AIM Board Urges Probation for Three In Drinking Cases The Association of Independent Men's Judicial Board of Review last night recommended to the dean of men's office that a sophomore from the Pollock area be put on office and judicial probation, and that two freshmen from the Nittany area be put on office probation. In the first case, the counselor found a nearly empty pint and a nearly full fifth of whiskey in the student's room on the morning of Nov. 6. The student said that he had invited three friends from Pitt Poster Competition Is Canceled A poster contest sponsored by Alpha Phi Omega, national serv ice-fraternity, which was planned for Saturday before th e Pitt game has been conceled. Douglas Moorhead, a member of Alpha Phi Omega, requested permission for the contest from Ernest B. McCoy, dean of the College of Physical Education and Athletics, and was refused by McCoy for several reasons. Against University Policy McCoy said a poster contest held at Beaver Field prior to a game is against general Univer sity policy. He gave as another reason the fact that there would be enough confusion at Beaver Field Saturday without the added confusion of a poster contest. Mc- Coy also said that after the con test there would be no adequate place to put the posters and they might be strewn around the sta dium and field. Alpha Phi Omega originally planned to hold the contest to improve and increase the Penn State-Pitt tradition. The contest was to be open to any group on campus. To Be General Contest William Stiffler, chairman of the committee on the poster con test, said the contest was to be a general poster contest with little regard to size or content. Stiffler said the planned theme for the contest was the Pitt-Penn State rivalry and the Centennial year. He said the entries were to be divided into two categories; comic and general following of the theme. Two Prizes Would Be Given According to the plans, two prizes would be given for each of the two categories—first and second prizes with a cup or plaque or the money equivalent for each prize. Groups could get the money equivalent so that dormitory groups would be able to divide the prize if they entered and won. Stiffler said the group is not planning another event to take the place of the poster contest. Campus Ban Set On P.A. Systems The use of public address sys tems on campus has been prohib ited by the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs and secretary of the committee, said yesterday the ban, which is effective during all hours, applies to all organizations and individuals. Formerly, public address sys tems could be used during non class hours. Kenworthy said violators of the ban could be penalized by the appropriate disciplinary bodies. The ban was requested by All- University Cabinet. TODAY'S WEATHER WINDY AND COLDER Philadelphia here for the Syra cuse game, and that they brought the pint with them. Most of this, he added, was drunk at the game. He also said that he and one of the friends later that day went to Bellefonte where they pur chased the fifth. He denied buy ing the whikey, saying that his friend made the actual purchase. However, he admitted drinking some of the whiskey. The student was not inebriated and is legally allowed to drink. Although he said he did not know exactly how the fifth was found in his room early the next morn ing by the counselor, he freely admitted being responsible for the actions of his guests. The second case also involved a drinking incident. Two fresh men had been drinking at a down town bar and after being inebri ated they returned to the dormi tory. There they exhibited dis orderly conduct in the form of loud singing and shouting. The students denied that any of the other students in the dorm had any special objections to their ac tions, and said that none of them complained about being dis turbed. The students also said that they had not been specifically exposed to the University regulations on drinking in the dormitories and the possession of alcoholic bev erages on campus. Some controversy also arose in this case about whether or not students should be merely warned the first time they violate these drinking regulations. The two stu dents said that they were under the impression that this would be the case in their incident. Board prbbation puts the stu dent uncler the surveillance of the dean of men's office.

West Rejects Soviet Security Pact GENEVA, Nov. 15 ( 1 1 3 )—The Western Allies turned down European security pact based tonight a new Soviet bid for a European• security pact based on the continued division of Germany. They also rejected a draft dec laration by Soviet Foreign Minis ter V. M. Molotov which would commit the Big Four powers to consider the disarmament prob lem in the future with emphasis on the' Russian objective of ban ning atomic weapons. Molotov's repeated efforts to di vorce European security from German unity got a chilly West ern reception.

