6 Theta Chi Students
Seized on Pitt Campus
Six students from Theta Chi fraternity were arrested Tuesday night on the University
of Pittsburgh campus when police thought they intended to cause damage to the campus.
The students apparently made a wrong turn into a one-way street and were picked up
by Pittsburgh police. Questioning revealed the six were froni the University.
Police then called in a night watchman from the campus who told of an earlier group
driving on campus. It was rumored these students were from Theta Delta Chi.
' The six students picked up by
the police were, according to the
Associated Press: Richard Ger
hard, sophomore in arts and let
ters from Barnesville; John Kel
ler, sophomore in chemical engi
neering from Hyndman; George
Walker, sophomore in mechani
cal engineering from Somerset,.

West Blames Russia
For Geneva Failure
GENEVA, Nov. 16 (!P)—Russia and the Western Powers
tonight broke up the Big Four conference in confessed failure
to secure the peace of Europe, unify Germany, or expand
East-West relations.
The three Western foreign ministers bitterly accused Rus
sia's V. , M. Molotov of bad faith in all his major proposals
during the three-week conference.
Molotov, in his concluding
speech, claimed that only the So
viet Union had maintained the
"Geneva spirit" which marked
the summit conference here four
months ago,.
In a separate declaration di
rected to Germans on both sides
of the Iron Curtain, the U.S,
French and British ministers said
their governments would "not
cease their efforts to end the in
justice and wrong now being done
by dividing the German people."
Ministers •Agree
All four ministers agreed on
only one thing—no commitment
to meet again.
The final conference communi
que said they would ,"report the
result of their discussions to their
respective heads of government
and recommend that the future
course of the discussions of the
foreign ministers should be set
tled through diplomatic chan
nels."
In 21 days, the conference
scored a series of massive fail
ures.
Contribute Nothing
Contrary to the directive from
the heads of government at the
summit meeting last July, the
ministers contributed nothing to
"the relaxation of international
tension and the consolidation of
confidence between states." In
stead, their prolonged psychologi
cal warfare here created new dis
trust.
They froze harder the division
of Germany between Western and

3 Records Set
During Campus
Blood Drive
Three records were set last
week during the three-day blood
drive sponsored by the campus
Red Cross unit.
Second day contributions, total
ing 290 pints, were the highest
collected in one day by a blood
mobile in the Johnstown area.
The three-day total of 672 pints
was the largest amount collected
in any one campus visit.
- The Johnstown Red Cross
Blood Center, associate sponsor
of the drive, was able to make its
highest weekly blood collection
since 1952. A minimum weekly
collection of 600 pints is neces
sary to supply the Johnstown
area.
The blood drive this fall was
held three days instead of the
usual two. This extension was
made pqssible by the increased
facilities provided by the Johns
town bloodmobile.
A 900-pint goal had been set
for the three days by the cam
pus Red Cross committee. Com
mittee chairmen said that the
number of broken appointments
was responsible for the failure
of the drive to meet its goal.
More blood was donated this year,
however, than in previous years.
The high temperature yester
day was 55 degrees. The low
was 46.
Today's weather is forecast
to be cloudy, windy, and much
colder with snow flurries, ac
cording to students in the me
teorology department.
The maximum temperature
will be approximately 29 de
grees.
