, Morse was instructor in English at the Uni versity of New Hampshire; from 1923 to 1928 he was executive secretary of that university; and (Continued on page eight) Alpha Phi Delta =fined $25 by IFC Interfraternity Council Board . )I` Control fined Alpha Phi Delta . ;25 Thursday night for failing to register a third semester student whom it had pledged last May.
