411 STATE COLLEGE. 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.
Providing oppirtunities for litu
dents to-ask questions is the ma
jor iquestiOn. being considered
Inoir. A two-way microphone sys
tem could be installed m each
room, and a student would be
able to speak directly to the in
structor. Through another micro
phone in the live classroom, the
instructor could 'answer the stu
dent.
Disansion
„Discussion periods could be con
ducted by graduate assistants id
each viewing room after a 35-min
ute presentation. •
Another possibility could be ro
tating the students through the
live classroom.
An experimental rotation me
thod was used in the Commerce
30 course. During the first four
weeks of the semester, one group
of students had been in. the live
classroom all the time; another
had been in a viewing room all
the time. A third group had spent
two weeks in
.the viewing room
and two weeks in the live class
room.

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

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.

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.

a brother and two sisters live in
Munich, is in the United States
on a permanent immigration visa.

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
