PA., WEDNESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30, 1955 The effect of the number of students in each TV viewing room was also investigated. No differ ence on performance was - 'noted whether there are 15 or 150 in the class. The courses included in the sur vey during the first half of the semester are Chemistry 1, Air Sci ence 3, Psychology 2, and Music 5. The instructional television re search is being conducted by C. R. Carpenter, professor of psychol ogy, and Greenhill. Proctors or graduate assistants are present in all the viewing rooms e x cep t in those of one course. From a poll of student opinion in this course, it was re ported that talking on the part of a few students in the" TV rooms was seriously interfering with the ability of others to see and hear TV Courses Necessary In this particular course. half of the students currently enrolled could not have been adMitted without .closed-circuit TV. This class is especially appro priate for TV presentation be cause of the necessity of closely viewed demonstrations, Greenhill said, and that through the honor system.. amt....theAtudents them selves, -' - thedirroblftt could be solved.

Faure Cabin PARIS, Nov. 29 (JP)—Pre mier Edgar Faure's Cabinet —the 21st in France since the war—was voted out of office tonight. It had lasted nine months 'and a week. The government was defeated 318-218 on a vote of confidence on a procedural question growing out of Faure's demand that the Assembly cut its life short by six months and go to the country in an early general election. The ouster of Faure was a vic tory for ex-Premier Pierre Men des France, also a Radical Social ist. Mendes-France is trying to reorganize the Radical Socialist party and wanted more time to get ready for the elections. He POR A SETTER PENN STATE Alien 'Non-Resident' Tuition Case Reviewed Exceptions to a ruling by a Philadelphia judge that foreign-born aliens are subject to "non-resident" fees at the University were heard Monday in Philadelphia's Common Pleas Court. The exceptions were filedipagainst a ruling made last Sept. 6 by Judge Raymond Mac- Nellie, of the Philadelphia court, that the University has the legal right to charge a foreign-born alien "non-resident" tuition fees. ore Cold --erature hit a new season low of nine degrees above zero. 'The preseni cold spell is expected to continue through tomorrow, according to students in the department of met eorology. Above, William Groscup, senior in meteorology from Folsum, checks the temperature at 5:30 p.m. on the University' therinograph. The thermograph is a device which records the temperature. By that time the tempera ture-had risin to 22 degrees above zero. But today's fore cast calls for more cloudy, windy and cold weather. The high temperature is expected to reach 25 degrees with a low of 10. Possible snow flurries are also predicted. Nurock Fired f Lion party clique chairman Thomas Dye yesterday "relieved" Robert Nurock "of his duties" as campaign manager of the party. This followed a previous state ment by Dye announcing the resignation of Nurock because he produced "factionalism" in the party by reading an anonymous letter at a recent steering com mittee meeting. Dye said N u r o c k had not brought any criticism to the prop er people at the proper time (be fore the end of the elections' campaign) and brought the sub-1 ject up at an open meeting instead of in private. Nurock replied to Dye's state ment saying he had not resigned from the party and had not been notified of his reasons for causing "factionalism." Nurock also said the letter was et Voted Out of Office now is assured of at least a few months. Mendes-France also is fighting for a district voting system, like that in the United States, to re place the present modified form of proportional representation. The present outlook is that no elections can be held b e f ore March or April, with the possi bility that the Assembly will con tinue until June, when its regular five-year term expires. Faure's downfall had been fore seeable since Oct. 6, when he oust , ed four Social Republican Gaul list ministers from his Cabinet for open opposition to his Moroccan policies. Since that time he had survived four confidence votes in six weeks on North African policies and the early election issue only through rom Lion Post not anonymous, since Edward Long, candidate for sophomore class president, admitted later at the steering committee meeting he was the letter's author. He also said a meeting was held a week before the end of the cam paign when suggestions for im provement of the campaign were made. When informed that Nurock said he had not resigned, Dye said he had relieved Nurock of his duties, implying that the for mer campaign manager would not agree to Dye's use of the word "resignation." In a second statement, Nurock stated that "Mr. Dye has implied that if I will not resign from my post, he is forced to relieve me of my duties." He said, "This sort of coercion (Continued on page eight) makeshift majorities on each sep arate question. In tonight's vote he had against him the Communists, Socialists, Gaullists, a considerable part of his own Radical Socialist party, the small leftist union of Demo cratic and Socialist Resistants, and big chunks of the right wing In dependents and Peasants. The Communists enabled Faure to win on the last two votes of confidence, but deserted him to night. He had not asked their sup port. The legislative snarl over the new method of holding the elec tions is still far from resolved. The next government which may be a long time forming— may be charged with devoting it self almost exclusively to this problem. Town Housing Soo Pogo 4 The case involves Friederike Witte, junior in education, who is a native of Munich, Germany, but gives her address as that of her uncle, Herman Witte, Philadel phia. Has Permanent Visa Miss Witte, whose parents and a brother and two sisters live in Munich, is in the United States on a permanent immigration visa. which means she may stay it U.S. as long as she wishes, r. at any time to her native many, or apply for citizenshir ter fi v e years of resident! America. Her uncle first took suit ag;.‘, the University for charging her non-resident fees in December, 1954. He claimed that although she was an alien, she was a resident of the state since she makes her home in Philadelphia with him. Case Seemed Closed The case seemed to have been closed, as the court on Sept. 6 ruled in favor of the University. However, exceptions to this rul ing were heard by the court Mon day. The court took no action on the exceptions, but took the case un der advisement, which means the evidence of both sides will be weighed "at home" by a judge and the decision will be an nounced at the judge's leisure. Attorney Doubts Her Return Francis D. Pastorius, Witte's at torney, argued at the hearing that the training she would receive as a teacher in America would be useless in Munich. Pastorius, according to the As sociated Press, used that argu ment in an - attempt to refute char ges that Miss Witte, who is 21- years old, would return to her na tive Germany after receiving a teacher's degree. He further told Judges Byron Milner and Mac Neille that Miss Witte's testimony at previous hearings plainly indicated she had no intention of returning to Germany after she graduates from the University. Miss Witte Undecided Miss Witte told the Daily Col legian yesterday that she could not say at present whether she will return to Germany after her graduation. She further said she "would think" she would apply for U.S. citizenship. She said she had one more year to wait until (Continued on page two) Seven Fined $4l By Traffic Court Seven students were fined $4l Monday night by Traffic Court.
