PA., THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5. 1956 Ice Witte, junior in education, a native of Munich, Germany, who gives her address as that of her uncle, Herman Witte, Philadel phia, who filed the exceptions. 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. This means she may remain in the U.S. as long as she wishes, re turn at any time to her native Germany, or apply for citizenship after five years of American resi dence. Her uncle first took suit against the University for charging her non-resident fees in December, 1954. Claims She's State Resident He claimed that although she was an alien, she was a resident of the state since she made her home with him in Philadelphia. The case seemed closed as the court ruled in favor of the Uni versity on Sept. 6, but Witte filed exceptions to the decision. In the exceptions, Witte, through his lawyer, claimed that Miss Witte would not return to Ger many upon her graduation and that universities-“must be avail able to all—citizen and alien alike.” The court’s action this week threw out the exceptions. Enrolled at University in 1953 Miss Witter came to America in 1950 as an exchange student at Philadelphia’s Grove High School and returned to Germany in 1951. She came back to the .U.S. in the fall of 1952 and a year later en rolled at the University. Miss Witte told the Daily Col legian that she has a scholarship which covers the out-of-state tui tion. A University spokesman has said that this would indicate that the case was fought as a mat ter of principle. University policy is to charge aliens, whether they are residents or non-residents of the state, non resident fees, according to C. O. Williams, University registrar.

The election year race to help the farmers—whose income has been falling while the rest of the economy booms immediately produced one big area of agree ment: There should be a "soil bank” or “fertility bank” scheme under which the government would fun nel money to farmers who retire crop land from unnecessary pro duction. ’ The White House announced on this second day of the new ses sion that'Eisenhower will send a special farm message to Congress lon Monday. FOR A BETTER PENN STATE McCarthy Hits Prexy, 2 Others Republican Senator Joseph R. McCarthy, of Wisconsin, yester day charged Dr. Milton S. Eisen hower, president of the Univer sity, along with two others, with damaging the administration’s record, the Associated Press re ported. Paul Hoffman, board chairman of the Studebaker-Packard Corp., and Harold Stassen, special assis tant of disarmament to President Dwight D. Eisenhower, were also named by McCarthy, Discussing the view held by some strategists that the Republi can party should campaign for votes mainly on the administra tion’s record, McCarthy said “the record would be much better” if the three were removed from their advisory capacities. Dr. Eisenhower has twice previ ously come un der attack by McCarthy. Oh March 16 McCar- thy blamed the “holdovers from the Roosevelt re gime” and Dr. Eisenhower for the nation’s pol- Milton Eiienhower icy of “co-existence” with com munism. McCarthy said he fav ored a more aggressive policy of “liberation” for Soviet satellites. Again, on May 23, McCarthy attacked 'Dr-. 'Eisenhower,“terming him “the unofficial president of the United States.” He said Dr. Eisenhower, in advising the presi dent, was “more than an influ ence on his brother.” The University’s administration has declined to comment on yes terday’s statements by McCarthy. Dr. Eisenhower is'currently visit ing at Key West, Fla., with the President, who is recovering from a September heart attack. Bus Ad College Given $250 Library Grant A gift of $250 to be used for the purchase of library materials to further the study o£*banking and financing has been received by the Collage of Business Adminis tration from the Pennsylvania Bankers Association.

Ellender-<D- La) said the Senate Agriculture Committee had agreed to go to work at once on a broad new farm program and try to have it “on the President’s desk by Feb ruary 15th.” Ellender said he would try to keep the farm relief program out of poltiics, saying: “The way farm prices have been going down recently, it hurts Re publicans as well as Democrats.” White House secretary James C. Hagerty said at Key West, Fla., that Eisenhower is speeding his program to Congress because of the great importance he attaches to the farm problem. Republican politicians have ex pressed frank concern about the crop price situation, with both presidential and congressional elections coming up this fall. Dem ocrats are blaming the administra tion for the decline, while Repub licans reply that the drop got egtatt January Grads To Suggest Gift This year for the first time January graduates of the University will have the opportunity of taking part in the selection of the senior class gift. ' The new plan was announced yesterday by Martha Mc- Donald, chairman of the senior class gift committee. Gift selection boxes will be placed at 5 locations on campus starting today and will be left there until Tuesday. These include the Hetzel Union desk, West Dorms, Simmons, McElwain and Grange Dormitories. The suggestion boxes are open to any member of. the senior class, but because the program was planned especially for January graduates, they are encouraged to submit their suggestions. Boxes Collected Tuesday The boxes will be collected Tuesday by members of the Sen ior Class Advisory Board, who will compose a ballot of the lead ing suggestions. January graduates may vote on their selections when they pick up their caps and gowns at. the Athletic Store on Jan. 26, 27, 28, and 30. The top two or three suggestions for the gift will go into another ballot to be prepared in the spring when June graduates will vote. Prior to that time the gift selec tion boxes will be put up again for the suggestions of June grad uates. $9500 Set Aside „ j Approximately. $9500 has been set aside for the senior class gift, but this amount is subject to change as the year progresses. Before this year, January grad uates had never had a hand in the selection of their class gift. The Senior Class Advisory Board decided to include the January graduates in the gift suggestion program in order to give them more of a share in the activities of their class and to bring more unity to the two graduating classes. - Last year’s senior class pre sented $lO,OOO to the University for pews and furnishings for the nave of the Helen Eakin Eisen hower Chapel. It was picked over four other suggestions, which were social television facilities, rebuilding of a recreation lodge, a centennial monument, and an endowment fund for the Pattee Library. Last year was the third year the senior class gift had been con tributed toward the chapel pro gram. Cabinet Cancels Meeting All-University Cabinet will not meet tomorrow. The next meeting is scheduled for Jan. 12, according to All-Uni versity. President Earl Seely. started under farm policies laid down by Democratic regimes. Farm prices, and income, have been dropping for years. The de cline continued in December. Secretary of Agriculture Ezra T. Benson met at breakfast this morning with members of the House Agriculture Committee. He said afterward, “It will be up to the President to say what his recommendations are.” However, Benson said the rec ommendations are sure to include the idea of a soil bank. Sen^Ellen der said some form of fertility bank would be a key point in the program his committee will whip out. Under this system, farmers would get government payments for taking land out of production where it would otherwise add to surpluses. The idea is this would get cash to the farmers, arid at the same time keep surpluses from building up.

Dean of Men Frank J. Simes said yesterday the student was put on probation by his college for possessing crib notes in a chemis try laboratory. An offense of this type has been labeled premeditated cheating by the disciplinary subcommittee of the Senate Committee on Student Affairs. This type of cheating in volves the use of either crib notes or plagiarism when preparing pa pers or themes. The newly formulated academic honesty policy provides that the violation will be entered on the student’s permanent record. It may be petitioned off after one school year. The last student to be penalized under the policy was a seventh semester student in mineral in dustries, who received discipli nary probation for a similar viola tion on Dec. 12.

Bradshaw, a 1925 graduate of the University, has ar rived in America after five years of imprisonment and torture in the hands of the Chinese Reds in Hong Kong, according to the As sociated Press.