University Seeks Identification Of C. V. Cummer Who is C. V. Cummer? This is the question asked by studalts who have posters signed with this name tacked to numer ous trees on campus. Most of the signs can be read in sequence, similar to the road side signs advertising a shaving cream familiar to motorists. Oth ers simply ask, "Who is C. V. Cummer?" • Students are not the only per sons inquiring about Mr. Cum mer. It seems that tacking posters on campus trees is prohibited by a University regulation. So Wilmer E. Kenworthy, di rector of student affairs, has ask ed the Campus Patrol to look for Mr. Cummer. And Walter W. Trainer, landscape supervisor, has instructed his men to take down the signs. If Mr. Cummer wants his ap parent fame to continue, he'll have to put up more signs. If he puts up more signs, he may get caught by the Campus Patr.ol. So we may soon know who is C. V. Cummer. means of free elections," U.S. Sec retary of State Dulles said, "we are not prepared to consider frag mentary Soviet proposals to put asunder what the four heads of government joined together." British Foreign Secretary Har old Macmillan said that "Since Mr. Molotov on his return from Moscow in effect tore up the sum mit conference directive by refus ing to discuss the prospect of a reunited Germany under a system of free elections, it seems to us that discussion of these projects is irrelevant and contrary to the will and the spirit of the directive un der which we are working." French Foreign Minister An toine Pinay said he had made clear the views of his government "concerning the two inseparable parts of Item One of our agenda, European security and German reunification." "Mr. Molotov did not feel that FOR A BETTER PENN STATE Jar of Paint Found Hidden Behind Lion A quart jar of olivedrab paint was found behind a tree approxi mately 100 feet to the rear of the Nittany Lion statue at 7:30 p.m. last night by members of Alpha Chi Rho fraternity, who w ere guarding the monument at the time. According to the group watch ing the Lion, a lone man dressed in khaki pants and a dark coat was seen walking through the woods behind the statue while the fraternity guards were having their picture tak en standing watch over the statue. - A detachent was sent out to scour the woods and adjoining parking lots in search of • the man, thought to be a student from the University of Pittsburgh, but to no avail. Upon returning to their post af ter a thorough search, the stu dents found the jar of paint in its hiding place behind a tree which the intruder had passed. The group reported no attempts were made to paint the lion. he could pursue this road . . . I express my very strong regret," Pinay added. On the eve of concluding the deadlocked 21-day parley, the Western ministers resolved not to consent at this time to another conference with Molotov in 1956. In two sessions lasting seven hours today, the conference: 1. Broke down on development of East-West contacts. 2. Disagreed on further ap proaches to disarmament negotia tions. 3. Killed a Russian proposal for a nonaggression pact between the Atlantic alliance and the Soviet controlled Warsaw treaty bloc. 4. Killed a Russian proposal for pulling out half the foreign troops in Germany, reducing total armed forces of the four powers by the number withdrawn, and putting a ceiling on the military strength of East and West Germany. ToUrgian Statement Made After Painting Of Pitt Campus Students who take - part in any action involving the des truction of property on the University of Pittsburgh cam- Pus this week will be subject to disciplinary action, Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said yester day. Simes made this announcement after receiving word from Theo dore Biddle, dean of men at Pitt, that the Pitt campus had been painted Monday night. Biddle said that the words, "Penn State beat Pitt," had been painted in blue paint in several ) places along the sidewalk outside the Cathedral of Learning, the main building on the Pitt campus. Black Enamel Used The same inscription was paint ed on the building at three en trances. These were painted in black enamel. Simes said that Biddle was not sure whether or not students from the University were responsible for the damage to the Pitt cam pus. Simes added, however, that the evidence seemed to show pretty conclusively that Univer sity students were involved. Another regrettable side to the incident, according to Simes, was the fact that now that University students apparently have made the first move, students from Pitt will feel justified in retaliating by defacing some of the University campus. Could Lead to Serious Trouble Things of this nature, Simes said, often lead to a chain re action of events which may end in serious trouble on either cam pus. Monday night Interfraternity Council voted to have member houses guard the Lion Shrine at the suggestion of the dean of men's office. That office received a phone chill from the dean of men's office at Pitt stating that the Lion Shrine should be guard ed since Pitt students had paint.. ed the University of West Vir ginia campus last week.
