Suggestions in the statement were: the ettablishment of fresh man and sophomore class advisory boards; better communication be tween freshmen and upperclass men, possibly by a change in the Orientation Week program; bet ter and more diverse recreational facilities; and further, extension and use of Cabinet Personnel In terviewing .'Committee. 'Makes No Promises' It also states that the "Campus party also recognizes the inability of the University to cope with the present parking problem, due to the limitations in the present physical plant, an d therefore makes no promises concerning this problem." It further states that "we (the party) again will strive to carry out our suggestions as we have in the past and will continue our policy of no rash promises, which we know cannot be fulfilled." Lion States Purpose Thomas Dye, Lion party clique chairman, told the Daily Collegian last night that his party "believes that the purpose of a political party is not only to elect candi dates, but also • to bring student problems to the attention of everyone. "We're not trying to kid the student body; we can't tell the administration what to do; but we can and, if elected, we will, move in All-University Cabinet to recommend that freshman vet erans over 21 years of age' be allowed cars on campus; move in Cabinet to recommend the in itiation of intercollegiate coed sports; and move in Cabinet to recommend a loud speaker sys tem at Beaver Field for play-by play description of the games." Campus Cites Accomplishments The Campus statement a 1 s o mentions accomplishments of the party since sweeping the elections last spring. The statement claims the party instituted regular office hours in the Hetzel Union Building for elected Campus candidates; the establishment of advisory boards for the junior and senior classes; that "definite action will be com ing" in regard to better living conditions for town independent men; and that CPIC "Is being used almost exclusively to secure qualified people who' would not normally get an'opportunity, thus eliminating the political "spoils system'." Elections of freshman and soph omore class officers will be held Nov. 10 and 11 in the basenient of the HUB. Girman Unification Talks Proposed GENEVA, Nov. 1 (EP)—An East German delegation pro posed to the Big Four foreign ministers today that talks be tween East and West Ger many be held soon to prepare for free elections to unify a neu tralized Germany. Western diplomats viewed the proposal, backed by the Soviet Union, as nothing more than a new propaganda bid. This view was reinforced by re ports from a special briefing giv en the entire Cdmmunist press here by a Soviet spokesman who said "there will be no German re unification" at the Big Four for eign ministers conference. The East German proposal was FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Mitchell Expresses Faith in Economy Secretary of Labor James P. Mitchell last night expressed his faith in a bright fu ture in the development of an economy of technology in industry and said he sees "auto mation" as bringing a higher standard of living instead of extensive unemployment. Mitchell's speech in Schwab Auditorium closed the third annual Career Day of the Col lege of Business Administration. Following his talk Mitchell answered questions on a guaran teed annual wage, the Taft-Hartley Law, and the New Deal. Stressing the development.of technology in industry, Mitchell said there is a growing accent upon the technician in the modern age. Engineers of all kinds are in great demand James P. Mitchell Addresses Career Day Make-Up Classes Set for January 4 The schedule for making up classes missed for the Penn week end half-holiday was announced yesterday by the scheduling of fice. The decision was made by the Council of Administration. Classes will begin at 8 a.m. Wednesday, Ja n. 4, following Christmas vacation, instead of at 1:10 p.m. as originally scheduled. Saturday morning class sched ules Will be followed o'h that Wednesday morning. Mild Weather Forecast; Possible Showers Seen Today's weather is forecast to continue mild with increasing cloudiness and possible showers late in the afternoon or evening, according to the department of meteorology. The temperature reached a high of 59 degrees yesterday with a low of 32. The high for today is expected to be approximately 57. LaVie Activities Staff The LaVie activities staff will meet at 8 tonight in 412 Old Mairl. filed by its observer secretariat while the foreign ministers took a one-day recess. It appeared aimed at influencing German national opinion and Western quarters said that, as it stands, it is certain to be rejected. The full text of the 24-page pro posal is not to be released until tomorrow. In substance, it would bring East and West German par liamentary representatives toge ther, ignoring the Bonn govern ment's adamant refusal to talk to its Communist rivals. Proposals Listed An East German spokesman said the proposal suggested these moves for elections and reunifica tion: 1. Formation of an all-German Council for the East German Volkshammer lower house and the West German Bundestag, also rgiatt By PAT HUNTER and will continue to be in de mand, he said. "The special skills that the economy will require will have an effect upon the composition of the work force. Unskilled work ers are in less demand. Semi skilled workers are growing in number. Skilled workers are on the increase—but not just to tend a separate and isolated step in production," he said. • However, he said that the in creased emphasis upon technical and scientific training to meet ex panding needs should not make us lose sight of a great need for a liberal education. The broader the base a worker has in the arts and social sciences the better able he is to specialize later on, he said. 'Arts Neglected' "Nearly all of us," Mitchell said, I"have run into people who have had technical or scientific skill 'but had so neglected the arts that they did not know how to express themselves most effectively con cerning the subjects in which they did- have competence. We need a combination of both practical and liberal education to meet the needs of tomorrow. That is ex actly what the land-grant colleges were established to provide." Mitchell warned against losing sight of the importance of the human being as an individual. The de-humanization of de-per sonaliztion of man by totalitarian systems is well known, he said. Their creators felt that the ma terial well-being of the people could be brought about without regard to individual dignity or spiritual values, he added. Automation No Threat In the question and answer per iod after the speech, Mitchell said automation would make for a higher standard of living. He cit ed as his reason the fact that the rise of productivity is not greater now than in the 1920'5, despite a tremendous increase in technol ogy. He said there would' be some temporary readjustment but pre dicted higher levels of employ ment in the long run. Asked his views on the guaran teed annual wage, Mitchell said the worker wants a reasonable assurance of job stability. If this is given him, he said, he will be happy. He said that President Dwight D. Eisenhower has recommended (Continued on page eight) lower house, to be composed of "representatives of all democratic parties and organizations." 2. The all - German Council would tackle the problem of "co operation in internal German re lations" between the two repub• lies. ' 3. The final task of the Council would be to prepare for "German unity through free elections." Germany Would be Neutral 4. A reunited Germany woul,l be bound not to join either West ern or Eastern military blocks but to remain neutral. 5. All military forces of the Big Four powers would be withdrawn from German territory. 6. "Social achievements" of the East German Communist system as well as capitalist ways of lif' in West Germany would be pre served after reunification. Honor System— Future Possibility See Page 4 Infirmary Releases Crash Victim Alexander Christie, freshman in civil engineering from Philadel phia, has been released from the University infirmary and is at tending classes. Christie was the driver of the car involved in the accident in which William McGarvey, fresh man in chemistry from Philadel phia, was killed. Dean of Men Fiank J.
